Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v25.70.0104 - 2024-03-16 10:44
    + Dark Mode: Added tweak DarkTint to add a tint to the darkness. Try 220 for blue, 120 
      for green, 20 for brown.
        DarkTint=220
      Allowed values are 0 to 360 (0 = no tint).
    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: Now the name length box has rounded corners on the right.
    * Toolbar | Hotlist: New icon. Hotter.
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

:!!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: Swapped the text colors:
      - Red with yellow text:       Invalid filename!
      - Red with white text:        Name is too long!
      Invalid filename is the only case where renaming is impossible, so it gets a special 
      text color.
    ! Icon Preview: Icons with non-square dimensions were not previewed. Fixed.

Direct Download: https://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_full.zip
Download Page: https://www.xyplorer.com/download.php
Release Notes: https://www.xyplorer.com/release.php

Code: Select all

v25.70.0000 - 2024-03-12 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Permanent Custom Sort Order Per Folder. Now a custom sort order, created by freely 
      sorting the files in a folder by dragging them to the desired positions, can be 
      remembered per folder. Whenever you reopen that folder, it will be in the same 
      custom sort order. Windows hasn't supported this since Windows 7, but now it's back 
      in XYplorer and it's here to stay.
  +++ Zero Padding. Now it is easy to add zeros to numbers in file names during batch 
      renaming. Turn track_1.mp3, track_2.mp3, track_10.mp3 into track_01.mp3, 
      track_02.mp3, track_10.mp3 with a single click and restore a reasonable order in 
      your playlists.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

Code: Select all

v25.60.0111 - 2024-03-11 10:21
    + Native Variables | <pad ...>: Revised the syntax and added a way to pad the 
      first/last number in a string. The number padding is actually more of a command than 
      a variable, but the variable form makes it nicely usable in Batch Rename.
      Syntax: <pad length [char] [flags]>
        length: Final length of the padded string, or of the padded number within the 
                string (depends on the flags).
        char:   Character to pad with.
                If missing it defaults to " " (space).
                Note that strings longer than one character are supported, although it's 
                hard to see a good use for this.
        flags:  b = only work on the base of a filename (exclude the extension)
                n = pad the first (left-most) number in the string
                nr = pad the last (right-most) number in the string
      Examples:
        echo "ab<pad 12>cd";          //ab        cd          --> pad char defaults to space
        echo "ab<pad 12 ->cd";        //ab--------cd
        echo "ab<pad 12 xy>cd";       //abxyxyxyxycd          --> works, but useful?
        echo "<pad 8 0>98.mkv";       //0098.mkv
        echo "<pad 8 0>64.mpeg";      //064.mpeg              --> probably not wanted
        echo "<pad 4 0 b>98.mkv";     //0098.mkv
        echo "<pad 4 0 b>64.mpeg";    //0064.mpeg             --> nice
        echo "64<pad 4 0 b>.mpeg";    //6400.mpeg
      Examples for number padding:
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 1.";      //Text 0001.
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 12.";     //Text 0012.
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 123.";    //Text 0123.
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 12 34.";  //Text 0012 34.       --> first number is padded
        echo "<pad 4 0 nr>Text 12 34."; //Text 12 0034.       --> last number is padded
      Examples of use in Batch Rename (note that the asterisk is necessary, though its 
      position is irrelevant):
        - Pattern: <pad 4 0 n>*         = (only the left-most number is padded)
          Old Name:                     New Name:
            image_1.jpg                   image_0001.jpg

            image_4567.jpg                image_4567.jpg        
        - Pattern: <pad 4 0 nr>*         = (only the right-most number is padded)
          Old Name:                     New Name:
            24h-image_1.jpg               24h-image_0001.jpg

        - Pattern: <pad 4 0 bnr>*        = (only the right-most number in the base is padded)
          Old Name:                     New Name:

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v25.60.0110 - 2024-03-10 16:48
    + Native Variables: Added the interesting new <pad ...> variable, which can be used to 
      pad a string with a number of characters at a specified position until the string 
      reaches a specified length.
      Syntax:
        Variant 1: <pad final_length [character]>
        Variant 2: <padbase final_length_of_base [character]>
        If character is missing it defaults to " " (space).
      Examples for <pad ...>:
        echo "<pad 20 ->text";      //----------------text
        echo "text<pad 20 ->";      //text----------------
        echo "text<pad 20 ->text";  //text------------text
        echo "<pad 2 ->text";       //text
        echo "text<pad 20>text";    //text            text
      Examples for <padbase ...>:
        Since with filenames you normally would prefer to ignore the length of the 
        extension, there is a variant <padbase ...> which looks at the length of 
        the base (filename without extension) only:
        echo "<pad 8 0>98.mkv";       //0098.mkv
        echo "<pad 8 0>64.mpeg";      //064.mpeg    --> probably not wanted
        echo "<padbase 4 0>98.mkv     //0098.mkv
        echo "<padbase 4 0>64.mpeg";  //0064.mpeg   --> nice
      Notes:
        - You can have only one <pad ...> per string. Otherwise the results will be 
          unexpected.
        - There is a nice use of <pad ...> in Batch Rename if you want to pad filenames, 
          for example left-pad with zeros: <padbase 8 0>*          
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Dark mode: Added option 
      "Adjust to OS light/dark mode at startup". Tick it to automatically adjust to 
      Windows light/dark mode at startup (Win 10 and later).

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v25.60.0108 - 2024-03-09 11:04
    + SC property enhanced: Added arguments "#image.width" and "#image.height". They work 
      in the same context as "#image.dimensions", and give the same results. Especially if 
      you work a lot with icons, you will be happy with one of the dimensions.
      Examples:
        text property("#image.width");
        echo <prop #image.width>;
        echo <prop #image.height>;
      Remark:
        These are just extensions of SC property/<prop ...>. They are not new Special 
        Properties (of which #image.dimensions is one). For example, they are not offered 
        as columns, and you cannot return the field name like that:
          echo <prop #image.width n>;
        You can do this instead:
          echo <prop #image.width "Width: ">;
    * Toolbar | Folder View Settings: Changed the icon from the stupid capital F to a blue 
      diamond. When activated (pressed) the diamond gets a sparkle.
      The diamond represents something precious that you want to keep, and something very 
      durable that never changes. Perfect for Folder View Settings.
    > The previous icons are attached for those who prefer them.
      Just tweak this INI key like this:
        PatchImagesPath=Patch
      Then paste the files (extracted from the attached zip) into this folder:
        <xydata>\Patch
      Then restart XY.
    ! View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views...: Since v25.60.0105 items with a 
      Visual Filter showed the Dual Location icon. Fixed. Now the Visual Filters are not 
      shown in this listing.
