I don't recall doing that - are you sure it was me?

That's the only thing close in my attachment list.

However, that was only for Win 7 Pro SP 1 x64 - it's the same machine but it went through a fresh install late last year.

Curiously enough comparing the list I just posted and that one reveals that now 287-290 are "[reserved]" changing the IDs for the last 6 items. Not sure if that signifies a difference in how XY generates the list or something that changed on my system. :?

EDIT: There's also the variety of scripts over here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7423
But they were really for enumerating the properties of specific files - not all that the system knows.

1. Fixed

2. Still exists. Wiht show thumbnails off, it basically ignores the tile sizes and continues to draw the icons at a set size. I tried the values 256, 512 and even 1 and 2.

Yes, probably. So my memory was too optimistic. I know for sure that I had compiled such a file myself but it's also mysteriously lost... :| I also had a web link to such a list but the link is dead now. Conspiracy... :ninja:

Hi Don,

the new Tiles are a phantastic evolution! :appl:

As for ....

I hope you're using Win8's FileHistory! It's the easiest working versioning/backup solution I've ever set up (of course, I do have a 1:1 copy ....). Just checked: currently I have 414 backups of XY's data folder. :whistle: :biggrin:


Now :ball:

Hi Don,

could it be that introducing larger tiles made the "MyPC"-location significantly less compact and the Vol Serial meta info go away?

nope, the "expanded" look is gone with a fresh instance. Hence, it must be a simple setting I've overlooked or forgotten.

Got it. It's even two things:
a) Configuration | Thumbnails | Show thumbnails in tiles views
b) Show Photo Data

Both are of course nonsense in drives view. I'll check if I can handle this...

Thanks for reverting the previous normal spacing. :D :D

Did you expect Vol Serials co-return with 14.60.0212 (it isn't over here)?
