Various little things
Posted: 12 Jun 2010 16:44
Just a few little things I noticed upon upgrading :
- Config|General: option "Show item count" is disabled when "Show folder sizes in file list" isn't enabled, it shouldn't be (since it also applies to manual trigger Calculate FS)
- Previewed formats list: if one has as a manually added extension an extension that's also an XY internal one, it will be listed twice, both in marked color. That's a little odd, and wrong actually. Remove one, and the only one that remains cannot be removed (which makes sense) though it is still in marked color, which is (still) wrong.
- Also a bug that annoys someone a whole lot, as he is confronted with it pretty much at least once a day. Here's a quick way to reproduce it, with 9.20:
- Create those two folders:
D:\test\foo
D:\test\bar
- Go in D:\test and expand the Tree node. All good. Now collapse it, and go away from D:\Test (e.g. up to D:\)
- Run a script that will rename "foo", e.g: ::rename b, 'foo.OUT',, 'd:\test\foo';
- Go back to D:\test, the two folders (foo.OUT & bar)are on List, of course.
- Open the Tree node, and here you find "foo" & "bar" ! Because XY didn't update the Tree, not upon rename (even though, in this case, he clearly was aware of it), and not - as I've hoped/wished for in the past - when (re-)reading the folder (d:\test) for filling the List.
Now because this guy uses the Tree to navigate around, he's often confronted with folders that are either missing or "misnamed" which gets really annoying, as I'm sure you can understand, and leads him to believe XY can't really be trusted.
- Another bug that also annoys him(, and bothers me too on the rare occasion I stumble upon it). Go somewhere, select files using e.g. Ctrl+A or a selection Filter or draw a rectangle selection...
Now try to update the dates of those files from the IP|Properties. Yeah, you can't, it's blank, you gotta select a file on List first (and that even when there is, on List, a file both selected & focused).
