    ! List: The age tooltip could not show ages > 68 years, 35 days, 3 hrs, 14 
      mins, 7 secs. Fixed. Can easily handle your stone age files now.
    ! Breadcrumb Bar: Drawing glitch when going to a hidden folder was still not 
      fully fixed. Now it is.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

    ! Quick Search: A leading ! was still seen as Boolean operator if "Enable 
      extended pattern matching" was off. Fixed.
    * Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Enable extended pattern matching: 
      Now a single ! is not seen as unary Boolean NOT operator even if the 
      setting is on.
    * Visual Filters: Now a single ! is not seen as unary Boolean NOT operator 
      but as the normal ! character.
    * Live Filter Box: Before, Live Filters supported extended pattern matching 
      (! = Boolean NOT, # = wildcard for digits), just like Visual Filters. But 
      this was not practical in the Live Filter context, and also not in line 
      with the behavior of Type Ahead Find.
      Now Live Filters behave like Type Ahead Find and treat ! and # as normal 
      characters.
    ! Dropping on WinRAR files did not always work due to rights issues. Fixed.

    + Keyboard Shortcuts: Managed to handle the so-called dead keys ^ 
      (circumflex accent) and ´ (acute accent), which normally only produce 
      anything visible in combination with the subsequent key.
      So now both dead keys can be used as keyboard shortcuts in all 
      combinations with Ctrl, Shift, and Alt, which means you have 16 more 
      possible shortcuts.
      Note, however, that ^ without any modifier keys, and ´, and Shift+´ alter 
      the state of the keyboard buffer (in order to use them as part of an 
      accented vowel), so these three options are not really recommended.

Download: https://www.xyplorer.com/download.php

Code: Select all

v18.20.0000 - 2017-07-27 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Age Circles. Little visual helpers that let you instantly grasp the rough 
      age of a file. No more brain power wasted on deciphering date strings. 
      Addictive killer feature of the year so far.
  +++ Age Tips. Now when you hover any cell in any date column the corresponding 
      age is displayed in a tooltip.

    + Time Stamping: Now you can do it right in the list. Ctrl+Right-Click any

      you can paste-stamp that date onto any file date in any date column. 
      Ctrl+Right-Click any cell in any date column and you see the new command 
      "Set [Created/Modified/Accessed] Date to [Date]".

      alternative to Ctrl+Right-Click.
    + Age Circles: Now you can comment out whole lines in the definition by 
      prefixing // to the line.
    + Age Circles: Now they support the "rocker-click" (LM down + RM click) as 
      a one-hand alternative to Ctrl+Right-Click.
    + List: Added some Status Bar info on hovering the copy data commands in 
      smart right-click popup menus, so that newbies learn what they do.

    + Tree and List | Shell Context Menu: Now you can force the 32-bit shell 
      context menu by Shift+Menu Key. These are your 3 options now:
        -       Menu Key: 32-bit or 64-bit Context Menu
                          (depends on setting in Configuration | Shell Integration)
        - Shift+Menu Key: 32-bit Context Menu
        -  Ctrl+Menu Key: 64-bit Context Menu
    * Shell Context Menu: The Shift+F10 alternative to the Menu key has 2 
      options now:
        -      Shift+F10: 32-bit Context Menu
        - Ctrl+Shift+F10: 64-bit Context Menu
      Note that this only works if Shift+F10 / Ctrl+Shift+F10 are not assigned as 
      a Custom Keyboard Shortcut.
    * Milliseconds: Now the Info Panel / Properties tab and the new Edit Date... 
      command honor the settings of the tweaks ShowMilliSecondsPrecision and 
      ShowMilliSecondsCropNulls (which both can be set with the undocumented SC 
      msecs, cf v12.40.0304 - 2013-06-09 20:14).
    ! Tiles Views: On white-on-black coloring schemes the captions were in some 
      contexts not readable due to a coloring glitch. Fixed.

    + Toolbar | Open With: Added toggle "Resolve Shortcuts before Matching" to 
      the button's context menu. Tick it to resolve LNK-files before matching 
      them to your Portable File Associations. The factory default is ON.
      Note that before, the hard-coded behavior was OFF. So now you can turn it 
      on, and I even made it the factory default because I think it's the 
      expected behavior.
    ! Recycle Bin: If Windows File Explorer was set to "Hide known extensions" 
      then the Recycle Bin view in XYplorer would hide the extensions as well. 
      This is not desired though. Fixed.

    * Age Circles Tooltip: Now additionally to the age the absolute date is 
      shown including the week of the day. IMO that's a usable bit of 
      human-friendly info.
    * Size Circles Tooltip: Now additionally to the raw bytes count the size is 
      shown in flexible format if it's 1 KB or larger (otherwise it would just 
      be a repetition) and unless the Size column is in flexible format anyway.
    % Speed: Reduced unnecessary network access in certain situations.
