v21.00.0013 - 2020-09-12 20:10
* Toolbar: Slightly changed the background colors of pressed buttons in Dark
Mode.
* Preview64: Updated to 1.0.0.15.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all
Or wear a mask! 
v21.00.0012 - 2020-09-12 13:22
+ Quick Search: Lifted yesterday's tweak to UI. Now the Quick Search dialog
has a little button where you can toggle the mode: "Quick Search" (using
default settings) or "Find Files" (using the current settings on the Find
Files tab).
Notes:
- If Name & Location happens to be unticked on the Find Files tab it will
be silently ticked.
- Contrary to the previous release notes this setting is NOT honored
anymore in Find Files mode:
Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find
Files | Show quick search results in current tab
Reason: Go all the way.
! Mouse Down Blow Up: MDBU on thumbnails had stopped working for videos.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0011 - 2020-09-11 19:40
+ Quick Search: Added tweak to turn the Quick Search dialog into a remote
control of the Find Files tab.
FindNameSearchToFindFiles=1
If set to 1 the dialog is called "Find Files" and shows the icon of the
"Find Files" toolbar button. The entered pattern and the current location
are injected into the Find Files interface (even when the tab is not
visible), and all the current settings of the Find Files tab are
effective, just as if you had entered that name pattern right into the
tab.
An obvious use case is to do Quick Search while honoring all the settings
on the Name and Location tab, and also the Excluded folders.
Notes:
- This setting is honored by this pseudo Quick Search: Configuration |
Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Show quick
search results in current tab
- The pattern is stored in the Quick Search MRU list.
- When this tweak is set then the FindNameSearchNoRecurse tweak is
ignored.
* Preview64: Updated to 1.0.0.14.
! Message Drop: One or more superfluous space characters were possible in
the dropped <subject>. Fixed.
FYI, https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt has 13 pages and they mean it.
! Find Files | Excluded: When renaming excluded items, the inline edit box
did not comply to Dark Mode colors. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0010 - 2020-09-10 19:13
+ Status Bar Buttons: From now on the "Background Jobs" button is only shown
when background processing is enabled (Configuration | File Operations |
File Operations | Background Processing | Enable background processing).
Saves space, reduces irrelevant information, and tells you whether
background processing is enabled.
* Main Window: Apparently changes in screen resolution are not registered
when minimized. Experimentally the main window is now adjusted to the
current screen resolution when it's restored from minimized.
* Preview64: Made it more robust against crashes when a file disappeared
while being previewed.
* Preview64: Updated to 1.0.0.13.
! Toolbar: Buttons that would be hidden depending on "Configuration | Other
| Features" re-appeared when switching Dark/Light Mode. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0009 - 2020-09-09 13:28
+ Message Drop: Added support for more charsets in the subject line. So when
your template at "Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Dropped
Messages" contains <subject> you might see an improvement with certain
Chinese and Japanese encodings when dropping a message file to XYplorer.
! Message Drop: The Base64-decoding had an error that could result in
garbled message subjects. Fixed.
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: Base64Decode
Action: Decodes a Base64-encoded string or file.
Syntax: base64decode(text, [file], [targetfile])
text: text to decode
ignored if "file" is not empty
file: if not empty: file to decode
path defaults to current path
targetfile: if not empty: write decoded bytes to this file
path defaults to current path
on exist file is overwritten without asking
return: decoded string
Examples:
text base64decode("Ki4/"); // *.?
text base64decode(, "Base64.txt"); //(input from file) *.? (if the file contains "Ki4/")
text base64decode("Ki4/", , "Text.txt"); //write output "*.?" to file
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: Base64Encode
Action: Encodes a string or file content in Base64.
Syntax: base64encode(text, [file], [targetfile])
text: text to encode
ignored if "file" is not empty
file: if not empty: file to encode
path defaults to current path
targetfile: if not empty: write decoded bytes to this file (full path spec)
path defaults to current path
on exist file is overwritten without asking
return: encoded string
Examples:
text base64encode("*.?"); // Ki4/
text base64encode(, "Text.txt"); //(input from file) Ki4/ (if the file contains "*.?")
text base64encode("*.?", , "Base64.txt"); //write output "Ki4/" to file
% 64-bit Preview: Removed the short flicker when using 64-bit preview or
thumbnails.
* Preview64: Updated to 1.0.0.12.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0008 - 2020-09-08 19:39
+ Preview: Added *.afphoto (Serif Affinity Photo) to Image Files, *.afdesign
(Serif Affinity Designer) to Office Files, and *.afpub (Affinity Publisher
Document) also to Office Files. All three are also in "Preview as
Thumbnail" now.
+ Preview Tab: Now shows "Previewed as thumbnail. 64-bit." when a 64-bit
ThumbnailProvider was used to create the preview.
! Mouse Down Blow Up: MDBU on thumbnails stopped working since last version.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0007 - 2020-09-08 15:22
* Configuration: Renamed "File Info Tips" to "File Info Tips & Hover Box".
! Preview as Thumbnail: Fixed some glitches.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0006 - 2020-09-08 10:44
+ Mouse Down on Thumbnails and Icons: Now supports "Preview as Thumbnail"
with 32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders.
* Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories | Preview as
Thumbnail: Changed the logic. All files listed here are now also listed in
any of the other categories (Office Files, Image Files...) where they
belong by nature. But being listed and ticked in "Preview as Thumbnail"
takes *priority* when it comes to a preview. The by-nature-listings are
relevant in other areas, e.g. content search.
So, this is the order of category precedence when previewing files:
1. User-Defined Preview Handlers
2. Preview as Thumbnail
3. Text Files
4. Office Files
...
9. Video Files
! Contents Search: The above change fixes an issue that arose yesterday
where ODT files could not be content searched anymore.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0005 - 2020-09-07 18:49
+++ 64-bit Preview: Some file types, e.g. WebP graphic files (WEBP),
SolidWorks files (SLDASM, SLDDRW, SLDPRT) or OpenOffice files (ODP, ODS,
ODT), implement their preview not via PreviewHandlers but via
ThumbnailProviders. This has always been supported for 32-bit
ThumbnailProviders.
However, sometimes those ThumbnailProviders are only provided in the
64-bit flavor (e.g. SolidWorks). This works now as well. So SolidWorks (a
major 3D-CAD-Program) previews are supported now.
> Note: At least one of these options has to be ticked to enable the
fallback to 64-bit ThumbnailProviders:
- Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Use 64-bit
preview handlers for preview
- Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Fall back
to preview handlers of the other bitness
* Preview64: Updated to 1.0.0.11. Now there is version control.
+ Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories: Added category
"Preview as Thumbnail".
Default members: .odt.ods.odp.sldprt.sldasm.slddrw.webp
This category is for files that are known to implement their preview not via
PreviewHandlers but via ThumbnailProviders. It simply saves time, energy,
and climate to skip other preview methods that won't work anyway.
32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders are supported.
> Usage Tip: If you add "*.pdf" to "Preview as Thumbnail" and untick it in
"Office Files" you get the fast thumbnail preview for PDFs everywhere
(Preview Tab, Preview Pane, Floating Preview). It usually shows the first
page of the PDF. Of course, a ThumbnailProvider for PDF must exist.
+ Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box | Select
Item Types...: Added category "Preview as Thumbnail".
32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders are supported.
+ Floating Preview: Now also files in category "Preview as Thumbnail" are
supported (32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders). Including Mouse Down
Blow Up (that did not work before for ODT files).
+ SC savethumb: Now also files in category "Preview as Thumbnail" are
supported (32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders).
* Preview Tab: The caption "Preview created by the shell." has been changed
to "Previewed as thumbnail."
- Removed undocumented tweak FullScreenCustomExtensions.
- Removed tweaks DoPrevShell (v9.90.0403 - 2011-02-17 11:00) and NoPrevShell
(v8.00.0009 - 2009-06-25 23:10). Replaced by the new "Preview As
Thumbnail" category.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0004 - 2020-09-04 19:26
* Configuration | Other | Shell Integration:
- Removed label "Content Search".
- Renamed "Use 64-bit IFilters" to "Use 64-bit IFilters for content
search" and moved it under "64-bit Windows".
+ Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows:
- Added option "Use 64-bit preview handlers for preview"
(factory default = OFF)
- Added option "Fall back to preview handlers of the other bitness"
(factory default = ON)
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: DecToHex
Alternative Name: Hex
Action: Converts a signed decimal integer into hexadecimal.
Syntax: dectohex(integer, [rlen])
integer: The signed decimal number to convert.
The highest allowed integer is 2147483647 (0x7fffffff), the
lowest is -2147483648 (0x80000000).
rlen: Return this many rightmost characters from return value, if the
value is smaller left-pad with zeros.
Meaningful range 1 - 8. Other values are silently corrected.
return: The hexadecimal number, UPPERCASE and without any prefix.
Examples:
text dectohex(-1); // FFFFFFFF
text dectohex(1234567890); // 499602D2
text dectohex(1234567890, 4); // 02D2
text dectohex(15, 8); // 0000000F
text hex(15, 8); // 0000000F
text hex(15, 8000); // 0000000F
text hex(15, 1); // F
text hex(15, 0); // F
text hex(15, -10); // F

v21.00.0003 - 2020-09-04 12:32
+ 64-bit Preview: Now the fallback to the 32-bit preview works. So this is
now a possible setting:
preview64 1, 1; //try 64-bit first, on failure fallback to 32-bit
! 64-bit Preview: Since adding this feature the fallback to the "Preview
created by the shell" (which just comes down to showing a large thumbnail
as preview) did not work anymore, so depending on your system you might
have lost the previews for some file types. Fixed.
Note: ATM this thumbnail is only a "32-bit thumbnail". I'm currently
working on creating "64-bit thumbnails" (= thumbnails created by 64-bit
thumbnail providers).
Code: Select all
v21.00.0002 - 2020-09-03 12:04
! Batch Rename: When passing a simple string as name pattern without any
number templates (e.g., just Pic instead of Pic-<#01>) then the job ran
into exponential performance problems very notable with larger amounts of
renamed items. Fixed. Now the time used increases linearly.
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.123.
> TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.123.lng is uploaded.

v21.00.0001 - 2020-09-02 19:09
* Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Double-click
on empty space goes up: Now OFF by factory default. Some new users were
apparently shocked by it, probably also because of "Highlight hovered
items", which looks a bit like Full Row Select.
! Message Drop: Did not handle Gmails from Thunderbird (and maybe other
clients) correctly. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.00.0000 - 2020-09-01 21:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
+++ 64-bit Preview. Now XYplorer supports 64-bit preview handlers for
Office files (MS Office, PDF, EML). No configuration necessary, it just
works.
+++ Message Preview. Now you get a WYSIWYG preview for email files (EML and
MSG). No configuration necessary, it just works.
+++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Justin Townes Earle.

v20.90.0919 - 2020-09-01 15:06
! Custom Copy: Intra-volume-moving a Junction-to-a-folder or a Symbolic
Link-to-a-folder to a location where a same-named Junction or Symbolic
Link already existed did not work well. Fixed. Now the contents of both
links are merged (with or without merge prompt depending on your settings)
in the target link; the source link is destroyed when all its contents
have been moved.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0157.
