+++ BREAKING NEWS: XYplorer goes twinBASIC +++

[kinook]

Very excited to try this out (I haven't used XY since 2018 because it was 32-bit only). Running on Windows 11, it starts up for me.

I noticed the buttons are missing on the Configuration dialog, and changes do not persist. Also, the key mnemonics do not work.

1) missing buttons: show the return of Help | Various Information

2) key mnemonics: indeed!

Always try the latest one: 27.00.0706
Each new release has countless fixes.

[admin]

Probably cosmetic issue. Server name and shared folder name is missing in TB version (letf is VBA, right is TB)

Should be fixed in next release.

Error in Floating preview

This happens for every preview type, regardless if it's the preview pane, floating preview, preview tab in the info panel...

The error happens immediately, and with .doc, .docx, xls, xlsx, pdf, maybe others but I don't have it with e.g. a .pptx (PowerPoint) document
For Office documents in most cases the text extraction (no format, no pictures) is still displayed but sometimes XYTB dies afterwards (and silently).
.pdf files show that error as well but then display the normal formatted preview content

 Addendum: 708 doesn't fix anything in that regard, same error on the same files

No issue with jpgs.

[admin]

I assume that's an animated GIF?

[klownboy]

Yes Don, it was an annimated gif which you already knew does not work on MDBU either.

New version of XYplorer (64-bit) compiled with twinBASIC BETA 805:

XYplorerTB.exe, v27.00.0710, NOT digitally signed, zipped

Code: Select all

    > Crashes after closing the Floating Preview (F11). Can't fix it because it only happens 
      in the compiled version. :\
    > From now on, the INI file written by XYTB slightly differs from the one written by XYVB. 
      Certain keys concerning 64-bit support are not needed anymore and are not written to (or 
      read from) the INI file. This means you should better use a separate app data folder for 
      XYTB now.
    ! Various fixes.

There will be glitches, there will be bugs. Work in progress.
