Wipe now simply sends documents to Recycle Bin Folder.

Just downloaded and installed 10.30.0006 newest edition and customized my toolbar to show the Nuke button. Selected a file and hit the nuke button. Instead of "wiping" the file it simply asks if I want to send the file to the Recycle Bin?!

Windows 7 64bit Service Pack 1.

Right-clicking the Nuke button reveals several options. Please note that Nuke and Wipe are different functions.

Did another test. This time I correctly chose "wipe" from the right click option on the Nuke button and retried the same operation on that one file. This time I get "Run type error 13: Type mismatch" Immediately after clicking on the okay button for the error...XYplorer immediately shuts down.

Do you mean the error reported here, which in your case is followed by run type error 13?

Yes. The same one.

Don is already chasing that one; the Run type error 13 is new to me. Could you list the exact steps to reproduce when you get error 13, and also your Nuke settings?

It's very simple:

1. I put the Nuke icon on the toolbar.
2. I right click the icon and select the wipe option *only*.
3. I then select a file I want to "wipe".
4. I hit the Nuke button.
5. I get dialog box saying file is going to be wiped with no chance of recovery.
5. I click the okay in the dialog box.
6. I immediately get the "type error 13: file mismatch" window.
7. I click on the okay button on that error message.
8. XYplorer immediately shuts down.

Following your steps exactly, I get a different error after step 5 as described in that other thread, and not the type error 13 one.

What are your Windows settings for the date and number formats in Region and Language? (Mine are set to Dutch (Netherlands).)

Setting my format to English (United States) and restarting XYplorer didn't change anything for me. I'm sure Don will take a look tomorrow.

Until this issue is fixed..."nuke" simply doesn't work, period.

Strictly speaking, Nuke is broader than Wipe. Still, Wipe indeed doesn't seem to agree with Windows 7 x64 at the moment.

I hope it's not related to the fact Xyplorer is still a 32 bit application. Because that could be why it's not working. If that's the case here...then wipe will need to be pulled until a 64 bit version is released. Because I have Directory Opus 9 64 bit edition and the wipe feature works flawlessly.

Probably not: the 32-bit version of xplorer2's Shred function does work correctly on 64-bit Windows.

I think the error was caused by a wrong (for that locale) date format. Next version should fix this.
