Hey, great Jorge - that was quick!

That leaves my issue with the desktop Disk mod and not being able to change the data text fields, but it'll keep for now.

Just this, excerpted from my last post on previous page -

...Anyway, to be 100% on topic, keep forgetting one issue, starting in 26.1 and unchanged in the betas. I've been running the new Disk mod whenever I'm in Windows, and the issue is that I can't change the data displayed in the desktop mod! Every time I change them in the applet, nothing changes at all. (Haven't had a chance to try the iconic mod yet, BTW. - Next time I'm in there.)/quote]

Just found and fixed a MAJOR MAJOR bug introduced in v25.9 because of the new multi-selection feature: dragging one or more files from a Folder type tab to an Explorer window would actually CRASH Explorer because of a malformed CIDA structure.

Fixed now.

It's been a good long while since I dragged any file from the shelf to another app, but back when I did don't recall ever crashing Exploder.

You put that text inside quotes, that is why I never even looked at it. Newbie!

To answer your questions:

1. You cannot change the data that appears in the desktop module version of the Disk Meter, only skinners can do that when making a theme (just like it happens with the other desktop modules). The data you can select in the Settings panel is related to the iconic version of the module.

2. The Explorer crash bug was only introduced in v25.9 after adding multi-select, as I had to change the code so you could drag multiple items at once.

Argh! Didn't spot that, wasn't meant to happen. I think 'brain fart' is the term...

1. Ah right. That's not so bad - an iconic one is the only thing I'd use myself, just 1 drive.

2. Oops, didn't read that properly in your OP. I claim Old Age.
