    % Custom Move: Intra-volume moves with large numbers of files are MUCH 
      faster now also to *non-empty* locations. Ha!
      Custom Copy and cross-volume moves are also faster now, but it won't be as 
      noticeable because byte copying is also done and takes its time.
    % Batch Rename: Doing a batch rename with an incremental suffix for many 
      files (> 1000), example pattern: file-<#0001>, is much faster now.
      How: The uniqueness of each new name is not checked anymore against the 
      already created new names when > 1000 items are renamed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0181.

v22.50.0106 - 2021-11-28 13:49
    + Added a tweak that makes heavy clipboard operations much faster.
      For example:
        ClipboardSkipShidFrom=1000
      Now when 1000 or more items are copied or cut to the clipboard a slow 
      part of the processing (the creation of the Shell IDList Array) is 
      skipped. For the usual copy-pasting of items this skipped part is not 
      necessary.
    % Edit menu: Opens much faster now when the clipboard is crowded with files.
    * Configuration | File Operations | Undo & Action Log | Clipboard | Log 
      clipboard contents and enable restore: Now a clipboard full of files is 
      only stored if it has 1000 or less files. Larger numbers are just too slow 
      and too heavy on memory.
    + Restore Previous Clipboard: Now there is some feedback in the status bar.

Code: Select all

v22.50.0201 - 2021-11-30 12:03
    + Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop: Added option 
      "Extended compatibility for clipboard and drag and drop".
      The Windows Clipboard and Drag-and-drop functionality share the same data 
      structures, and many years ago someone clearly not into speed invented a 
      clumsy thing called the "Shell IDList Array". It is supposed to enable a 
      number of more or less documented things that are not possible with mere 
      filenames, e.g. the handling of virtual folders.
      Now, in my humble experience, these extras are not used most of the times, 
      but take away speed all of the times which is very noticeable when there 
      are a lot of files involved. So here's an option to turn that off. 
      Actually it is now turned off by factory default and also for upgraders.
      - This setting only affects outgoing cross-app Clipboard and Drag-and-drop.
        Within XYplorer "Shell IDList Array" is not used anyway.
      - Drag-and-drop is only affected if "Use standard shell drag and drop" is 
        not ticked. The standard shell drag and drop adds the "Shell IDList 
        Array" automatically.
      - The recently added ClipboardSkipShidFrom tweak only kicks in when this 
        option is enabled.
      - To summarize: If you frequently press Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X or drag large 
        numbers of files, leave this option unticked to get a ton of speed.
    * Status Bar: Now the width of the sections 1 and 2 adjusts to the font size 
      (Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels, or 
      Ctrl+Wheel over the Status Bar). It's not on-the-fly this time but needs a 
      restart.
    ! Live Filters and Visual Filters: Comparison operators did not work well 
      with certain length values, e.g. "Length: >= 00:03:29". Fixed.
:info: To update to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. To download it, choose a 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.

    + Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Miscellaneous: Added 
      option "Recreate source folder structure". Here you can decide whether the 
      relative folder structure present in the source items should be recreated 
      in the target location, aka Rich Copy/Move. The dropdown offers three 
      choices: Ask, Always, and Never. Factory default is Ask.
      - "Rich sources" typically come from recursive search results or branch 
        views.
      - Hereby the tweak AutoRichFileOps (v17.00.0105 - 2016-08-15 18:02) is 
        raised to UI.
    + Pasting lots of files: Now you can ESC the process while the clipboard is 
      being retrieved.
    ! Pasting lots of files: The app seemed to freeze if you did things while 
      the clipboard was being retrieved. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0182.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.139.

    * Catalog: For performance reasons it did not resolve icons for network 
      locations on startup. From now on, this behavior is tied to the setting of 
      "Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | No network browsing on 
      startup". If that is not ticked then you will see your network icons right 
      away.
    ! SC status: The icon did not survive a Dark/Light mode swap. Fixed. Example:
        status "It's <date hh:nn:ss.fff> now.";
    ! Mini Tree: On startup it didn't show special icons for locations on a 
      mapped drive if "Allow zombies in the Mini Tree" was OFF. Fixed.

    ! Live Filters and Visual Filters: Comparison operators did not work well

      their duration strings differ in length at the beginning (eg: 42:26.000 vs 
      01:12:64.000) because of lacking left-padding, which BTW is okay because 
      it improves readability. Fixed.

v22.50.0209 - 2021-12-03 17:14
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates: Added section "Status Bar" 
      with a text box where you can define a template for the 3rd section of the 
      status bar.
      FYI, the tweak StatusBar3OnFile from v7.20.0010 - 2008-06-18 12:22 (!) is 
      hereby raised to UI. It just became too good to be hidden in the dark.
    + SC get(bytesselected): Now (well, since 20211130) you can pass a flag to 
      show thousand separators in the return:
      Syntax: get("BytesSelected", [pane=a], [flags])
        flags: 1=show thousand separators
    + SC get got a new named argument "LengthsSelected". Returns the sum for the 
      durations of all selected media files.
      Syntax: get("LengthsSelected", [pane=a], [flags])
        flags: 1=show milliseconds
        return: Sum of durations in format [hh:]nn:ss[.fff].
      Remark:
        It's not necessary that a Length column is shown. The values are pulled 
        directly from the files, not from a column.
      Examples:
        text <get LengthsSelected>;      //hide msecs
        text <get LengthsSelected a 1>;  //show msecs (a = placeholder for active pane)
