XYplorer Beta Club

On your old xyplorer, enter this in the addressbar: ::text toolbar();
Copy the text. On your new XY, type ::toolbar("copied text here, inside the quotes");
Toolbar setting is also available in the ini (obvsly). Search for toolbar=

Did you copy over CC, UDC etc already? Help's here.

Thanks. Except for toolbars, everything is pretty straightforward.
Where do you get this from - this "::text toolbar()" thing? It's not that I wouldn't have searched ....

Anyway, pasting my old stuff into the new version makes it crash interesting - guess I touched a nerve here

What do mean by "also"? Maybe that's what causing my trouble - some important component missing in my data folder?
Meanwhile I am hammering away ... with WinMerge ... chipping off pieces from ini to ini

toolbar() is actually a documented scripting function. but no woe-ries, there are a lot many of them, you keep finding new ones everyday...
And by also, I meant the toolbar settings are obviously (also) saved in the XYplorer.ini file, under the section [General].

I don't think toolbar buttons can crash XY! The only things that come to mind which might cause trouble with folders is fvs.dat and the panes folder . Try renaming these two items [renaming "panes" will muck up the column layout...] and restart XY without saving.
Sorry for the confusion . Reverted strikeout and file upload. Just check that the problem is solved when you do ^that.

Again, what do you mean by "also"? Sorry, I am just not getting it. So we have the ini - and what else? Do those other storage locations complement the ini or do they simply mirror it?

The [General] section in my ini only contains a rather "meaningless" sequence of generic button names - there must be some other resource that's missing in my data folder.

Yeah, I know, it doesn't seem to make sense. And yet that's what happening.

I was talking about the toolbar button options, nothing else. i first showed you a script, then implied the same thing can be manually done by editing the ini. The confusing "also" stands for nothing else.

SammaySarkar wrote:the same thing can be manually done by editing the ini.

OK - so it's the same thing - the script simply reads it in from the ini - got it - it's a verbatim excerpt from the ini - the only storage place there is for TB-buttons?
In other words, there is nothing missing in my data folder in terms of TB settings?

Nope, nothing that can't be set via "customize toolbar"

Thank you Sammay,
but there's got to be another place for it - need to do more research ...

Oh, I think you're looking for ctb scripts. They're in the ini, section [CustomButtons]. Copy-paste, done.

Thanks - these lines look much more like it - they contain my actual toolbar settings - right captions, right icons ...

Copy-paste, done - easier said than done. First you have to figure it all out - what goes where and what sections you need to copy over (they're 1500 lines apart in my ini ). If one is missing, it will crash my XY

Big thanks, though. I need to quit for today - lacking the stamina for running the whole length of the ini marathon.

OK - recycle bin is back again.
Definetely my fault - must have done s.th. stupid, though I really cannot pinpoint what exactly it was. Glad to have it back, because handling the RB within XY is really quite something.

Glad to hear it's better now!
Hope the original issue of installers crashing xy goes away too.
