Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v26.60.0308 - 2024-11-20 11:39
+ Custom File Icons | Content-Based Folder Icons: Added option "Check Sleeping Drives
for Content-Based Folder Icons" (default: OFF; previously hard-coded to ON). Tick it
to also check folders on sleeping drives for content-based folder icons (Access
Denied, Empty Folder, Filled Folder, Empty Branch). This will normally wake these
drives (what actually happens depends on the state of the Windows file I/O cache).
The setting can be found in the context menu of the Custom File Icons toolbar button
and in the mini toolbar in the "Tools | List Management | Custom File Icons..."
dialog.
> So, by factory default and for upgraders: Content-based folder icons are now not
fetched for sleeping drives, and therefore do not wake these drives.

To easily
upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the
CTRL key while you click
Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to
download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1)
Installer Package, (2)
No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and may contain new bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA. This will also help to fix any new bugs.
