Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v16.00.0001 - 2015-11-17 17:28
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /l (lower case L) by which you can 
      explicitly force Search In List (SIL). This switch is only necessary when 
      your passed list of search locations contains only folders, no files, AND 
      you want to check these folders against the search criteria.
        /l      Explicit Search In List (SIL)
      For example, if ListToSearch.txt contains only folders, this will return 
      all of them starting with "m" and nothing else:
        text quicksearch("m* /nl", readfile("C:\Temp\ListToSearch.txt"));
      Note that you get *implicit* SIL whenever the list of passed search 
      locations contains at least one file. In that case the switch is without 
      any effect.
    * Floating Preview: From now on right-button-panning cropped images is only 
      possible if no left-button-panning is possible (i.e. if MDBU is on).
    ! Floating Preview: Drawing not refreshed when toggling White Border 
      (Ctrl+W) and Flipped (F). Fixed.
    ! Floating Preview: Fine Zoom (Shift+Numpad Add/Subtract) did not work 
      anymore since the recent changes concerning keyboard shortcuts. Fixed.
    ! Obfuscate: Network Comments were not yet obfuscated. Fixed.
    ! Dual Pane: Panes could get confused when you browsed to a new location in 
      the inactive pane while the active pane was still busy with creating a 
      Branch View. 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.

v16.00.0002 - 2015-11-17 21:53
    + Floating Preview: Ehm, re-added the recently removed option "Allow Custom 
      Keyboard Shortcuts in Preview". It's good to have a choice here. Factory 
      default is OFF. Also on upgrading from 16.00 it will be set to off.
      My apologies to the translators.
    + Floating Preview: Now for cropped previews the dimensions of the visible 
      part are shown in the status bar ("cropped to ...").

v16.00.0003 - 2015-11-18 11:42
    + Floating Preview: Now the scaling percentage is shown in the window title.
  *** Network: In v10.70.0207 - 2012-01-12 18:39 a new way of enumerating 
      network servers was introduced. Now it seems that the old way was overall 
      more reliable. Therefore the factory default has now been reverted to use 
      the old way. Also on upgrading to this version the old way is set.
      In case you prefer to stick with the "new way" (i.e. the way used from 
      v10.70.0207 to v16.00.0002) you can set this tweak:
        NetworkNetServerEnum=0

        text tab("get", "filter", [index]); //Visual Filter
      Returns the Visual Filter (if any) of the tab referred to by index.
    * Tabs: Win 10 seems to draw the tab headers differently from earlier 
      Windows versions (1 pixel off). Sigh. Attempt to work around this.
    ! Floating Preview: Zoom was not remembered between Floating Preview 
      sessions when Lock Zoom was ON but Lock Zoom Position was OFF. Fixed.

v16.00.0005 - 2015-11-19 13:21
    * Network: I overreacted a bit in v16.00.0003. After all, the "new way" 
      worked for thousands of users for 3 years without any complaints until 
      recently. So here is a better solution:
      - XY now acts like this: First try the "new way", but if it fails then 
        fall back to the "old way". That way you get both worlds, one after the 
        other.
      - If you don't even want to try the "new way" use this tweak:
        NetworkNetServerEnum=1
    ! Network: You were not prompted for login when opening a protected server 
      from the list while the maxi tree was locked. Fixed.

    + Floating Preview: Added a half-secret keyboard-only function to snap the 
      FP window to the main window: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D. I need this mainly for my 
      promotional screenshots, but maybe you can use it, too.

    + SC tab enhanced: New operation "default" to set the default tab of the 
      current pane.
      Syntax: tab([operation], [data], [index])
        operation
          "default" = set tab as default

          1 = set default
        index: tab to set as default (if missing then current tab)

      Examples:
        text tab("default", 1 , 2); //make 2nd tab the default tab
        text tab("default"); //toggle "Default" for the current tab
      Returns the Visual Filter (if any) of the tab referred to by index.
    + SC get enhanced: Now it can return the index of the default tab.
      Syntax: get("defaulttab", [param1])
        param1:
          a = [default] active pane
          i = inactive pane

    * Floating Preview: Now the filename is not shown in the status bar anymore 
      (unless in Full Screen mode, where you don't have a window title bar 
      showing the filename). Reason: Save space for more interesting info.
    * Floating Preview: The full path filename is now always shown in the first 
      line of the tooltip and of the data used by the Copy Data command (they 
      are identical to the tooltip).
    ! Time Stamping: Since v15.90.0020 - 2015-11-08 19:28 adding dates with PM 
      is possible, however there was a bug: they were treated as if they were AM 
      (i.e. 12 hours too early). Fixed.

Code: Select all

v16.00.0106 - 2015-11-22 16:40
    + Added tweak to fine-tune what is watched by Auto-refresh. If this tweak is 
      set it is processed before the following settings are processed:
        - Include network locations (Refresh, Icons, History - Auto-Refresh)
        - Include removable drives (Refresh, Icons, History - Auto-Refresh)
        - Refresh during file operations (Refresh, Icons, History - Auto-Refresh)
      The tweak value consists of a list of locations, separated by | (pipe). 
      XYplorer variables and environment variables are allowed here. To include 
      a location's subfolders suffix a * (asterisk). To exclude a location from 
      Auto-refresh prefix a - (minus). The list is processed from left to 
      right. The first match wins.
      For example:
        WatchIt=-%user%\Downloads|C:\*|-N:\*
      This would mean the following:
        1) -%user%\Downloads = exclude path %user%\Downloads from Auto-refresh.
        2) Include anything on drive C: in Auto-refresh.
        3) Exclude anything on drive N: from Auto-refresh.
      Use Case:
        Windows sometimes does not recognize a removable drive as removable. 
        This will trick XYplorer into watching this drive even if you turned off 
        "Include removable drives". When you now try to eject the drive it will 
        be locked by XYplorer and refuse ejection.
        This simple tweak can work around this Windows issue, assuming the drive 
        letter is N. It will suspend Auto-refresh when you browse any folder on 
        this drive:
          WatchIt=-N:\*
    + New Items on UAC: Since v14.80.0208 - 2015-01-22 21:00 you can create a 
      new folder or a new file in UAC protected locations using a non-elevated 
      instance of XYplorer, but one protected location was still missing from 
      the list: C:\Program Files (%ProgramW6432%). Here is the revised list:
        %HOMEDRIVE%
        %ALLUSERSPROFILE%*
        %ProgramFiles%*
        %ProgramFiles(x86)%*
        %ProgramW6432%*
        %WinDir%*      
    * Configuration | Startup & Exit | No network browsing on startup: Now this 
      setting will also skip polling the bytes of network drives in the drives 
      listing on startup.
    ! Floating Preview: In Full Screen mode the invisible window title bar was 
      not updated to the current filename and scale percentage. Fixed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

v16.00.0107 - 2015-11-22 21:54
    * Floating Preview: Now when the current scaling is implied (not explicitly 
      set by the user but also affected by the dimensions of the image and the 
      size of the preview window) then the scale percentage displayed in the 
      window title bar is in square brackets. In that case the scale will 
      usually change when you load a new image with different dimensions.
    ! Network: Issues with network enumeration on some non-English systems 
      (since a couple of versions ago). Fixed.

    * Drives Listing: Now polling the bytes is always skipped for mapped network 
      drives. There is no fast and reliable way to detect whether the drives are 
      available or not.
    * Floating Preview | Title Bar: Inverted (almost) the yesterday's changes in 
      v16.00.0106. Now the percentage is shown in square brackets when Zoom 
      In/Out is in effect.
    ! List: In Full Row Select style the focus line was not drawn when the Name 
      column was out of view. Fixed.

    * Network: Experimentally the login prompt is now also popped on 
      ERROR_BAD_NETPATH ("The network path was not found."). Makes sense on 
      servers that restrict share enumeration to authenticated users.
    ! Scripting | Foreach | Flag "e": The innermost Foreach loops broke out of 
      all Foreach loops if the list for the innermost loop was empty and flag 
      was set to "e". Fixed.

v16.00.0201 - 2015-11-25 22:39
    + Rename Special | Batch Rename: Now Batch Rename supports move on rename, 
      tada! This feature allows you to automatically move masses of files by 
      certain criteria to certain folders, for example by their modified date 
      using the following Batch Rename pattern:
        <datem yyyy-mm-dd>\*              = by day
        <datem yyyy-mm>\*                 = by month
        <datem yyyy>\*                    = by year
      A more popular use case would probably be to automatically move photos to 
      folders based on each file's embedded exif date taken:
        <dateexif yyyy-mm-dd>\*              = by day
        <dateexif yyyy-mm>\*                 = by month
        <dateexif yyyy>\*                    = by year
      And, of course, using the powerful <prop> variable you can achieve 
      quite some cool automation here, e.g. distribute photos to folders 
      according to their Aspect Ratio, their Film Simulation Mode, or many many 
      other properties.
      Notes:
      - "Configuration | Sort and Rename | Rename | Allow move on rename" has to 
        be is ticked to enable this functionality.
      - Move on Rename works only with the same volume (same drive letter).
      - The necessary subfolders are automatically created under the parent 
        folders of the files.
      - Nice plus: The Rename Preview lets you see the target paths before 
        anything actually happens.
    * Various Information | UTC Offset: Changed whacky "-00:00" to "±00:00".
