Favoriting "Recycle Bin"

Post by pissant »

XYplorer 8.80.00000000000000000000000000000000000
WinXP Pro SP3

1. Select "Recycle Bin" in XYplorer.

2. Make "Recycle Bin" a favorite.

3. Select "Recycle Bin" from the Favorites toolbar button or menu. I get no response but this error:
Couldn't find location:
C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Recycle Bin\
Also, if I then open the list of Favorites, select "Recycle Bin", and hit delete, it appears to be removed. But if I then click Sort, it reappears.

I think that right there is the problem...as that was fixed in 8.80.02 http://xyplorer.blogspot.com/2009/12/v8 ... -2038.html
as a result of this similar thread http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4459

Did you search for "recycle bin" before posting?
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, but I didn't find that thread. Thank you.

The latest beta also has the second bug I mentioned:
f I then open the list of Favorites, select "Recycle Bin", and hit delete, it appears to be removed. But if I then click Sort, it reappears.

This is probably a side effect of traces of the first bug? I cannot reproduce it.

I can reproduce it every time with 8.80.0061:

1. Make sure "Recycle Bin" isn't in the list of favorite folders.

2. Add "Recycle Bin" to the list of favorites.

3. Open "Favorite Folders" in "List Management". The "Recycle Bin" should be at the very bottom.

4. Select "Recycle Bin" and click Delete. It disappears.

5. Click Sort. "Recycle Bin" reappears.

Indeed! You discovered an old bug that went uncovered for at least 2 years. Nothing to do with "Recycle Bin" but with deleting the last item in the list!
