Auto-Refresh Still Does Not Work Properly

[admin]

1) refresh code is not yet rewritten

2) <--- icon exists, it's the very first one

hi! my settings matched yours. what i did try is uncheck/apply/re-check/apply each one and then a fresh restart of XY. i am seeing some immediate refreshes now that were not previously displaying properly. that is promising. my pc is booted fresh each day. xy usually runs all day and I only close it during a beta update or a removable drive eject.

update since doing the uncheck/apply/re-check/apply to my auto-refresh settings, all the auto-refreshes are working as intended (including the previous ones that were not working).

Glad to hear it. But I fail to see how uncheck/apply/check/apply would make any difference. Probably the restart was the essential part of your operation.

Do you have a backup of your XYplorer.ini file before doing this? Would love to see a diff from that one in comparison to the current...

hi!

this oddity had been happening for some time now. i don't think the restart had anything to do with the solution since i power-on and power-off my workstation each day and do close and re-open XY several times throughout the day. only after doing the uncheck/re-checks has it now begun to work properly (and it still is).

Do you have a backup of your XYplorer.ini file before doing this? Would love to see a diff from that one in comparison to the current...

i do have backups of the INI from each day (2 per day, noon and 6pm); however, when comparing each daily version to the version prior to making the changes (using TortoiseGIT with WinMerge) i only see changes related to application version, dates, MRUs, etc., nothing related to recognizable auto-refresh settings. there is a bit of PII contained within the files so i won't attach copies.

the good news is all the auto-refreshes are still working !

If you see no differences regarding those auto-refresh settings in the .ini file then changing them can't be the reason that it currently works^^

Sorry, looks like I should've looked before posting about this in the wrong place!

I hope I'm not too late to the party on this.

When I rename a file within a folder in the right pane by adding an underscore to the name, the auto-refresh doesn't resort the file names alphabetically. For example, I have a list of PDF docs in the right pane. They are in alphabetical order. I want one PDF to always be first in the list, even though it starts with the letter "m". I add an underscore to the beginning of the name. It should jump to the top of the list via the auto-refresh function but it doesn't. It does in Windows Explorer. The only way it jumps is if I add a numeric like "1". I assume this program doesn't recognize any other characters. It should. Adding an underscore to a name has been a sorting function for the past 40 years.

I have the most recent version of this program. Any ideas. Thanks .

Thanks, Highend. That worked perfectly!! You're the best
