Hi,
Right Click and you get the option of the "New" menu, which can create folders, files etc....
I'd like to customise this menu.
I never use - New Folder "yyyymmdd"
but would love to have an option for say - New Folder "Month Name yyyy"
or even dd-mm-yyyy
Can this be done ??

Yes, by tweaking the INI file (
Tools | Open Configuration File...). Look up this section and alter the values to your liking:
Code: Select all
[NewTemplates]
; Tweak: 3 templates for New Folder default names
Version=1
Folder0=\N\e\w \F\o\l\d\e\r
Folder1=yyyymmdd
Folder2=yyyy-mm-dd
; Tweak: 3 templates for New File default names
File0=\N\e\w \T\e\x\t \F\i\l\e
File1=yyyymmdd
File2=yyyy-mm-dd
NewFolderTemplateIndex=4
When done restart XYplorer
without saving else your edits will be overwritten:
File | Restart without Saving

Brilliant - worked like a charm
I changed my section to...
Code: Select all
[NewTemplates]
; Tweak: 3 templates for New Folder default names
Version=1
Folder0=\N\e\w \F\o\l\d\e\r
Folder1=dd-mm-yyyy
Folder2=mmmm yyyy
; Tweak: 3 templates for New File default names
File0=\N\e\w \T\e\x\t \F\i\l\e
File1=dd-mm-yyyy
File2=d mmmm yyyy
NewFolderTemplateIndex=0

Cool! A late tip:
You can play with scripting command
formatdate to see what works and how:
Code: Select all
echo formatdate(, "ddd-dd-mmm-yyyy");
ddd = weekday
mmm= month name

Nope, these are usually spammers that are quickly removed.
