+ Live Filter Box: Now the "Filter"-icon tooltip shows the "Last Filter",
the one you toggle when you left-click this icon.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all

v21.70.0118 - 2021-05-07 11:10
+ Favorite Live Filters: Now you can remove a FLF by holding CTRL while you
click on it in the right-click menu of the "Filter"-icon. This is a cooler
alternative to yesterday's way: First select the LF and then click "Toggle
Favorite Live Filter".
Code: Select all
v21.70.0117 - 2021-05-06 20:41
+ Live Filter Box: Added Favorite Live Filters functionality. You'll find a
new command "Toggle Favorite Live Filter" in the right-click menu of the
"Filter"-icon. By this command you can add or remove the current Live
Filter pattern to an array of Favorite Live Filters which is displayed at
the bottom of that same menu. This array can hold up to 32 patterns. It's
automatically sorted alphabetically.
Clicking such a Favorite Live Filter will feed the pattern into the box
and filter the list accordingly.
Whether these Favorite Live Filters are saved in the INI-file is
controlled by the same setting that controls the saving of the Visual
Filters MRU:
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Include
most-recently-used lists on save: Visual Filters
Note that the Favorite Live Filters are global (same list in all tabs),
where the last used Live Filter (used by "Toggle Live Filter") is stored
per tab.

v21.70.0116 - 2021-05-06 15:25
+ Startup: Since v21.70.0115 the default startup sequence is to first show
the main window and then load the slow tree icon overlays. If for some
reason you want the old behavior back you can use this new tweak:
TreeIconsEarlyLoad=1
+ Branch View: To exclude whole sub-branches, e.g. ".git" folders and their
contents, from a Branch View you could use this pattern in the Live Filter
Box (if "Live Filter Box | Enable extended pattern matching" is ON):
path:!.git
Now this alternative pattern works as well:
!.git\
In both cases the full path (with trailing slash) of each item is matched
with *.git\*.
BTW, if you only want to exclude items *directly* under ".git" folders you
would use any of these patterns:
path:!*.git
!*.git\
FYI, the new syntax also works in a Visual Filter.

v21.70.0115 - 2021-05-05 18:26
+ List: Now a manual sort order is indicated by a small "hand" character
(Unicode U+270B) in the Name column header.
% SC get loadtimes: Improved logging concerning loading tree folders.
% Startup: Experimentally icon overlays in the tree are now loaded only
after the app is shown. So you can already look at the situation while the
icon work is being done.
Code: Select all
v21.70.0114 - 2021-05-05 12:31
+ List: Now the random sort order is indicated by a small "dice" character
(Unicode U+2684) in the Name column header. It's hard to recognize in
point 9 fonts but at least you can see the list not normally sorted and
it's not manually sorted.
+ Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons |
Folder contents preview (aka Mouse Up Show Down): Now it supports the
mouse wheel even when the mouse pointer is not over the popup list. Cool!
+ Breadcrumb Bars: Same as above for the dropdown lists.
+ Mouse Up Show Down: Now it pops upwards or downwards wherever there is
more available space. Before, there was a preference for popping
downwards. The goal here is to make the visible part of the list as large
as possible.

! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Dropped Messages: The
format template was ignored under certain conditions. Fixed.
> Dropping Messages: Debug logging removed.
! Extracting Non-Zip Archives: Under certain conditions 7zFM.exe, the 7-Zip
file manager was opened instead of the command line tool 7z.exe. Fixed.

v21.70.0110 - 2021-05-04 12:56
+ Extracting Non-Zip Archives: The following semi-documented script command
displays the status quo concerning all those Zip variables and tweaks:
Syntax: r7 [use7z]
use7z: 0=prefer WinRAR over 7-Zip for extraction
1=prefer 7-Zip over WinRAR for extraction
Examples:
r7; //show state
r7 0; //set "prefer WinRAR" and show state
r7 1; //set "prefer 7-Zip" and show state
> Tip: If you want even WinZip-archives (*.zip) to be extracted by 7-Zip or
WinRAR you add "zip" to this list of extensions:
ZipExtWinRAR=".7z.ace.arj.bz2.cab.gz.iso.jar.lzh.rar.tar.uue.xz.z.zip.
! Configuration | General | Controls & More | Auto-Complete Path Names |
Filter: Since 20210113 this dropdown was not correctly preselected. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.70.0109 - 2021-05-03 21:31
+ Extracting Non-Zip Archives: Now additionally to WinRAR also 7-Zip can be
used as extracting app, so you don't need WinRAR when you have 7-Zip.
Notes:
- 7-Zip does not seem to support Unicode in the archive name; well, it
might just be my outdated version 9.20 from 2010.
- If you have both WinRAR and 7-Zip then WinRAR is used for extraction.

v21.70.0106 - 2021-05-02 13:00
! Custom Context Menu | Zip: The command "Extract Here" did not work yet
within a Paper Folder. Fixed.
! Video Preview: Since 20210325 video formats that can also be just audio
(eg mp4, asf) would not be previewed anymore uner certain conditions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.70.0105 - 2021-05-02 11:52
+ Custom Context Menu | Zip: Now the commands "Extract Here" and "Extract to
[folder]" are also available within a Paper Folder.
+ Drag and Drop Context Menu: Now "Extract Here" also supports RAR files
(WinRAR has to be installed), and it will extract all dragged files (not
only the focused one). Note that you can extract ZIP and RAR files in one
go, and they can be from different locations.
+ Now the new RAR extraction support extends to all extensions supported by
WinRAR. You can tweak the list of extensions at this INI-key (below you
see the factory default extensions) in case later WinRAR versions make
this necessary or possible:
ZipExtWinRAR=.7z.ace.arj.bz2.cab.gz.iso.jar.lzh.rar.tar.uue.xz.z.
Note that listing the contents (e.g. in Hover Box) is still limited to the
RAR extension. For some reason (bug?) UnRAR.exe (which is the only file
within the WinRAR package that seems to support content listing) does not
do the job for any of the other extensions.
! Paper Folders: The status bar message "paper folder saved" came also when
the Paper Folder was not really saved to disk (Explicit Save Only). Fixed.
Now it comes only on a real save.
