Could you send that BAT file to support, please?

[kuiwu_zh]

I've already sent it to: support@xyplorer.com

Thank you very much for your help.

[admin]

It did not arrive.

You can as well zip it and attach it to a post here.

No, I need the file. Zip it and attach it to a post here.

[admin]

Thanks!

Both editions, 32-bit and 64-bit, behave the same way here: It's necessary to pass the code page: text readfile("bat.bat",,,936);

But my Windows is not 936:

When you select Help | Various Information, what is shown in the above section (in 32-bit and 64-bit XYplorer)?
Sorry, you already did that! Let me think...

Looks almost identical. Main Contents Font: 微软雅黑 9.75 ... could that make a difference?

[kuiwu_zh]

I've already changed it to the following content:

Code: Select all

Main Contents Font: Segoe UI 9

It's still not showing correctly.

The 32-bit version is correct.

Currently out of ideas.

It works with text readfile("bat.bat",,,936);, right?

[kuiwu_zh]

Code: Select all

text readfile("bat.bat",,,936);

After adding the parameter "936", it shows correctly.

Because I have a lot of xys files (over a hundred), I need to modify the commands one by one.

I think users in other countries might encounter similar issues.




Will you continue to maintain the 32-bit version? For example, if new features are added to the 64-bit version, will they also be added to the 32-bit version?

If you keep maintaining the 32-bit version, I’ll just stick with the 32-bit version. Because for the two issues I reported, the 32-bit version works fine.

[admin]

Will you continue to maintain the 32-bit version? For example, if new features are added to the 64-bit version, will they also be added to the 32-bit version?

No, the 32-bit version will more and more fall behind.

I'll rather try to fix the issues in the 64-bit version.

[kuiwu_zh]

In a few days, I’ll install Win8.1 (Multilingual version) and choose German. Then I’ll see if these two issues still appear.

Thanks a lot for your help.
