    % Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail: Still better 
      icon position.
    ! Thumbnails: File types for which no thumbnail could be created sometimes showed 
      nothing at all instead, not even an icon. Fixed.
    ! Color Filters: Color Filters were sometimes not visible behind Labels in non-Details 
      views. Fixed.

    ! Custom Event Actions: "Middle-click on file" set to "None" opened new tab when 
      "Middle-click on folder" was set "Open in new foreground tab" and a folder was 
      selected in the list. Fixed.      
    ! Quick Search: Since v22.90.0112 - 2022-03-14 16:31 a standard Quick Search would 
      create an unusable tab (infinite loop, app must be killed). Fixed.

    + List: Now when you hold SHIFT, right-click on empty will pop the "Tools | Customize 
      List..." menu. Gives you quick access to these settings.
      So holding SHIFT overrides "Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | Clicking 
      on White | Right-click on white in file list".
    * Drag Status Box: Now dragging items onto a file gets its own wording ("Drop onto" 
      instead of "Copy to") and color (by default grey instead of blue).
    ! Quick Search: Since v22.90.0112 - 2022-03-14 16:31 the search pattern was not shown 
      in the Address Bar anymore after switching to a QS tab. Fixed.

    * List: Shift+Right-click will only pop the "Customize List..." submenu if CEA 
      "Right-click on white in file list" is not set to "Run script". Reason: Scripts 
      might want to make use of that modifier key.
    % Info Panel: Improved support for "Buttons and Labels" font sizes up to 10.5.
    % Live Filter box: When placed in the Status Bar, care is now taken that the LFB does 
      not grow too high on changing the font size.

    + Custom Status Bar Info: Now you can prefix various switches to the template, 
      separated by ||, to modify the appearance of the info. The order of the switches is 
      irrelevant. Currently there are two:
        i = use file icon (instead of the generic "i" icon)
        c = use marked color (Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Marked Text 1)
      Examples:
        i||<s:dimension> <s:duration>
        c||<s:dimension> <s:duration>
        ic||<s:dimension> <s:duration>
    % Portable Devices: Copying items to the clipboard is now much faster (factor 5 to 10).

    * Custom Status Bar Info: Regardless of the "i" switch you will always get the "i"

    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: Certain multi-line scripts were falsely fed into the 
      Hamburger parser. Fixed.

v23.00.0005 - 2022-04-01 13:09
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse: Added option "Use 
      Ctrl+mouse wheel to scroll through the list views". Tick it to cycle the views 
      (Details thru Thumbnails #3) of the active pane by Ctrl+Wheel over the active pane's 
      list (WheelDown=Next View, WheelUp=Previous View).
      Notes:
      - Changing the views of the inactive pane is currently not supported.
      - If this new option is enabled then logically "Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
        Fonts | Enable zoom by Ctrl+mouse wheel" won't work over the active pane's list 
        anymore.
    * Menu View | Views: Moved the view "Details with Thumbnails #1" from the 2nd to the 
      last position. That way you can now (using Ctrl+Wheel) quickly move back and forth 
      between the popular views "Details" and "List" without crossing a view that triggers 
      thumbnails generation.
    ! List: Could get an "out of memory" error while or after deleting huge amounts of 
      files. Fixed.

    ! Dual Pane: A file operation in the active pane could cause a long delay when the 
      current tab of the inactive pane pointed to an unavailable network path, even if the 
      inactive pane wasn't visible. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v23.00.0007 - 2022-04-03 11:50
    + Scrolling through the list views: Added a tweak to modify the feature.
      General form:
        CycleListViewsByWheelProps=views[|switches]
      The views are identified by these indices, separated by a comma:
        0 = Details
        1 = List
        2 = SmallIcons
        3 = LargeIcons
        4 = Tiles
        5 = TilesLarge
        6 = Thumbs1
        7 = Thumbs2
        8 = Thumbs3
        9 = DetailsWithThumbs
      The switches (order irrelevant):
        r = reverse direction of the wheel
        o = loop ("o" for infinite circle)
      Examples:
        8,7,6       //scroll thru these views as listed, no loop
        8,7,6|o     //scroll thru these views as listed, loop
        0,1,4,6|ro  //scroll thru these views, reverse direction, loop
        0,1|o       //toggle Details and List
        |r          //scroll thru all views, reverse direction, no loop
        |o          //scroll thru all views, loop
        |ro         //scroll thru all views, reverse direction, loop        
    * Scrolling through the list views: Now the default is not to loop, i.e. scrolling 
      will stop at the first and last list view.
    * Setting a new list view: Now the name of the new view is always shown in the status 
      bar, also when doing it via the normal menu functions or any other way. Reason: 
      Doing it only for "Scrolling through the list views" leads to confusing messages.
    + CKS | Miscellaneous | List: Added two functions that work as an alternative to 
      Ctrl+WheelDown and Ctrl+WheelUp:
        #1082 - Miscellaneous | List | Next View      (Ctrl+9)
        #1083 - Miscellaneous | List | Previous View  (Ctrl+Shift+9)
      These functions also honor the CycleListViewsByWheelProps tweak.

Code: Select all

v23.00.0008 - 2022-04-04 14:23
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: View
      Action: Sets or gets the current list view.
      Syntax: view([index], [switches])
        index (optional): 
              0-9:     Index of the view to switch to.
              -1:      Set the next view.
              Missing: No switch happens.
        switches (optional): 
              t: Toggle view with Details view.
              o: Loop (if index = -1).
              r: Reverse direction (if index = -1).
        return: Index of the current view (before any switch).
      Remarks:
        - These are the indices of the views (note that they do NOT correspond to the 
          positions in the Views menu):
          0 = Details
          1 = Details with Thumbnails #1
          2 = List
          3 = Small Icons
          4 = Thumbnails #1
          5 = Thumbnails #2
          6 = Thumbnails #3
          7 = Large Icons
          8 = Small Tiles
          9 = Large Tiles
        - Index -1 (Set the next view) honors the CycleListViewsProps tweak. If the tweak 
          is set, it overwrites any switches passed with SC view().
      Examples:
        view(0);        //Details view
        view(2);        //List view
        view(2, "t");   //toggle between List view and Details view (run same line again to toggle)
        view(0, "t");   //toggle between last view and Details view (run same line again to toggle)
        view(-1);       //next view
        view(-1, "r");  //previous view
        view(-1, "o");  //loop through all views
        view(-1, "ro"); //loop through all views, reverse direction
    * Tweak CycleListViewsByWheelProps: Changed the name to CycleListViewsProps.
    * CycleListViewsProps: It was a dumb idea to use the menu indices to refer to 
      the views, because, as we've just seen, menu positions can change. So now, the 
      never-changing internal indices are used in this tweak, as they are already used for 
      years by SC get("view"):
        0 = Details
        1 = Details with Thumbnails #1
        2 = List
        3 = Small Icons
        4 = Thumbnails #1
        5 = Thumbnails #2
        6 = Thumbnails #3
        7 = Large Icons
        8 = Small Tiles
        9 = Large Tiles
      Some updated examples:
        6,5,4       //scroll thru these views as listed, no loop
        6,5,4|o     //scroll thru these views as listed, loop
        0,2,8,6|ro  //scroll thru these views, reverse direction, loop
        0,2|o       //toggle Details and List
    ! SC sortby: Didn't work with captions of Extra/Custom/Special columns. Fixed.
