Perhaps I did not specify the exact sequence of events that culminates in the errors.

I can reproduce as often as I care.
Set up the sync
Left click preview
Left click report (to confirm what is going to happen)
Select any they all fail
If at at left click preview go to close
Left click start
Reports ok
Then report works ok
____________________________________________________
Works on VB with a separte ini

Set up the sync
Left click preview
Left click report
Select any they pass
Left click close
Left click start
Left click report
Select any they pass
Left click start to execute
Left click report
Select any they pass

! Scrollbar Issues In Long Lists

With 0806 no problems anymore in a 50k file list

Perhaps I did not specify the exact sequence of events that culminates in the errors.

Still can't reproduce.

Hi Don Brian back re no reports on sync

The solution is hidden in the error report it talks about DPI 144 150% 1920-1080

I changed the Scale factor on windows from 100% to 150% to increase the size of text in some apps.
Changing back to 120 not 100 solves the problems.
Back to you to fight with MS again

Yeah, got it in the meantime. The next version should fix it.

XYplorerTB.exe, v27.00.0808, 64-bit, NOT digitally signed, zipped

Code: Select all

v27.00.0808 - 2025-06-29 15:49
    ! Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Play a sound on certain 
      events: Now embedded sounds (WAVE resources) work for foreground and background file 
      operations.
    ! High DPI: On screen scaling > 150% showing various dialogs could fail with error 340 
      (Control array element does not exist). Fixed.
    ! High DPI: On odd screen scalings > 150%, say 175%, various interface elements could 
      be wrongly sized or positioned, and the mouse position could be detected wrongly. In 
      this version it's still not perfect but better.
    ! Various fixes.
    
Remarks:
    > XYTB is still XP+. Just the multi path Shell Context Menu is Win7+.
    > Crashes after X-closing the Floating Preview (F11).

What's in the ZIP file is XYPlorer64.twinproj. Should it be an EXE?

[admin]

My mistake, try again.

[kinook]

This build fixed the issues I had with missing buttons on the Configuration dialog and errors showing Quick View.

Something new is that when starting the app, the panes are shown in unmaximized state (not filling the entire window), while the window itself is maximized.

Unmaximizing and maximizing again fixes it.

[admin]

Could you send me your INI file?

[brianhuahin]

Not allways the bearer of bad news the use of MS Defender to scan a single file on demand works the same as Explorer which is not saying much.

Regarding v27.00.0809 - 2025-06-30 12:00 and high DPI scaling related issues: Can confirm as FIXED for the three scaling factors I checked: 175%, 150%, 125%. Many thanks!!

As a side note: Although my Win10 Pro, 64-bit, 22H2, Build 19045.5965 has formally been set to 175% (who knows when), I realized during todays tests that apparently neither Win UI, nor the applications were actually following this setting. My current idea is that maybe it was some limbo state, which produced all this for *some* users. Just an idea. However, during my today's testing both Win and all the apps were following the scaling changes (and so I realized the differences). Finally I realized that I actually can not use the scalings >=150%, both being too large then! So I am now at 125%. In German: Eine echt schräge Geschichte, das Ganze.

v27.00.0809 solves the problem with my Toolbar layout.

Unfortunately, selecting multiple files from a list still takes ages.
