Oooooooooooooooh, this was the single worse bug in Xyplorer ever. No recyclebin was a huge pain!

Small bug though: after restoring one or more items, the list doesn't update. I.e., the items you just restored are still in the list, which is extremely confusing when you want to undelete a couple of items.

The issue with file names when items are copied out of the Recycle Bin is still present. They are not coming back with their original names.

That's fantastic!

I see that you released a fix for the 64 bit version. It would be great if you could release a fix for the 32 bit version as well, since the 64 bit version is unusable for me at the moment.

Thanks!

Oddly enough, I discovered that if you try to copy a file out of the Recycle Bin with an extension of ".url", the recovered file has no extension at all.

So if you try to recover "XYplorer Website.url", the recovered file is simply titled "XYplorer Website".

I don't know if this happens with any other extensions (not that I've seen so far, but I haven't tested it exhaustively), but I thought I'd mention it.

The shell has some strong opinions about which extension a user needs to see (there is a setting in File Explorer where you can control this). I'll see if I can work around it.

We're not talking about the typical Explorer "hidden extensions" issue.

I can create a text file "Test.url" and the extension is visible just fine.
If I delete it, I see "Test.url" in the recycle bin.
But if I recover it, it comes back as "Test", not "Test.url". That extension is missing, not hidden.

Oddly enough, if I do this in Windows Explorer:
1. Even though I have it configured to show file name extensions, in the recycle bin, ".url" extensions are hidden.
2. HOWEVER, if I recover "Test.url" from the recycle bin using Explorer, it does correctly come back as "Test.url".
