Explorer++

The application is marked as long path aware (as of 6 months ago), but unfortunately, that doesn't have much of an effect. The shell interfaces that the application uses all fail when the path is greater than 260 characters. Microsoft would need to update those interfaces. Until that happens, there'...

Also, to expand a bit more on why "This PC" isn't considered to be a parent of "C:\Users\{username}\Downloads", the reason is that parsing paths (e.g. paths like "C:\Users\{username}\Downloads") aren't unique in the shell namespace. In the filesystem, they are. You can'...

It looks like the folders no longer compare equal. That is, when you enter the path "C:\Users\{username}\Downloads", the resulting ITEMIDLIST no longer compares equal to the ITEMIDLIST for the "Downloads" folder on the desktop. Which is unexpected, since that works in Windows 10 ...

Originally, I had planned to make multiple instances of the application communicate and share information about bookmarks.

The section Tools | Options | Default Settings is no longer there!

Just a note that the default settings tab definitely hasn't been removed.

I did make a change a few months back to ensure that the main window is visible on startup. Someone reported an issue where the application opened off screen after a monitor change. So I'll likely do something similar with the dialogs, to ensure that they're at least visible when opened. I suppose i...

It should work and does work for me. What's the error?
