XYplorer Beta Club
Never really cared for the If...Then...Else construction.
Concatenating this thread is it preferable to change startup.ini to C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\ and put XYplorer.ini there?
"Go to Application Data folder" doesn't

1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once.

Yes, it's preferable to what you have now.aurumdigitus wrote:Never really cared for the If...Then...Else construction.
Concatenating this thread is it preferable to change startup.ini to C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\ and put XYplorer.ini there?
So what you do now is:
1) you open XYplorer
2) you move these items (the first four are folders) from C:\Program Files\XYplorer\ to C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\:
FindTemplates
NewItems
Panes
Scripts
catalog.dat
fvs.dat
ks.dat
lastini.dat
tag.dat
udc.dat
XYplorer.ini
Overwrite anything in C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Data\ if prompted.
3) Then you edit C:\Program Files\XYplorer\Startup.ini like this (sic: empty value):
Code: Select all
[Appdata]
Path=
5) Restart XYplorer.
That should be it.

Re: "Go to Application Data folder" doesn't
What about action.dat and CatalogDefault.dat? What are the proper places for these? Just wanted to get it documented here...admin wrote:That should be it.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Seems pretty heavy duty but will try in attempt to preclude future difficulties - knock on Formica.admin wrote:Yes, it's preferable to what you have now.
How did installation get tangled up? (Hypothesis: at some point switched between Install and Portable upgrade packages.)

Whoops, yes action.dat too. CatalogDefault.dat no, it stays in app path (it is never modified).j_c_hallgren wrote:What about action.dat and CatalogDefault.dat? What are the proper places for these? Just wanted to get it documented here...admin wrote:That should be it.

"Go to Application Data folder" doesn't - following Don's instructions on altering application folder structure IT DOE'S NOW.
BTW - Had to use Configuration|Thumbnails to alter that path after changes.

Oh yes, good find. This path should have been defined in a softer way by factory default. Fixed in next version.aurumdigitus wrote:"Go to Application Data folder" doesn't - following Don's instructions on altering application folder structure IT DOE'S NOW.
