Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version (32-bit):
Code: Select all
v27.20.0301 - 2025-11-12 18:00
! Opening Overlong Items: Did not work reliably even with "Configuration | General |
Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Support overlong filenames" enabled. Fixed.
! Deleting Overlong Items: Turns out that the shell cannot deal with a 255-character
path in the drive root although this length should be totally legal according to the
docs. If such a beast somehow ends up in the Recycle Bin, which is possible in
Win8.1 but not in Win11, then the attempt to restore it will crash XYplorer and File
Explorer without mercy or questions. Actually it seems that the max length the shell
can handle for root paths is only X:\+245 characters.
Fixed. Now XYplorer will prompt you to permanently delete such an item. It won't end
up in the recycler.

To easily
upgrade to this BETA version of XYplorer (32-bit), hold down the
CTRL key and 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.
