Double-clicking Folder Odd Result

Post by LNEL108 »

I'm a new user of XYplorer (1 week post-purchase after 3 weeks trial). Here's some odd behavior that's bugging me:

When I double-click a folder to open it, most often it opens, and it's contents are revealed. So far so good. However, from time to time, seemingly randomly, when I double-click on a folder, I'm taken back to the next higher folder, the parent folder of the one I was trying to open. This happens often enough to be bothersome.

Am I doing something wrong, like clicking too slowly or too fast? Is this a known issue? What's going on? I'd like to fix it. Advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks, Jupe. I suspect that the ""double-click on white in file list/folder tree" settings in the Custom Event Actions config menu were the issue. I had them set on "Go up." I've set them to "none." We'll see how that goes.

Yes but it's all related to the same issue, missing clicking on the item name, so now instead of "Go Up" nothing will happen, or instead you could have enabled Full Row Select then you can't miss click, it's just personal preference which one you change, most people coming from Explorer seem to prefer/expect FRS.
