I have a PhraseEpress phrase set up where I click once on a filename and then activate the phrase. The phrase changes the extension to lower case and then renames the file to 26. The phrase has worked fine on Directory Opus for many years, but since I changed to XY a few weeks ago the phrase no longer works - it just does nothing.
I tried running PhraseExpress and XY in every combination as Administrator or regular mode and that did not help.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me to try?
Win 11 - 64 bit XY 28.20 (D. Opus was 64 bit)

Re: PhraseExpress
No problems here with that XY version and a phrase with autotext trigger

abc that will replace the current file name with 26.mp4...PhraseExpress v18.0.67d, no config changes

Re: PhraseExpress
Thanks so much for testing this on your end - that helped me narrow it down to my PhraseExpress settings as I had the same PE version.
Even though my phrase was set to execute in any program, there was a setting in "Expert Options" > "Application Restrictions" that was restricting PhraseExpress to function only in the Opus program. Once I changed that, the phrase executed just fine in Xyplorer.
Thanks again!!
