XYplorer Beta Club

I regret to say that the problem with shortcuts (.LNK) is back. In XY v .0131, strangely, this again doesn't work. They fail to load.

When I copy a shorcut file to XYplorer, the Chrome's Target will change from "C:\Program Files \Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", but other applications' shortcuts are normal.

Which shortcuts? Where?

Don't worry about it. It's "smartness" built into Windows. Just ignore it.

Shortcuts to .bms files properly configured to run its EXE in the XY's Customize File Associations. It's the original problem I wrote about. Everything worked OK up to version .0110. Starting with v .0111 they failed working and later version .0123 again restored their full functionality. But now starting with v .0131 they do not load the EXE again, including the latest v .0132.

Ok, select the shortcut, open Info Panel | Meta and show a screenshot of the complete XYplorer window.

Enclosed.

This shortcut runs again without any problems in Windows Explorer, but fails to run in XYplorer. Just its button on the taskbar flashes once.

Are you aware that your response (viewtopic.php?p=214556#p214556) was completely useless because you disregarded everything I told you to do?

Sorry, I did not understand this metadata issue, I thought that it's basically about properties. Here it is:

Wrong again. Let me just repeat:

OK, I hopefully got it right this time...:

So double-clicking on this LNK worked with .0123 (file opened with Backup Magic) and since .0131 it does not work (what happens instead?)?

Please try again to make sure this statement is true.

Nothing happens, just the XY's button flashes once on the taskbar.
And yes, double-clicking on this LNK worked with .0123 (file opened with Backup Magic) and duly executed its backup script.
And this shortcut still works (and always worked) OK when run from Windows Explorer.
