The type column and the extension column are always the same

Post by Xtruth »

Why do xyplorer have both a "type column" and an "extension column" in the detail view? The two are always the same

Are you certain? Have you actually set up both to display?

As phred already showed, you are wrong, they are never the same.
One program my support many extensions which all have the type of it.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)
Everything 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.69

Common example: jpg vs jpeg

I was confused because it also writes the extension in the type column
For example, if the extension is jpg, write jpg in the type column, and if the extension is jpeg, write jpeg in the type column.
That's why I was saying what is the need for it
But now I understand that the type column is for those who both want to type and want to see the extension, but the extension column is for those who want to see only the extension.

It all depends on the registry.
