Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v15.70.0127 - 2015-09-20 13:16
    + New temporary variable <pfaitems>, resolves to the items (full path, 
      |-separated) that are being opened by a PFA (Portable File Association). 
      In a script called via PFA, <pfaitems> can be used. After the PFA is 
      processed the variable is reset to nothing.
    ! Find Files: Boolean RegExp had stopped working. Fixed. Now you can again 
      combine RegExp with other RegExp or wildcard patterns like this:
        :>"\d{4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}" AND "*.doc"
        :>"\d{4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}" AND >"\.doc$"
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.

v15.70.0129 - 2015-09-20 20:27
    + SC get enhanced: Now it can return the parsed search query of the most 
      recent search in the current pane (it's stored for each pane separately), 
      in a human-friendly format.
        text <get find_queryparsed>;
      You will get something like this in return:
        NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")
        "*.jpg" AND (NOT path:"*\saturn\*")
        ("*.txt" OR "*.jpg") AND NOT (path:"*css*" OR path:"*html*")
        size: > 1000
        RegEx[\d{4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}] AND RegEx[\.jpg$]
      Note that you get this value only *after* the search has started. Works 
      for both, Find Files and Quick Search.
    > The examples giveN in v15.70.0120 were partly wrong or misleading. It's 
      better to differentiate between Find Files and Quick Search:
      
      Find Files 
      ~~~~~~~~~~
        !:a OR b      is parsed as      NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")
        !:(a OR b)    is parsed as      NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")
        :!(a OR b)    is parsed as      NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")
        !>\x61        is parsed as      NOT RegEx[\x61]
      On FindAllowMasterInvert = 0 (Factory Default):
        :!a OR b      is parsed as     (NOT "*a*") OR "*b*"
      On FindAllowMasterInvert = 1 (NON-Factory Default!):
        :!a OR b      is parsed as      NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")
      
      Quick Search (on FindBoolNoSmartDetect = 0, i.e. Factory Default)
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      All Find Files examples above, and additionally the following:
        !a OR b       is parsed as     (NOT "*a*") OR "*b*"
        !(a OR b)     is parsed as      NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")
      On FindAllowMasterInvert = 0 (Factory Default):
        !a OR b       is parsed as     (NOT "*a*") OR "*b*"
      On FindAllowMasterInvert = 1 (NON-Factory Default!):
        !a OR b       is parsed as      NOT ("*a*" OR "*b*")

    ! Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Enable extended 
      pattern matching: Setting was ignored in a search term like this:
        !a or b
      Without Extended Pattern Matching and no Boolean mode, while still 
      observing LBM (Loose Boolean Match), this should be interpreted like this:
        "*!a*" AND "*or*" AND "*b*"
    ! Find Files: Pattern "!a" was not resolved as "NOT a" anymore (with 
      Extended Pattern Matching enabled, and FindAllowMasterInvert = 0). Fixed.

    * List: Revised the changes from v15.70.0105 - 2015-09-06 17:21.
      Now in Thumbnails and Tiles views, clicking anywhere within the cell will 
      select the item, but you can lasso select from any white space within the 
      cell of an unselected item (which will get selected on mouse down).
      This is exactly as Explorer behaves in Win 8 (and probably Win 10).
    % List: Lasso select did unselect when the lasso's width became zero. Not 
      anymore. Bye bye to a nasty little flicker.
    ! Thumbnails Creation: Too many "Can't decode" since v15.70.0124. Fixed.
    ! Variable <pfaitems> did not work alright yet in all contexts. Fix #2.

v15.80.0002 - 2015-09-24 17:36
    + SC get enhanced: Now it can return the held modifier keys.
        text <get "shift">;
      Returns:
       0 = No keys held
       1 = Shift
       2 = Ctrl       
       3 = Ctrl + Shift
       4 = Alt
       5 = Shift + Alt
       6 = Ctrl + Alt
       7 = Ctrl + Shift + Alt
    * Visual Filters: Left-clicking the current folder in the tree does not 
      remove a Visual Filter from the list anymore under any conditions. Before, 
      you needed to turn off "Toggle on same filter" to achieve this.
    * Windows shutdown: Revised the changes from v15.50.0106 - 2015-08-05 21:08. 
      Now settings are auto-saved again on a Windows shutdown (if "Save settings 
      on exit" is ON). The issues that caused the changes are handled in another 
      way now.
    * SC SetColumns: Now you can return the captions of Custom Columns instead 
      of their extended syntax identifiers.
      Syntax: setcolumns([columns], [flags=0], [position])
        flags:      Options for set and get.
          64: Return captions for Custom Columns, instead of extended syntax 
              identifiers.
      Examples:
        // might return ":d-12,Name,Ext,Size,Modified,Created,Tags"
        text setcolumns(":d-12", 8, 2);
        // might return "Last Name,Name,Ext,Size,Modified,Created,Tags"
        text setcolumns(":d-12", 72, 2);        
    ! Scripting: Foreach default separator broke with flags. Fixed.

      Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
                  [itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
        flags: (binary field, defaults to 1)
          32: Suppress the "Rename canceled." error message when user cancels 
              any dialog related to rename, e.g. the Rename Preview.
      Example:
        rename "b", "*-TEST", "p" , , 32; echo "hi";
    * Portable File Associations | Tweak PFADefaultOpenFolders: Now if no 
      matching PFA is found for a folder, the folder is browsed normally in XY. 
      Before, it was opened with the OS-associated application for folders.

v15.80.0004 - 2015-09-26 13:27
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /? (think "Help") by which the 
      search pattern will be parsed and displayed in a human-friendly form. No 
      search will happen.
      Use:
      - Check your pattern when in doubt.
      Notes:
      - Like all switches it can be combined with other switches in any order.
      - Switches are currently not displayed in a human-friendly form; maybe 
        later.
      Example:
        ----------------------------
        Query:  !a* or b /?
        Parsed: (NOT "a*") OR "*b*"

        Mode: Boolean
        ExtendedPatternMatching: Yes
        MasterInvert: No
        ----------------------------
    + Scripting commands setting/settingp enhanced: New named argument 
      "cachethumbsreadonly" to temporarily enable/disable "Show Cached 
      Thumbnails Only".
      Example:
        setting "cachethumbsreadonly", 0; //disable "Show Cached Thumbnails Only"

v15.80.0005 - 2015-09-27 13:43
    * File | Open with Arguments...: Now when a single non-executable file is 
      selected then this function opens it with the associated application, 
      using the entered arguments plus the selected file itself as arguments.
      Example:
        Selected file:    E:\Test\b\Moon.txt
        Entered argument: /r 
      Now the following command is run (EmEditor is associated on my system):
        C:\Program Files\EmEditor\EMEDITOR.EXE /r "E:\Test\b\Moon.txt"
      General form:
        associated_application arguments "selected_file"
      Notes:
      - Of course, the entered argument must match the rules of the 
        associated application, so you have to know what you do.        
      - PFAs are honored if "Open Items by First 'Open with...' Match" is 
        ticked.
        If the default PFA is a script then the OS-associated application is 
        taken.
    * Search Query Check (Switch /?): Enhanced and fixed some glitches.

v15.80.0102 - 2015-10-23 11:07
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /c by which the search will be 
      case-sensitive (a!=A). Corresponds to the UI setting "Match Case".
      Notes:
        - By default, Quick Search is NOT case-sensitive.
        - In Find Files the switch overwrites an unticked "Match Case". (All 
          switches overwrite the corresponding UI settings.)
      Examples:
        neko      //returns "neko" and "Neko"
        neko /c   //returns "neko" but not "Neko"
    ! Visual Filters: Using the "name:" selector internally disabled "Loose 
      Matching" (e.g.: xls = *xls*). Fixed. Now these filters are functionally 
      identical:
        |txt
        |name:txt
    ! Type Stats and Filter: <none> (No Extension) was broken. Fixed.
    ! Thumbnails: The new default sizes for Thumbs #2 (192x192 since 
      v15.40.0106) were not yet updated in configuration dialog. Fixed.

v15.80.0103 - 2015-10-23 18:00
    + SC QuickSearch: Now you can use the "Search In List" aliases # and + in 
      the path argument of QuickSearch.
      For example, this will return all TXT files among the currently selected 
      items:
        text quicksearch("txt", "+");
    ! SC rename: The flag added in v15.80.0003 had the wrong value. It should 
      have been 64 instead of 32. Here is the corrected decription:
      SC rename enhanced: Added a new value to the "flags" parameter.
      Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
                  [itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
        flags: (binary field, defaults to 1)
          64: Suppress the "Rename canceled." error message when user cancels 
              any dialog related to rename, e.g. the Rename Preview.
      Example:
        rename "b", "*-TEST", "p" , , 64; echo "hi";
    ! List: Erratic false "Location currently not available." message with some 
      users on some systems. Closing the ring around it.

    % Thumbnails: Thumbnails generation speed gains on quality "Configuration | 
      Thumbnails | Quality | Fast". Note that "Configuration | Thumbnails | Show 
      transparency grid" is not supported anymore with this new algorithm.
    * Tree: When you inline-rename a folder whose caption does not fit the width 
      of the Tree, the Tree is auto-scrolled so that the end of the caption is 
      visible.
      Now, when the rename is done the tree is auto-scrolled back to the 
      original position. Before, it stayed at the scrolled position.
    ! The dimensions of some ICO files were not correctly determined. Fixed.
