Breadcrumb bold bugs

[zer0]

After some playing around (beta 108), I think I found a few bugs related to whether and how bold breadcrumbs are displayed.

RC/LC - right-click/left-click.

1. Bold folders are not displayed immediately.

a) RC a triangle icon that, if LC-ed, would show subfolders of a drive. Mark it as bold.
b) LC the same triangle > folders are not displayed in bold.
c) LC the root triangle (the one to the right of the drive icon) > folders are not displayed in bold.
d) LC the initial triangle > folders are not shown in bold.

The key pre-requisite to solve this one seems to be displaying the root list.

2. Undoing boldness is not immediate (resuming from "d)" above).

a) RC the initial triangle, clear the bold check.
b) LC the same triangle > folders are still in bold.
c) In this situation, unlike in scenario 1, LC-ing the root triangle in the current tab doesn't trigger a success. Swap to a different tab.
d) Notice how, if you LC a non-root triangle, the folders are still shown in bold (even though drive letter is not). This is another bug whereby "bold clearing" does not transcend tabs.
e) LC the root triangle > folders are not shown in bold.
f) LC another triangle in the same tab to check whether it worked > it did.
g) Go back to your original tab and LC the initial, non-root triangle > folders are once again shown in non-bold manner.

The key pre-requisite to solve this one seems to be displaying the root list in a different tab.

Happy fixing Don

As a quick addition to this, applying font sizes to breadcrumbs via Configuration > Fonts also does not appear to work?

You can tweak this line in the <xydata>\XYplorer.ini:

Code: Select all

CrumbFontMilliSize=6750

(font size * 1000) in order to define the font size for BC.

Borut,

Thanks mate, that appears to have done the job.

Cheers

Oops, yes, a bug, thanks!

Well, my question is: what is the designed purpose of checking "Bold" in right-click context menu? Before, I could bold both the BC path and all non-root folders in the dropdown. Now, it only makes the path bold and the current folder. Without knowing how it is supposed to work, I can't say whether what I am experiencing is a bug or not.

I don't really understand what you mean. You got a screenshot?

Sure, see below. Previously (beta 114), when I checked "Bold" from the context menu, not only did the breadcrumb bar become bold, but also the folders listed in the drop-down. However, undoing the folders being bold wasn't as easy as unchecking "Bold". Now, in beta 126, only the breadcrumb bar becomes bold and not the folders. So, I would like to know if folders being bold was a bug that has been squashed or that is how it is supposed to be and the current behaviour is a bug?

Only one folder should be bold: the one that's part of the downward path. If there is no downward path, then no folder should be bold.

My base font is Segoe UI Semibold (Win7), so the bold cannot be seen in the menu. May I ask for a color instead? Or any other visual clue?

[admin]

You don't see bold because your locale needed the "Hong Kong Traditional Bug" fix. Part of this fix is that bold cannot be shown in the menu. Not that important anyway, because the bold item is identical to the next item in the downward path.

Fair enough. So what was a bug is now gone. Onwards and upwards.
