Reset Name Collision Custom Copy window position?

[acicovic]

Hello there,

Is there a way to bring the Name Collision Custom Copy window into its default position? (I can easily change ini files by hand).

I moved Xyplorer to another system, and it seems to me that the Name Collision dialog appears outside of the screen. I cannot handle it by any keystrokes because it doesn't seem to accept them, and the taskbar buttons bring on front the XYcopy dialog which is frozen due to the Name Collision dialog being over it.

Thanks!

Code: Select all

KIPLeft=0
KIPTop=0
KIPWidth=0
KIPHeight=0

in the General section

Hey there,

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately the collision dialog still is outside of the viewport.

And you did edit these settings while XYplorer was NOT running?

[acicovic]

yes

Start XY, open the XYplorer.ini file, show a screenshot of this part of the section...

I solved it by resetting all top/left values to 0 in the following section:

RPLeft=0
RPTop=0
RPWidth=811
RPHeight=400
LMLeft=0
LMTop=0
LMWidth=690
LMHeight=403
LMIndexPrev=14
ALLeft=0
ALTop=0
ALWidth=700
ALHeight=569
CCWidth=0
CCHeight=0
SVLeft=0
SVTop=0
SVWidth=800
SVHeight=400
BJDLeft=0
BJDTop=0
BJDWidth=600
BJDHeight=500
PDLeft=0
PDTop=317
ProgressOffset=0
KIPLeft=-5186
KIPTop=407
KIPWidth=750
KIPHeight=461

Seeing from the result, perhaps the culprit was PDTop but didn't test further.

KIPLeft was the culprit and you didn't edit these values while XY was not running in the first place...

Hi,

I did so without XY running, at least 2 times. Being a developer I'm pretty familiar with the idea of not editing files while the software is running.

I have a 3 monitor setup and this is why you see this KIPLeft value, which is the updated/desired value (I have the XYplorer window on the leftmost monitor, with the rightmost monitor being my primary one.

Thanks for pointing me towards the right direction, it really helped.

Create a fresh instance
Activate [x] Use Custom copy
Drag and drop over an existing file, get the Name Collision window
Skip it, save settings
Make a copy of your XYplorer.ini file
Do the drag and drop again, move the window now, skip it and save settings again
Compare the XYplorer.ini and the copy of it...

Hi,

I'm not getting the point of your "*sigh*" which was later removed. If you want to continue to be arrogant then please don't help me next time. And what if you were wrong in your absolute certainty? Perhaps you don't know my setup or something unexpected was wrong.

I'm not questioning the fact that the window movement changes these values. However I won't question what worked for me, simply because it did. And I won't question that I tried the initial solution 2 times with XY closed, simply because I did.

Afterwards, each one is entitled to their opinion and vision about what really happened. If you want to believe that I did this with XY open, this is your right and you're entitled to it. But trying to prove that I'm an idiot or that I'm wrong is just plainly disrespectful.

Anyway, all this isn't really adding anything of value to the thread and I'm sure both of us have better things to do, so I'll stop here.
