anyone with windows 11?

Post by nikos »

windows 11 has this HOME folder in the tree, which looks like it doesn't work with xplorer2
sadly my win11 doesn't have this folder, perhaps it will be added with a future update

does anyone have this folder? I would like to run some test on it
thanks

I've definitely got the Home folder in Windows 11 22H2.

Want testing done in the beta or in stable?

does it work? I have reports that folders you add in there just don't show their names or/and cannot be browsed

Since we've been working on it independently via email, I'll fill in a bit of info here for the forum users to see.

It seems that this is a virtual folder 'collection' of some sort, and while the folders located in my 'home' folder are navigable, in the actual folder pane they are not named, displaying only an icon (however, in the tree, they are named).

I've got more testing to do, but Nikos is getting debug logs from me as I test, so he should be able to get this working the way it is meant to be soon.

And this is why I still use Xplorer² - not just because I paid for it, but because Nikos is such a great developer to work with, actively pursuing bug reports and idiosyncratic errors that pop up as M$ continues to change things in their Windows OSs even after so many years.

it turns out that this is a new manifestation of explorer''s Quick Access folder, which never worked properly with xplorer2

so I turned it off completely

thanks for your help johngalt!

Thank you for turning that off!

#$%#!$%@#%^@$#%^@$%^& Quick Access....virtually useless. Hell, not even virtually, totally, completely and fully useless.
