    ! PDF Preview: In Win 10 and later, with a screen scaling of more than 100%, the PDF 
      preview was wrongly aligned, with larger parts being hidden. This can also depend on 
      the preview handler, but appears to be solved for the more frequent cases.

Code: Select all

v23.20.0001 - 2022-06-09 20:18
    + Preview Pane: Experimentally added the option to show the Preview Pane to the left 
      of the file list instead of to the right. The obvious advantage is that the previews 
      then are nearer to the Name column, which is where you usually look and click.
      To toggle the position hold CTRL while using the command "Window | Arrangement | 
      Live Filter Box in Status Bar". Later it will get its own command, of course.
    + SC get got a new named argument "dimensions" by which you can retrieve 
      the dimensions and/or aspect ratio of an image or video file.
      Syntax: get("dimensions", [file], [template="%w% x %h%"])
        file:     The file.
                  Defaults to the currently focused file.
        template: Format of the returned string. Supports the following variables:
                  %w% = width, %h% = height, %a% = aspectratio.
                  Defaults to "%w% x %h%".
        return:   Dimensions and/or aspect ratio, depending on the template.
      Examples, using variable syntax:
        text <get dimensions>; //720 x 480
        // note the two spaces where the "file" argument is omitted!
        text <get dimensions  "%w% x %h% [%a%]">; //720 x 480 [3:2]
      Examples, using script syntax:
        text get("dimensions"); //720 x 480
        text get("dimensions", , "%w% x %h% [%a%]"); //720 x 480 [3:2]
    % Tabs: Smoother switch to a tab where the focused file will be previewed. Now the 
      list is first painted, then the preview is fired.
    * Type Ahead Find: Now a single Space will by factory default select the focused list 
      item. To make Space work in TAF just like any other key, use this tweak:
        TAFSkipSingleSpaces=0
      FYI, this changes the default behavior introduced in v22.10.0103 - 2021-08-19 13:27. 
      I decided to go with the expected standard. Muscle memory rules.
    ! Live Filters and Visual Filters: Since 20220527 any trailing or leading spaces in 
      filter patterns were simply ignored. Fixed.

    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Text preview | Display Tabs as spaces: Now if 
      you select a number other than 0, the TAB characters will not simply be replaced 
      with that number of spaces, they will be expanded in the correct way to form 
      vertically aligned columns.
      Example for tab width = 4:
        Input (> = TAB):    >a>ab>abc>abcd>abcde>abcdef>abcdefg
        Columns:            1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---A---B---C---
        Output (. = SPACE): ....a...ab..abc.abcd....abcde...abcdef..abcdefg

v23.20.0101 - 2022-06-12 18:52
    + Help | List All Commands...: Now there are column headers and a grid.
    + SC get("dimensions"): Changed and enhanced. Now the following placeholders are 
      supported in the template:
      Syntax: get("dimensions", [file], [template="%w% x %h%"])
        template: Format of the returned string. Supports the following variables:
                  %w% = width
                  %h% = height
                  %r% = aspect ratio term, e.g. "1:2"  (CHANGED, was %a% before!)
                  %rq% = aspect ratio quotient, e.g. "0.5"
                  %a% = area raw, e.g. "1048576"
                  %af% = area formatted or friendly, e.g. "1,048,576"
                  Defaults to "%w% x %h%".
      Examples, using variable syntax:
        text <get dimensions>; //1200 x 1600
        text <get dimensions  "%w% x %h% [%r%]">; //1200 x 1600 [3:4]
        text <get dimensions  "ratio=%rq%">; //ratio=0.75
        echo <get dimensions  %a%>; //1920000
        echo <get dimensions  "%af% square pixels">; //1,920,000 square pixels
    ! Custom Columns: Mixed type columns incorrectly displayed some internal data used to 
      sort by dimensions and aspect ratio, since the latter recently learned how to sort 
      properly. Fixed. Now "Mixed" columns don't support this particular sorting anymore. 
      It is rather meaningless for "Mixed" columns anyway.
    ! SC copytext: Default linebreaker 
 did not work anymore since 20220603. Fixed.

v23.20.0102 - 2022-06-13 18:29
    + Edit | Select: Added toggle command "Toggle Selection", default keyboard shortcut is 
      INS (upgraders have to assign it manually). It toggles the selection of the focused 
      list item (the list has to be in focus as well).
      Note that multi-selection is supported: any other selections are not automatically 
      unselected. So functionally it's identical to the hard-built-in Windows standard 
      shortcut Ctrl+Space.
    + Window | Arrangement: Added toggle command "Preview Pane Left". Tick it to show the 
      Preview Pane to the left of the List.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.148.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.148.lng is uploaded.

    + Duplicate File Finder: Added option "Ignore numbers", mainly meant to ignore serial 
      numbers when searching for Dupes by Name. This first experimental approach to the 
      problem will simply ignore all numbers (0 - 9) in a filename when comparing it to 
      the other filenames. As a result, for example, the files "Fred(1).txt" and 
      "Fred(2).txt" are seen as dupes, but also "1979.png" and "20200103015144244.png". I 
      personally find the results surprisingly meaningful.

    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead Find: Added 
      option "Skip single spaces". Enable it (it's actually the factory default) to keep 
      the default functionality of the spacebar in the List: to select the currently 
      focused item when it is not selected. To make the spacebar work like any other key 
      in Type Ahead Find, uncheck the option.
      As the name suggests, it only affects single spaces. Within a fast-typed string of 
      letters, spaces work like any other key, e.g. "y " or " y".
      FYI, this raises tweak TAFSkipSingleSpaces to GUI.
