I have an entry in my favorite folders that is defined by an environment var:
"Icons|C:\Data\Icons\FauxS-X (Purple Pictures Folder).ico" %iconlib%
It is shown nicely in the Favorites menu
and I can certainly go to it via Favorites menu.
But I can't copy to it - it just isn't shown in the menu!
(BTW, while we're at it - why don't these options have their own menu IDs?)

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Confirmed and fixed.
Why don't these options have their own menu IDs: Because they are variable in type and number.

Very nice, thanks!
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough - I was referring to the "Move/Copy/Backup to": it would be nice if at least "permanently available options" like "Favorite folders" had an id...
