A folder has ceased showing in the tree listing, the file listing and the breadcrumb bar.

I have tried:

Refresh
Refresh tree
Reset tree
Refresh list
Reset list

but all did not succeed.

I launched Windows File Explorer and the folder was showing there. I exited XY (no install) 26.90.0300 and then launched XY (no install) 7.90.0260 - the folder was showing there. I exited XY (no install) 7.90.0260 and launched XY (no install) 14.80.0200 - the folder was showing there. I then exited XY (no install) 14.80.0200 and relaunched XY (no install) 26.90.0300 - the folder was NOT showing there (after exiting and then relaunching that version.

I then shut down Windows and started it up again. I launched XY (no install) 26.90.0300 and still the same problem as before existed. But Windows File Explorer, XY 7.90.0260, and XY 14.80.0200 all found the folder as before.

A short while later I noticed that a second folder was also not showing and all the other versions / actions also did not cause that one to appear.

The path leading to and first folder name contain one single quote but quite a few others have that and no problem.

The path leading to and second folder name does not contain anything unusual.

So what is happening?

Launch a fresh instance of the current version and tell us if it shows it?

I updated to version 28.30.2500 from version 25.20.0100 and right now all seems good.

When first launched after update title bar shows 28.30.2500 updated from 25.20.0100 but subsequently only shows updated version and not the 'from' version. Is there any way of getting that after it is no longer shown in the title bar?

Exit without Saving.

Doesn't work.

Not after you exited with saving when the upgrade title bar was still shown. Once it's gone it's gone.
The question is rather why you would want that info shown permanently?

Not permanently in the title bar. Just some way of referring to that if and when desired.

It *might* be helpful at debugging. I'll consider it.

You could achieve something crudely similar with a CEA startup script, maybe something along these lines

Code: Select all

 $oV = getkey("LastVer", "General"); if (compare(<xyver>, $oV, v) == 1) { writefile("<xydata>\VersionHistory.txt", "$oV<crlf>", a); }

It's already present in the current beta (XYplorer.ini):

Code: Select all

[General]
LastVer=28.30.2509
PrevVer=28.30.2507
