Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v21.60.0007 - 2021-03-21 20:07
+ Toolbar | Paper Folders | Allow Zombies: Now with "Allow Zombies" enabled
you can add virtually anything to a Paper Folder: Drives, Servers, Shares,
Special Folders (Desktop, [User]), Abstract Folders (This PC, Network, Recycle
Bin), Environment Variables (%user%), XY native variables (<xydata>),
relative paths (..\backup) (relative to app path).
This is kind of a semi-official power user feature because it has a couple
of natural shortcomings:
- The Paper Folder list is made for files and folders, so many columns
just don't make sense for those kind of "special" items.
- You usually cannot drag these items into a Paper Folder, so you have to
manually edit the Paper Folder source file in a text editor, or add the
items by scripting.
- For internal reasons and to make them recognizable as pseudo folders
those items get the following fake file attributes:
- S for System
- D for Directory
- A for Archive
So, what can you do with these items in the Paper Folder?
- See their contents in the Hover Box.
- MDBU on their contents (ATM not yet working for This PC and Network!)
- Open them.
For example, this freaky stuff is possible now in the Paper Folder source
file on "Allow Zombies":

! Floating Preview: Under certain conditions when switching from a
browser-based preview (HTML) to a video preview, the browser-based preview
remained visible. Fixed.
! SC inputselect: Filenames that began with certain AB prefixes (eg ! or @)
in an inputselect had their generic filetype icon hijacked by special AB
icons. Fixed.
! Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Apply zoom: When
doing a text MDBU right after an image MDBU the text preview could come
out weirdly distorted. Fixed.
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.
