Unfortunately free version is so old it has not kept pace with PRO.
v17.40.0100 PRO did not have GUI customization, where as current PRO does.
Options are an eye watering 975 settings
MenuBar Menus are sooo long they dont fit on my 23" monitor
The original developer does not know how to "hide" irrelevant menu-items,
to minimize user shock
v17.40.0100
XYplorer has a strange support for unicode - it can manipulate files with unicode characters (In particular, Georgian unicode characters) in their filenames, i.e. it can show, copy, move, delete, etc. them, but when I try to rename a file, it writes just "question marks" instead of characters.
And this applies to both free and paid versions.
v17.40.0100
@Wallax: thanks for checking it -- update reverted.
v15.80.0100
They did update their shareware version, 1t's a real 15.9. As for the free one, it's still at 15.8. As far as I understand, it's kind of their company policy: the free version is released later than the paid one.
v15.90.0000
@Wallax: please confirm in the release log, at http://www.xyplorer.com/release_15.90.php ...
My belief is the download page hasn't had its text properly updated.
v15.90.0000
It is version 15.80.0100, not 15.90.0000.
v15.90.0000
Portable device support is in the "Pro" version, but not in the free version.
v15.80.0100
@ ghielbert
Portable device support is currently still in heavy development for the last few weeks so it's not fully working yet and is only available in the beta versions. As for your other problems, it works perfectly for me so there might be something unique about your installation so go check out the forums and they will try to see what could possibly conflict with it. Although just to note, contrary to what you normally do in Windows Explorer, you want to Shift-Select by clicking on the file names rather than the icons.
v14.80.0000
@ghiebert - You should probably file bug reports with the developer of XYplorer. But, thanks for letting us know!
v14.80.0000
@bawldiggle AFAIK, XYPlorer doesn't have a free version anymore. The developer stopped supporting it awhile ago. All efforts now are to the PRO version.
