Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v8.60.0005, 08-nov-2009).

BETA versions are only available for registered users. Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

Code: Select all

v8.60.0005 - 2009-11-08 12:54
    + Configuration | File Info Tips: Added option "Show custom file 
      info tips". Before, this option was implicitly ON always. Now it's 
      by factory default OFF. Having it OFF will show the default file 
      info tips, which are exactly the ones you would see if you used 
      Windows Explorer. This has a couple of advantages:
      - You can see specific 3rd party extensions of the file info tips 
        (e.g. by MediaInfo) which are not shown in XYplorer when you 
        turn "Show custom file info tips" ON.
      - Using the default tip (and with "Show MP3 info tips" OFF), you 
        can now see the ID3v2 (XY internally only supports ID3v1) info 
        of mp3 files in the file info tip if your shell/OS supports it.
    * Configuration | File Info Tips: Increased the number of items in 
      the "custom file info tips" list, depending on OS:
      Under Vista/Win7 you will have 267 different fields now, and under 
      XP or lower 41 different fields.
      Also the indices, starting with 0 (zero), are now shown in the 
      list. You can use these indices with SC property() in scripts 
      like:
        msg property("#2"); //type of current item
    * Configuration | File Info Tips: The XYplorer-only "extra fields" 
      are now listed in a separate list.
    ! Toolbar | Undo, Action Log: Could crash on certain filenames 
      because of a buggy ellipse routine working on trimming the 
      captions. Fixed.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v8.60.0003, 07-nov-2009).

BETA versions are only available for registered users. Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

Code: Select all

v8.60.0003 - 2009-11-07 11:19
    + Color Filters: Added "Junction" to the factory default color 
      filters.
    ! Action Log: Captions had empty strings when actions were done on 
      search results. Fixed.
    ! Undo/Redo: Tree was not always correctly updated in the special 
      folders section. Fixed.
    ! Tabs: Selecting a Search Results tab so that the mouse pointer 
      ended up right on the X close button could under certain 
      conditions lead to closing that tab when releasing the mouse 
      button. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: Things like  ::html("<curitem>");  did not work anymore 
      since v8.60.0002. Fixed.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v8.60.0002, 05-nov-2009).

BETA versions are only available for registered users. Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

Code: Select all

v8.60.0002 - 2009-11-05 12:04
    + List Context Menu: Added special functionality to the context menu 
      of Junctions. You now have these extra commands:
        Go to Junction Target
        Copy Junction Target Name
    * Menu File | Settings | Save All Settings: Now this command, 
      besides saving all your settings, also writes the current Action 
      Log from memory to disk (to file "action.dat") if "Remember the 
      logged actions between sessions" is ON.
      Note that the Action Log is always saved on exit if (and only if) 
      "Remember the logged actions between sessions" is ON (even if 
      "Save settings on exit" is off).
    * Search Results: Now right-clicking multiple items in a recursive 
      (= include subfolders) search results listing will pop the Shell 
      context menu only if those items are located in the same folder. 
      Otherwise a shorter replacement menu is shown.
      Reason: The Shell commands simply do not work correctly for 
      multiple items in different locations.
    ! Crash when the Edit Text font defined in configuration was not 
      existing on the system. Fixed.
    ! List: After dragging a subfolder of the current folder Tree-to-
      Tree the List was not updated (the subfolder did not disappear 
      from the list). Fixed.

v8.50.0035 - 2009-11-01 11:24
    % Tree, Catalog, List: Improved smoothness of high resolution mouse 
      wheel scrolling.
    * Preview | MDBU: Now the blow up does not over- or underlap the 
      taskbar anymore.
    * Preview | MDBU: Improved the panning of large blow ups that don't 
      fit the view port.
    ! Statusbar: Tooltips did not always appear over the expected 
      section. Fixed.
    ! Refresh Tree added floppies even if Show Floppies was OFF since a 
      couple of weeks ago. Fixed.
    ! Rename Special | Batch Rename: A file called ".txt" was treated as 
      having no extension. Fixed: Now it's treated as TXT file with an 
      empty base name.
      This means when you rename ".txt" with pattern "new" you'll get 
      "new.txt".

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v8.50.0033, 30-oct-2009).

BETA versions are only available for registered users. Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

Code: Select all

v8.50.0033 - 2009-10-30 12:14
    * Menu File | Duplicate: From now on, the created copies are auto-
      selected (when the target path is identical with the current list 
      path). Before, the originals kept their selections.
      Exception: The command "Copy Here ("Copy of...")" where Windows 
      keeps it a secret how the copy is named.
    - Menu File | Settings: Removed "Save Action Log". Reason: Actions 
      aren't settings.
    % Improved the action captions in various ways.
    ! Catalog: Adding special path items (e.g. Desktop\Downloads\) to a 
      Category via drag-n-drop converted them silently to their real 
      path equivalents. Fixed.
    ! Undo button dropdown action log could crash under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v8.50.0029, 28-oct-2009).

BETA versions are only available for registered users. Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

Code: Select all

v8.50.0029 - 2009-10-28 11:46
    * Configuration | Undo & Action Log: Added option "Prompt before 
      delete". If checked then you are prompted before undoing Copy or 
      New, which both involve deletions. This prompting in accordance 
      with Explorer behavior and the factory default is ON.
      Also, from now on, prompts before deletions show the "warning" 
      icon as opposed to the normal "information" icon.
    * Undo: Now also partially aborted (= partially successful) actions 
      are logged. Before, only actions without any abortions (user 
      pressed "cancel" or "no" at some point during progress) were 
      logged.
      Note that on undoing a partial action you might get a message 
      about actions that cannot be undone because they never were done 
      in the first place.
      Note also that on redoing a partial action you will not in any 
      case get the same prompts as on the original action because redo 
      uses its own routines for better performance. This can mean that 
      redoing an action that was partially aborted the first time might 
      now run through without any prompts or abortions.
    * Undo Move: Now when the original path of the moved item does not 
      exist anymore, undoing the move will attempt to recreate it before 
      moving the item back to it.
    ! Variable <get username> was imperfect. Fixed.
    ! Menu File | Move/Copy/Backup To: The MRU submenus would not 
      recognize any portable paths (e.g. "?:\") or XY variables (e.g. 
      <date yyyy>) or environment variables. Fixed.

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   hexdump
      Action: Displays a string as hex dump.
      Syntax: hexdump(string, [unicode])
        string:   [required] String to display.
        unicode:  [optional]
                  0 = one byte/char [Default]
                  1 = two bytes/char
      Examples:
        text hexdump(chr(20000), 1), 700;
        text hexdump("<clipboard>", 1), 700; //show current clipboard
      Usage:
        I know it's bloat in a file manager, but it's extremely useful 
        when you want to know what's *really* on the clipboard.

      works also with batch rename.
    ! Undo Delete: Did not work on Vista/Win7. Fixed #2.
    ! Tree: Inline-renaming subfolders of special folders (Desktop etc.) 
      did not update the tab header. Fixed.
