    :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:

          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.

                I thought is was; introduce bugs until it's unusable.

                        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 :)

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

                                Well, I guess some of us think that, on very rare occasions, there are better alternatives than what Windows provides. Directory Opus, IMO, is far beyond just a File Explorer. But then again, I am not a fanboy. :)

                                  You asked for alternatives ;) It depends entirely on what you do with the file explorer. If it is indeed just for browsing files then Windows File Explorer is good enough. If you need to work with files on local and remote systems on different file systems (Windows/Linux) then you need better tools.

                                    It's more that File Explorer is very capable of simply browsing files, which is probably the use case of most users, including me, but you make it sound like no one should ever be using File Explorer again. If you'd replace "File Explorer" with "Internet Explorer" I'd agree, no one should be using that anymore, but File Explorer is fine and can be used by the majority of users. Also not saying File Explorer is the best, but it's the easiest and good enough for what most users want with it.

                                      Yeah, I get that. What triggered me was theoldfool's tone, like "Are people still using File Explorer!? *disappointment*" while it's a perfectly fine tool for most users :~

                                        It's more that File Explorer is very capable of simply browsing files, which is probably the use case of most users, including me, but you make it sound like no one should ever be using File Explorer again. If you'd replace "File Explorer" with "Internet Explorer" I'd agree, no one should be using that anymore, but File Explorer is fine and can be used by the majority of users. Also not saying File Explorer is the best, but it's the easiest and good enough for what most users want with it.

                                        Especially given that it is no longer supported.

                                          In one way, it is it's own security system.

                                          "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
