Paste files to folder via right click in directory tree

Post by FrankBKK »

I am used to paste a bunch of files via c&p by right-click on another folder in the directory tree and select 'paste' in Windows Explorer - in XY that seems to not work and even more worse - XY don't remember the selected files and I have to go back to the original folder and select them again for copy, then move to the destination folder and click in the file window to drop them there.

It is not a big deal to work around that but it is quite annoying and takes time to change habits ....

Is this a bug or a feature ? ;-)

And what other options are recommended for quick copy/move a few files to a bunch of various folders ?

I can't confirm.
Copy-paste this code in the addressbar of XY and press ENTER.

Code: Select all

::freshhere
A new instance of XYplorer will open. Try your file copy-paste operation there. Does it work there?

that's odd - after this command it works fine - but only until the next start of XY - there is actually not even a 'paste' option in the popup menu - see pic attached

Disable Tools > Configuration > Shell Integration > 64-bit Windows > Show the 64-bit context menu

You can always get to the 64-bit menu from the normal ctx XY menu that will be enabled.
