Dark "flash" when pressing Delete (5.4.0.x)...

I am experiencing a dark "flash" whenever I press Delete to erase a file. It is as though a semi-transparent rectangle is being drawn over the entire client-space then immediately removed. This behaviour occurs in versions 5.4.0.1 & 5.4.0.2 (I don't have 5.4.0.0) - but not 5.3.0.2 (or ...

Re: NAS Drive Bookmark Icons after Network Failure

Thanks Nikos - I will go with the 2nd option and manually save any settings changes.

NAS Drive Bookmark Icons after Network Failure

Forgive my post as I know this has been asked before - but rather than revive an ancient thread I thought it better to start a new one... I moved 'Documents', 'Pictures' and other Libraries to a NAS drive (so they can be accessed by more than one computer) and updated all my bookmarks to point at th...

Re: System dialog displaying 'behind' xplorer2 window

Just a normal delete: I open xplorer2, select a folder and press the Delete key. If the folder contains a thumbs.db (or other system) file the windows 'Delete File' dialog is invoked by the system asking me whether I want to delete a system file, but the dialog is not visible due to it being 'behind...

System dialog displaying 'behind' xplorer2 window

Whenever I delete a folder containing a system file (e.g. thumbs.db) the system dialog requesting confirmation is always displayed 'behind' xplorer2 (I used to think xplorer2 had stalled until I realised what was happening) and I have to click the xplorer2 window in order to access the dialog and co...

Re: Reading subfolders... (ESC to abort)

I think I have identified the culprit: if I deselect "Calculate subfolders size automatically" in advanced options, the problem goes away. The strange thing is that this option has been selected from day 1 and has not been an issue until recently. Although the solution requires me to manua...

Re: Reading subfolders... (ESC to abort)

I did check the blog - yes - but nothing on there is likely to help as I haven't done anything (except for software updates) to the setup since installing it 2 years ago and it has been working flawlessly until recently. I have now gone back to 4.0.0.1 and this has made no difference (as you predict...

Re: Reading subfolders... (ESC to abort)

There's nothing special about any of my bookmarks - they have not changed since I set them up over 2 years ago when I first bought xplorer2. Everything was fine until 4.1.0.1 - then the 'freeze' occured every time I clicked in an icon on the bookmark toolbar. Version 4.2.0.1 does the same - and both...

Reading subfolders... (ESC to abort)

Since version 4.1.0.1 xplorer2 has been freezing for [upto] several minutes when clicking on a bookmark with the message "Reading subfolders... (ESC to abort)" displayed in the statusbar. Unfortunately pressing ESC has no effect (other than adding 'not responding' to the title bar) and I u...

Re: Dual Pane Color Coding

Yes - I already had that setting checked - but it does not solve the issue as it is referring to the active/inactive pane rather than the 'new' pane which appears after switching to dual-pane mode (whereby folder contents are displayed in the 'new' pane without color coding until it is manually swit...

Dual Pane Color Coding

When I configured color (and style) coding for different file types, they only got applied to the 'primary' pane (i.e. when I switched to dual pane the coding was not displayed in the 2nd pane). This was fixed by configuring color coding for the 2nd pane separately - but the "Custom color codin...

Yes.
nikos wrote: 2018 Mar 20, 16:26 can you try quickly the 32 bit version, does it fail the same? e.g the free lite one www.zabkat.com/x2lite.htm
Ok - I just tried it and can confirm that it fails the same way (my phone has just upgraded itself to Android 8.0, btw).
