, glad you found the problem

I tried it on a different Win10 machine with pristine portable FCXE.
the problem exists, but I cannot tell which version started the issues.
deeper reseach shows, that the problem occurs only when the copy action deals with a lot of different files.

I have a Vivaldi Standalone folder, for example ...

i'll try another machine tomorrow - seems there is something fishy with my Win10

yes, pristine FCXE portable (both versions 946&947) also shows this behavior.
it is always pressing Esc exactly three times.
MS file explorer works correctly.

after further investigation I see that the issue started in earlier versions of FCXE (I didn't notice it earlier).

this behavior started with [946] and is still here in [947]
Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V invokes the Windows copy action (not FCXE copy dialogue) on my machine.

1) select a large file/folder
2) press Ctrl+C
3) press Ctrl+V
4) press Esc to cancel the copy-action
5) Win copy dialogue disappears for a second or ...

Paste shortcut broken again in [944] & [945]

jipee!
the small dot had a huge impact.
everything works perfectly now.

shame on me. thanks for the help!

hello, i tried lots of things:
1) PerformOpenPerItemExtList=.txt --> no success
2) PerformOpenPerItemExtList=.txt.jpg.pdf.docx --> no success
3) totally deleted the line "PerformOpenPerItemExtList=.txt.jpg.pdf.docx" --> no success
4) tried on three different computers, with pristine FXCE944 portable ...

[944]
no, it doesn't work



now I hit 'Enter' and get this:



now I click 'OK' and get this:



now I click 'OK' and then I have total empty word in front of me

940 still CANNOT do it properly

(perhaps somehow related to: viewtopic.php?p=44335#p44335)

I can fully confirm this.
F6 seems to be a tad more reliable than Ctrl+X.

strangely enough it sometimes works (using F6), BUT the folder list is not updated (the moved file remains visible in the original folder even though it was moved successfully)

Well my solution is very simple.
BUT I think FCXE can do what you want.

1) open 'Customize favorite toolbar'
2) add a new 'Category' to your favorite toolbar
3) in that category add a 'New item' with the following entries (of course change it to your needs):
- Name: **your predefined folder ...

I'd suggest to keep using 'Favorites' but try the option 'Lock folder tab - navigation to subfolders' or 'Lock folder tab - no navigation' instead of just 'Lock folder tab'.

thanks in advance.

I found out that the bug was introduced with 937.

1) activate Plain view (Ctrl+B)
2) now in Plain view be sure to select files from DIFFERENT folders
3) press Ctrl+C --> error box pops up, copy operation fails
