+++ BREAKING NEWS: XYplorer goes twinBASIC +++

That menu is owned by the target. So it cannot be the XY menu.

The target being Windows?
So then this never "worked" previously, yes?

[admin]

Yep.

[klownboy]

I'm not getting a copy/move dialog when I right click drag from the list to the tree or a tab. I get "Right-click drag one item to: C:\Tools" and when released, "Copy one item to: C:\Tools". That one doesn't go away until escape is hit. This was the case previously as well.

[admin]

By copy/move dialog you mean the drop-context-menu?

[phred]

Yep.

Thanks Don.

By copy/move dialog you mean the drop-context-menu?

Yes, I believe that's what it's called. In the VB version, if I right-drag a file from the list panel to a folder in the tree (or a tab), the dialog box that comes up when you release the button (the drop-context menu). That's the one. It doesn't work in the TB version. I get instead what I explained above.

[admin]

But it does work when dragging between the two list panes? (It does here.)

[klownboy]

No, it doesn't for me. If I try to copy via right drag from either panel to the opposite panel or to the tree(or tab), I have the same result mentioned above. (I updated my Windows build)

An issue I have noticed that has been present in previous XY tB releases including current .0307, is that the Tools | Customize List or Tools | Customize Tree menu is intermittently missing all its checkmarks, and the menu is drawn in a different style with smaller checkmarks and different shade of blue hover highlighting, when it is drawn in this style, clicking on the items doesn't remove the checkmark, but does perform the change in the List/Tree, eg.

To repro,

1. Launch fresh XY tB
2. Shift+RClick Tree Whitespace
3. Shift+RClick List Whitespace
4. Close menu without making a selection
5. Goto Tools | Customize Tree from the main menu (Alt+T e)
6. Check Tools | Customize List too
7. result = alternate menu style visible, List menu possibly missing all checkmarks

Also still on the subject of menus, some menus such as Tools | List Management show the dividers as hyphens initially.

I've found that toggling the visibility of the Main Menu via toolbar button returns all the menus to their normal state, making hyphens into dividers, correct style checkmarks etc.

To get klownboy's described behavior disable this:

Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | [ ] Use standard shell drag and drop

Correct, thanks jupe for establishing that condition.

Hi! In viewtopic.php?p=227944#p227944 I have reported an issue in XYplorerTB, which has not been reported by others. The issue is: The Use Custom Copy button (cucopy) appears to be dead (no help on hover, no function on click). The first button to the right (in my case a ctb13) acts as functional cucopy. Also, in the analogue way, all further buttons to the right have "shifted" functionality.
...

Can't reproduce with any of your settings. (Win 11)

good morning all ! i read through the posts and wasn't able to find an answer and if there was, maybe new information is available.

at some point, do you plan to have a final-final VB version released ? i am assuming you will continue forward with the TB version from this point. i realize that once you go forward with TB, have you ruled out any chances of back-porting any game breaking fixes to the VB version ? or will that final be final and we get what we get ?

at this time, i have zero interest in the TB version as i feel it will be a bottleneck in future fixes, improvements and new features (since we'll also have to rely on the TB team). if/when there is a final VB version, i will use that as i don't really have any unaddressed issues and honestly, there are so many existing features that i still haven't used/explored. easily enough to keep me going.

lastly, i am on a lifetime license for my personal machine. if approved for my new work workstation, would a license of the VB still be available for purchase ? i am using they key would work for both.
