XYplorer Beta Club

If I select a parent directory that has lots of child dirs, and calculating folder sizes is taking some time, I find that a folder will become selected in the right pane, and will stay that way--even if I hit Esc, or wait for folder size calculation to complete, the selected folder can't be deselected without using Ctrl.

Sorry for the lame description, but hopefully that made sense.

Hm. Wanna try again?

I've had probably less than 10 or 12 hours of sleep over the past 4 days or so, but I'll try... A video may be the easiest way to show you... Can't do that now though.

Here's what happens:

1. I have a tab that is locked on C:\Program Files. Beginning with some other tab selected, I'll click the C:\Program Files tab. XYplorer does its thing and calculates folder sizes...

2. If I wait for folder sizes to be calculated, typically everything will be fine--there won't be any problem. But if I (a) click a folder in the list and then (b) hit Esc, that's when the problem occurs. What happens is that even after the dust settles, XYplorer will insist on keeping the folder I clicked on selected.

Normally, if a folder is selected, and you click on some other folder, the first one becomes deselected... Of course. If you have Ctrl or Shift held down, it's a different story--but a normal click causes other items to become deselected.

When this problem happens, clicking away--even without Ctrl and/or Shift held down--doesn't force the original selected folder to be deselected.

Like I said, 10 or 12 hours...

Tried but cannot reproduce.

Send me your INI please, and then go to bed.

OK, here's a really crappy-looking video. If this doesn't explain it, nothing will.

As you can see (hopefully), the Documents and Settings folder is selected. In the video, I'm wildly clicking on other items in the list... But Documents and Settings stays selected. I'm not holding down any keys at all--I'm just clicking.

Again, to reproduce this problem, I just need to click a tab that will cause XYplorer to spend some time calculating folder sizes--then I need to hit Esc and click on some folder while it's doing that.

Ok, reproduced, confirmed, fixed!
