Hello and welcome to XYplorer Club!
It would be useful to know what version of XYplorer you are running.
The extent to which XYplorer is fully Unicode is a mystery to me. Lots of its features support Unicode though. I searched through the changelogs (thanks j_c_hallgren for the blog) and the only thing that I can see related to this issue is this:
Code: Select all
+ Added tweak to fix, or rather workaround, a strange caret position error in Tree/List inline rename with Unicode characters, aka "Chinese odd thing".
[General]
FixOddThing=1
Note that with this workaround you may notice a horizontal misalignment of text when pasting into inline rename boxes. It's harmless but cosmetically unsatisfying.
Don is out of the office at the moment, so it may be a while before you get the word directly from the developer, but we'll try to help as much as we can in the meantime.

zer0, you're welcome!
That's part of the reason I created it because I found it hard to search JUST the Beta update thread here in the forum, and the blog provides another alternative.
I also wish to thank you as a somewhat recent forum member yourself (at least compared to some of us!) for responding to these new user posts as I've seen you do! You're doing a good job being part of our "family" here!

Yes, I too had no luck trying to search that section. Do you have any idea why it's so difficult? Beats me.

Thank you for the compliment, I try to chip in now and then
I also think that in Don's absence away on holiday, his 10-hours-a-day coding habits and growing popularity of XYplorer it will be more and more important for forumites to provide assistance where we can.

Hi! I never heard of any problems with localized names since the app supports Unicode. Can you provide a screenshot? Thanks, Don

I post the screenshot to another host. And added a screenshot of Q-Dir for compare.
The localized names of "My Documents", "My Computer", "Desktop" .......etc. are not displayed properly in XYplorer.
