Code: Select all
v14.00.0108 - 2014-05-09 21:10
+++ Click and Search: Catalog categories now can be turned into something that
will make searching for files your favorite pastime.
- To enable the feature open a category's Properties dialog and tick "Use
category for searching".
- All items in such a category are expected to contain search patterns.
Currently you will have to add them manually (later there will some cool
automatic ways). Tip: Press INS to quickly add an item.
Examples for Pattern:
*.png
!*.png (NOT *.png)
prop:#AspectRatio: 16:9
tags:jazz
tags:rock
tags:pop
:a* OR b* /n (a Boolean term, with a switch)
Clicking an item will run the search (it's like a Quick Name Search) for
the current location (the Location defined in the Category, see below,
is not used now).
- The items can be individually enabled via checkboxes.
- Clicking the category will run a combined search of all ticked items.
- A combined search can be either AND- or OR-combined. This can be
configured in the category's Properties dialog.
Any switches are removed from the combined terms.
- Toggling the state of any item's checkbox will also run a combined
search. Hold CTRL to suppress this trigger.
- In the category's Properties dialog there is also a Location field.
Leave it empty to always search the current location. Else enter any
path. Enter * (asterisk) to search the whole PC.
In the Location field you can also enter search switches (after the path
if there is one). So here is the place to control whether the search is
recursive (/r) or not (/n), or whether only the tags database should be
searched (/t).
Examples for Location:
E:\Test = search E:\Test (Include Subfolders is taken from the setting in the Find Files tab)
E:\Test /r = search E:\Test (Include Subfolders)
E:\Test /n = search E:\Test (Do Not Include Subfolders)
E:\Test;E:\Pics = search E:\Test and E:\Pics
/r = search the current location (Include Subfolders)
* = search the whole PC
/t = search the tags database only (for items in the current location)
* /t = search the tags database only (for items anywhere)
- This is insane. Especially for tag-based file management.
! Locked Tree: Would not apply a Visual Filter from a Catalog Item where the
path was identical to the current path. Fixed.
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.
