stop automatic cloud downloads?

Post by bernardh »

Hi, I'm new to XYPlorer. One of the things I'd like to do is hover over an image and see a large hover image. I've got that working BUT if the file I hover over is not physically on my win 10 laptop (it's synced in OneDrive and I use the 'free up space' option leaving the file showing as 0kb locally) then every time I hover over one of these files XYZ downloads the file. I don't want to download it - I just want to see what the image is by hovering over it. Is this possible? Thanks

Good point. It's not currently possible, but it should be. So the size column shows 0kb for these files?

Yes: the file size in the cloud might be say 2.31mb, but the local version (the one I'm trying to view on rollover locally) is 0kb and I don't want it to automatically download, otherwise this feature is pretty much unusuable.

That's a yes to my question "So the size column shows 0kb for these files?"

Whatever, it should be handled in the next beta.

Thanks for this change Don, now I no longer have to use the blacklist which also disabled infotips.

So infotips do not trigger a download?

Never have for me on OneDrive.

I noticed the Hard Links property returns, "Access to the cloud file is denied.", but all the other info is still useful, size date etc. I'd been missing them. (or in fact forgetting I am on OneDrive and trying to trigger them for a while before remembering they were blocked)
