just found your tool Xyplorer and I like it but I also found some issues and would like to know how to fix / change them if possible.
1.) Drag & Drop function - The problem I have is that your tool Xyplorer seems to force itself in foreground when I do press the left mouse button and keep it holding down (WM_LBUTTONDOWN) what means that all other app windows going into the background right at that moment. I think this is a bug so I can't imagine that this is made on purpose or? Normally the Xyplorer should NOT bring itself in the foreground when the mouse keys functions (left / wheel / right) are pressed WITHOUT to release the button/s. Also in case when a button / wheel was pressed down (holding it) and then the drag (mousemove) is used then a self bring in front forcing action should not happen. You can try this out with Windows Explorer itself or any other similar tools so they do handle it correctly. Just wonder why you guys did not notice yet and fixed this. Would be nice if you could fix this wrong behavior in your next release because its really bugging me that I can not drag any selected file into any other outside app window (player or editor etc) which is in front and I just can drag it over the taskbar on the other app icon so this is really inconvenient.
2.) Selection function & using the mouse wheel at the same time - Also in this case I see a problem / bug when I try to select any file/s in Xyplorer (press left mouse down and hold it) and trying then to use the mouse wheel to scroll up or down, so right in that moment the selection gets abrogated. So this is also pretty bad because in Windows Explorer & other tools like "Everything by Voidtools" don't do that and keeping the selection on mouse wheel action so that the user can select files go on. All in all I think both operations are bugs or anyone of you Devs didn't notice it yet or whatever but both points should be fixed very soon because they are really annoying. I also tried to find any options in the configuration window about that in your tool but did not found any.
3.) Media Previews - So this is really a PITA in the Xyplorer tool and its not working for me in default state (I'am always using the portable version of Xyplorer) and just get the error info line to see "Playback failed: Automation error" for many extension file types. I tried to check the custom config to add manually some audio/video extensions and giving them the right CLSID value of my "Windows Media Player Rich Preview Handler". So in my case I created for testing this command...
Code: Select all

Thats all so far for the moment. So I hope you don't mind guys that I'am talking a little bit cleartext (Klartext). I like the Xyplorer tool but its still not perfect yet and needs some fixes / upgrades.
