Creating a new folder

With older versions of XYplorer I was able to rename a newly created folder directly after hitting Ctrl+N. Now I have to click again on the folder to rename it. Is there an option for this, is it a bug or what?

Hi Peter, long time no see.
Could not reproduce this. It works as it always did.

No problem for me on XP SP2 but...
If the column width in the list is narrow or the folder is empty. Typing Ctrl+N from the list (or the tree) then hit Enter or Esc to leave the name as the default (New Folder) then the column width is not auto-adjusted. Type a name that is longer than the existing file name and the column width increases to fit the longer name, unless the name is "New Folder" in which case it does not adjust the width. "New folder", however, does work.

OK, thanks for the INI, it helped: The key combination here is "Autosize Columns" and "Show folder sizes on Properties tab". The rename-edit-field is hidden on the repaint of the list after the Size column of the newly created and calculated folder is updated. This is generally a good thing.
I changed it this way: now the list is only repainted (and edit-field hidden) if the Size column actually needs to be resized (should have done this before anyway
). This means, since a new folder always has size "0 [unit]" a repaint is very unlikely.

Great, now it works fine. Thanks!

Mmh, it seems that the new changes are having a side-effect: When using the special renaming functions the results are often not shown before deselecting the files. Especially if it is just one file.

Oh yes, of course. Thank you!
