* Tree: With Configuration | General | Expand tree nodes on single-
click ON and Tools | Customize Tree | Rename on slow double-click
OFF, you now can also *collapse* the current tree node by a single
click on the name. Saves you many clicks if you are one of those
who like the single click mode. I'm almost converted myself...
! Command Line: Would not process "Recycle Bin" (or whatever it is
called in your locale) as startpath. Fixed.
! Image Preview: The compression ratio was not calculated correctly
for animated GIFs. Fixed.
! Tabs: When right-clicking the Tab Bar to get the Tablist it always
took you to the first tab, no matter which tab in the list you've
chosen. Fixed.
! Preview: Crash on renaming a previewed ICO file. Fixed.
! Tags: After a cancelled Move operation, Tags and Comments of the
source were still attributed to a target item of the same name as
the source. Fixed.
! Find Files: The combination of Name * and Inverted should return
an empty list but did not. Fixed.
! MP3 Info Tip: Depending on your locale and certain characters in
the filename (e.g. ñ under Czech locale) hovering an MP3 file
could lead to the creation of a zero-length file with a similar
name (some characters altered, e.g. ñ replaced by n) in the same
folder. Fixed.
The bug could also surface in the image preview, the font preview,
and some other places. All these places are fixed as well.

v9.20.0008 - 2010-06-28 10:43
+ Image Preview: Now the frame count is displayed for animated GIFs.
! List: If you created a New Folder before ever popping the list's
white space context menu, then any icons in the context menu were
not created and the New Items submenu was not populated. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.20.0007 - 2010-06-23 11:37
+ New variable: <cursize> = file size in bytes of the current list
item. Files only. If the current item is a folder the variable
returns "" (empty string).
+ Menu Go: Added command Aliases... where you can select an alias
from a list of all aliases you have defined. I know that the blue
hearts here are completely redundant but they serve to give you an
immediate visual hint about where you are.
If you don't remember what an alias stands for, you can check in
List Management | Aliases, and maybe find a better name for it.
* Aliases: Now they are kept alphabetically sorted. Before, the
latest addition was added to the top of the list. (Sort order is
not relevant for processing but for looking up an alias in List
Management.)
Code: Select all
v9.20.0006 - 2010-06-22 20:39
+ List | White Space Context Menu: Added command "New Text File" to
the top section.
* Menu Edit | New: Renamed items "New Textfile ..." to "New Text
File ...". Appears to be the more common way to write it.
+ SC sel enhanced: Added argument "startfromtop":
Syntax: sel [position/pattern], [count], [startfromtop]
startfromtop: 0 = [Default] start from current position
1 = start from top of list
startfromtop is ignored if the first argument is
not a pattern.
Example:
// Select "Test.txt" in the file list:
sel "[Test.txt]", , 1;
Notes:
- You can pass item-names-only or the full-path-names,
independently of the list mode (Browse, Find, ...).
- On no match any current selections are unselected.
+ SC selfilter enhanced: Added argument "add":
Syntax: selfilter [pattern], [type (f|d)], [column], [add]
add: 0 = [Default] new selection
1 = add to current selection
Example:
// First select all TXT files, and then add
// all items starting with "a"
selfilter "*.txt"; selfilter "a*", , , 1;
* Menu File | Rename (in List): Now, always the focused item is
renamed, completely independent of the current selections. If you
want to rename the selected item(s) use Shift+F2 (Batch Rename).
This means you now can rename individual items out of a group of
selected items without renaming the other selected items and
without changing any selections.
I'm aware that this behavior differs from Explorer. Time will tell
if it is really better... it's an experiment.
! SC sel: In a search results listing, it would not select a file
defined by pattern if the full path was not included with the
pattern. Fixed. Now, if no path is passed, it tries to match by
name only.
! List: Inline rename box did not auto-scroll into view when
necessary. Fixed.
! Address Bar: Launching DOS commands via "!"-prefix did not work
when the current path was a special path like Desktop. Fixed.
! Thumbnails: Did not show thumbnails for PSD files that were
created using Adobe Photoshop CS5. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.20.0005 - 2010-06-18 11:04
* Menu File | Rename (in List): Now, if the focused item is not
selected it is inline-renamed without selecting it or changing any
current selections. And if the focused item is selected then it is
inline-renamed if there is only one selection, else batch rename
is triggered for all selected items.
Note that the Batch Rename command (Shift+F2) still functions as
before and applies to the selected items regardless of the focus.
! Menu Edit | New | New Folder (...): If the new folder template
contained a dot everything right of the last dot was falsely
interpreted as an extension, and any number suffix was inserted
before that extension. Fixed.
! Command Line: Selecting a file directly from command line did not
work. Fixed. Now you can do
XYplorer "C:\Folder\File.txt"
and XY opens at C:\Folder\ and selects File.txt.
! Dropdown Lists: Could crash when the current item contained a "["
without a matching "]". Fixed.
! Panes: Since 3 days ago: Possible focus confusion after copying
items from pane to pane. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.20.0003 - 2010-06-16 11:29
+ Menu Edit | New: Added command "New Files...". Here you can enter
a list of new files (one per line) that will be created in one go.
The functionality is like the one of the "New Folders..." command:
- Paths can be absolute or relative (to current path).
- Non-existing path are created on the fly.
- They can be stated in any order.
- XY native variables and environment variables are supported.
- Files that already exist are silently ignored (and not
overwritten).
- The last list is remembered within the session.
Example for a list:
newtextfilehere.txt
MoonLanding\TopSecret\new.txt
\MarsLanding\TopSecret\new.txt
D:\Testpath\new.txt
%username%.txt
New <date yyyymmdd>.txt
! List: Selection glitch (selection remained sticky) when a script
using SC selfilter resulted in a single selected file. Fixed.
! Find by Tag: Didn't always find newly tagged file depending on its
sort position within the already tagged files. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.20.0002 - 2010-06-15 14:59
+ Menu Window: Added toggle "Show Statusbar". So, finally, you can
hide the Statusbar. Note that if the Statusbar is hidden then also
the Background Bar goes away.
* Background Processing: Shell-owned replace prompts would pop in
the background (likely covered by XY's main window) when the CTRL
key was down when the file operation was initiated (e.g. CTRL+Drag
to force a Copy). Fixed partly. Still Windows may take control
unpredictably and pop the prompt in the background. The animated
icon on the Background Bar will tell you whether a background
process is in progress or waiting for input. Under XP you also get
a flashing taskbar icon, not in Win7 though.
The better and 100% safe strategy is to use the right mouse button
for such drag operations and then choose Copy from the context
menu.
! Running an EXE by dbl-click did not always produce the same
behavior as running it via Shell context menu Open. For example,
trying to run a 16-bit EXE under Win64 should generate an error
message. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.20.0001 - 2010-06-14 11:52
+ Drag'n'drop context menu: Added command "Go to Dragged Item". Will
go the dragged item's containing folder and select the item, or
simply open the folder if the item is a folder. If more than one
item is dragged the first item is taken.
Note: The command is only available for the List and the current
Tab of the active pane. But, of course, each hovered tab becomes
the current tab after a configurable while.
Main usage is probably when dragging items or paths from other
apps into XYplorer. It's a kind of "Go to by Drag'n'drop" --
revolutionary if you ask me.
* MouseDownBlowUp on PDF preview and thumbnails: The shell driven
preview of PDF files now can be enlarged using a new tweak. By
default it is limited to 384 x 512 pixels. Set
MDBUPdfLarge=1
to enlarge it to a square of 80% of the smaller screen dimension.
On a 1920 x 1080 screen this would be 0.8 * 1080 = 864 pixels.
Note that SC tweak supports this tweak, so you can do this through
the Address Bar:
tweak("MDBUPdfLarge", 1);
Note: Whether the enlarged PDF blow up actually works depends on
your system and RAM size. It's not easily predictable. Try it out.
* Web & Office Preview: Now, no more address/title and status info on top
and bottom of the Preview tab is displayed be factory default.
This way the preview area is quite a bit higher than before.
If you still want it the old way you can use a tweak:
ShowWebPreviewInfoBars=1
! Tabs: The selected tab of the inactive pane was not highlighted
when drag-hovered. Fixed.
* Info Panel: Now when the Info Panel is shown or a new IP tab is
selected and there is no current item (i.e. the IP tabs
Properties, Version, Preview, and Raw View are blank), then the
currently focused list item is automatically made the current item
if it is in selected state. Very useful, should have done this
about 10 years ago!
FYI, the state focused/selected/non-current can be caused e.g. by
drag-selecting a focused file, or passively when copied files are
selected-on-paste.
* Configuration | General | Show item count: Renamed it to "Show item
count with folder sizes" and removed the indent.
Now it is also enabled if "Show folder sizes in file list" is OFF
because it also applies on View | Calculate Folder Sizes.
! Tree: Non-current folder captions were not always reliably
refreshed after a script-driven rename. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.20.0000 - 2010-06-11 12:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
+++ Aliases. Aliases are user-definable variables where you can freely
choose the name of the variable and their value. When you enter
such an alias into the Address Bar it will be resolved to its
value before further processing. A real time saver.
+++ User Folder. Added a new special folder [User] to the Tree
pointing to the current user's profile folder.
+++ Special Folders. Now you can easily show/hide all top special folders in the Tree:
- Desktop
- Documents
- User
- Network
- Recycle Bin
Toggling those folders works on-the-fly without rebuild of the
whole tree.
+++ User Buttons. Increased their number from 16 to 32.
+++ Folder Sizes. Now you can show the number of items in each folder
in the list's Size column.
+++ Environment Variables. Now you can quickly display a list of all
environment variables. Might come in handy.
+++ Previewed Formats. Massively improved configuration interface.
Code: Select all
v9.11.0031 - 2010-06-10 11:20
+ Configuration | Previewed Formats: DEL and INS keys now work on
the extensions list.
* Type Filter: Changed the format of the tweak to add custom
extensions. Now the extension lists should be dot-separated
(before, they were comma-separated):
AudioPreviewCustomExtensions=bim.bam.bum
VideoPreviewCustomExtensions=
VectorPreviewCustomExtensions=
ArchivePreviewCustomExtensions=
ExePreviewCustomExtensions=
Your current settings are upgraded automatically.
! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Fixed minor glitches.
Code: Select all
v9.11.0030 - 2010-06-09 20:45
*** Configuration | Previewed Formats: Rewrote the interface from
scratch. Faster loading, better handling, more information, and
some minor bugs fixed. And:
- Now you can enable/disable the preview for a whole type of
files, e.g. for all Image files.
- User-added extensions are colored green (resp. color "Marked
Text 2"). They can be excluded from preview by unticking them,
or completely removed from the list using the Remove button.
* Configuration | Colors & Styles: The factory default for "Sel.
Items Back" is now a light blue.
! List: Horizontal dual pane splitter position was not correctly
restored when starting the app in minimized state. Fixed.
! List: Currently selected folder was not scrolled into view after
calculating its size using View | Calculate Folder Sizes. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.11.0029 - 2010-06-08 13:34
+ Preview: Added WPD (WordPerfect Document) to the previewed Office
files. Of course, the preview will only work if you have
WordPerfect installed.
* Info Panel: Removed shadow effect from the tab headers by factory
default (no change for upgraders). Reason: Don't like it anymore.
Tip: You can still turn it on by tweaking TabIPVisualStyle=0 in
the INI. In Windows Classic theme, however, the "shadow style" is
ignored anyway, even if tweaked.
! Info Panel: Drawing glitch in Windows Classic theme. Fixed.
! List: Type-Ahead Find would not recognize character #. Fixed.
! List: Drawing glitch (needlessly ellipsed captions) with font
"Courier" Bold due to Windows API bug. Worked around.

v9.11.0028 - 2010-06-07 11:40
* Menu Help: The last commands dropped their ellipses:

! Configuration | Fonts | Tree and List: Any changes here were not
correctly reset on cancelling the Configuration dialog and would
eventually be applied to the controls. Fixed.

v9.11.0027 - 2010-06-05 12:08
+ Menu Help: Added command "Environment Variables...". Shows the
current state of the Environment Variables.
Note that the bottom of the list, starting with %computer%, are
XY-internal variables.
- Removed SC env (Show Environment Variables).
Replaced by the new command in menu Help (#728;).
* Some clipboard functions in menu Edit | Paste Special were only
available in Browse mode. Now they are always available.
