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

[highend]

Tricky, but I think I fixed it. Next release...

Nice, works with 0722

[phred]

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

Reason: viewtopic.php?p=230142#p230142

Thanks highend. Simply disabling "delete" in the background process took care of it.

I too find that unselecting "Delete" in Config | File Operations | Enable Background Processing fixes the issue I was still having with my personal installation when XYCopy.exe is present in the app folder when XY starts - that the Delete function wouldn't work. v722

[highend]

If that setting is disabled XYcopy.exe isn't used for deleting an item...
Once it was converted to x64 it should work with the setting enabled (and ofc. the x64 bit .exe in XYTB's folder and not the old x32 one)

Understood. At this point I'm trying to use the TB version exclusively to determine if the features I use are working properly. I'll just have to remember to enable it once TBx64 goes live.

Using TB .0722 on Win10.

I think I reported this or something very similar for one of the early releases, but wanted to bring it up again. I'm trying to use TB exclusively at this point to see what in my normal day to day use might not be working yet and this (for me) is a big one.

Neither left-click nor right-click drag/drop for copy or move works when dragging a file from the list to a tab or to a folder in the tree. Dragging a file in the list to the desktop works as does the reverse (a desktop file to a tab, list, or or tree.) For copying or moving.

No problems here.

[phred]

No problems here.

I was afraid you were going to say that.

I'll roll back to an older TB version after I do a PC reboot.

Rebooted PC and no change. Rolled back to TB.702 and then .407 and no change.

XYTB 0722 Win 11 up to date
Cannot copy, move or backup folders to other pane with right drag.
I saw solutions regarding XYcopy.exe issues concerning unselecting "Delete" in Config | File Operations | Enable Background Processing".
I deleted the copy, move & backup elements and problem solved.

Enjoy

Background processes (also known as XYcopy.exe) are not yet supported. I should have removed them for the time being. I will do so in the next beta version.

New version of XYplorer (64-bit) compiled with twinBASIC BETA 815:

XYplorerTB.exe, v27.00.0802, 64-bit, NOT digitally signed, zipped

Code: Select all

v27.00.0802 - 2025-06-24 11:08
  +++ Shell Context Menu: Thanks to shell Jedi fafalone's super powers the menu can now be 
      shown for items in different locations, i.e. typically in deep search results or 
      branch views. Something I tried in vain for many years finally works!
      - This feature is Win7+.
    + SC popupcontextmenu: Now you can pass a list of items, separated by CRLF or |.
      The bitness argument has no function anymore but is kept in place for backward 
      compatibility
      Syntax: popupcontextmenu [item(s)], [bitness], [flags]
        item(s): File or folder to pop the shell context menu for.
                 Can also be a list of items separated by CRLF or | (the separators must 
                 not be mixed). The items can be located in different places (Win7+).
                 Defaults to the currently focused list item.
        bitness: [Not used anymore. It's always 64-bit now.]
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Hide shell extensions.
      Examples:
        popupcontextmenu "<xydata>\XYplorer.ini|<xydata>\ks.dat"; //same location
        popupcontextmenu "%winsysdir%\Kernel32.dll|%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe"; //different locations
    - Removed tweak AllowMultiLocShellMenu. Not needed anymore.
    - Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing: Disabled 
      for the time being, as XYcopy.exe has not yet been ported to 64-bit.
    ! Various fixes.

Remarks:
    > XYTB is still XP+. Just the multi path Shell Context Menu is Win7+.
    > Crashes after closing the Floating Preview (F11).

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

Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing: Disabled
for the time being

Doesn't look like it's disabled (so that the user can't tick / untick it anymore). At least not here?

I've created 50.000 empty files in
C:\Temp\many
CTRL+A to select all, right-click on any of them leads to this context menu:

2.png (5.33 KiB) Viewed 2428 times

Clicking on properties doesn't open this window (screenshot from Windows Explorer after doing the same there):

1.png (6.34 KiB) Viewed 2428 times

but instead opens up the first context menu again (when clicked on the properties entry).
This seems to happen endlessly (note: I'm not getting multiple context menus, I'm just clicking on the properties entry each time)

Btw, in this folder with the 50k files, I can click over / under the current scroll bar slider to show the next / previous couple of files but I can't drag and drop that slider, at least: Nothing happens when I do that, the current view stays the same...

I didn't check if these issues happened with a previous version I just wanted to try out the context menu and the issues we had with the old one in the past

Yes. Argh. Next beta.

Fixed in next beta. But for 50,000 files it takes forever (about 3 to 5 minutes), don't do it
