WSL broken in 24.00

[rhywun1]

Today I upgraded from 23.60 to 24.00 and WSL functionality is broken.

Steps to reproduce:

1. I have a shortcut in the catalog pointing to \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<me>
2. Click the shortcut
3. It navigates to \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home (NOT \home\<me> as expected)
4. Double-clicking <me> folder in the list does nothing
5. I can type an address in the address bar and it sometimes navigates (but only if I add \ to the address - but not reliably)

Briefly, the address bar sometimes works to navigate WSL but double-clicking folders in list view does not work at all - and there is a significant delay that was not present in 23.60.

FWIW, I noticed that the icon displayed for any WSL folder is now a question mark in a circle, which seems to indicate something invalid. Before the upgrade it was different, real icons, I think.

There were no changes to the WSL functionality. Might be a side-effect of something else. v23.60.0000 was released 2022-09-02 18:00, a LOT of things happened since.

Watch it, maybe you can narrow it down to a particular beta version. Each of them is available here in the forum.

a LOT of things happened since.

Yeah, I see that. Somehow "check for updates" got unchecked after 10 or 12 years and I didn't notice.

I don't think I have the patience to try all the in-between releases.

Is there an easy way to run a "clean" version without my customizations? Or do I have to move the settings out of AppData?

Download and install the Portable (No Install Package) version and place it in a directory that's different from your current installation.

Thanks for the tip.

I tried the portable version just now and it exhibits the same behavior. I noticed the tree (which I don't use) was open and it is fully functional, but the list view is not. Double-clicking items in the list view doesn't do anything. I normally navigate exclusively with shortcuts in the catalog and with the list view.

Did you try other methods of opening?

1) ENTER

2) context menu / Open

What is returned for your path when you run this?:

Code: Select all

exist "\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\Donald";

ENTER doesn't do anything.
Open from the context menu opens the directory in Windows File Explorer.
The script returns this:

Do you still have your old 23.60 ? Try the same with it and we might spot the difference.

You can download it here: https://www.xyplorer.com/freezer.php?ver=23.60.0100

Oh, I forgot to add that list view navigation through WSL folders works as expected in the fresh installation of 23.60.

That is, double-clicking or hitting ENTER on the folder in the list view navigates into that folder.

[admin]

That helped: The only difference is the line GetItemType: 18. That was all I needed to know. Should be fixed in next beta.

It appears that you don't have a "Links" or "OneDrive" folder on your system, or that XY was not able to find it.

Great, thanks.
