branch view issue

[suslo]

(xy 19.40.0100)
(this problem is the same in 'fresh mode' too)

2 examples:

example 1. there are 2 folders:

2005 - Second Life {}
(it contains 15 wav-files)

2005 - Second Life {-}
(it contains 2 files: 1.cue and 1.wav)

activating the 'branch view' mode leads to the following:
- folder 1 has nothing (that is, there is no visible content here. at all) (which is not correct, because 15 files must be displayed)

- folder 2 has everything (that is, there are 17 visible files here) (which is not correct, because only 2 of them must be displayed)

this problem disappears if, for example, i rename folder 1 to
2005 - Second Life {z}
or to
2005 - Second Life{}
____

example 2. there are 4 folders:

azyza
(it contains 2 files: i.txt and u.txt)

del
(it contains 2 files: q.txt and z.txt)

del2
(it contains 2 files: t.txt and x.txt)

zyzy
(it contains 2 files: m.txt and n.txt)

activating the 'branch view' mode leads to the following:
- folder azyza: everything is correct
- folder del: is displayed as empty (which is not true)
- folder del2: is displayed with 4 files inside (t.txt and x.txt and q.txt and z.txt) (which is not true)
- folder zyzy: everything is correct
__

is there a way to solve this issue? (maybe some tweak in xyplorer.ini)

this is a slight addition concerning the example 2:

the problem disappears if, for example, i rename folder
del
to
del1

Confusing. Got a screenshot?

[suslo]

sorry, Donald;
i would love to post all necessary screenshots, but i have to live/survive in the conditions of the war,
and these months (since 7-january) i temporarily do not have a connection to www (in my PC), -

i only have this connection (from time to time) in my modest tablet-PC (with 'android' as the OS).

will you have a minute or 2? (to try to reproduce this huge 'branch view' issue)

1) Confirmed. It is an interesting artifact of Textual/Natural sorting. If you set "Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort method" to Binary the problem disappears.

Here's the screenshot (the sorting in the Path column is wrong):

I'd say this is a bug in Windows StrComp and StrCmpLogical, and since Microsoft does not fix bugs, you should rename your folders to something less strange.

2) Can't confirm.
