Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v23.60.0111 - 2022-09-24 17:26
    + Preview Tab and Preview Pane | Icon Preview and Font Preview: Now you can scroll the 
      preview using the mouse wheel (if there is something to scroll, ie if scrollbars are 
      visible). The horizontal wheel is supported as well, and horizontal scrolling can be 
      enforced by holding SHIFT while wheeling over the preview pane.
    + Catalog: Now when you click on a catalog item, the icon is updated automatically. 
      Indicates whether a file has been deleted in the meantime (icon changes to a 
      question mark) or restored. Keeps the icon of used items fresh without having to 
      manually update catalog icons completely.
    % App Icon: Polished some more pixels in the 16x16 version.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0202.
    ! Help | About XYplorer: The copyright sign © did not work with the Chinese and some 
      other code pages; it just showed as ?. Fixed.
    ! Status Bar | Vertical Swipe Toggles the Info Panel: Up-swipe did not work well when 
      the Info Panel was showing the Preview or the Raw View tab. Fixed.
: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.

    + Tweak IconFile: Now you can specify the selector for the embedded icon resource. The 
      default is "AAA", but now you can tweak it to "BBB" to use the old BlackOrange icon 
      within the app interface (i.e. mainly in all the window title bars; it won't change 
      the icon associated with the executable file when seen from the outside; however, at 
      least in Win 8.1, the alternative icon is also inherited by the task bar).
        IconFile=BBB
    ! Fonts: Fixed some display and configuration bugs related to bold, semibold, and 
      regular fonts and switching between them.

v23.60.0115 - 2022-09-25 21:53
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: AppIcon
      Action: Lets you pick the app icon on the fly.
      Syntax: appicon [selector]
        selector:
          "BBB": use the alternative icon (the old icon)
          "AAA" or anything else: use the standard icon (the new icon)
          missing: pop a dialog showing the choices
      Remarks: 
        - You have a choice between the old and the new icon. Both are icon resources 
          embedded in the executable.
        - The choice is remembered across sessions.
        - This setting uses the INI key "IconFile".
      Examples:
        appicon; //pop a dialog showing the choices
        appicon "AAA"; //select new icon
        appicon "BBB"; //select old icon
    * Tweak IconFile: Now used by the above resource selector. You can still use it in the 
      old way (state a file spec, cf v9.00.0017 - 2010-04-16 16:00), but it will be 
      overwritten if you OK SC appicon.

    ! Color Filters: Since 20220921 the filter attr:junction did not work anymore. Fixed. 
      This was related to the change of the letter from J to L. Now it works again with 
      "junction" or any word starting with L (or l). :)
  >>> Removed special debug code.

    + App Icon: Now also the blue version of the new icon is embedded in the exe.
    + SC appicon: Added the blue version of the new icon.
      Syntax: appicon [selector]
        selector:
          "AAA": Use the standard icon (the new icon).
          "AAB": Use the blue version of the new icon.
          "BBB": Use the alternative icon (the old icon).
          other: Same as "AAA".
          missing: Pop a dialog showing the choices.
    % App Icon: Polished some more pixels in the 16x16 version.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0203.
    * List: Now when sorting by a Type that combines various extensions, eg "JPEG image", 
      then all files with the same extensions (eg first all JPG, then all JPEG) are 
      grouped together and then (secondary-)sorted by the filename.
      Previously, they were all mixed and just (secondary-)sorted by the filename.
    ! SC appicon: Dialog did not scale with custom scaling. Should be fixed (air code).
    ! Custom File Icons: Since 20220915 some icons, e.g. those from exectuables, were not 
      replaced by any defined CFIs anymore. Fixed.
    ! Admin Settings | Fixed Mini Tree: FixedMiniTree=1 crashed on startup since 20220914. Fixed.

v23.70.0007 - 2022-09-27 20:07
    + Color Filters: Now the no-extension pattern is supported here as well (as already in 
      Visual Filters, Live Filters, Ghost Filters, Custom File Icons, Quick Search, and 
      File Find). This pattern matches all files without extension:
        *.
    % App Icon: Now the 20x20 and 24x24 versions are also front-only (like the 16x16) 
      instead of the whole box. So the title bar icons in 125% and 150% now all look like 
      the 16x16 one in 100%.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0205.

    ! Thumbnail Creation: In v23.60.0016 - 2022-09-15 13:01 I experimentally started using 
      the flag SIIGBF_BIGGERSIZEOK. This experiment failed. It lead to weird jumpy sizes 
      with PDF Hover Boxes and MDBU (very small when bounding box <= 256, else very 
      large). Fixed by removing the flag again. It didn't bring anything good anyway.

      truncated if they are too long. Here it is not necessary.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0208.

    ! EXIF Properties: In a particularly strange anomaly, the GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude 
      properties sometimes returned invalid values for the same files on the same calls 
      (this shouldn't happen on a computer). Instead of "521623793/11930464 0/1 0/1" 
      something like "8388609/1 1/107206800 24/0" was returned.
        echo get("exif", 0x0002); //GPSLatitude
        echo get("exif", 0x0004); //GPSLongitude
      Fixed in a crude way. I keep calling (up to 5 times) that value until it looks good.
