Invalid name when using "Move Here to New Subfolder"

Post by arirish »

Windows 11
Screen Scaling: 100%
XYplorer version: 27.20.1600

When using right-click, drag, "Copy/Move here to New subfolder..." if your new folder name contains an invalid character, you get an error message, and then the whole operation cancels. I think the expected behavior would be to return to the input box to rectify the mistake, with the text as it was.

From Admin/Don...
Forum users who have their Windows version and screen scaling percentage in the location field of their profile will get priority support. And be sure to state your XY version number in the body of your post. No info in the location field? Be patient and Don will get to you after he takes care of those who have the proper info in the proper place.

Thanks for the heads up, and fixed. I see the big header in the Bugs board about that; no such header in the Wishes board. That said, this issue still exists and I think it qualifies more as a bug than a wish, if someone could move this.
