      anymore since v25.70.0111. Fixed.

      weeks ago. Fixed.

  +++ Multi Line Toolbar: Now you can have as many toolbar lines as you want. Just press 
      New Line in Tools | Customize Toolbar.
      Especially nice: In dark mode, you can now have a dark menu bar above the buttons 
      (while hiding the original menu bar).
    ! Thumbnails: Overlay was misplaced on thumbnails smaller than 48x48. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: The v25.70.0101 change still had some undesirable consequences 
      (unresponsive progress window). Fixed. Removed it completely from the factory 
      defaults (no change is made for upgraders). You can still tweak it (CustomCopyNoDoEvents).

v25.70.0107 - 2024-03-16 16:41
    + SC dark enhanced: Now you can adjust the dark tint.
      Syntax: dark [enable=-1], [darkness=-1], [text_contrast=-1], [adaptive=-1], [tint=-1]
        tint: Tint of the darkness.
              Valid values are 0 to 360 (0 = no tint).
      Examples:
        dark 4:=220; //blue tint
        dark 4:=120; //green tint
        dark 4:=20;  //brown tint
    * Configuration: As an experiment, buttons now increase their height when the "Button 
      and Labels" font size is increased.
    ! Custom Copy: The v25.70.0101 change had some undesirable consequences when copying 
      huge files. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0252.

    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: Swapped the text colors:
      - Red with yellow text:       Invalid filename!
      - Red with white text:        Name is too long!
      Invalid filename is the only case where renaming is impossible, so it gets a special 
      text color.
    ! Icon Preview: Icons with non-square dimensions were not previewed. Fixed.

Release Notes: https://www.xyplorer.com/release.php

Code: Select all

v25.70.0000 - 2024-03-12 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Permanent Custom Sort Order Per Folder. Now a custom sort order, created by freely 
      sorting the files in a folder by dragging them to the desired positions, can be 
      remembered per folder. Whenever you reopen that folder, it will be in the same 
      custom sort order. Windows hasn't supported this since Windows 7, but now it's back 
      in XYplorer and it's here to stay.
  +++ Zero Padding. Now it is easy to add zeros to numbers in file names during batch 
      renaming. Turn track_1.mp3, track_2.mp3, track_10.mp3 into track_01.mp3, 
      track_02.mp3, track_10.mp3 with a single click and restore a reasonable order in 
      your playlists.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v25.60.0111 - 2024-03-11 10:21
    + Native Variables | <pad ...>: Revised the syntax and added a way to pad the 
      first/last number in a string. The number padding is actually more of a command than 
      a variable, but the variable form makes it nicely usable in Batch Rename.
      Syntax: <pad length [char] [flags]>
        length: Final length of the padded string, or of the padded number within the 
                string (depends on the flags).
        char:   Character to pad with.
                If missing it defaults to " " (space).
                Note that strings longer than one character are supported, although it's 
                hard to see a good use for this.
        flags:  b = only work on the base of a filename (exclude the extension)
                n = pad the first (left-most) number in the string
                nr = pad the last (right-most) number in the string
      Examples:
        echo "ab<pad 12>cd";          //ab        cd          --> pad char defaults to space
        echo "ab<pad 12 ->cd";        //ab--------cd
        echo "ab<pad 12 xy>cd";       //abxyxyxyxycd          --> works, but useful?
        echo "<pad 8 0>98.mkv";       //0098.mkv
        echo "<pad 8 0>64.mpeg";      //064.mpeg              --> probably not wanted
        echo "<pad 4 0 b>98.mkv";     //0098.mkv
        echo "<pad 4 0 b>64.mpeg";    //0064.mpeg             --> nice
        echo "64<pad 4 0 b>.mpeg";    //6400.mpeg
      Examples for number padding:
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 1.";      //Text 0001.
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 12.";     //Text 0012.
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 123.";    //Text 0123.
        echo "<pad 4 0 n>Text 12 34.";  //Text 0012 34.       --> first number is padded
        echo "<pad 4 0 nr>Text 12 34."; //Text 12 0034.       --> last number is padded
      Examples of use in Batch Rename (note that the asterisk is necessary, though its 
      position is irrelevant):
        - Pattern: <pad 4 0 n>*         = (only the left-most number is padded)
          Old Name:                     New Name:
