Win11 Multi-Desktop Disable Multi-Instance

Post by TouYunG »

I disable Multiple Instance in config, but on Win11 with Multi-Desktop it can run Multiple Instance of XYplorer.
Now I use version 25.50.0100. How to fix instance?

"Never saw don't mean it is nothing!!"

I found solution, When you change "Title Bar" setting (Colors and Styles --> Templates --> Title Bar)
XYplorer it can run multi instance (when disable Allow multiple instances).

Just Try by yourself,

now I use Title Bar like this

c+B=Favor, a+B=FavorFile, s+F6=Move, c+F6=Copy, c+s+F6=Backup, F8=Tree, F9=Setting, s+F9=CustKeyb, F10=Dual, c+F10=HorzPane, F11=Show, c+F11=Prev, a+F12=Menu, c+F12=ToolB, a+c+F12=StatusB, a+F3=Search --- <app>-<ver>

(for my customize keyboard shortcut) :biggrin:

Which title bar template ignores "Allow multiple instances" and which does not?

It may be the dash in <app>-<ver>. Try a space instead: <app> <ver> or <app> - <ver>
