Context menu shows XYplorer window, but doesn't open folder

Post by alexey_r »

If I use the context menu item added by "Shell integration" configuration option, it activates the XYplorer window, but doesn't open the folder I used it on. Same for double-clicking a folder with "XYplorer is default file manager" checked. Changes were made with administrator rights. This happened both in 11.60 and 11.70.0100.

Ok rereading the OP I realize my problem is different. If XYPlorer isn't open, double clicking on a folder or going to xyplorer on the context menu does open the folder, but if XYPlorer isn't open nothing happens except the current window looses focus.

Here's a screencast to illustrate the problem.

Two times "isn't" in your sentence. Please rephrase.

I'm sorry.

I meant if XYPlorer IS open, double clicking on a folder or going to xyplorer on the context menu does open the folder in XYPlorer, but if XYPlorer isn't open nothing happens except the current window looses focus.

Please right-click the items you want to open and ensure that "XYplorer" is listed in the context menu.

Ok, strangely enough, the program seems to have started working correctly of its own accord. Will keep you updated if I encounter any further problems.

Another case of mystical self-healing within a few days! I should advertise the app as auto-debugging.
