Open in Explorer ?

Post by jacky »

hmm ok, so this has been hapenning to me with the last few betas (I honestly forgot to write down the first one it happened with :roll:; but I didn't beleive it at first... ;)

At one time, have no idea when/after what/anything, when I try to change the location of the current tab, either by clicking on a Catalog item, or using the Go to feature, the location is opened in.. Explorer :!:
I even tried, on Catalog, right-click and choose "Open (Click)" but it does that too: open it in Explorer.

If I try to open in a new tab, middle click on Catalog item, right-click and choose "Open in New Tab", does the same --> Explorer!

If I click on the tree on another folder, it will then be opened in XY (yay!) but in another tab, even though it has no reason to do so (tab ain't locked or anything). Then, things are back to normal: Catalog/Goto/Tree all changes the current tab location.

At first I thought I was crazy, or didn't do what I thought I did, but no it really happens, and I honestly don't know why it does/what triggers this.

hmm.. not sure what you mean.
- XY's file association, nope. I got some, but to have files opening with EditPadLite, nothing to do with Explorer. (plus, it's all extension)
- Windows f.a. Yes I have folders to open with XY (not Explorer! - as described in the wiki's FAQ) and that works fine.

And again, it's to use XY instead of Explorer! I got the opposite here, Explorer being opened from XY on what I thing is something that should never include Explorer, no matter what (ie. changing the current's tab location)

And why would Catalog/Goto trigger Explorer, and the Tree open a new tab, and then it would "fix" it ? I mean, I don't know what's going on, but I don't see how file associations would come into play here either :roll:

That's what I meant. Was just a quick idea before thinking harder. Now I did and could fix it. :)

PS: to reproduce it
- go to an URL via catalog, favs, goto, AB etc
- then select a path via catalog, favs, goto, AB etc

Is it fixed? (I forgot to add the fix to the history yesterday...)
