    + Preview: Now you can preview EXE files, in case you have Quick View Plus 
      installed or some other viewer that can extract some usable information 
      from executables.
      Note: You need to manually add EXE to the previewed formats in category 
      "Office Files" to make this work.
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.

v17.90.0302 - 2017-05-24 09:46
    + Preview: Yesterday's move did not work out. So here is another one. Added 
      tweak CustomPreviewHandlerFallback (for now, can do something better 
      later) to specify a "fallback" preview handler GUID. This will care for all 
      filetypes for which no preview handler is registered, and throw the 
      specified GUID onto them. For Quick View Plus, for example, this GUID is 
      {8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}.
      So you would tweak like this to preview EXE file using QVP:
        CustomPreviewHandlerFallback={8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}
      Of course, Quick View Plus has be installed on the system.
      And you still need to manually add EXE to the previewed formats in 
      category "Office Files" to make this work. This can be stream-lined 
      later.
    * Status Bar: Free-space-left for junctions & symbolic links is now reported 
      for their target drive also in the left section of the Status Bar.

    + Live Filter Box: Added option "Persistent Live Filters". Currently it's
      available only in the context menu of the Live Filter Box icon. Later it 
      will be added to the Configuration dialog. Tick it to make Live Filters 
      persistent:
      - Live Filters survive tab switches, i.e. they are still active when you 
        come back to a filtered tab.
      - Live Filters survive across sessions, i.e. you can start up with a live 
        filtered tab.
      - Live Filters persist across folders, i.e. when you browse to a new 
        folder in the same tab the filter remains active.
      - Note: New tabs are opened unfiltered, but they inherit the last used 
        filter from the current tab. So you can turn it on by Toggle Live Filter 
        (Ctrl+Alt+F3).
    ! Outlook Drop: Particular messages would raise an error 5 message. Fixed.

v17.90.0401 - 2017-06-02 12:04
  +++ Configuration | Previewed Formats: Added category "User-Defined Preview 
      Handlers". Here you can associate file types (identified by the extension) 
      directly with the GUID of any installed 32-bit preview handler. It's your 
      job to find out the GUID and whether the handler if fit to preview this 
      type of files. So this is definitely an advanced feature.
      
      The syntax is simple. For example, this definition would associate EXE 
      files with the Quick View Plus handler:
        exe>{8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}
      The displayed item in the list comes with some additional human-friendly 
      information for your pleasure, for example:
        *.exe, Executable File > {8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}, Quick View Plus - Preview Handler
      
      Notes:      
      - A new Edit button allows you to edit existing definitions (also 
        user-defined items in other categories). Alternatively, F2 will invoke 
        the Edit interface.
        Tip: You can easily multiply associations by adding extensions separated 
        by a semicolon, e.g.:
          exe;bat>{8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}
      - User-Defined Preview Handlers has precedence over all other categories. 
        So this is the complete order of precedence (the order in which a given 
        extension is checked against the categories):
          User-Defined Preview Handlers
          Text Files
          Office Files
          Web Files
          Font Files
          Image Files
          Audio Files
          Video Files
      - Contrary to other categories you can have more than one definition for 
        the same extension in the list. So you can quickly de/activate a preview 
        handler by changing some checkmarks. Fictitious example:
          - txt>{1B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}
          + txt>{2B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}
          - txt>{3B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}
        The list is processed from top to bottom, unchecked items are ignored, 
        the first match wins.
      - With UDPHs (User-defined Preview Handlers) you gain unprecedented 
        control over the preview of particular file types. For example, if you 
        have more than one image preview handler on the system, you can now 
        easily define which is used for which image type, without going into the 
        configuration of each preview handler or editing the registry.
      - This feature also increases portability: You can re-associate preview 
        handlers without touching the registry of the host system.
      - Last not least, now MSG files can be previewed (at least using Quick 
        View Plus).
    
    - Tweak CustomPreviewHandlerMSG removed. UDPH is the way now.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

Code: Select all

v18.00.0000 - 2017-06-06 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Persistent Live Filters. Now optionally Live Filters persist across 
      folders, and are remembered across tab switches and across sessions. 
  +++ User-Defined Preview Handlers. Now you can freely associate particular 
      file types with particular preview handlers. This means full preview 
      control without touching the registry.

v17.90.0404 - 2017-06-06 17:45 - unpublished
    ! SC gettoken: Parameter "count" did not work correctly with an empty 
      separator. In that case it should return the number of characters. Fixed. 
      Example:
        echo gettoken("abcde", "count", ""); //5
    * Updated the help file.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.89.

v18.00.0001 - 2017-06-08 16:57
    + Added tweak auto-focus the list after left-clicking a tree item:
        SetFocusToListAfterTree=1
      Note that it's mouse only: After any keyboard action the focus remains in 
      the tree.
      Tip: To still focus the tree by mouse left-click the white space.
    * Custom Copy: Now when the operation is complete or canceled the progress 
      display in the taskbar button is removed and the button returns to its 
      normal state. From Windows 7 onwards.
      For now only implemented in foreground operations; XYcopy follows soon.

    + Tweak: Unified the various "Set Focus To..." tweaks in one bit field key:
        SetFocusTo=(bit field)
                    1 = Tree > List
                    2 = Catalog > List
                    4 = Address Bar > List (this one is NEW)
      For example, to enable all the focus shifts you simply add 1+2+4=7:
        SetFocusTo=7
    - These old tweaks have been removed (replaced by SetFocusTo):
        SetFocusToListAfterTree
        SetFocusToListAfterCatalog

v18.00.0005 - 2017-06-14 17:39
    + SC popupmenu/popupnested enhanced: Now you can add XYplorer menu commands 
      to your scripted menu, identified by simply their ID. You get the original 
      captions (in your language) with keyboard shortcuts, and even the checked 
      state (where applicable) is shown. When you click a command it is executed 
      as if clicked in the main menu.
      You now can as well add XYplorer toolbar buttons to your scripted menu, 
      identified by their key. The captions of the buttons are used as menu 
      captions, and the button graphics as menu icons.
      - The menu commands have to be stated by the command ID prefixed with "#".
      - The toolbar buttons have to be stated by the button key prefixed with ":". 
        Tip: Hold CTRL while you click "Customize Toolbar..." to see the 
        button keys in the button listing.
      - Note that the on/off (pressed/unpressed) state of the toolbar buttons 
        can not be shown in the menu. This is about the only little drawback 
        here.
      - Additionally, to ensure that no old code is broken, the flag bit "2" has 
        to be set, meaning that this menu may contain command IDs or button keys.
      - You can freely mix your own menu items with XY menu commands and toolbar buttons.
      - You can add icons to XY menu commands and toolbar buttons (overwriting 
        the original button graphics) if you like.
      - This is hot stuff. You can now easily design the custom menu of your 
        dreams, including a home-grown vertical toolbar.
      Examples:
        // menu commands only
        popupmenu("#101|#102|-|#800|#801|#802", 5:=2);
        // toolbar buttons only
        popupmenu(":copypath|:dp|:pp", 5:=2);
        // mixed commands
        popupnested("Copy Commands| :copypath| #102|Dual Pane Commands| #800| #801| #802", 5:=2);
        // mixed commands with toolbar icons
        popupnested("Copy Commands| #101;;:copypath| #102|Dual Pane Commands| #800;;:dp| #801| #802", 5:=2);
    + List | Selections Context Menu: Added commands "Move to Other Pane" and 
      "Copy to Other Pane" to the menu. They are only shown if Dual Pane is 
      enabled.
    + Tweak TabIPVisualStyle 3: Added more lines.
    + Toolbar: Hold CTRL while you click "Customize Toolbar..." to see the 
      button keys in the button listing.
      FYI, button keys could already be seen when you right-clicked a User Button 
      and selected "Customize Toolbar...".
    + Breadcrumb Bars: Experimentally added a Hamburger button to the navigation 
      buttons. It pops a small menu with currently these commands:
        Move to Other Pane
        Copy to Other Pane
        New Folder
        Copy Path/Name
      Note that the menu is not as smart as the main menu in that items are not 
      auto-disabled when no files are currently selected. The menu assumes you 
      know what you are doing...
      The menu can be made totally tweakable later.
