XYPLORER cannot properly open the path of the shortcut

Post by star »

As stated in the title, XYPLORER is located at C:\Tools\XYplorer\. Through the right-click menu, I tried to open the location of the executable file of a shortcut, but an error occurred saying that the program XY64ctxmenu.exe could not be found.

I then tried entering the following command in the Run dialog (Win+R):

Code: Select all

"C:\Tools\XYplorer\XY64ctxmenu.exe" /regserver  
However, it didn’t work and showed the following error:

XY64ctxmenu.exe - Fatal error
---------------------------
The first argument did not contain
an existing XYplorer hWnd...

Aborted!

Select the shortcut (*.lnk file) in the list and open the Meta tab of the Info Panel (F12). Does the target displayed on the tab appear correct?

The ink true Path is "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe", the target displayed on the tab appears correct.

But double-clicking the LNK file does not work?

The ink works normally, but I click "Open the folder containing the file," an error window pops up saying "Application not found."

"Open the folder containing the file" is currently not supported. I'll look at this again once the 64-bit version is officially released.
