XYplorer Beta Club

Thanks for the praise and input The feature is still young and I don't want to make it too complicated for now. Especially the overlapping address bar is still experimental. I did not think about your point #2. Hmm. Maybe the overlapping thing is a bit *too* experimental

The original attributes for Toolbar Set #1 stay the same (e.g., ToolbarFirst=1). Changing the original layout attributes could mess up some old scripts.

I won't do anything for now. Let the dust settle first.

Hey Don, very helpful changes on beta v25.70.0118, especially the option for "Allow multiple button rows".

Will we get a CID# for that? It might also be a good addition for: SC get("that_new_CID") to check condition for scripting. Thanks again.

Editorial: The center section of Customize toolbars still says New line >> instead of New Row >>.

I like that i can finally do this: Why in Customize Toolbar window adding button places it above the selected one in the right list and not below?(which is more logical) Yet, as right buttons arrangement menu doesn't allow to drag buttons and one needs to use Up/Down buttons, it would be helpful if press-holding those would act as multi-clicking = so user can press-hold to faster move around selected button.

klownboy: yes and

eil: It's Windows standard to insert before/above the selection.

Consolas in the menu bar, a nice change.

Maybe it's default(don't know, haven't used Explorer for more than 10 years), but it's super-awkward to add many buttons in one go,'cause afterwards user must move each one manually to proper lower position.

BTW, shouldn't Customize Toolbar have a drop-down allowing to select toolbar sets for editing? Currently user must first switch toolbar set and only then open customization to be able to secondary one(s).

Super-awkward? I find it super-practical. Never had any problem with it. Click, click, click, and all is on the other side in the original order.

I've noticed an issue when there is a double row with menu/text btns on top, if the buttons underneath are of the style that has a drop down menu on the RHS (as arrows below indicate) the menu text above those icons can go missing (as pictured) Once the text has gone missing, mouseover the blank area returns the text to normal though.


To repro in fresh,
Move 1 of those down arrow type buttons underneath the text menu btns, I used ICF/VF because those seemed easiest to repro with, then just press the VF button on (or toggle it), then press its down arrow, once the dropdown closes, it should happen, or it might take a bit of fiddling alternating between the VF/ICF button and their dropdowns.

repro script to setup fresh; UI, if helpful.
#1061; toolbar("{menus_all},|,visualfilter,icf");

Love this new Toolbar feature Don. I have desired more than one Toolbar for some time.

Any chance we could get to populate said Toolbar by dragging shortcuts to it? Like in the old PowerDesk.

Great addition to XY whatever.

Thanks! The repro script made it a piece of cake.

Should be scriptable using a Droppable User Button.

I don't see how that should work ?
This is one of the missing functions in XY's Toolbar management.
One should simply drop any file or folder to the Toolbar
to get a button which runs that file or opens that folder.
Later he can change the details, providing more parameters for executable files.
That's a function I'm missing most compared with Total Commander.

The script of the DUB can create a new button pointing to the value of <get drop>.

But yes, simple drag and drop would be much better. Later...

The script of the DUB can create a new button pointing to the value of <get drop>.

It can but there is no way to configure that new button via scripting?

Writing the necessary definition directly into the .ini would require a XY restart...
