XYplorer Beta Club

Hi

I've just subscribed to this application, so I'm very new to it.

I want to open a few instances of XYplorer, each having different tabs of different folders. How can I save different folder tabs for each instance and open them simultaneously?

I appreciate your help.

XY remembers its tabs across sessions. If you want multiple instances with different tabs then one way is to use completely separate configurations. You can achieve that using the /ini command line switch. Check out command line switches in the Help (F1).

I myself use this target line in a shortcut (LNK) to a configuration I use for screenshots:
E:\XY\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe /ini=E:\XY\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots\XYplorer.ini

Thank you very much for the help. Works like a charm.

My initial test went well. I created the following folder and copied my existing XYplorer folder from the following folder:

C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer to H:\Temp\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini

and used the following command to access it

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /ini=H:\Temp\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini

It worked perfectly fine.

I tried to transfer it to the H:\Ahmad Raza\Configuration\XYplorer folder, but it somehow does not seem to work. I used the following command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /ini="H:\Ahmad Raza\Configuration\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini"

It does not show any saved tabs. However, if I add and define new tabs, they appear correctly. Is there a way to make a copy of the existing configuration to my desired path? I also tried File/Settings Special/Save Copy of Configuration As.

Thank you so much for your attention and help.

Did you transfer all contents of H:\Temp\XYplorer\? You should.

Yes, I did.

Weird. Just made a test (using File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder... for the transfer) and it worked perfectly.

Yes, a bit surprising for me as well. Because it worked fine for me for the first time, and now it is working fine again. I tried it with a different folder and it works fine.

I must have done something different in the process that caused this issue previously. Will try to reproduce the problem for academic purposes.

Thank you for your prompt response and support.
