XYplorer Beta Club
I can't remember if I said this before, but thumbnails are great now. XYplorer completely replaces Explorer for me now. However there are still some things I find weird:
1. When you right-click on an image (mouse down blow up), the image is not selected. This is unstandard behaviour for Windows, where usually whenever you click something (right OR left-click), it is selected.
2. When you do select something, the filename is not expanded onto the next line (to see what I mean, see what happens when you select an icon with a long name on your desktop (or in Explorer when viewing icons or thumnails).
3. Is there a shortcut for Full Screen view? I couldn't find it in the Help.

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.
When attaching an Image, please use the Attachment tab at the bottom of your post and click "Add files".

); I think it has its advantages (e.g. "look before you select").2. yes, I did not implement this. You know, I write all my controls myself, and I don't copy every bit of Explorer/Shell. When you select a file in XY, you can read the full name in the status bar-
3. No. But there's one to leave Full Screen view: ESC.

1. How is having to make a special effort not to click the image in order to select it a good thing? I think most users do not prefer this.
2. An expanded filename would be nicer.
3. Oh well, I'll have to divine how to do it with HoeKey. You wouldn't happen to know the message code to do it would you?
