Having problem when opening photo in XYplorer.

[admin]

So I made one mistake, sorry but im not used to such constant testing and am trying to work a full time job.

• Right click context menu open (32bit) prompts constantly
  Right click context menu open (64bit) DOES open straight away. Saying it wasn't was incorrect, I just forgot it had worked yesterday when tested.

OK, thank you! That was clear.

Now back to my other question. Does this return anything with today's lastest beta version v21.10.0024?:

Code: Select all

text get("assoc","jpg");

You'll find the latest beta here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4&sd=d

Yes it returns an error:

Wow, that's unexpected. Thanks.

So that was a dead end. I will now try to teach XY64.exe to open files with associated apps.

Are you sure that this isn't the x86 app trying to access "C:\Program Files\..." (on 64-bit systems) items problem?
At least it sounds like one when the registered app for an extension is 64-bit and the 64-bit context menu can handle it, but the 32-bit one can not...

So what you are saying is that the program associated with the images, if 64bit may cause this issue (as xyplorer isn't 64bit for now at least)?

What you've described points into that direction, yeah

Since I cannot reproduce any of these problems on my 64-bit Win10 or Win8.1 there must be another factor.

PS: This PFA works nicely from XY:

Code: Select all

"Windows Photo Viewer 64-bit" {:Image}>::run """%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"" ""%ProgramW6432%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll"", ImageView_Fullscreen <curitem>";

[highend]

Mh, tried it myself (just a standard test)

- Fresh instance
- No 64-bit context menu as default
- Right clicked a .png - "Edit" entry
Worked fine, file was opened correctly

Now again with the 64-bit context menu
The "How do you want to open this file?" question pops up
I've set the checkmark for "Always use this app to open .png files and hit the OK button
Worked fine, file was opened correctly

The same again and it did work fine without the dialog...

In other words: Can't reproduce^^ (Windows Server 2019)

To me that (I mean the cases where it does not work) looks like a Win10 bug under certain conditions.

[arkid]

Anything else I can do to further troubleshoot this?

If it's a case that it would work if the program associated was 32bit anyone got any recommendations for a very fast simple image viewer thats 32bit? Pretty much anything on my system that is an image viewer is 64bit it seems.

It did seem to start quite randomly recently... maybe after a reboot for a windows update. Of course there's new windows updates all the time so it may be totally unrelated to that.

1. Please select an image file and run this thru the XY address bar:

Code: Select all

open64;

Does the file open?

2. XY itself is a good image viewer. Instead of opening the image simply press F11, or open the Preview Pane (Ctrl+F11) to see the preview right away.

Hi no that doesn't work. I get a script window with the error "'open64' is not a valid script command."
