Code: Select all

v16.80.0005 - 2016-05-24 20:10
    + Paste and Go: Now paths with *forward* slashes are supported as well.
    + SC obfuscate: Now also the Catalog is obfuscated.
    * Folder Size Caching: From now on also folders cached as "0 bytes" will 
      always be re-calculated when showing the folder sizes.
    * Folder Size Caching: Additionally any subfolders containing more than 
      *256* items (recursively) are auto-added to the cache. Was *100* items 
      before.
    * Toolbar | Back, Forward, Recent Locations: Now paths are shown unslashed 
      in the dropdown menu.
    - Removed this little know trick from v9.40.0102 - 2010-08-13 17:32:
        Now you can force opening a folder in the other pane (inactive 
        pane) by holding Ctrl+Shift while triggering the open.      
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

v16.80.0006 - 2016-05-25 13:35
    ! Scripting: The string concatenation operator (.) had a fat too low 
      precedence that wasn't expected when you were coming from PHP (from where 
      this operator has been copied). Fixed.
      NEW order of precedence:
        -------------------------------------------
        ++ --         Math: Increment, Decrement
        ! Not         Boolean: NOT
        + -           Math: Unary Plus, Unary Minus
        * /           Math: Multiply, Divide
        %             Math: Modulo
        \             Math: Integer division
        + -           Math: Add, Subtract
        .             String concatenator
        < <= > >= == !=             Comparison
        Like LikeI UnLike UnLikeI   Comparison
        &&            Boolean: AND
        ||            Boolean: OR
        And           Boolean: AND
        Xor           Boolean: XOR
        Or            Boolean: OR
        ? :           Ternary
          <<< OLD POSITION: .             String concatenator >>>
        =             Set
        -------------------------------------------
      Example 1:
        echo "check" == "che" . "ck"; //"1" (was "0ck" before the fix!)
      Example 2:          
        echo "Tr" . "ue" or "Fa" . "lse"; //"1" (was "Tr1lse" before the fix!)
      Example 3:
        // FYI, this did NOT change compared to earlier versions:
        echo 1 + 2 . 3 + 4; // (1 + 2) . (3 + 4) = "37"
    > NOTE: Of course, the above fix can break old scripts! However, I think 
      it's not very likely in real world since I would find it quite unusual that 
      a scripter relied on a low precedence of the string concatenator. In all 
      languages I have ever seen it has a very high precedence.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0085.

    ! Scripting: Since v16.80.0006 spaces were not trimmed in certain contexts. 
      For example:
        global $a =    "a"; text $a;
      returned <    "a"> instead of <a>. Fixed.
    ! Find Files: Search for content in files triggered OnChange event in apps. 
      Fixed.

v16.80.0009 - 2016-05-27 11:56
    * Startup: Auto-Refresh now is activated only after startup if fully 
      completed. This should fix some rare startup issues with some users.
    * Folder Size Caching: Now removable drives are excluded from Folder Size 
      Caching. The variable drive letters don't play well with the current way 
      of caching.
    * Custom Copy | Collision Prompt: Enlarged the OK button to give it the same 
      optical weight and hit area as the new action buttons.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0086.
    ! Find Files: Recursive search results were shown level-indented since 
      20160510 (if "Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Branch View | 
      Level-indent" was enabled). Fixed.

    * Folder Size Caching: Folders that would not be read from cache now are 
      also not written to cache. Keeps the cache smaller. Clear your current 
      cache to benefit from this.
    * Folder Size Caching: Folder with "0 bytes" are generally not cached. From 
      now on, however, folders with "0 bytes" *will* be cached if they contain 
      256 or more items. Otherwise the performance impact would be too notable.
    ! Folder Sizes: When changing locations while folder size calculation was 
      still in progress the folder sizes wouldn't be calculated in the new 
      location. Fixed.
    + Help | Various Information: Added two lines about the OEM code page. For 
      example in Germany:
        Default OEM code page:    850   (OEM - Multilingual Lateinisch I)
        Active OEM Code Page:     850   (OEM - Multilingual Lateinisch I)      
    ! SC runret: Issue with non-Western OEM code pages. Fix attempt.

v16.80.0015 - 2016-05-30 14:33
    + Added tweak to support dropping on RAR archives via the RAR command line 
      interface. Set the tweak to 1 if the normal shell drop fails (still 
      unclear why it fails on RAR archives.)
        DropOnRarSpecial=1
      This will add the dropped files to the dropped-on RAR archive without 
      their path, or with a path relative to the archive (switches " a -ep1 ").
    - Removed tweak NoUnicodeDrop from v7.00.0023 - 2008-04-11 14:05. Not needed 
      anymore.
    ! SC runret: Issue on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7. Fix attempt #4.

    ! Command Line: When passing a startup file via command line (= open the 
      path, then select the file), that file was not fully selected AND focused, but 
      just selected. The focus stayed somewhere else. Fixed.
      Examples (both functionally identical):
        XYplorer.exe C:\Docs\file16.pdf
        XYplorer.exe /path="C:\Docs\file16.pdf"
    ! Startup: A tab auto-selected via command line falsely inherited its 
      properties from the original startup tab. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Sort and Rename | Sort | Keep focused item in view after 
      resorting: Was not honored by the commands in menu View | Sort By and SC 
      sortby. Fixed.
