XYplorer Beta Club

Hi,

i have different problem when trying to use the context menu
1) sharing : u can see the error message on the pic
2) i was using nanazip (playstore version) : couldnt see it on the context menu, im trying 7zip : same.... => any solution ?

im on surface pro 11 arm, last beta TB64

I doubt you'll be able to use ARM versions of those softwares with x64 XY if that is what you are doing.

hum....i dont know thats why im asking
before on previous XYplorer it was ok, and it was 32b so why not now ?

I guess it doesn't matter much with x64 on our doorstep, but I didn't realize the VB x32 bit version actually worked on ARM. Are you talking about a Snapdragon chips like those in Windows Surface Pro and some of their laptops?

of course it was working, pretty well
Surface pro 11, the arm version
Snapdragon(R) X 10-core X1P64100 @ 3.40 GHz



But still the share menu is not working

I don't know, maybe previously you were using 7zip x86, not 7z ARM64. For it to show in XY64 context menu I assume you'd need to install 7z x64, and please don't reply it already works in Explorer, that is because your OS is ARM64 not x64, you will probably need both versions installed/registry_entries to get menu in both.

Share menu is a known issue, keep in mind you are using very first initial betas of the x64 version, there has been no first release yet.

dont take it personally ok ? im just trying to share the bug and help the dev to fix the bugs
i know its the first initial beta, im following this app since years now.
and i already had some issue with compatibility between arm and x64 i know that.
im just telling my experience and how it was working. that's all
thanks for your help

and im pretty sure i was using arm64 or x64 version, and not x86
"that is because your OS is ARM64 not x64, you will probably need both versions installed/registry_entries to get menu in both" => so u mean i should have x64 AND Arm64 version installed ? never tried that

I am not taking "it" personally, I am just letting you know when you report Share is not working on the 14th, and then say its "still" not working on the 15th, give a little time for a resolution.

Well you might have been using 7z x64 with the x64 menu in the past not x86 that is true, or 7z x64 with only the x86 shell addon, but yes I am saying AFAIK you currently need 7z x64 to get it shown in the XY64 ctx menu, it's up to you if you want both installed. Make sure you have "Integrate 7-Zip to shell context menu" enabled in the Options dialog of x64 7z, and restart XY if not the OS.

I should add that I am not 100% familiar with all the newest arm emulation/virtualization that is available in the latest os and hardware.

on 15th when i said its still not working its an english mistake from me i wanted to say that the bug was there because we didnt talk about it (only about the menu)
I never put pressure on dev, i know how long it takes to solve and debug so dont worry about that

so for 7zip, i had 7zip Arm64 version, i installed the x64 version and the menu is not there on xyplorer (but working on explorer)
and i have enabled integration shell
