How Do I Get File Info Back in WIndows Explorer?

[vagskal]

Since updating to 13.1 the show file info function when hoovering over a music file in Windows Explorer is gone. The context menues ("Convert To" and "Edit ID-Tag") are still there.

How do I get the show file info function back in Windows Explorer?

If you hold the mouse over a txt file does it pop something up? does it show something for audio files?

Yes, what I think is standard Windows Explorer information pops up when holding the mouse over text files or other files (and music files, such as my flac files). For flac files only information on the file type (flac), last amended and size shows up, which I believe is the standard Windows Explorer information. For mp3 files some information is displayed from the tags, but not all information that dBp used to display.

To summarise: I do not believe dBp is showing anything but the standard Windows Explorer pop up information works.

You have the dBpoweramp Flac codec installed? (from codec central).

Uninstall dBpoweramp, reboot Windows, then Reinstall dBpoweramp.

Did so. It worked. Everything is fine again.

Thanks!
