But now, e.g. with

Code: Select all

v10.50.0028 - 2011-11-18 12:39
    * Flat View: On a mixed Flat View (i.e. /:flat = showing files and
      folders), any Visual Filters or Name Search patterns from now on
      only apply to files, not to folders. In other words, all folders
      always pass any filters.
      This fine feature, combined with level-indent and tree-like sort
      order, enables you to view *filtered trees* in the file list, for
      example a tree showing only images or only EXE files. Hot stuff!

it becomes more and more interesting!

In other words: a good idea!

You said it brother - this is awesome.

Tabsets. one more browser-like useful feature in a basket, thanks.

Thank you for supercharging an already fantastic feature into an even more powerful one!

    + Visual Filters: Now they support environment variables and XY
      native variables.

Thank you for supercharging an already fantastic feature into an even more powerful one!

Code: Select all

"Matching Base" <curbase>
"Matching Clipboard" <clipboard>
"System Executables" %pathext%

Totally agree. This is awesome.

Multi Field Search

thanks, this is really fantastic!!!

Scripting is what I'm saying THANKS for here and now as my 5,000th post here! Yes, I know that scripting has been in XY for a LONG time but it was only in last 2 days that I really was able to take advantage of it for a task that I needed to do, and will need to do again in future...While the amt of time it took to create the script may possibly have matched/exceeded how long it would have taken to edit files manually, it was done with much less chance of errors and no boring repetetive typing which is hard for me....

I got a HUGE amt of the needed code from Stefan and with some aid from highend and TheQwerty, plus a lot of stepping thru script to test and research, I got it to work enough so it can be shared as it's something that may be of use to others.

See http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7703.
And to "celebrate" my reaching this milestone, I sent a small PayPal donation to Don because XY helped me with this project but also for another occasion that means something to him.

j_c_hallgren, you are also an XY feature. Thanks for functioning!

+ Configuration | Fonts | Main Contents: Now you can control which
of the main controls (List, Tree, Catalog, Address Bar, Tabs)
adjust to the custom size of the Main Contents font ...

Thanks very much for adding this. I was unhappy with the recent change that unconditionally applied the main font size to the tabs since I routinely work with 20 fixed tabs and even with abbreviated renaming, there was no longer enough horizontal space to fit them in my layout. Now things are back to how I had it.

Scripting got a new command.
Name: wipe

Gracias!

Bumpophobia...

Configuration: Added button "Jump to Setting..." (F3). Shows an
alphabetically ordered list of all settings available in the
Configuration dialog, along with a live filter box. From there you
can jump directly to a setting to check or modify it.

Yeah! Ok, the highlighting doesn't look that nice (can we have an option to only
focus an entry without highlighting it?) but the feature itself.... Fantastic!

Ditto

Just tried it and it will be esp helpful to new users of XY who can get lost in all the options so making it very clear where it's at should reduce "how do I" posts here, I think.

I agree that this feature is GREAT! and wish it'd been around long ago! -- It may prove to be one of the features most useful to the most users unlike some which are more esoteric or power-user related.

EDITED: Copied original post to http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 581#p70581 to keep this thread cleaner.

Ditto. I like the highlight.

I'm not a new user and I asked for _an option_ to turn it off. Nobody said that it should be the default
