files opening

when i select multiple files and press Enter only the last selected file opens. however if i choose Open via mouse right click context menu, the files in the selection open as they were expected.

when i tried to open an avi (xvid) file from cd the bsplayer indicated an error and did not open the file. windows explorer worked fine. (I tried several times with the same result) I know this error may be hard to replicate so if you need further info I look further for your questions.

Off topic - Dragging a file in the panel with ctrl pressed creates as expected a copy of the file, but in order to see it, I have to hit F5. Could this be automatic? In the general settings the autorefresh on file sistem changes is enabled.

All in all it is a very nice program !

That's by design: Enter opens the focused file (not necessarily the last).

You mean preview or open? If open by enter does not work try open by ctx menu.

Should work, and does work here.

Thanks very much for your very prompt reply.

1 OK then I'll get used to it

2 I meant open. I'll try context menu and let you now.

3 I re- checked and yes, it works for local files !
It didn't / does not work when trying that in a shared directory of my brother's Linux PC... but since I don't often do that it really doesn't bother me at all.

Than you!

You might have a look at Configuration/Advanced and check Auto-refresh/Network drives. Then it should work.

Are you sure you're using XYplorer?? What about a fresh download?
