PPTP (or MTP)

[BobbyBertrand]

My cell phone (Android Galaxy S8+) uses the latest version of Android 7.0 which does not allow Mass Storage mounting - only PPTP and MTP protocols are supported, which means that it shows up in File Explorer, but not in XYPLORER. Is there a way to get the device's files and folders to display and if not, is this a big enhancement request?

I don't know why Android no longer supports the Mass Storage Protocol - anyone? And if XYPLORER can't currently do this, is it worthy of consideration?

See if it helps to restart XYplorer after attaching device to pc.

[BobbyBertrand]

No - and I'm on W10 64 bit if that is of concern.

Anyone? Samsung Galaxy S8+ when plugged in is recognized by MS Explorer but not by XYPlorer.

That's a known issue with the Creators Update. It's on my list.

Has this been addressed yet? If not, any idea of when it might be?

[admin]

Working on it. Can't give a date.

On Windows 7 (32bit) .
Drag-drop from a MTP list seems to work, but XYplorer crashes immediately after mouse button is released. (Nothing is transferred either.)

- Is that a left or a right mouse drop?
- Is this ticked? Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Use standard shell drag and drop

[bdeshi]

• Left-button drag.

  - Is this ticked? Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Use standard shell drag and drop

  It is now. Now I get a memory read error.

  Code: Select all

  XYplorer.exe - Application Error
  ---------------------------
  The instruction at 0x77d85585 referenced memory at 0x00000024. The memory could not be read.
  
  Click on OK to terminate the program.

• Right-button drag:
  shows a context menu. Choosing Copy Here/Move Here has the opposite effect of left-click-drag: crashes right away if Use standard shell drag and drop is checked, and memory read error otherwise.
  Shell Context Menu items work properly. (Well, because they're shell-provided, obviously.)

Ugh.

Have mercy with me, but did you already reboot Windows? Looks like one of those Windows hickups...

[bdeshi]

but did you already reboot Windows?

Yes. (As well as reattaching the device). But not after toggling Use standard shell drag and drop. Restarting now...

[bdeshi]

Restarted. No change. Same behavior.

[admin]

Thanks.

Anybody else on Win 7 using MTP?

[RRbitwise]

Yes, I've tried to get XYplorer to work (and not crash) with
Windows 7. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a dual Xeon
E5620 machine with 64GB of ECC memory. I get the same bad
results as others have reported in this thread.

XYplorer also fails on Win 10 (Pro, 64-bit, all versions up to
and including 1703).

As an FYI, in 2015 I posted this defect as a bug.
