XYplorer Beta Club
This morning update to version 26.70.
Something I usually do without a hitch, now failed:
Added 3 pictures to my 'puzzels'-folder with XYPlorer. Went into Excel for my puzzles list, added 3 rows and wanted to link to these three images, but they couldn't be found by Excel.
Adobe Bridge also didn't register there were 3 more puzzle pictures added.
So I reverted to the regular Windows Explorer, which did everything I wanted just fine.
A bug?
Version 26.70: files not found by other programs
Forum rules
READ THIS AND DO IT!!!
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.
When attaching an Image, please use the Attachment tab at the bottom of your post and click "Add files".

Capture a short .gif animation and attach it to the next post to show what is happening...

Re: Version 26.70: files not found by other programs
Interesting: My old Excel file couldn't find the new image (11111111111111111111.jpg), but when I started a new Excel file, the image was found. Both shown in animation.
Adobe Bridge still only lists 3 new files as per today.
I don't know if the link to the animation comes through, so here it's separately:
https://mega.nz/file/0uZ2FT6Q#b2hl_6Xoa ... cnlXy-TqSk
Later: I now think it's a problem not related to XYPlorer, as I've been reproducing the same failure with Windows Explorer after the initial success.
Maybe I've got a virus. I'll update once I know more. Sorry to have troubled you.

Re: Version 26.70: files not found by other programs
When you've copied it over and you get the window in Excel to select the file to hyperlink, the window does show a completely different file list than the one in XYplorer...
And not only a "111111..." is missing there

Re: Version 26.70: files not found by other programs
Yes, that's normal. In de old puzzle-file I've told Excel all the pictures I want are in the puzzles-folder. When I start a new Excel file it'll first look in the regular folders, documents etc., like most people use. Thanks for the reply, though. I now think it's not a XYPlorer bug, so sorry I've wasted your time.
Later:
BUT: you gave me an idea! And the problem is solved. I feel so dumb now. Somehow I made a copy of the whole puzzles folder. I apparently placed the three new puzzle pictures in the second one, whereas Excel looks in the first one, of course. And when I tried it with Windows Explorer I placed the pictures in the correct folder, which is why I thought the problem lay within XYPlorer. A very big sorry for wanting to blame XYPlorer!
P.S. Could you delete this topic? It's so not related to XYPLorer.
