Two questions - Single click and Overriding Explorer (Opera)

Post by highstream »

I haven't used XYplorer for a few years and find that I very much like what I see now in the trial version. A couple of questions:

1) I've enabled single click but it seems to have limited applicability. Is there a way to make single click work generally?

2) I've made XYplorer the default file manager. In Opera browser (10.5x), however, there seem to be two related situations where it's not working: a) when a file is ready to download, clicking on Save in the Run/Save/Cancel box opens WinExplorer, and b) after finishing the download, there's a brief pop up in the corner asking if I'd like to open the folder, and when I do, it opens Win Explorer. Has anyone found a way to deal with those, either within XYplorer or Opera?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

Re item #2: I believe that what you're seeing is not really WE but a embedded/stripped down variant of that as used for Open/Save type functions and that's not available to be replaced AFAIK.

That may be true for 2a, but 2b is the real thing:

The most likely person to answer that may be user "Tamil" who hasn't been here for a few days but is very well known on the Opera forums via http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/ so maybe you can ask him there?

You can modify that menu item to open XYplorer but not possible show downloaded folder.

How/where modify the menu item?

Not clear what you mean by "Not possible to show download folder." I do know that if I go to the folder from the pop up's prompt, it opens WinExplorer, but then when I open the folder itself XYplorer opens.
