Direct Folders

Direct folders isn't recognizing the XYPlorer pane as valid for a file explorer. I know this is XYPlorer's fault probably, but thought I'd ask if anyone else experienced this problem? Listary worked fine with XYplorer, but direct folders isn't registering middle click. I validated middle click in configuration of XYPlorer was turned off for any hotkey combination.

If I trigger it manually with it's own hotkey and click on a folder path it does navigate in XYPlorer, but it won't let me trigger the menu in XYPlorer, or recognize XYPlorer for syncing the open file dialogue. Any tips?

I've been using Direct Folders Pro for a long time. Right, the middle mouse button won't work in XYplorer and XYplorer ignores any modifer keys like Ctrl and Alt with the middle mouse button, so those additional options in Direct Folders can't be used either. There have been several requests for more comprehensive mouse configuration but it's still back-burner.

Not sure what you mean here by triggering the menu in XYplorer -- won't work via middle mouse button but does work via a Direct Folder hotkey. You might have to check that your hotkey is not already bound to something in XYplorer. I use the Shift-Alt-Z hotkey to bring up the Direct Folders menu when I'm in XYplorer, and in a few other rare places.

Not sure what you mean here. Can you elaborate?
