Version 3.2.0.2 breaks batch scripts

Post by fiveolddogs »

Until upgrading to 3.2.0.2 (I was running 3.2 previously), executing batch scripts worked fine. Now, the batch window opens and closes, but does nothing. Running the same batch script using Explorer works fine.

Here is an example batch script transfer.bat:

Code: Select all

copy folder\foo.txt .
If I run transfer.bat under Explorer, foo.txt is copied. If I run (double-click) it under xplorer2 3.2.0.2, no file is copied.

I have tried running the batch script as administrator with no difference.

Replying to my own post here..

Looking at another thread, I decided to try turning off the option "don't lock browsed folder", and that has fixed the problem.

Is this behavior going to change? I prefer to not lock the browsed folder, but I also want my batch scripts to run properly.

i am going to remove that "dont lock browsed folder" option because now it does more harm than good. xplorer2 is by default careful not to lock anything you are trying to use in something else
