XYplorer Beta Club

Hello,

since today updating to 28.40.0604 I see last window of preview, properties, find files window on the top of files, separate window, left in middle of the screen. Sometimes it is clickable and I can switch between preview, find files, but sometimes it is just rectangle. However I thinkg it is an issue, and not something required.

I also noticed that .604, and also .603. I have to hit CTRL+F twice to see find files window, otherwise it open the special bar on the bottom, but it is empty.

Same here. I have attached a screen cap of 28.40.0604 on startup. Nothing I have done will remove this when XY starts. I have to F12, F12 to get rid of it. I am going back to .0603.

XYP 28.40.0604
Windows 11 26H2
Scale 100%

I also see the info pane at start up at the weird location.

After I have dismissed it all seems ok. When I reinstate it it appears in the correct location. If then click around and then click empty space it looks like this: You can see little red artifacts in the pane.

Cheers
John

Whoops, fixed in next beta.

I know it is a work in progress, but the green squares in the @JohnM screenshot above, I am still seeing too in .0606, they are remnants of the transparent part of icons, which currently don't display transparently, also it can get in a situation where the tick and cross glyphs are visible too eg.


Also, I have just started getting this error on the Preview tab for video files, not sure if it is related to any recent IP changes, but I don't get it in the PP.

Both confirmed and glow-up-caused. Fix comes.

I can still see the red artifacts in the Info Pane.

To repro, with the Info Pane hidden, navigate to a LV showing >0 files/folders. With nothing selected, press <F12> to show the Info Pane:
Update: clicking on the Info Pane tabs gets rid of them for as long as you remain in the folder. Changing to a different folder brings them back until you again click on one of the Info Pane tabs.

Right clicking the Find Now button results in the following error, and silent close upon ok'ing it.

Since I am posting anyway, I'll just mention a few things I noticed missing from Find panel currently:
Tab headers aren't colored for indicating active filters
Tabs can't be right clicked to toggle active filters anymore
Config option from ctxmnu of old reset filter btn missing?
Can't press F1 with filetypes focused to see included types

Here too.

Also when the "info panel" is hidden and I would like to search for files, after CTRL+F I see empty find panel and I have to use CTRL+F again, that still persist.

Hm. No idea where this comes from. Can't repro. Can you post a screenshot in 100% size? Maybe seeing the pixels gives me a clue.

Good stuff. Going to work...

Does this help?
I have noticed that once the artifacts are visible, they remain when you click on a file/folder:

Oh, my apologies, your first screenshot was 100%.

Anyway, I have no idea what this is. In one shot it's red, in another it's orange. What other colors do you get?

Wait, what font and font size are you using?

Fonts: Not sure about the colours. As far as I can see only orange and red. I have not been able to repro the orange, only the red.


Update: it's probably not related, but I noticed something else. Let me describe: If the Info Pane is visible on the Properties tab and file/folder is selected the selected item's info is shown in the Properties tab.
Most times I click in the LV background, the Properties tab is cleared. However, sometimes when I do this, the Properties tab keeps showing the item's info. Like so: We can see nothing is selected and yet the previously selected item's info is still shown.

Interesting.
