    * Find Files, Quick Search, Visual Filters, Live Filter Box, Color Filters: 
      Unified the meaning of tags patterns (Comment, Label, Tags). Now these 
      work the same in Find Files, Quick Search, Visual Filters, Live Filter 
      Box, and Color Filters (examples for "lbl:"; "cmt:" and "tags:" work just 
      the same):
        
        Pattern     Matches all items...
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        lbl:        with or without any label (but being in tag DB)
        lbl:*       with or without any label (but being in tag DB)
        lbl:""      without any label (but being in tag DB)
        lbl:?*      with any label
        
        Inversions Type 1 (see Note 1 and Note 2 below)
        !lbl:       not in tag DB
        !lbl:*      not in tag DB
        !lbl:""     not (without any label AND in tag DB)
        !lbl:?*     without any label (regardless of being in tag DB)

        Inversions Type 2 (see Note 1 and Note 2 below)
        lbl:!       with label "!"
        lbl:!*      (same as Inversions 1)
        lbl:!""     (same as Inversions 1)
        lbl:!?*     (same as Inversions 1)
        
        - Note 1: For inversions by "!" to work Find Files and Quick Search need 
          this enabled: Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch 
          View | Find Files | Enable extended pattern matching
        - Note 2: The Live Filter Box does not support inversions.
    ! Raw View | Tail: Did not work correctly when file was longer than 
      MaxBytesTextPreview. Fixed.

    * Hover Box: The size of the image preview is now DPI-aware, i.e. it gets 
      bigger with the general system DPI. At 100% it's 500x500 pixels (bounding 
      box), at 125% it's now 625x625, etc.

    * The keyboard shortcut scope for the following functions is now Tree-only: 
        Miscellaneous / Tree / Fully Collapse Drive #1009 Ctrl+Numpad Divide
        Miscellaneous / Tree / Fully Collapse       #1010 Numpad Divide
        Miscellaneous / Tree / Fully Expand         #1011 Numpad Multiply
        Miscellaneous / Tree / Optimize Tree        #1040 Shift+Numpad Divide
      Before, it was Tree and List, but it's confusing and totally non-standard 
      to trigger tree changing functions by typing into the List.
    - Layout: Removed tweak to exclude the Breadcrumb Bar from the Wide Tabs 
      (had been added v14.10.0120 - 2014-06-07 12:41).
        TabsWideNoCrumb=1
      It's just ugly and pointless.
    > Tip for Listary users: For unknown reasons Listary will not work reliably 
      with XYplorer if you start the XYplorer with the combination "Wide 
      Tabs"=ON AND "Dual Pane"=OFF.

    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show file info tips has a 
      tooltip and it says: "Show a tooltip when hovering a filename in the file 
      list." However, up to now it was actually hovering the whole Name column 
      width (not only the filename proper) that triggered the File Info Tip / Hover 
      Box. Not anymore! Now you need to hover the filename proper (or the icon) 
      to trigger the the tip or box.
      Of course, the above does not apply if "Show info tips only when hovering 
      file icon" is ticked in which case only the icon is hover-sensitive.
    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show info tips only when 
      hovering file icon: This setting is now ticked by factory default.
      Remember that it applies to File Info Tips as well as to the Hover Box.
      Remember also that in Tiles and Thumbnails views it's always only the 
      caption that is hover-sensitive.
    ! Hover Box: Since 20181006 the Hover Box would not show when you hovered 
      the bottom caption line of a multi-line caption in thumbnails view. Fixed.
    ! Foreground File Operations: In v8.50.0002 - 2009-10-06 20:36 this was 
      added:
        Backup operations: Now Auto-Refresh is auto-suspended while a 
        backup operation is in progress. Makes it smoother and faster.
      This also affects Custom Copy/Move (which did not exist in v8.50.0002).
      However, it should not happen if the "Refresh during file operations" 
      option is active, of course. Fixed.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

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

Code: Select all

v19.30.0000 - 2018-10-29 10:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder Contents Preview. Now you can get a folder contents preview in the 
      Hover Box. Simply hover a folder and see its top 20 items instantly listed 
      in a small popup. Works in the folder tree and the file list. Addictive is 
      an understatement. This will change the way you work. Your file management 
      will become smooth and silent through a reduction of futile clicks.
  +++ Mouse Up Show Down. Now it's available also in the folder tree. Like in 
      the List it works on mouse up on the folder icons. Lets you quickly peek 
      into folders without leaving the current location. Lets you even list and 
      open files right from the tree.
  +++ Canvas Color Toggle. Now you can quickly toggle the background color of 
      the Hover Box for images. Cool feature for photographers.
  +++ Invalid Filename Warning. Now you get a warning in the status bar when a 
      file or folder with an invalid filename (invalid in the Windows shell, not 
      in NTFS) is selected in the file list. Leading or trailing spaces are made 
      visible by a replacement character.
  +++ Horizontal Scrolling. Now Shift+Wheel horizontally scrolls folder tree and 
      file list.

v19.30.0003 - 2018-10-31 19:18
  +++ Hover Box: Now you can get a Zip Contents Preview in the Hover Box. It 
      lists the top 20 items of the hovered ZIP archive.
      - Toggle it here: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show 
        Hover Box | Apply to... | Zip Files
      - Items are sorted by name ascending, folders on top.
      - Of each item you see the icon (CFI honored) and the name.
        Note that of file inside a Zip archive only the generic icons can be 
        shown, so e.g. all EXE files will have the same icon (unless overwritten 
        by CFI rules).
      - In the bottom area of the Hover Box you get the ZIP archive name and basic 
        stats (item count, folder count, file count, total bytes of files).
      - The stats are not recursive but just for the top level of that ZIP 
        archive, i.e. for what you'd see in the preview of that ZIP archive.
      - Shortcuts (LNK) to ZIP archives are resolved and you get the preview of 
        the target ZIP archive.
    + Hover Box: Now you can toggle whether the icon (CFI honored) of the hovered 
      item is shown in the status section of the Hover Box: Simply press key "I".
    + Hover Box: Now you can cycle the status section of the Hover Box: Simply 
      press key "S". Internal values:
        0 = Full Status
        1 = Name Only
        2 = No Status
    + SC Zip_List enhanced:
      - The "flags" parameter got a new value (2) that lets you decide whether 
        to recurse folders or not.
      - In a non-frecursive listing folders are returned with a trailing backslash.
      - The basic properties returned on Flag 1 also include the file type now.
      - You can define the separator used for the properties.
      Note: To avoid breaking old user code, a function variant has been added called 
            "zip_list2". The behavior of old "zip_list" is unchanged.
      Syntax: zip_list2(zipfile, [separator="|"], [flags], [separatorProperties=<tab>])
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = List names plus basic properties (type, size, and modified date).
              Else: List names only.
          2 = Recurse folders.
        separatorProperties:  String that separates the properties (properties 
                              are only shown if flags bit 1 is set).
                              Defaults to <tab> (= TAB character).
      Examples:
        text zip_list2(, <crlf>);     //List selected archive
        text zip_list2(, <crlf>, 1);  //List selected archive, show properties
        text zip_list2(, <crlf>, 2);  //List selected archive, recurse folders
        text zip_list2(, <crlf>, 3);  //List selected archive, recurse folders, show properties
        text zip_list2(, <crlf>, 1, ";");  //List selected archive, show properties, separate by ";"
    * Portability: Up to now XYplorer was using the system temp path (%TEMP%) in 
      a couple of situations. Not anymore! Now it uses its own temp path under the 
      application data folder. This will bring you there "<xydata>\Temp".
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.
