cut and paste from windows explorer to XYplorer makes copy of file
Posted: 25 Jan 2026 17:28
I noticed a behavior when using Cut & Paste between Windows File Explorer and XYplorer version: 28.10.0508 (64 bit).
If I select a file in Windows File Explorer, choose Cut, and then Paste it into a target folder in XYplorer, the following happens:
- The file is pasted into the destination folder in XYplorer
- But the original file remains in Windows File Explorer
So instead of a move operation, this results in a copy, with the file existing in both locations.
In the 32 bit version of XYplorer this does not happen and the file is moved as expected.

Fix comes.
