Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Aliases don't work as expected.
There is an error in the paths of nested aliases. Please see attachment for details.

Re: Aliases don't work as expected.
Create aliases:
1. home=%user%\home -good
2. dir=<get alias home>\somedir -good
3. sub=<get alias dir>\subdir -bug
or
1. dir=<xypath>\.. -good
2. sub=<get alias dir>\subdir -good
but in file-associations:
3. ext><get alias sub>\someprogram.exe -bug

Re: Aliases don't work as expected.
Nested aliases, I see. Should be fixed in next beta.

Re: Aliases don't work as expected.
Thanks a lot for a quick fix.v22.20.0222 - 2021-09-24 15:10
...
Aliases: The nesting of aliases using <get ...> was limited. It's not
anymore. Now you can do this
...
But some aliases (with relative paths) still do not work in the file-association dialog (and file-icons):
parent=<xypath>\..
ext><get alias parent>\someprogram\program.exe -dont work
or
dir=%user%\dir
ext><get alias dir>\someprogram\program.exe -dont work
