v23.00.0316 - 2022-05-17 18:39
    + SC property enhanced: Added argument #NoSubs to return whether a folder has 
      subfolders or not.
      The #NoSubs and #Empty return values mean the same with two exceptions:
      - #Empty:   The return value 2 means "this is a folder without contents".
                  The return value 6 means "this is a folder with contents".
      - #NoSubs:  The return value 2 means "this is a folder without subfolders".
                  The return value 6 means "this is a folder with subfolders".
      For example, if you define Color Filter definitions in this order...
        +B:prop:#empty:2|s>FFFF00,FF6FB7
        +L:prop:#nosubs:2|s>FFFF00,7088FE
      ... then totally empty folders will be pink, and folders without subfolders will be 
      violet. This definition would color folders *with* subfolders:
        +L:prop:#nosubs:6|s>FFFF00,7088FE
      Note the "L" scope with #NoSubs. This Color Filter is not necessary in the 
      tree because there you already have the expansion icons with the same meaning.
      BTW, L: is optional and as well can be omitted:
        +prop:#nosubs:6|s>FFFF00,7088FE

v23.00.0318 - 2022-05-19 10:46
    + Color Filters: Added tweak to apply the text color only to the Name column.
        ColorFilterNameOnly=1
      Affects only text-color-only filters since filters with back colors are only applied 
      to the Name column anyway.
      Will be added to UI later.
    ! Color Filters: Fixed a couple of glitches related to default text and back colors, 
      and Dark Mode.
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Cache 
      search results: Cache went totally out of sync with reality in a Read-Only instance. 
      Fixed: Now search results caching is not done in Read-Only Mode.
    ! The speed improvements in v23.00.0309 - 2022-05-13 15:37 resulted in a complete 
      malfunction in Windows XP. Fixed.

    * List: Now a horizontally scrolled list maintains its scrolling position when the 
      content changes in the same location, usually through filtering. Previously, the 
      list was scrolled all the way to the left when the number of items got smaller than 
      before (but not when it got larger than before, pfff...).

  +++ Wheel Through The List Views. Now you can scroll through the available 10 list views 
      with the wheel, Ctrl+Wheel to be precise.
  +++ Auto-repeat Search At Next Location. Now you can automatically repeat the current

Code: Select all

v23.10.0001 - 2022-05-23 14:30
    + Variables: Now permanent variables can be accessed from anywhere in the app using 
      the new <perm ...> meta variable. Example:
        perm $xy = "XYplorer"; echo "Perm test: <perm xy>.";  //Perm test: XYplorer.
      Once the permanent variable is defined you can always access it wherever XY native 
      variables are supported, e.g. as path in the address bar:
        C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\<perm xy>\
      If a permanent variable does not exist, <perm ...> is not resolved:
        echo "Perm test: <perm grrg>.";  //Perm test: <perm grrg>.      
      So you now can have user defined global variables that persist across sessions.
    > Tip: You can review and change your permanent variables at any time using the 
      "Scripting | Permanent Variables" command.
    ! Reading Text Files: In some contexts, including scripting, text files with mixed EOL 
      characters were not correctly parsed into lines. Fixed.

    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | 
      Persistent live filters: From now on, Live Filters will not persist anymore on 
      automatic tab switches (i.e. location change while being on a locked tab).
    ! Permanent Variables: They were loaded a bit too late for all possible contexts of 
      the new <perm ...>. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Clipboard Markers | Dimmed icons: The 
      combination Cut-Dimmed + Selected-Dimmed lead to some small white areas around some 
      icons, mostly visible over thumbnails. Fixed.

    * List Columns | Aspect Ratio: Now the column is correctly sorted by the actual 
      quotient (eg 0.5), not by the term of the quotient (eg 1:2).
    * Special Property | Aspect Ratio: Now the actual quotient (eg 0.5) is searched and 
      filtered, not the term of the quotient (eg 1:2). For example, this will give you all 
      images equal to or wider than 2:1:
        prop:#AspectRatio: >= 2:1
      Wider than DIN 476 (aka Din A) landscape:
        prop:#AspectRatio: > √2:1
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Name & Location | Find hidden: Accelerator changed from d 
      to n. This frees Alt+D for "Focus Address Bar".

    * Special Property | Aspect Ratio: Completely rewrote the whole thing. It now needs 
      less code, less energy, and less time for sorting, filtering, and searching.
      The speed comes at a small price: aspect ratios are only differentiated between 1:99 
      and 99:1. More extreme ratios are simply subsumed under 1:99 or 99:1.
    * Hover Box: Now images that are not as wide as the box are centered horizontally in 
      the box. Previously, they were left-aligned.
    * Background Activity: Clipboard manipulation while XY was in the background could 
      result in larger tree and list refresh operations. I decided that this should 
      probably not happen.
