Hello and welcome to XYplorer Club!

It would be useful to know what version of XYplorer you are running.

The extent to which XYplorer is fully Unicode is a mystery to me. Lots of its features support Unicode though. I searched through the changelogs (thanks j_c_hallgren for the blog) and the only thing that I can see related to this issue is this:

Code: Select all

+ Added tweak to fix, or rather workaround, a strange caret position error in Tree/List inline rename with Unicode characters, aka "Chinese odd thing".
  [General]
  FixOddThing=1
Note that with this workaround you may notice a horizontal misalignment of text when pasting into inline rename boxes. It's harmless but cosmetically unsatisfying.
Don is out of the office at the moment, so it may be a while before you get the word directly from the developer, but we'll try to help as much as we can in the meantime.

That's part of the reason I created it because I found it hard to search JUST the Beta update thread here in the forum, and the blog provides another alternative.

I also wish to thank you as a somewhat recent forum member yourself (at least compared to some of us!) for responding to these new user posts as I've seen you do! You're doing a good job being part of our "family" here! :D
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Yes, I too had no luck trying to search that section. Do you have any idea why it's so difficult? Beats me.

Thank you for the compliment, I try to chip in now and then :) I also think that in Don's absence away on holiday, his 10-hours-a-day coding habits and growing popularity of XYplorer it will be more and more important for forumites to provide assistance where we can.

Hi! I never heard of any problems with localized names since the app supports Unicode. Can you provide a screenshot? Thanks, Don

I post the screenshot to another host. And added a screenshot of Q-Dir for compare.

The localized names of "My Documents", "My Computer", "Desktop" .......etc. are not displayed properly in XYplorer.
