Alt+F4 not working without startup.ini

[krakatoa]

Fully portable (No Install) version - no startup.ini, File/Exit (Saving) or Alt+F4, does NOT save settings. All folders are in XYplorer\Data.

But File/Save Settings does save settings. How can I use Alt+F4 to save settings again?

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Krakatoa, go into the menu Tools | Configuration...| Startup & Exit (under General) and make sure the setting "Save settings on exit" is checked. Hopefully that should do it.

[krakatoa]

Thank you klownboy. Yes this setting was already checked.

Check if XYplorer.ini is writable for you (with your rights).

[krakatoa]

Yes, I have full rights. I am the admin and only user of this PC with full admin control.

Please try to open XYplorer.ini in an editor (you can use Tools | Open Configuration File...) and save it from there. Does it work?

Yes. I can open it as you suggested and save it from within my default editor (Notepad++), no problem.

So your XYplorer.ini is not written on app exit?
And there is no error message?
And "Configuration | Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit" is ticked?
And Alt+F4 is mapped to File | Exit?

From the very first post:

But File/Save Settings does save settings.

Is this still correct?
Sounds a bit strange. What, if then you change something, and exit with save - does it save then?

Is this still correct?

Yes, still correct

What, if then you change something, and exit with save - does it save then?

No. Changes only saved via File/Save Settings.

You asked 4 questions.
Q1: XYplorer.ini is not written on app exit: Correct.
Q2: no error message
Q3: Configuration | Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit" is ticked: Yes.
Q4: Alt+F4 is mapped to File | Exit: Yes.

I do not have a Startup.ini; all folders are in Xyplorer\Data.

But when I added the the file: Xyplorer\Data\Startup.ini

Code: Select all

[Appdata]
Path=Data

Is this correct?
File\Exit(Saving) works, but Alt+F4 does not. But sometimes it does if I wait a small period of time, so perhaps there is a timing or cache issue? No Network browsing on startup is ticked.

Maybe some other process hooked Alt+F4?

[krakatoa]

Maybe some other process hooked Alt+F4?

Maybe, but Alt+F4 always closes Xyplorer.
Is my Startup.ini coded correctly? And it should also work on a USB drive-Correct?

That's the only thing that would make sense
