Ralph, have you seen this thread which appears related to this issue? http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=1556
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Code: Select all

 v6.00.0019 - 28.05.07 09:42 
    + Added new command line switch to control the window state on start 
      up: 
        /win=min      -> start minimized 
        /win=max      -> start maximized 
        /win=normal   -> start normal 
Apparently by introducing this new switch you also changed the default state to normal.
Is there an INI-tweak to return the default to max'd? (like winstate=xx)
It was just a bug. Fix comes next.

Finally, deleting the XYplorer.ini file and restarting from scratch with only the "minimize to tray" option works.
I will see later if the problem reocur as I will set it up as I did before ...

On my computer, if I check the option "Show folder sizes in file list", the problem occurs 100% of the time...
When unchecked it disappears...

Hmmm cannot reproduce this too.

But I have a different problem than you have. I use BBlean shell instead of windows shell and the moment I check or uncheck the "Show folder sizes in file list" option the BBlean skin breaks and I see XP skin for my XYplorer app alone (other apps show BBlean skin). I know XY hasnt been tested on other shells and it doesnt care about what shell I use, but I thought I will report this anyway.
Maybe there is something fishy about "Show folder sizes in file list" option. Atleast for you and me.

Sorry, actually after checking/unchecking and then minimizing and restoring. I tried this again now and same result, skin breaks after restoring from minimized state.

OK.

1. I check "Show folder sizes ..." option and then minimize XY and restore. After restore skin breaks and skin remains in XY style until I restart XY.

2. Same happens when I uncheck that option and minimize and restore.

OK, found another thing, you dont have to minimize and restore. after check/uncheck, click OK and open config again and skin breaks.

Note: I am talking about BBLean skin here, not windows skin.

Are you saying you minimize or open config WHILE getting folder sizes is still going on?
