    * List | Column Headers: Text color slightly lighter and bluer (as in Win 10 
      File Explorer default theme) if it's a black on white theme.

It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)

    * Mouse Down Blow Up and Thumbnails: From now on you cannot left- or 
      right-drag a file by the thumbnail anymore when Mouse Down Blow Up is 
      enabled. Advantage: The blow-up is click-instant now. No need anymore to 
      hold down the mouse for 150 msecs.
      FYI, to drag the file in thumbnails view you can drag it by the caption.
      If you still want the previous behavior you can use this new tweak:
        MDBUAllowDragByThumb=1

Code: Select all

v19.00.0200 - 2018-06-26 14:00
    = MAINTENANCE RELEASE.
  +++ Portable Devices. Microsoft had broken XYplorer's portable devices support 
      with Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators Update), and you could not see or 
      manage files on your phone, tablet, or camera anymore.
      XYplorer v19.00.0200 now successfully works around this bug and restores 
      full portable devices support for all versions of Windows 10.

    + Toolbar: Now the button push effect (image is shifted 1 pixel down and 
      right on push) is optional. You can toggle it in Tools | Customize Toolbar 
      | Options | Button Push Effect.
      Before, the button push effect was hard-coded to ON. Now the new factory 
      default is OFF. Going with the times...
    + Tools | Customize List | Ignore Articles When Sorting: Now the setting is 
      also applied to Custom Columns. So now you can use it to sort your audio 
      files by artist name, song title, album title etc., ignoring all those 
      "the" and "a".
    + Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Natural numeric sort 
      order: Now the setting is also applied to Extra Columns (it had been 
      already applied to Custom Columns).
    ! HTML Preview: App got auto-foregrounded (some "smartness" by the dumb
      WebBrowser control) when the previewed HTML file was changed by another 
      process. Fixed. Now the preview ignores changes by other processes if the 
      app is in the background.
    > Portable Devices: Seems like Windows Server OSs do not automatically 
      support the MTP protocol needed to talk to portable devices. Added some 
      debug info to the error message you will see when starting up on those OSs.

    * List: Now the Ext column shows the extension in the original case. Before, 
      it was shown in lower case.
      If you still want the old behavior there is a new tweak:
        ListColumnExtLowerCase=1
    * SC getpathcomponent(), gpc(): Now component "ext" returns the extension in 
      the original case. Before, it was returned in lower case.
        echo  getpathcomponent(, "ext");
    * SC get(): Now get("curitem", "ext") returns the extension in the original 
      case. Before, it was returned in lower case.
        echo get("curitem", "ext");
    * Tree: Before, when drag-drop-moving a folder to a new parent that parent 
      was expanded afterwards to show the new child. This does not happen 
      anymore. Too smart, too annoying.
      If you still want the old behavior there is a new tweak:
        TreeExpandTargetFolder=1
    * Portable Devices: In Windows Server editions before 2016 portable devices 
      had not been supported by factory default. In such environments XYplorer 
      would greet you with error 429 on startup. Well, not anymore.

    + SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can have it return all items in their 
      current order. Of course, this is only useful when combined with style 16, 
      otherwise the order is always the one from the original listdata.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], _
                  [cancel], [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselect])
        style: 
           16 = Allow user to re-order items with drag & drop. Also Ctrl+Up/Down can be used.
          512 = Return all items in their current order.
      Example:
        text inputselect("Test", "a|b|c|d", 3:=512+16);
    ! Fixed a number of various little glitches and optimized some network 
      related speed issues.

    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Added option "Allow dragging 
      items by the thumbnail". Tick it to enable dragging items by the 
      thumbnail. The price you pay for this is a 150 msec delay before you get 
      the blow up (in case you don't drag). XYplorer uses this time to decide 
      whether you intend a drag or a blow up.
      Note that if unticked you can still drag a file in thumbnails view by 
      grabbing it by the caption.
      This lifts the MDBUAllowDragByThumb tweak to the UI.
    * Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Renamed "On file icons as 
      well" to "Enable blow ups on file icons as well". Had the space and the 
      time.
    * Updated the help file.

    + SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can list a bunch of files and show them 
      with the icon but without the path. Fully automatic, just pass bit 2048.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], _
                  [cancel], [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselect])
        style: 
         2048 = Show file items without the path (filename only).
      Remarks:
        The full path is returned for selected list item on OK.
      Example (lists the current folder):
        text inputselect("Test", listfolder(), , 1 + 2048);
    + SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can define up to three predefined fields 
      in the listdata, separated by |: Caption|Data|Icon
        Caption:  Caption to display in the list.
        Data:     String returned for the selected list item on OK.
                  If the Data field is missing/empty the Caption field is returned.
        Icon:     Full path to a file item used for the icon that's shown in the list.
                  If the Icon field is missing/empty the Data field is used for the icon.
                  If the Data field is also missing/empty the Caption field is used for the icon.
                  Note that "style" needs bit 1 to actually show any icons.
      Remarks:
        - Bit 1024 has to be set in the "style" argument to enable this feature.
        - You obviously cannot use the default separator "|" to separate the 
          items from each other when you use these "|"-separated fields. Any 
          separator without the "|" character will do.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], _
                  [cancel], [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselect])
        style: 
         1024 = Listdata has fields.
      Example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  $list = <<<>>>
C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
7-Zip|C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
7-Zip|7-Zip Selected|C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
>>>;

  text inputselect("Test: Caption|Data|Icon", $list, <crlf>, 1 + 1024);

  // 1st entry: Caption           -> Caption, Return, Icon: C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
  // 2nd entry: Caption|Data      -> Caption: 7-Zip; Return, Icon: C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
  // 3rd entry: Caption|Data|Icon -> Caption: 7-Zip; Return: 7-Zip Selected; Icon: C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ! Tree: After an auto-refresh of a (non-mini) tree due to plug in/out of USB 
      drives or portable devices any expanded network branches came back fully 
      collapsed. Fixed.
    ! List: Dbl-clicking a folder with extension "LNK" (eg: "folder.lnk") would 
      not open it but jump to "This PC". Fixed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.
