    Last week Windows was updated which included 'fixes' and 'enhancements' for File Explorer. Now when I try to paste a path into the navigation bar, nothing happens. This was working before. Thanks MS. I mean, how hard was that to test before releasing?? Typical MS.

    I noticed that also, seems like there used to be an arrow on the right of the address bar but it's gone. Now, when you paste you have to hit return for it to actually go to the folder.

            :thumbsup:Thanks for the headsup! This just might explain a customer complaint last week where print preview is disregarding orientation flags for reports. I know for certain that it's a Win11 issue, but I don't happen to have a Win11 system handy for testing. 2 colleagues with Win11 have confirmed that it just started happening. It's a good excuse for me to get a new system! :laugh:

                                    Total Commander, XYPlorer, FreeCommander, Double Commander, ... the list goes on. I used Total Commander some 10 years ago before fully switching to Linux and it was like having Norton Commander again.

                                      Midnight Commander works, ugly terminal program but good. For me? When I run Windows (VM's), Directory Opus. I have used Directory Opus for about 20 years. Was a BETA tester back in the day. Best developer I have ever had the pleasure to "meet". Best support I have ever seen. Probably smart enough not to come here :)

                                        Total Commander, XYPlorer, FreeCommander, Double Commander, ... the list goes on. I used Total Commander some 10 years ago before fully switching to Linux and it was like having Norton Commander again.

                                        Why would I use a third party component for something so simple as browsing files? :~ Stuff like Total Commander, FreeCommander and Double Commander just look like bloated and very busy explorers to me :~

                                          Midnight Commander works, ugly terminal program but good. For me? When I run Windows (VM's), Directory Opus. I have used Directory Opus for about 20 years. Was a BETA tester back in the day. Best developer I have ever had the pleasure to "meet". Best support I have ever seen. Probably smart enough not to come here :)

                                          Why would anyone ever settle for a terminal program (and an ugly one at that) when there's a nice UI available!? :~ X|
