configure XYexplorer to always open the same 10 folders?
Posted: 26 Jul 2017 19:54
I'm a newbie and a new believer in XY !! I'll be paying customer after trial.
I plan on bragging about XY to my friends in IT. I've over 30 years experience as programmer!
I just found answers in this forum to almost all of my own questions!!
Here are my questions and answers.
1) In XYexplorer, I had 10 tabs (with folders such as c:\temp) opened. My laptop crashed. After reboot XYexplorer does not show the 10 folders I had last opened. How can I get it to open the last 10 tabs that are opened? Also, how can I configure XYexplorer to always open the same 10 folders?
I did not get answer to this yet. workaround are these:
Best practice for backing it up:
type in
<xydata>
XY jumps to
C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer
backup the autobackup folder
Menu > Go> hotlist / favorite folders will show up
2) In a folder in XY, I want to right-mouse-click and create a new Word document. XY menu only gives me a choice to create new text doc. How can I update that menu to include New Word doc?

3) I use dual monitors. How do I switch Font size and UI ? Sometimes it is too small or too large depending on which monitor it show up on. It was showing perfect on 2nd monitor. After I unplug my laptop, the fonts became so small I can’t read it in my laptop’s monitor
One way is Ctrl+Mouse-Wheel. Also experiment with Shift+Ctrl+Mouse-Wheel.
4) In XY I sometimes want to quickly open the same folder in Windows Explorer. How do I open folder in XYexplorer using windows explorer?
Click on folder, then menu> File> Open With
5) Is there a good youtube Video that will introduce me to most useful functions / features of XY explorer?

6) How to use Teracopy:
Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | External Copy Handlers | Configure...
+
Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | External Copy Handlers | Select copy handler
i have added the following line in win 7 64 bit
TeraCopy|C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/Close /open_window
TeraCopy| C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe |/Close /open_window
and configured the copy handler in dropdown as teracopy and it is perfectly working.
thanks for adding this feature.
Beware: Using 3rd party copier has many limitation (from Help file):
- No Rich Copy. In a Rich Copy situation Custom Copy will be automatically used instead of the External Copy Handler. Reason: You cannot state multiple destinations (one individual destination for each source file) in the External Copy Handler.
- No undo/redo.
- No background processing via XYcopy ( the External Copy Handler is another process anyway), and hence no queueing.
- Any tags will not be copied or moved along.
Thanks in advance
