! Fixed a minor glitch concerning "Confirm drag and drop".
Code: Select all
v9.60.0015 - 2010-10-19 20:38
+ Configuration | Extended: Added option "Confirm drag and drop".
Check it to pop a confirmation prompt for every left-mouse drag
and drop operation. A reliable protection from accidental drops.
Note: If "Disallow left-dragging from tree and list" is ticked
then "Confirm drag and drop" is not applicable, of course.
! List: Drawing glitch (wrong background colors) since v9.60.0006
when switching between a blocked tab ("Location currently not
available") and another tab. Fixed.

v9.60.0014 - 2010-10-19 13:02
+ Scripting: The multi-script goto-shorthand now also supports
environment and native variables, name searches, and visual
filters. For example:
Desktop
%tmp%
<xydata>
C:\WINDOWS\system.ini
C:\WINDOWS\system32
C:\WINDOWS\system32?a*
C:\WINDOWS\system32?:a* or b*
C:\WINDOWS\system32?:a* | b*
C:\WINDOWS\system32?tag:blue
C:\WINDOWS\system32|a*
* Scripting: The dialog previously called "Scripting Error" is
now called "XYplorer Scripting" because it's not always a real
scripting error that is reported but most of the times a script
related information.
+ Tree Items Context Menu: Added optional item "Hide Folder from
Mini Tree". Does only show in Mini Tree mode. The item is also
contained in the "Expansion" submenu, but I think it merits this
extra treatment.
* Updated the help file.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0013 - 2010-10-18 15:51
+ Scripting: In a multi-script resource you can now pass a plain
path/file spec as a shorthand for a well-formed goto script. Such
a line will be auto-converted to a valid goto command including
the appropriate icon in the generated popup menu.
- Long version using well-formed goto scripts with captions:
"C:\|C:\" goto "C:\";
"C:\Windows|C:\Windows" goto "C:\Windows";
"C:\WINDOWS\SoundMan.exe|*" goto "C:\WINDOWS\SoundMan.exe";
- Equivalent shorthand version:
C:\
C:\Windows
C:\WINDOWS\SoundMan.exe
This little shorthand trick tremendously simplifies creating and
editing User Buttons with favorite items lists and similar tasks.
* Floppies: From now on, floppy disk drives are not shown in the
Tree by factory default. To show them tick Configuration | General
| Show floppy drives.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0012 - 2010-10-18 12:43
+ Script icons: Now you can pass "*" as placeholder to use the
caption as icon pointer:
"C:\|*" goto "C:\";
"C:\Windows|*" goto "C:\Windows";
* Menu View | Refresh: Now floppy drives in the Tree are refreshed
only if they are the current node. Reason: Less buzz!
Tip: Use "Refresh Tree" to always refresh the floppy drives (if
they are visible).
* Double-Slashed Freak Paths: From now on, those paths are silently
corrected. No more prompts. So, for example, you can now go here
without problem:
C:\//windows\\///system32/\/\

v9.60.0011 - 2010-10-17 20:30
*** Menu View: Major reorganization of the Refresh related commands.
Leading purpose was to meet the general expectation that F5
refreshes Tree AND List. See following sections...
Note that, because refreshing the whole Tree is a LOT of work
compared to refreshing the List, F5 is now a pretty heavy action.
The previous functionality of F5 has been mapped to Ctrl+F5.
When you are upgrading, however, all your old shortcuts will still
point to the old functionality, so these shortcut changes only
affect fresh installations.
+ Added command "Refresh" (F5). Refreshes Tree and List. The
functionality simply combines "Refresh Tree" (F4) and "Refresh
List" (previouly F5, now Ctrl+F5).
Notes:
- Contrary to Explorer's "Refresh", the List is not reset (i.e.
any selections and the scroll position are kept). To reset the
file list use "Reset File List" (Ctrl+F5).
- The Tree is only refreshed when it is visible.
- "Refresh" replaces the command Miscellaneous | General Functions
| Refresh Tree and List (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F5) which is now
obsolete and has been removed.
* Menu View:
- Renamed "Rebuild Tree" to "Reset Tree".
- Renamed "Refresh File List" to "Refresh List".
- Renamed "Refresh and Reset File List" to "Reset List".
* Menu View: New default keyboard shortcuts:
"Refresh List" (Ctrl+F5)
"Reset List" (Ctrl+Shift+F5)
* Menu View | Refresh Tree: Before, Refresh Tree on a Mini Tree
would add all available top folders (special folders and drives)
to the Mini Tree. Now, only the top folders that are already part
of the Mini Tree are refreshed, but none are added.
* Menu View | Current Tab | Sort By | Sort Again: Removed default
shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F5.
* Background Jobs: Status Bar info does not ellipse paths anymore
(full paths are shown in the Status Bar's tooltip).
Code: Select all
v9.60.0010 - 2010-10-16 11:00
* Configuration: Reorganized the first two tabs by adding bold
subheadings, and added a 3rd tab "Extended" because running out of
space. Options overkill... trying to handle it.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0009 - 2010-10-15 14:41
* Dual Pane: From now on, if a location is opened in the other
(inactive) pane (e.g. by Alt+Click in the Tree) then Dual Pane
mode is enabled if necessary.
Reasons: It is assumed that you want to see the inactive pane when
you open a location in it. And this way visual feedback of the
"open" action is ensured.
* Raw View: Now the vertical scrollbar is not shown anymore when the
view is empty.
! Double-Slashed Freak Paths: Fix #4.
! UDC Icons: Fixed a couple of glitches.
! Catalog: Would not open EXEs in special folders. Fixed.
! Tree: In Vista/Win7 shared folders were shown without icon since
v9.60.0002. Fixed.

! Double-Slashed Freak Paths: Fix #3.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0007 - 2010-10-14 20:42
+ Tree Items Context Menu: Added optional item "Open in Other Pane"
(Alt+Click). Will open the selected folder in the other pane
(whether that pane is visible or not). Note that it also works
when right-clicking a folder other than the current folder.
+ User-Defined Commands: Now also XY native variables are supported
in the icon pointers:
Blah|<xydata>\Icons\fun.ico
! User Buttons: Icons did not support XY variables anymore. Fixed.
FYI, these point to the same resource:
Icons\fun.ico
<xydata>\Icons\fun.ico
! Invalid freak paths were still hitting below the belt under
certain conditions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0006 - 2010-10-14 13:13
+ Configuration | Advanced | Custom items in shell context menu. Now
you can configure which items are shown in the context menu
*separately* for Tree (button Folder Tree...) and List (button
File List...).
The factory default for the Tree items in the menu has been
reduced to avoid the newbie-scaring overkill effect of a maximally
enhanced context menu.
+ Script icons: Now relative (to app data path) and portable paths
are supported.
+ User Buttons: Now relative (to app data path) and portable paths
are supported.
+ User-Defined Commands: Now you can pass a pointer to an icon along
with the caption. The icon will be shown in the User menu.
The general form is Caption|Icon, where Icon can have the
following formats:
Blah|C:\Beta\ full path/file to file or folder
Blah|Icons\fun.ico relative path (to app data path)
Blah|:minitree internal icon (toolbar buttons resource)
Blah| nothing (no icon shown)
* MouseDownBlowUp on Word (doc, docx, rtf) thumbnails: This is now
also (like MouseDownBlowUp on PDFs) controlled by the tweak
MDBUPdfLarge=1
And the factory default of this tweak now has been set to 1.
Note that SC tweak supports this tweak, so you can do this through
the Address Bar to change the setting:
tweak("MDBUPdfLarge", 1);
Note: Whether the enlarged Word blow up actually works depends on
your system and RAM size. It's not easily predictable. Try it out.
! Invalid freak paths like "C:\windows\\system32" lead to a bit of
chaos. Fixed. Now you are asked whether you lost your marbles and
are provided with due assistance.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0005 - 2010-10-13 16:22
+ CKS | Miscellaneous | Timestamp: Added command "Set Created Date
to EXIF Date". Sets the Created date of each selected image file
(JPEG, TIFF) to its EXIF date.
If no EXIF date is found the Created date is not touched.
+ Tabs: Now you can escape dragging Tabs by pressing ESC.
+ New constant <tab>, resolved to the Tab character (ASCII 9).
* Constants <crlf> and <tab> now take an optional count parameter
for repetition. Example:
::echo "Catch<crlf 22>22";
! Pressing ESC when dragging an item in the UDC manager or
Configuration | Color Filters closed the dialog instead of
canceling the drag. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.60.0004 - 2010-10-11 12:21
+ Menu File | File Special: Added command "Set Modified Date to
Current". Sets the Modified Date of all selected List items to the
current date/time.
Note: This command was previously featured under CKS |
Miscellaneous | Timestamp. The command ID remains the same, of
course: #1034.
* Menu Edit | Select: Added command "Restore Selection", which
hereby is part of the regular set of commands and can have a CKS.
Accordingly, "Restore Selection" in the List white space context
menu is now featured under the Select submenu.
* Panes: Renamed "Select Special" to "Sync Select".
! Menu Edit | New Items: Just did my testing with folders and forgot
to take care for the extensions in files. Fixed. With files the
comment should be left of the extension, for example:
Source: <newitemspath>\targetname 'comment.txt
Target: <targetpath>\targetname.txt
Code: Select all
v9.60.0003 - 2010-10-11 10:11
+ Menu Edit | New Items: Now you can append a comment to any of the
items in the New Items folder. The comment is added as part of the
source item name and is separated from the target item name by the
sequence space-space-singlequote (singlequote = ASCII 39).
When a new item is copied the comment is dropped and only the part
left of the comment separator is used in the target. For example,
and item named "targetname 'comment" in the New Items folder will
be copied to the new item "targetname". The comments are visible
in the New Item menu.
The comment option gives you the following advantages:
- You can comment items that are not obvious by themselves.
- You can have several items of the same target name but with
different contents. The comment field allows you to have them
all within the New Items folder without collisions.
* Background Jobs: Improved the Statusbar info shown when a job is
added.
! Moving Up: The overlap check algorithm returned false positives.
Fixed.
Special thanks to user Jibz for pointing out the surprisingly
complex issues arising from overlaps when moving stuff up (see
http://www.hardtoc.com/archives/198).
