v9.10.0012 - 2010-05-13 13:13
* Win7: Improved handling of special folders in Tree.
But it still needs a major overhaul in Mini Tree mode. The bizarre
Win7 file system is quite a challenge to straightforward file
management.
* Any error messages now in new style with selectable/copyable text.

v9.10.0011 - 2010-05-12 15:30
* Raw View: Now, in ASCII view, any line numbers are colored as in
the file list (as configured in Configuration | Interface Colors).
FYI, in Hex View this is not possible for internal reasons.
* Better placement of inline rename boxes when line height is
increased.
* Win7: Default font size for main controls from 8.25 to 9.

v9.10.0010 - 2010-05-11 21:02
+ Tabs: The menu popped by right-clicking the tab white space now
contains the commands "Open New Tab" and "Close Tab".
* List | Drag selection with hot scrolling (= scrolling a list by
moving a pushed mouse out of the list area): Now when you move the
offshore mouse vertically back towards the list no more scrolling
happens.
* Factory Default UI: A couple of minor UI adjustments to look
better under Vista/Win7. The following is Vista/Win7 only:
- Default font is now "Segoe UI" (before it was Tahoma).
- Increased the default line height in Tree, List, Catalog by 2
pixels.
Note that the row heights for Tree, List, and Catalog are all
individually configurable by Ctrl+Shift+Wheel.
- Increased initial window width to account for wider borders.
* Factory Default UI changes for all OS:
- Background Bar now visible by default.
- File Info Tips now enabled by default.
! Minor icon drawing glitches fixed.
! Raw View: Error on viewing short (shorter than view port) files
with Tail ON. Fixed.
! Text Preview: The 5 MB limit was not correctly implemented so that
larger files were still attempted to be previewed which could lead
to various errors. Fixed.

v9.10.0009 - 2010-05-09 21:15
* The free space indicator on the leftmost section on the Statusbar
was fixed to unit GB. Now it is flexible and thus consistent with
any free space indicator on other parts of the Statusbar.
! File icons in various lists: Non-existing file items should get
no icon at all in most lists, but this stopped working in Win7
where they got the default icon instead. Fixed.
! List: Since v9.00.0018 - 2010-04-17 20:18 there was a bug with
drag selection and hot scrolling. Items that were scrolled out of
view toward the top of the list were unselected. Fixed.
Also fixed a couple of related painting glitches and made the
whole thing smoother.

! Intuition-based attempt to fix error 10 in Win7, in presence of
unopened Win7 package lying on my table.
Code: Select all
v9.10.0007 - 2010-05-08 09:50
# Back to normal, all functionality switched back on.
! Wrong statusbar message on startup with MyComputer on the inactive
pane. Fixed.

v9.10.0005 - 2010-05-08 09:15
# ! DEBUG version -- do not use for real work !
I switched off certain functionality to track down potential
causes of error 10 on rename/delete. Does it still happen?
Code: Select all
v9.10.0004 - 2010-05-07 22:18
! File icons: Win7 (Vista, too?) changed the rules for retrieving
the correct display icon for files without extension and files
with unknown (=non-associated) extension. This version attempts to
comply to the new rules while keeping compatibility with XP and
previous OSs.
There also was an inconcistency in display of these icons in some
parts of XY that surfaced only under Win7. Should be fixed now.
! Shell context menu for some folders wrong since v9.10.0002. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.10.0002 - 2010-05-07 11:59
+ Scripting commands enhanced:
- setting, settingp
New named argument "backgroundedfileops"
value = OR-combined from the following values
1 [x] Backup (currently unused; has yet to be coded)
2 [x] Copy
4 [x] Cross-volume move
8 [ ] Intra-volume move (always parallel = not queued!)
16 [ ] Delete (always parallel = not queued!)
Example:
::setting "backgroundedfileops", 31; //= all fileops
+ Menu Help: Added command "Various Information...". Pops up some
contextual data. Identical to SC info which now has become
obsolete.
+ List | White Space Context Menu: Added command "New Folder" to the
top, even with an icon. Just felt like doing something
conventional and newbie hugging this morning.
Note that you will not see this command if "Configuration |
Advanced | Navigation commands in List context menu" is ON. A bit
experimental still... I know.
* Right-Click Popup Menus: Now they are positioned 2 pixels to the
right/bottom from the mouse pointer, which allows you -- without
moving the mouse -- to click through to the background to make the
menu disappear or trigger some other action.
This affects almost all such menus in the program. An exception is
the context menu of edit boxes which is controlled by Windows.
* Background Jobs Dialog: Reduced the relative time resolution from
seconds to minutes. Less ticking, more peace of mind.
! Fixed a bug in changing the view of background tabs via their
context menu: their supposedly current view was falsely read from
the current foreground tab.
! Toolbar: Left-click dropdowns were not positioned below the button
but right at the mouse pointer on a non-overflowing toolbar. Fixed.
! Scripting: Scripts run through the address bar that resulted in
closing the app (e.g.: #192;) generated error 91. Fixed.
! XYcopy.exe: Stupid error message when you curiously tried to run
it standalone. Fixed. Now you are politely informed that this will
get you nowhere.
! DPI aware icons: "Shared" overlays were blown up under Vista/Win7.
Fixed.

v9.10.0000 - 2010-05-05 12:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
+++ Queued File Operations 2.0. Improved interface and functionality.
- Now you can remove selected jobs from the queue (temporarily or
permanently).
- Now you can pause and restart the queue at any time.
- Now you can start selected jobs out of queue order.
- Animated feedback on the statusbar while background jobs are in
progress.
- Option to show details of each job in the queue dialog.
- Option to hide completed and skipped jobs from the queue dialog.
- Now you can configure which types of file operations are
backgrounded for parallel or sequential (queued) processing, and
which are always run immediately in the foreground.
+++ Background Bar. New optional UI element, a mini toolbar at the
right end of the Statusbar containing a single button which tells
you about the status of background jobs and lets you open the
Background Jobs dialog.
+++ Find By Type. Now you can narrow down the scope of your search to
only a specific type of files, e.g. image files or audio files.
Highly intuitive and extremely useful little feature.
+++ Text Preview. One-click instant preview for more than 50 different
text file formats. And you can freely add extensions to the list
of supported formats.
+++ Preview. Now you can easily add any number of new extensions to
all preview types (Text, Images, Fonts, Office, Web) right in the
configuration dialog.
+++ Mouse Down Blow Up on Thumbnails. Now you can configure whether
left, right, or both mouse buttons trigger MDBU.
+++ Recently Opened Items. New command "Open..." lets you can enter,
paste, or select an item (file, folder, drive) to open, without
the need to go there first. Recently opened items are stored in a
MRU list that is saved between sessions.
In the Pro edition, the Open dialog features an OpenWith dropdown
menu.
+++ Find Files. Now you can search by the length of the file title
(that's the document name without the path).
+++ Address Bar. Now you can launch DOS commands directly through the
XYplorer UI by prefixing "!" to the command, e.g. "!dir".
+++ Icons. Support for DPI aware icon sizes on custom DPI settings.
+++ Privacy and Discretion. New option "Don't save most-recently-used
lists" increases XYplorer's stealth level, together with "Don't
save history" and "Don't save tabs".
+++ Bugs fixed. Particularly an "Access Denied" issue with certain
folders on Vista/Win7 is now history.

v9.00.0217 - 2010-05-05 09:41
! Save Configuration: Would lose the internal "selected files" list
of each tab, and convert tab paths to portable paths (making them
unusable) if the Portable Tabs tweak was ON. Of course, this bug
went unnoticed when settings were saved on exit. Fixed.
! Portable Tabs: The PortableTabs tweak did not work correctly with
subfolders of app path. Fixed.
! List was not refreshed when dragging tree-to-tree on a special
path. Fixed.

v9.00.0216 - 2010-05-04 11:00
* Type Filter: Added more filters and more extensions. All pretty
intuitive apart from maybe one thing: "Media files" are simply a
combination of "Audio files" and "Video files".
While Audio, Video, Vector, Archive, and Executable are not among
resp. matching the "Previewed Formats", you can still add your own
extensions to them (as comma-separated lists) using these tweaks:
AudioPreviewCustomExtensions=bim,bam,bum
VideoPreviewCustomExtensions=
VectorPreviewCustomExtensions=
ArchivePreviewCustomExtensions=
ExePreviewCustomExtensions=
* Type Filter: With the focus in the Type Filter edit box press F1
to see a list of the file types that pertain to the current type
filter. The list also has information about the OS-associated
applications.
* Toolbar: Will not capture the mouse anymore (hover effect) when
the main window is in the background. This avoids possible issues
where a mouse click apparently went "through" a foreground window
directly to a toolbar button.
Code: Select all
v9.00.0214 - 2010-05-03 21:47
* Type Filter: Added more extensions:
- Text files: ws
- Web files: aspx
- Executable files: ahk, jar, py, vb, ws
* Search Results Caching: Now cached search results get a special
statusbar icon to distinguish them more clearly from live search
results.
! List: Inline rename box resize glitch fixed.
! Tabs: Tab headers resize glitch fixed.
Code: Select all
v9.00.0213 - 2010-05-03 11:16
* Type Filter: New order in the dropdown:
- All types (= no type filtering at all)
- Text files
- Image files
- Media files
- Font files
- Web files
- Office files
- Executable files
* Type Web files and Text files: Added htaccess, cfg, and inc.
* Type Filter dropdown: Now supports simple type-ahead find, also in
collapsed state. Simply type "t" to select "Text files", "a" to
select "All files", etc.
* Tweak UseDPIAwareIconSizes is now enabled by factory default.
! Find Files: Now correctly displays "Access Denied" when it
should. Before it just showed an empty (and potentially
misleading!) search results listing with no further information.
! Error "Access Denied". Fix #3. Now it also works on junctions
without a HIDDEN attribute.
! Error "Access Denied". Fix #4. Now works everywhere, also with
Find Files and other parts that were struck by the "Access Denied"
error under Vista/Win7.
Code: Select all
v9.00.0211 - 2010-05-02 18:56
* Find By Type: Split Web/Office files into separate types, and
added new type "Executable files". Removed "txt" from Web files.
- Web files:
htm, html, shtml, mht, php, php3, php4, php5, asp, xml, swf,
svg, svgz, url, pdf, eml, msg, nws, xps
- Office files:
csv, rtf, doc, dot, docx, dotx, xls, xlt, xlsx, xltx, ppt, pot,
pps, pptx, potx, ppsx, odt, ods
- Executable files:
bat, chm, cmd, com, cpl, exe, hlp, hta, inf, js, jse, lnk, msi,
pif, reg, scr, sys, url, vbe, vbs, wsf, wsh
! Find By Type: Dropdown was not correctly updated when changing
between different Search Results tabs. Fixed.
! Text Preview: Ctrl+C did not work. Fixed.
! Error "Access Denied". Fix #2.
