Hotkeys stopped working in Build 728

#1 Post by joq » 28.09.2016, 08:15

Hi,
I downloaded Build 728 (portable version, 64-bit) and installed that. I install new versions this way:

* I back up all settings in Freecommander.
* I shut down Freecommander.
* I open the Zip archive (e.g. "FreeCommanderXE-64-donor_portable728.zip") in Windows Explorer.
* I extract the files to the directory where the previous version of Freecommander was installed. So, "on top".
* When prompted I select "overwrite all".

...this has worked great for years. It also worked OK for Build 728, there is only one issue I have discovered and that is that my defined hotkeys do not work anymore.

I tried this:

* Opened the "Favorite items" dialog.
* Removed a couple of hotkey definitions.
* Clicked OK.
* Reopened the "Favorite items" dialog.
* Redefined the of hotkey definitions I just removed.

..however this had no effect.

Should I try removing: .\SETTINGS\FreeCommander.fav.xml? I am not sure at the moment whether there is something in this old file causing the problem, or something in the new build per se.

I am using:

* Version used: FreeCommander XE 2016 Build 728 64-bit donor
* OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1

Thank you
Jocke

I usually use a very similar way to update my FCXE - I haven't encountered any problems so far.
but obviously something went wrong in your update this time.

I once set FCXE to auto-backup settings daily and keep 15 backups.
perhaps you are lucky and you also can find a settings-backup.

Hi,
thanks for replying. I keep a lot of backups, too, of my Freecommander settings (including on a network drive). I did activate the settings from a week back, unfortunately it did not fix the hotkeys issue.

All hotkeyes does not work or only the hotkeys assigned to favorite folders?
