Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v22.50.0201 - 2021-11-30 12:03
+ Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop: Added option
"Extended compatibility for clipboard and drag and drop".
The Windows Clipboard and Drag-and-drop functionality share the same data
structures, and many years ago someone clearly not into speed invented a
clumsy thing called the "Shell IDList Array". It is supposed to enable a
number of more or less documented things that are not possible with mere
filenames, e.g. the handling of virtual folders.
Now, in my humble experience, these extras are not used most of the times,
but take away speed all of the times which is very noticeable when there
are a lot of files involved. So here's an option to turn that off.
Actually it is now turned off by factory default and also for upgraders.
- This setting only affects outgoing cross-app Clipboard and Drag-and-drop.
Within XYplorer "Shell IDList Array" is not used anyway.
- Drag-and-drop is only affected if "Use standard shell drag and drop" is
not ticked. The standard shell drag and drop adds the "Shell IDList
Array" automatically.
- The recently added ClipboardSkipShidFrom tweak only kicks in when this
option is enabled.
- To summarize: If you frequently press Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X or drag large
numbers of files, leave this option unticked to get a ton of speed.
* Status Bar: Now the width of the sections 1 and 2 adjusts to the font size
(Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels, or
Ctrl+Wheel over the Status Bar). It's not on-the-fly this time but needs a
restart.
! Live Filters and Visual Filters: Comparison operators did not work well
with certain length values, e.g. "Length: >= 00:03:29". Fixed.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.

This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
