New uer

Post by gatorbait »

I am new to this program and just downloaded and installed the full version. Is there a way to default to XYplorer when saving instead of WE? I hope so!
Thanks!
Joe

Hi and welcome to the world of XY!

While I'm not sure if your question was stated correctly, but I believe that your answer may possibly be in the wiki, so have you looked there?
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

xyplorer in lieu of the windows save dialog

Post by gatorbait »

I suppose what I meant was, is there a way to make xylplorer the default file manager instead of the windows save dialog. I open a file in xyplorer, but when I save, the windows save window pops up.

I am a graphics person and use the Adobe Premium Suite. Adobe has a better save and open dialog box, but you have to enable their file handling database, Version Cue to use it. Version Cue does not fit my workflow, so I am trying to avoid using the cumbersome and time consuming windows save and open procedure.

The Adobe file manager interface works similarly to xyplorer.
TNX,
Joe

You mean something like "Save As..."? If you simply want to make a copy of a file under a new name you can do that by pressing Ctrl+S on the selected file. Or Ctrl+D to make a copy with a suffixed number.

If you mean the dialog from "saving as" inside your graphics app: no, this would need to change the registry, and XYplorer does not touch the registry at all.

Thanks. That is what I wanted to know. And I suppose, I suspected as much.I appreciate your information.
