Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v15.90.0002 - 2015-11-04 19:21
  +++ Floating Preview: Added option "Show Tag Bar" (T) to the Advanced Options 
      menu. Turn it on to show the Tag Bar, an additional row in the Floating 
      Preview Status Bar, showing Label, Tags, and Comment (if any) of the 
      previewed file.
      Click (Left or Right) on any of the sections of the Tag Bar to change 
      Label, Tags, or Comment of the previewed file right from the Floating 
      Preview.
    * Floating Preview: The shortcut for Transparency Grid changed from T to 
      Ctrl+T.
    * Fuji Maker Notes: Changed "Saturation" to "Color". It's how it's called in 
      the camera. (Edited in v15.90.0001 change log.)
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    + Photo | Fuji Maker Notes: Added "White Balance" to the reported properties.

      Example:
        echo property("#Image.Fuji.WhiteBalance");
      
      Note: In the Floating Preview White Balance is only displayed if it is not 
      "Auto".
      
    * Floating Preview | Tag Bar: Saved a click when setting the Label. Now the 
      menu pops on mouse down.

v15.90.0012 - 2015-11-05 20:16
    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Visual Filters: Added option 
      "Match case". Tick it to make all Visual Filters case-sensitive (a!=A). 
      The factory default is OFF (case-insensitive, a==A).
      Note that the setting also affects Global Visual Filters.
    * Global Visual Filters: No need to prefix "nec:" or "no:" anymore. You 
      still *can* do it (so nothing old will break), but now XY takes care for 
      it in case you don't. This makes GVF a lot easier to use. It just works as 
      you'd intuitively expect it to work.

    * Floating Preview | Tag Bar: Now left-clicking the Tags section opens the 
      checkbox list interface, whereas right-clicking the Tags section opens the 
      edit box interface (where you can enter brand-new tags that are not yet 
      present in the tag list).
    ! Floating Preview: Fixed a couple of glitches concerning the new Tag Bar.

Code: Select all

v15.90.0014 - 2015-11-07 13:01
    + Configuration | Startup & Exit: Added option "Autosave settings after this 
      many minutes" along with a field to enter the number of minutes (1 - 9999).
      Tick it to automatically save all settings after X minutes, measured from 
      the last time all settings were saved, whether automatically or manually.
      Factory default is 10 minutes, and OFF.
      Note that Autosave will not happen just by itself but is triggered by the 
      following user actions if the specified number of minutes has passed in 
      this moment:
        - Changing location (you browse to some new folder).
        - Tagging an item.
        - OK-ing the Configuration dialog.
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: ShowInTree
      Action: Show a path in the tree.
      Syntax: showintree [path]
        path: [optional] the path to show.
              If missing the current path is shown (moved into view).
      Remarks:
        - Showing here can just mean to scroll the node into view. If the node 
          is already visible in the view then the command does nothing.
        - Showing can also mean that the tree is expanded to the path if 
          necessary and possible.
        - The path is never selected (browsed) by this command.
        - If the path does not exist the existing part of it (if any) is shown.
      Examples:
         showintree "Desktop";
         showintree "T:\Fotos\2015\";
         showintree "paper:echo"; //yet unofficial but working
    * Tools | Customize List | Autosize Columns: Removed this style from the 
      factory defaults. Too many newbies struggled with it since I added it 
      20130618.
    ! List: Erratic false "Location currently not available." message with some 
      users on some systems. Closing the ring around it #2.

v15.90.0020 - 2015-11-08 19:28
  +++ Breadcrumb Bars: Now you can drop stuff onto the Breadcrumb Bars.
    + Floating Preview: Added option "Navigate by Click" (N) to the Advanced 
      Options menu. Tick it to enable navigation by left-clicking anywhere on 
      the preview window or the previewed image itself.
      - Click on left half of the preview: Go Back.
      - Click on right half of the preview: Go Forward.
      Before, this has been hardcoded to ON since v15.70.0102 - 2015-09-04 16:59.
    * Mouse Pointer: After more than 16 years I changed the right-button 
      drag-and-drop mouse pointer from an empty white square to a white square 
      filled with 4 black lines (plus white arrow) indicating that the drag and 
      drop context menu will be shown.
      Note: If "Use standard shell drag and drop" (Configuration | Shell 
      Integration | Drag and Drop) is ticked XY loses full control over the 
      mouse pointer, and it will just be the standard drag and drop pointer on 
      right-drag.
    + Time Stamping: Now you can input dates with trailing "AM", "PM" or "Uhr". 
      For example:
        3/16/2015 03:02:04 am
        3/16/2015 12:02:04 PM
        2015-10-25 11:18:12 Uhr.9188177
    ! List: Right-mouse lasso-select did not trigger the MouseUp event anymore 
      since 20150921. Fixed.
      It's even a little cleverer now than before: When MouseUp is on white you 
      get the white space context menu, when it's on an item you the item's 
      context menu.
    ! Crash on Exit since v15.90.0014 under certain conditions. Fixed.

v15.90.0021 - 2015-11-09 17:20
    + Info Panel | Preview: Experimentally added a way to delay the preview so 
      that the current file is not immediately previewed after being selected. 
      This should make it a nicer experience to walk through a directory while 
      the Preview tab is open.
      Currently implemented as a tweak only (GUI later), in milliseconds:
        PreviewDelayMsecs=500
      The setting has no effect on the Floating Preview.
    ! Thumbnails: MDBU did not always work (instead of MDBU the file was 
      selected) right after scrolling the list (since some weeks). Fixed.
    ! SC filter: Flag 4 (Do not toggle on same filter) did not work for normal 
      Visual Filters (non-global). Fixed.
    ! Global Visual Filter: A pattern like 
        !.lrc;.txt
      (meaning "hide LRC and TXT files") was not correctly translated internally 
      to
        no:lrc;no:txt
      Fixed.

    + Find Files | Contents | It's a hex string: Now you can prefix the exact 
      position of the string you want to match. Only files with those bytes at 
      that position will be returned.
      Notes:
        - The first position in a file is 0 (not 1). This is common usage.
        - The position can be given in 0x hexadecimal format, or in decimal format.
        - As special service an 8-digit number starting with 0 (zero) is 
          interpreted as hex.
        - The highest position you can state in hex format is 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295).
        - Positions stated in decimal format can be higher.
        - Remember that position means exact position of match, not start of search.
        - You don't have to set Type to "Binary"; when a position is specified 
          then binary search is implied.
        - This position-bound contents search is *MUCH* faster than the normal 
          one where the whole file has to be scanned for matching bytes.
      Examples:
        0: FF             Find all files starting with FF
        0x0: FF           Find all files starting with FF
        0x00000000: FF    Find all files starting with FF
        00000000: FF      Find all files starting with FF
        0xFFFFFFFF: 00    Find all files with 00 at pos 4294967295.
        2: 69 00 73 00 6F 00  Find all files with this byte sequence at pos 2.
        4294967296: AB CD EF  Find all files with this byte sequence at pos 4294967296.
    + Find Files | Contents | It's a hex string: If you prefix a position to 
      your hex data you now get support for Hex Wildcards. Simply type "??" in 
      place of a hey value and this byte is ignored in the matching.
      Notes:
        - You don't have to set Mode to "Wildcards" to enable Hex Wildcards.
        - NOTE: Wildcards are NOT supported in non-position-bound searches. If 
          no position is prefixed and the hex data contain wildcards anyway then 
          internally the position is set to 0 (beginning of file), and the 
          missing position prefix is auto-added to the contents field in the UI.
      Examples:
        0: FF ?? FF
        0x10: 00 ?? ?? 00
        FF ?? FF            Position is assumed to be 0, see note above.
    ! SC readfile: Unnecessary error "Out of string space" when attempting to 
      read only a small portion from some position in a huge file. Fixed.

v15.90.0028 - 2015-11-11 16:22
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /silent=... by which you can 
      avoid message boxes from popping before the search finally happens. 
      Currently only one value (one message box) is supported.
        /silent=1   No message of some of the locations of a multi location search 
                    are not available,
      Example:
        E:\Test\b;E:\Test\bb?*.txt /silent=1
    + Added a tweak to the same effect as the above switch. Set the tweak to 
      spare the switch:
        FindSilent=1
    % Floating Preview: Now the previewed image is not simultaneously shown in 
      the Preview tab anymore. This notably speeds up browsing images in the 
      Floating Preview.
    ! Crash on Save Settings since v15.90.0014 under certain conditions. Fixed.

    + Floating Preview: Added a way to define and run a particular script 
      directly from the Floating Preview. In the Advanced Options menu, tick the 
      new toggle "Show Script Button". The will show a script button in the Tag 
      Bar (which hence has to be visible as well to see the script button).
      - Left-click the button to run the Floating Preview Script (if any).
      - Right-click the button to create/edit the Floating Preview Script.
      - You can as well run the script by key F8 (only from Floating Preview).
        Note that the script is triggered on KeyUp, not KeyDown. This avoids 
        potential trouble when the scripts itself receives the KeyUp event.
      - The Floating Preview Script is remembered between sessions.
      - Tip: F1 in the Edit Script dialog will show the Scripting Commands 
        Reference.

  *** Floating Preview: New way to handle keys. Now Floating Preview keyboard 
      shortcuts and main window keyboard shortcuts (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) 
      are always active in the Floating Preview, but Floating Preview keys have 
      priority. If a key combination does not trigger anything in the Floating 
      Preview then it's passed on to the main window.
    - Floating Preview: Removed option "Allow Custom Keyboard Shortcuts in 
      Preview". It's always ON now internally.
    * Menu Favorites: Moved the "Favorite Folders" submenu back to the top (by 
      moving "Special System Folders" down).
    * SC ControlAtPos: Now it returns also the index of the tab at the inquired 
      position. The first tab has index 1. 
      General format:
        TAB <pane>|<tab index>
      Examples:
        TAB 1|9
        TAB 2|1
      If no tab is at the position then "0" (zero) is returned as index.
    ! List: After dbl-clicking a folder icon with "Configuration | Mouse Down 
      Blow Up | On file icons as well" ON the item at the same position in the 
      subfolder was selected because the mouse event was not completely eaten. 
      Fixed.
    ! Network: You would not get a logon dialog when opening a network location 
      from the list while the tree was locked. Fixed.

    + Preview Tab: Experimentally you now can use ESC to prevent the delayed 
      preview from happening at all. Press ESC right after selecting the file 
      during the delay, or hold ESC while selecting the file.
      FYI, this tweak can delay previews:
        PreviewDelayMsecs=500
    * SC ControlAtPos: Now, for the Toolbar, it returns also the index of the 
      button at the inquired position. The first button has index 1.
      Examples:
        TB|9
        TB|1
      If no button is at the position then "0" (zero) is returned as index.
      Note that separators count as buttons here.
    ! Thumbnails: EPS ("Encapsulated PostScript") had been falsely categorized 
      under "Text Files" therefore you got no thumbnails for EPS files. Fixed.
