2xExplorer freezes on leaving a deleted folder's view

Post by Duconlajoie »

Hello,
I noticed something strange today.

Say you display in the upper pane folder A which has a subfolder B.
In the lower pane display the content of B.
In the upper pane delete B.
Bring focus back on the lower pane and choose any folder or disk in the left column.

On my system 2xExplorer just hangs. It could me my XP setup getting too old, or is it a :twisted: bug?

Regards, :)

FWIW: I'm running an Athlon 2500+, 1GB ram, XP Pro sp1, ATI Radeon 9700, Logitech trackball... and hardly any TSRs :wink:

Don't you get a warning that "this file is being used and cannot be deleted"

I think the option is reversed as Horizontal results in vertical.I think the thumb problem might be solved selecting vertical as i have in order to get a side by side "horizontal" split pain look,and thumbs on top.
