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

[bobfleming]

In the thread itself, whenever a new beta is available

Right, but at the moment it looks like one needs to do a bit of searching to find where in the thread it is. Is that the case, or am I being a bit blind? Would be nice if e.g. post one could be updated to hold the most current release.

The last one is here: viewtopic.php?p=230123#p230123

Once it can really replace the old XYVB version it will probably get a "BETA Versions for Download" thread as well (or will be integrated into the current one)

[admin]

That menu freeze issue should be fixed in the next release.

New version of XYplorer (64-bit) compiled with twinBASIC BETA 814:

XYplorerTB.exe, v27.00.0720, NOT digitally signed, zipped

Code: Select all

    > XYTB is Win 7+.
    > Crashes after closing the Floating Preview (F11). Can't fix it because it only happens 
      in the compiled version. :\
    ! Fixed issues concerning shortcuts (LNK).
    ! Fixed freeze in shell context menu.
    ! Various fixes.

There will be glitches, there will be bugs. Work in progress.

With 0720 I can confirm that left click drag and drop on a folder shortcut works fine again
I can confirm as well that the context menu freeze with FastExplorer is gone

But unfortunately the menu items themselves are non functional, after clicking one of them I get:

0720 in a fresh dir.
In contrast to Highend's finding, the menu items work here.

Still the problem that I can't change anything under Shell Integration.

The ones created by FastExplorer?
Show the .ini you're using for FastExplorer please...

With XYTB v720 in a ::fresh instance on Win 10 x64

• If XYCopy.exe is in the XY folder when XY starts, then XY will later be unable to delete items. There is no problem if XYCopy.exe is added to the folder after XY has started.

• I can confirm that dragging files to folder links now works.

Sorry, was a wrong entry for testing.
I get the same error as highend on a FastExplorer entry.

Btw. the Fast Explorer entries are working fine in x64 Total Commander.
So It's nothing exotic in the registry.

Actually, the entries that are available via FastExplorer aren't in the registry at all

Using TB .0720 I'm finding that Command #642 does nothing. In VB I have it set as a middle click on a custom toolbar button to empty the recycle bin.

I've also found that the DEL key does not delete a file in the list.
