v8.90.0002 - 2010-03-12 10:43
* Shell Integration: Rewrote more code concerning setting and
removing XYplorer as Default File Manager.
Code: Select all
v8.90.0001 - 2010-03-11 21:38
+ Rename Special: Added command
Remove Diacritics (ä > a ...)
Strips any diacritical marks from the letters in the selected item
names.
* Scripting: Experimentally it is now disallowed to minimize the
application while a script is running. Reason: Any modal forms
popped by a script while the application is minimized would block
the application.
! SC load: Did not support special path syntax like in
::load "Desktop\copy.xys";
Fixed.

v8.80.0338 - 2010-03-07 12:53
+ Scripting got a new command.
Name: beep
Action: Generates a simple tone on the motherboard speaker.
Syntax: beep [frequency=800], [duration=200]
frequency: The frequency of the sound, in hertz. This parameter
must be in the range 37 through 32,767.
Defaults to 800.
duration: The duration of the sound, in milliseconds.
Defaults to 200.
Example:
::beep 800,100; beep 400,100; beep 600,100;
Note:
The function is synchronous; it does not return control to its
caller until the sound finishes.
Win7 will send the tone through the soundcard.

v8.80.0337 - 2010-03-06 09:23
+ SC resolvepath enhanced: Added parameter abs2rel.
Syntax: resolvepath([path], [base=<xypath>\], [abs2rel])
path: relative or portable path
if empty or missing the function returns base
base: base path; defaults to <xypath>\
abs2rel: 0 = normal function
1 = reversed function: path is absolute,
return path is relative to base
return: absolute or relative path (dep. on abs2rel)
+ Titlebar: Now the TitlebarTemplate tweak supports all XY native
variables. So when you feel like it you can add lots of info to
your titlebar now, like <date>, <xydrive>, <get pane> etc.
Remember that the <app> variable is mandatory, else your tweak is
reset to the internal default: "<path> - <app> @ <ini> - <ver>"
Code: Select all
v8.80.0336 - 2010-03-05 10:50
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: resolvepath
Action: Converts a relative or portable path to an absolute path.
Syntax: resolvepath([path], [base=<xypath>\])
path: relative or portable path
if empty or missing the function returns base
base: base path; defaults to <xypath>\
return: absolute path
Examples:
Assuming <xypath> = C:\Program Files\XYplorer:
::echo resolvepath(); //C:\Program Files\XYplorer\
::echo resolvepath("foo"); //C:\Program Files\XYplorer\foo
::echo resolvepath("foo\"); //C:\Program Files\XYplorer\foo\
::echo resolvepath("\foo"); //C:\foo
::echo resolvepath("\foo\");//C:\foo\
::echo resolvepath("\"); //C:\
::echo resolvepath(".."); //C:\Program Files
::echo resolvepath("?:"); //C:
::echo resolvepath("?:\"); //C:\
::echo resolvepath("?:\foo\bar\"); //C:\foo\bar\
::echo resolvepath("?:", "D:\foo\bar\"); //D:
::echo resolvepath("foo", "D:\foo\bar\"); //D:\foo\bar\foo
::echo resolvepath("", "D:\foo\bar\"); //D:\foo\bar\
+ New variable: <xydrive> = XYplorer's drive (unslashed).
Examples:
- C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe
<xydrive> returns C:
- \\Server\Share\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe
<xydrive> returns \\Server\Share
* Info Panel: Orange button menus now pop at a position so that a
second click at the same coordinates will close them.
Also added a "Cancel" item to the bottom.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0331 - 2010-03-04 15:19
+ Scripting got a new command.
Name: Sound
Action: Plays a sound.
Syntax: sound [sound], [loop], [event]
sound: file or label
leave empty to stop any sound
loop: 0 = don't loop
1 = loop
event: 0 = sound is a *.wav file
1 = sound is an event label
Examples:
::sound "F:\Fun\sounds\ted_stranglehold.wav";
::sound <curitem>, 1; //loop the current WAV file
::sound; // stop any playing sound
::sound "SystemHand", , 1; //system error sound
Notes:
Event labels can be found in your registry here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\<EVENTLABEL>
+ Rename Special | Search and Replace: Now you can specify
lists with units larger than one character. Also different
lengths of old a new string are now allowed in such lists.
To enable this functionality simply separate the individual
units with | (pipe).
Examples:
Ä|Ö|Ü|ä|ö|ü>>Ae|Oe|Ue|ae|oe|ue
&| |->>and|space|hyphen
Copy|of>>Kopie|von
Any excess units on either side are ignored.
! Configuration | Shell Integration: Disabling "XYplorer is default
file manager" did not work correctly. Fixed #2.
+ Find Files | Contents: Now you can search for Unicode text.
! Find Files | Contents: Would not handle files with wide (Unicode)
characters in the name or path. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0328 - 2010-03-03 12:33
! Configuration | Shell Integration: Disabling "XYplorer is default
file manager" did not work correctly. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0327 - 2010-03-03 11:49
* Configuration | Shell Integration: Now shell special folders like
"Control Panel" are still opened in Explorer whereas normal file
system directories and drives are opened in XYplorer.
! Pane-to-pane drop onto folders, executables, and other drop
targets did not reset the target selection afterwards. Fixed.
! Toolbar: Fixed more glitches with the new overflow dropdown.
! POM: Would not reliably retrieve the OS-associated application for
items with extensions longer than 3 characters. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0326 - 2010-03-02 20:06
* Address Bar and other controls that might share a row with the
Toolbar: Now their minimal width defaults to 400 pixels -- we have
the space now because we have the overflow dropdown!
You can tweak this number in the INI file under this key:
ToolbarKeepOff=400
! Toolbar: Fixed some glitches with the new overflow dropdown.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0325 - 2010-03-02 15:44
+ Toolbar: Now it has an overflow dropdown. The nice thing is that
you can freely combine it with the toolbar scrolling feature.
* List: The vertical Hot Scroll Zone (the zone where dragging-over
scrolls the list up or down) is now at most 8 pixels high on top
and bottom of the list. Further, in a list with a smaller number
of visible rows the scrolling is now slowed down somewhat.
BTW, remember that Hot Scrolling in XY only happens in the left
third of the list.
% Faster startup!
! Info Panel: Pause and Stop buttons were missing. Back.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0322 - 2010-02-27 22:47
* Layout: Now the Address Bar keeps a somewhat higher minimal width
(raised from 64 to 100 pixels) and is not pushed out to the right
of the window anymore by the Toolbar.
! Info Panel: Orange button was gone for some days. Back.
! Recycle Bin: Memory leak since v8.80.0321. Fixed.
! Recycle Bin: List selection glitch. Fixed.
! Recycle Bin: Flicker when showing a larger list. Removed.
! Toolbar: Tooltips lagged 1 pixel behind hover effect. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0321 - 2010-02-26 15:36
*** Recycle Bin: Rewritten from scratch. The issue with the slow
context menu should be fixed now.
! Recycle Bin: Did not always auto-refresh when multiple files or
folders were restored from within the Recycle Bin. Fixed.
+ Configuration | Backup & Report | Backup Operations: Added option
"Pop up stats when done". Check to pop up a summary message about
what was copied / overwritten / not overwritten.
+ SC backupto enhanced: Added parameter pop_stats.
Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision], _
[preserve_dates], [create_log], [pop_stats]
preserve_dates:
(only applied if the file itself is copied)
Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
0 = Whether/which dates are copied depends on OS.
1 = All three dates are copied.
create_log:
Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
0 = Don't.
1 = Do.
pop_stats:
Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
0 = Don't.
1 = Do.
Example:
// backup selected items; on collision suffix date now;
// preserve dates; create log; popup stats
backupto "E:\Test", , 5, 1, 1, 1;
+ Added extented NTFS attribute "Offline" (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE)
to the attributes on the Properties tab and on the Attributes tab
(Find Files), and to the Attributes column in the list.
+ Configuration | Colors | Color Filters: Added color coding by file
attribute "Offline" (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE). Use this pattern:
/offline (or /o) -> matches all items with
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE set
! Toolbar: Error on wheeling the toolbar when Toolbar scrolling was
disabled on startup. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0320 - 2010-02-25 22:07
+++ Toolbar: Now it can be scrolled. Drag it with left or right mouse
button. Or wheel it.
Drag fast and you get a bit of animation when you release the
mouse button.
You turn scrolling ON/OFF in Customize Toolbar at the new checkbox
"Toolbar can be scrolled". Factory default is OFF.
When you OK the Customize Toolbar dialog the scroll position is
reset to initial.
The scroll position is not stored between sessions. Might be added
in future though.
* Toolbar: Added buttons "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out", which let you
control the font size of Tree, List, Catalog, and Address Bar.
Credits and thanks go to http://www.visualpharm.com/
* Toolbar: The "Find" button now opens the Find Files tab (like
Ctrl+F). Before it actually started a search (like F3).
The is the expected behavior when you come from any other file
manager and it's even the better behavior.
* Toolbar: New factory default button layout. (You can reset to
factory default by using "Remove All" in Customize Toolbar.)
Code: Select all
v8.80.0318 - 2010-02-21 19:24
* Removed the "Upgrade Keyboard Shortcuts?" prompt at startup. Now
when upgrading to a version with new functions with default
keyboard shortcuts (that is, new compared to your last version),
these new KS are automatically and silently assigned if they are
not already used otherwise.
! Edit | Copy crashed on w2kpro SP4+. Fixed #2.
Code: Select all
v8.80.0317 - 2010-02-21 15:07
+ Configuration: Added new section "Shell Integration". The option
""XYplorer" in shell context menu" moved here from section
"Advanced", and there is a new option "XYplorer is default file
manager". Check the latter to make double-clicking drives or
folders open them in XYplorer. The latter option is logically and
technically subordinated to the former.
Note that changes in these settings will take immediate effect and
modify the registry of the host system.
Note that non-file special folders like "Control Panel" are not
yet supported and will instead open the MyComputer node.
* CKS Dialog | Options | Reset Unused Shortcuts To Defaults...: Now
you get a list of all reset functions/shortcuts when the job is
done.
! Edit | Copy crashed on w2kpro SP4+ since v8.80.0303 - 2010-02-13
20:39. Fixed.
