Clickable breadcrumbs.

It's not meant as an actual setting. The font size for the BCs are still controlled by the Main Content Fonts in the configuration. All this tweak does is set the minimum for the BC. So basically if your Main Content Fonts is set to 8 but the minimum BCs tweak is set to 9.00 (9000), then the BC's font would still be at 9. Now if you change the minimum to 5, then the BC's font will now be at 8 since it's more than the minimum.

Duh! Well..in that case, how about having it as actual font size? Since, in my case, my normal font is a bit larger than 9.75 but I think I'd like to have BC in a smaller size...

Addendum/Update: Checked my Main Contents font and see that the "Apply to BC" checkbox is NOT ticked so what happens in that case?

I was thinking about that too. Perhaps we should really have a dedicated font size (and font style) configuration for the breadcrumbs?

Overkill. Easy, dudes, step by step...

Lol ok. Let's keep it as a tweak then

Overkill being fully configureable, right? But as I asked above:

Checked my Main Contents font and see that the "Apply to BC" checkbox is NOT ticked so what happens in that case?

What font/size gets used for the items without checks in that situation?

Right now, I have Verdana 10.19 as type/size for Main Contents...but that's a bit too big for BC, I think...but not having a way to make just BC smaller, I can't know for 100% sure.

+1 Same here. (Just to note this as a supported wish for some unspecified future.)

OK.

[j_c_hallgren]

OK.

Thanks for considering this! I'd like to get same size as used in the main XY title bar (blue one at screen top) but not sure what controls that size to find out how big it is...The path shown there is about the right size to be easily seen but not too big and on BC with the triangles added, will look like it matches that thusly.

2. When "Show downward paths" is enabled, stale paths (those not existing anymore) are still shown. Since XY does already know that those paths are non-existent, I think it would be better if they weren't shown in the breadcrumbs bar.

Yes, I have noticed this one too and it is definitely not good. Namely, when using XYplorer in a portable way, than BC can show a path that does not exist on a machine B (but exists on a previously used machine A).

When the location lenth is large, it crops the leading address and downward locations remain intact. I think leading location should be given preference since even if we move up a location, the upward locations remain cropped.

Folder names should be elipsed. A long folder name eats up the whole breadcrumb. I think a folder can be elipsed after 15 chars.

Also, a right click on the icon in BC can pop up the traditional XY vertical breadcrumbs

1. When using the breadcrumbs to go forward one step or backwards one step, "Select last used subfolder" is not working. Currently, selections are lost.

Yes, but is this desirable? Note that the list will be scrolled to view the selected item. Doesn't the very breadcrumb make this superfluous?

Good ideas. Update coming. Worked the whole day like mad on the high-menu problem. I'm at plan F or so in the meantime. Very tricky. ...
