Hi all,

If I change something, say a date or an attribute, in the Properties tab of the Info Panel, the contents of the Info Panel blanks out after I click the green plus sign or press the enter key. However, the Info Panel’s content remains if I cancel a change.

Is this a bug or by design or am I nitpicking?

Cheers

Confirmed, it must be a bug. It's not in 0108 but it's there in 0109.

I believe it since I changed something there yesterday. However, I can't reproduce it How exactly do you do it?

Exactly as JohnM says. Select a file; change, for instance, the read only flag and click the green plus sign. Properties goes blank. This is on XP SP2, which may be relevant.

I use XP SP2 and i cannot reproduce this.

Version 5.00.0108

Edit: sorry did not try 0109 will be back soon.


Oh gosh yes!! 0109 makes properties go blank.

I'm on W2K and tried it...works fine for me also...can't reproduce bug

You don't even have to actually change anything, just click on the attribute or date and then the green "+" icon.

Also, I also noticed something else that may or may not be related (please bear with me): I select an executable and properties tab is populated. I run the executable (press enter or double click) and it completes ok. When the executable completes, the properties tab on the Info Panel again disappears with the executable still selected in the file list.

Now, this particular executable changes another file in the same folder. Maybe focus is being lost internally?

I hope this helps!

I tried all combinations of the usual suspects (Autorefresh; Show folder sizes) but still could not reproduce it (XP SP2).

The only setting that I have on that looks like it might be relevant is Configuration->General->Show folder size in Info Panel.

Would it help if I sent you my INI file?

Yep, please.

I have just sent to support@xyplorer.com...

That helped: it's "autosize columns" once again! I should have thought of this other usual suspect...

I'm glad it helped.

Autosize columns is one of the my favourite features...along with visual filters, selection filters, tabs, speed, low memory usage, and I could go on and on

While you are mentioning it: what bugs me in Autosize columns is that the name column sometimes gets so wide that other columns are shifted out of view. I'm thinking about another feature: "Autofit columns (now)" which would ensure all columns are visible through proportional shrinking resp. stretching, know what I mean?

This is regarding name column. Sometimes my name column is so wide that i dont mind having the name continue in the second line instead of having one long line which pushes the whole other columns out of view. I know its strange, but why not??
