    * SC obfuscate: Now you can obfuscate spaces or strings surrounded by 
      spaces. Was not possible before.
      Example (to make spaces stand out rather than obfuscate them, in this 
      case):
        obfuscate , chr(0x258E), " "; //0x258E = LEFT ONE QUARTER BLOCK
    * Softer (lighter) borders on various small lists and dropdowns.

    * Tab Headers: Changed the part of the behavior advertised as "cool" in 
      v5.50.0008 - 2007-01-06 12:26 because it's simply counterintuitive from 
      today's (or probably any day's) POV. Now the path selected from the 
      breadcrumb menu is injected into the right-clicked tab, not into the 
      current tab.

Code: Select all

v17.00.0000 - 2016-07-11 15:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Live Filter Box. The most desired feature since Dual Pane. Now it's here. 
      Filter as you type.
  +++ Content Search. Now you can run a content search via inline switch.
  +++ Stronger Tree Lines. Optionally have lines drawn solid instead of dotted.
  +++ Precise Obfuscation. Define the strings you want to obfuscate. Can also 
      help in severe cases of umlaut-phobia.

    + SC savethumb: Now you can pass the desired JPG quality value in the format 
      argument by simply appending the value to the format tag "jpg" (like with 
      the ImageFromClipFormat tweak). Allowed values are 1 (lowest quality) thru 
      100 (highest quality). The quality value only affects JPGs and is ignored 
      for all other formats.
      Examples:
        savethumb(, "*_t", 750, , "jpg1", 7, 1);   //minimum quality (1)
        savethumb(, "*_t", 750, , "jpg001", 7, 1); //minimum quality (1), works as well
        savethumb(, "*_t", 750, , "jpg", 7, 1);    //good default quality (90)
        savethumb(, "*_t", 750, , "jpg100", 7, 1); //maximum quality (100)
      FYI, I raised the default JPG quality from 75 to 90. 75 was just too bad.
    ! Color Filters: A Boolean filter like "*.jpg and size: > 5 MB" was matching 
      all folders > 5 MB (regardless of their name!) if folder sizes were shown. 
      Fixed.

v17.00.0006 - 2016-07-13 12:35
    ! Various small issues with Live Filter Box related scripting and documentation:
      - SC Get('#675') is not documented.
      - SC Get('FocusedControl') returns 'X' for other which is acting per 
        documented but less than ideal.
      - SC ControlAtPos() with the mouse over the Live Filter Box returns 'LFB', 
        but this is not included as an option in the documentation.
      - SC ControlPosition('LFB') does not return anything even when LFB is 
        visible.
      - SC Focus('LFB') focuses the tree instead of the LFB.
      All fixed.
    * Updated the help file.

    + SC savethumb: Added a variable as placeholder for the applied JPG quality.
      Example:
        savethumb(, "*-Q<quality>", 300, , "jpg100"); // 300x300 square JPG, quality 100
    * Updated the help file.
    ! SC new: Would not create target folders on the fly for types "link", 
      "hardlink", "symlink", or "junction". Fixed.

    * Scripting: Normally in XYplorer, holding SHIFT while going to a new 
      location will open that location in a new tab. This behavior is now 
      suppressed when the location change is triggered by a script.
    ! Branch View: A Branch View triggered via /flat switch would be applied to 
      any selected subfolder(s) instead of the folder passed with the switch. 
      This should not happen. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Styles | Selections: Changing this setting would partly 
      reset user-defined colors in ways that would make the contents of controls 
      unreadable under certain conditions. Fixed.

v17.00.0010 - 2016-07-15 11:29      
    + SC getpathcomponent (gpc) enhanced: Now you can return the beginning or 
      end of the input string depending on a new parameter "flags":
      Syntax: getpathcomponent([path], [component], [index=1], [flags])
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Return from start
          2 = Return till end
      Remarks:
        These flags only apply if component is set to "component".
      Examples:
        text gpc("D:\Users\%USERNAME%\Music", "component", -2, 0);  //Donald
        text gpc("D:\Users\%USERNAME%\Music", "component", -2, 1);  //D:\Users\Donald
        text gpc("D:\Users\%USERNAME%\Music", "component", -2, 2);  //Donald\Music
    + SC CopyData enhanced: Added a mode to pass a location to another XYplorer 
      instance.
      Syntax: copydata hwnd, data, mode
        mode:
            3: Pass the value of the data argument as location to another 
               XYplorer instance. Whatever XYplorer accepts in the Address Bar 
               is acceptable here.
      Examples:
        - Go to "C:\" in the XYplorer instance with hWnd 525048:
            copydata 525048, "C:\", 3;
        - Go to the current path of this instance:
            copydata 525048, <curpath>, 3;
        - Run a script (note that the command only returns when the script is 
          completed in the other instance!):
            copydata 525048, 'echo "hi!";', 3;
    > Note for DEVELOPERS:
      The mode parameter in SC CopyData simply selects different dwData:
      - If called with mode 3 then
          cds.dwData == 4194307 (0x00400003)
          = Go to the location passed in cds.lpData.
      So any application can use these dwData values to trigger a
      specific reaction in XYplorer when it receives data via
      WM_COPYDATA.

    + Custom Columns: Increased their number from 32 to 64.
    + List | Selections Context Menu | Move Up: Now "Move Up" also works for 
      multiple items in different locations, e.g. in recursive search results. 
      Each selected item is moved one up in its own path.
    ! SC setting/settingp: Named argument "cachethumbsreadonly" did not really 
      work (only the interface reacted, not the logic). Fixed.

    * Special Properties: Property "Date Taken" (#image.datetaken) now only 
      draws on Exif Tag 0x9003 (DateTimeOriginal).
      Before, it fell back to Exif Tag 0x0132 (DateTime) if DateTimeOriginal was 
      not available. Disadvantage of the fall back strategy: a blurred relation 
      between display and reality.

    * Portable Devices: When dragging a larger number of items from a Portable 
      Device there could be quite a delay before the drag cursor was shown. 
      During this delay no wait cursor or other feedback was displayed. However, 
      the desired operation would potentially (this seems to depend on the 
      device) not happen if you released the mouse before the drag cursor was 
      shown.
      Now, a wait cursor is shown during this delay. TIP: Release the mouse 
      button only when the wait cursor is gone and the drag cursor is shown.
    - History: Removed this feature from v8.80.0013 - 2010-01-08 22:33:
        History: Now the sort order is stored with History. If you return- 
        by-history to a location you have visited during the current session, 
        the location's previous sort order is restored.
      Reason: Not consistent with general app behavior, hence confusing.

v17.00.0105 - 2016-08-15 18:02
    + Added tweak "AutoRichFileOps" to control Automatic Rich File Operations 
      (i.e., what happens when you copy/move files from multiple locations to 
      one location).
        AutoRichFileOps=[value]
                          0 = ask
                          1 = always
                          2 = never
      The "Rich Copy?" prompt offers a way to go from value 0 to value 1 or 2. 
      However, to go back to 0 you have to tweak the INI file.
    * SC syncselect: Added a way to select files in both panes (which is already 
      possible through the normal non-scripting UI). The parameter 
      "inactivepane" has been renamed to "direction".
      Syntax: syncselect([command], [justcalc], [ignoreextensions], [mode], [direction])
        direction:
          0: [Default] Select items on active pane based on items on 
             inactive pane.
          1: Select items on inactive pane based on items on active 
             pane.
          2: Select items in both directions.
      Example:
        syncselect('SelectUniquesAndNewer', 0, 0, 'n', 2); //"Select Unique and Newer" on both panes
