v22.80.0124 - 2022-02-16 14:27
    + Rename: In Win10 and higher, File Explorer cannot change the case of the letters in 
      a filename on a FAT drive (FAT, FAT32, exFAT) when this is the only thing that's 
      changed. Now this known Win10 FAT rename bug is silently fixed in XYplorer.
    + List | Date Columns: File Explorer displays nothing (an empty cell) if a file date 
      is before 1/1/1980. Now there is a tweak that makes XYplorer behave the same:
        BlankDatesBefore1980=1
      The tooltip still shows the now invisible date.
    ! Command Line: Since 20211222 you could no longer pass these GUIDs as the launch path 
      (they opened in Explorer instead of XYplorer):
        ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}        '= This PC
        ::{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}        '= Network
        ::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}        '= Recycler
      Works again.

    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Thumbnails View Background: Now the 
      background color is set to the list *before* the thumbnails are created so that the 
      "Neutral" setting of "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Transparency" actually 
      works as desired when switching to thumbnails view and new thumbnails are created.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Thumbnails View Background: ICO and CUR files 
      did not use this color when "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Transparency" 
      was set to "Neutral". Fixed.
    ! Info Panel: Since 20201211 the hidden Info Panel's tab headers were not drawn on 
      Dark Mode switch. Fixed.

      with just a single click, key combination, or notch of the mouse wheel.

      case of file names on FAT32 drives (usually USB drives and flash cards). XYplorer can.

v22.90.0001 - 2022-02-18 16:08
    + Time-Stamping: Now you can use the pseudo time 0 (zero) to set a file time to the 
      lowest possible value. This works wherever you can timestamp in the UI, and also in 
      scripting, for example:
        timestamp "m" , "0"; //set modified time to the lowest possible value
      Here's some background info:
      - For NTFS drives, the earliest possible file time you can set using standard API is 
        this:
          1601-01-01 00:00:00.0000001Z  (Z for Zulu = UTC = Coordinated Universal Time)
        One nanosecond (or more) earlier: 1601-01-01 00:00:00Z -> File times are not changed.
      - For FAT (FAT32, exFAT) drives (typically USB drives and flash cards) the 
        earliest possible file time you can set using standard API is this:
          1979-12-31 00:00:00 (local time, not UTC!)
        One nanosecond (or more) earlier: 1979-12-30 23:59:59.9999999 -> ERROR!
        > Surprisingly (tested only on FAT32 with Win8.1) all time-stamps from
            1979-12-31 00:00:00.0000000 to 1979-12-31 23:59:59.9999999
          will work without error, but they all set the file time to the same value (!):
            1980-01-01 00:00:00.0000000.
          This 24-hour tolerance range was obviously implemented to deal with time zones 
          around the world.

Code: Select all

v22.90.0003 - 2022-02-19 11:27
    + Hamburger: Now the Hamburger also supports items defined by a simple path (or a 
      variable that resolves into one). On click, paths to executables will run them, 
      paths to files will open them with the associated application, paths to folders will 
      go there in XYplorer.
      As a reminder, the Hamburger syntax supports multi-nesting by indenting and can be 
      used here:
        - in the click events of Custom Toolbar Buttons
        - the Breadcrumb Bar's Hamburger
        - SC popupmenu / popupnested
      The Hamburger now supports 4 types of items (plus "-" as separator line). They can 
      be freely mixed and the Hamburger definition can start now with any of them:
        - one-line scripts, eg:         ::Hi;echo "hi!";
        - toolbar button keys, eg:      :dice
        - main menu command IDs, eg:    #603
        - paths, eg:                    C:\ or D:\Test.txt or %user% or <xydata>
      Example with nesting:
        %user%
        #603
        -
        :dpmoveto
        :dpcopyto
        -
        ::Hi;echo "hi!";
        -
        Locations
          C:\
          D:\
          -
          More Locations
            %temp%
            <xy>
            C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
      
      So it's easy now to build nested multi-location hubs that pop from a Custom Toolbar 
      Button. Pretty cool!
    ! BlankDatesBefore1980 tweak: Did not work in Win10 and higher in time zones earlier 
      than GMT. Fixed.

    + SC popupmenu/popupnested enhanced: Added flags 2 and 4 to process paths and cut away paths.
      Syntax: popupmenu(itemlist, [x=-1], [y=-1], [start=1], [count=-1], [flags=0], [sep_itemlist="|"], [sep_item=";"], [on_cancel=""])
        flags:
          2: Process paths (go to folders, open files, run executables).
          4: Show name only, without full path (only when combined with flag 2).
      Examples:
        echo popupmenu("<xydata>|<xypath>|<xy>");   //paths are just strings
        popupmenu("<xydata>|<xypath>|<xy>", 5:=2);  //process paths, show full path
        popupmenu("<xydata>|<xypath>|<xy>", 5:=6);  //process paths, show name only

    + Customize Toolbar Dialog: Now Custom Toolbar Buttons show (parts of) the script in 
      the tooltip so you get an idea of what's inside. You can even hold CTRL to show 
      extra info about keys and images. If the list has input focus pressing the CTRL key 
      will alter/show the tooltip right away.
    + Hamburger: Now it also recognizes URLs without further ado.
    * Hamburger: Now toolbar buttons with a pressed state show "[On]" in the menu if 
      they are currently pressed.
    * Custom Toolbar Buttons: Editing scripts got a nicer interface (similar to the 
      Hamburger editor in the Breadcrumb Bar).
    * Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now they always show (parts of) the script in the tooltip. 
      Before, this was only done if they had no Name defined (otherwise just the Name was 
      shown in the tooltip).
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: Fixed various things concerning Hamburger support.
    ! Toolbar | Text Buttons: Neighboring buttons did not get a tooltip. Fixed.
    ! Customize Toolbar Dialog: The button lists totally ignored the font set in 
      Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels. Fixed.

    + Hamburger: Now there is a status bar message about what will happen on click when 
      hovering over Hamburger items.
    + Hamburger: Path and URL items can have captions and icons following this syntax:
        Path/URL;Caption;Icon
      As always the icon path defaults to <xyicons>. And, as I said often before, folks 
      who use ; in their paths are screwed and deserve no better.
      Example:
        <xydata>;XY Settings;Love.png

    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Since they support two different kinds of definitions, the 
      Hamburger and the Multiline Script(s), the parser first has to decide which way to 
      go. It got pretty smart at this but probably not perfect. So I added a way to mark 
      the definitions explicitly by putting these 3 characters (and nothing else) on the 
      first line:
        First Line      Meaning
        //H             it's a Hamburger
        //S             it's a Script
    ! Hamburger: Fixed various glitches concerning comments, custom captions, and status 
      bar messages.
