XYplorer Beta Club

Probably a "stupid" question. When I select files from a list and move them to another folder, the file immediately below the ones that were moved receive the focus and automatically opens as if it were clicked.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Additionally, I would like to turn off the feature that opens a file when clicked in the List view. I have a habit of clicking files in the list view to select them for copy/del/move, etc. which results in unintended opening o f the files. I have read Help, and looked at all the options in configuration and did not find a way to deactive one-click open of files in the List View.

Thanks for any help/clues, etc.....

Hi!

Hmm, if this would be a feature, XYplorer would probably not be a successful file manager... ... but is it a bug? I certainly cannot reproduce what you describe.

Again I can assure you: there is no one-click open in XYplorer!

This behavior almost sounds like how Win Expl can be set to do via Tools>Folder Opts>General: Click items....but that doesn't apply to XY, right?

Addendum: When saying that a click opens the files, I'm presuming that original poster isn't referring to the "open" that occurs in Info Panel to preview file...

But there is! It's right there in the catalog Open Item option.

On a serious note I can't reproduce this either.

Thanks for all the quick responses

Thank the gods, it was not a feature!

I uninstalled, then reinstalled, and all is well......
