Hell, I would have donated $100 for that one especially if the SC could be accomplished in the background.highend wrote:Ken, interested in putting together a bit of money (let's say: 2 cent) and buy the "createthumbnails()" script command?
I don't use the other "show" this and that folders, but I do like having the links folder.

Maybe I need to write something for this (ofc in a different language)...Hell, I would have donated $100 for that one especially if the SC could be accomplished in the background.

It does so ever since, behaving like very other tree node. But in this case I think I will add an exception. Users might get a heart-attack from that empty Tree...yusef88 wrote:why double click on this PC hides tree elements? this will reset the tree but hiding elements for any purpose?

The update to Thumbnail Maintenance script I'm working on now is doing everything in the background (2nd instance of XY in the tray) unless the user forces it to run in the foreground by holding down the CTRL key when he clicks.

I decided to do only the first two points.admin wrote:1) I admit I was surprised to see that this menu does not honor the settings in Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List. I think items that are turned OFF here should also disappear from that menu, right?
2) There are a couple of menus in XY that feature those virtual folders and the drives. If we add a new option here, it should apply to all those places, right?
3) Should it even apply to the Tree??? Probably...
4) So there would be an option "Show physical drives above virtual folders" or so..., okay?
The sequence (special folders first, drives second) is too hard-wired; it's not worth the effort.

@Don: This isn't a new thing, I had noticed it in earlier versions but I thought I would bring it up now since it is related, in the top left of the tree at the very start of the tree path trace there is a tiny area that you can right click to bring up a context menu, in that menu it has special folders, but if those special folders are disabled in the list via config then they don't function, I doubt many people use this menu though anyway but thought you might still want to know.

@don -- You said that in ver 19,you will move those drives to appear at top position,did you forgot to add this feature ?
Re: Move drives to appear at top position...

Apart from "Computer" they are on the top (if all the "show special folder" stuff is disabled in the config)?

You now need to apply a tweak to get the new behavior, if you haven't already:
for instructions on how to tweak:
https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak
Code: Select all
* The following change from v18.90.0111 - 2018-04-26 17:43 is now bound to a
tweak (because now I think it was too radical to be applied just like that):
Drives Menus: Various menus that show drives and special folders (Links,
Desktop...) now honor the settings in Configuration | Tree and List |
Items in Tree and List. Only the special folders that are ticked here are
also shown in those menus (e.g. in the Breadcrumb Bar dropdown menu).
Now you have to set this new tweak to get the above behavior:

If you had read that release notes excerpt I supplied above you would notice that whatever you don't want to display in that list needs to be disabled via:
Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List
With that tweak applied properly and items un-ticked from above config setting, this is the result you can achieve:
That is as high as the drives are going to get.
