Code: Select all

v14.10.0002 - 2014-05-20 08:21
    * SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can autoselect the first item in the 
      list. Also when the filter is changed the first item in the filtered list is 
      autoselected. And you can autofocus the filter box.
      There is also another style (16) that needs to get documented. :)
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator=|], [style=1], _
                  [cancel], [width=600], [height=400], [windowcaption])
        style: 
          16 = Allow user to re-order items with drag & drop.
               Also Ctrl+Up/Down can be used.
          32 = Autoselect first item in list.
          64 = Focus filter box initially.
      Examples:
        text inputselect("Test",  listfolder(<curpath>), , 16);
        text inputselect("Test",  listfolder(<curpath>), , 32);
        text inputselect("Test",  listfolder(<curpath>), , 96); //Autoselect + Focus filter        
    % Thumbnails: Improvements in painting and scrolling.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

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.

v14.10.0101 - 2014-05-20 21:35
  +++ Find Files: Now you can find files by Date and Age using the new field 
      prefixes "dateC:", "dateM:", "dateA:" and "ageC:", "ageM:", "ageA:" (CMA 
      are for Created, Modified, Accessed).
      Sure, there is already the "Date" tab but this enhancement opens finding 
      files by date to Quick Name Search, to Scripting, and to Click and Search.
      
      Usage:
        Simply attach the desired prefix to the search term. The syntax is like 
        you already know it from Color Filters and Visual Filters (see Help).
      
      Examples (ready to paste into the Quick Name Search box, but beware: valid 
      date syntax depends on your locale):
        dateM: 20.05.2014 16:16:40       = exact timestamp
        dateM: == 20.05.2014 16:16:40    = same
        dateM: >= 20.05.2014 16:16:40    = then or later
        dateM: 22.05.2014                = covers the whole day
        dateM: 05/22/2014                = same
        dateM: 19.05.2014 - 20.05.2014   = covers two whole days
        dateM: 05/19/2014 - 05/20/2014   = same
        dateM: 2014-05-19 - 2014-05-20   = same
        dateM: dw 6-7                    = on a weekend (Saturday and Sunday)
        dateM: h 11                      = at eleven o'clock
        ageM: d         = modified today
        ageM: w         = modified this week
        ageM: m         = modified this month
        ageM: 1 d       = modified yesterday
        ageM: 1 w       = modified last week
        ageM: <= 30 n   = modified in the last 30 mins
        ageM: <= 3 h    = modified in the last 3 hours
        ageM: <= 7 d    = modified last 7 days

      Notes:
        - Prefix "date:" works as an alias for "dateM:".
        - Prefix "age:" works as an alias for "ageM:".
        - You now can create a Click and Search category for finding files by 
          time. Yeah! Madness!! Har!!!
          
    ! Portable File Associations: Icons would not be shown in the menu under 
      certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Shortcuts (LNK) with parameters were not processed correctly on dbl-click 
      since yesterday. Fixed.
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.

v14.10.0102 - 2014-05-21 15:50
    + List dialogs with Live Filter Box: Now pressing up/down arrow keys inside 
      the Live Filter Box will propagate the keys to the list, so you can 
      navigate the list without focusing it. Verrry comfy!
    + Quick Search: Before, Boolean terms had to be prefixed with ":" to be 
      interpreted as Boolean terms. From now on this is not necessary anymore 
      (but still tolerated) because Boolean terms now are auto-detected by 
      testing for the presence of Boolean operators.
        Before:
          :a* OR b* /n  
          :size: > 5MB AND size: < 6MB
          :4 | 5 /fld=rating
          :dateM: dw 6 | dw 7
        Now:
          a* OR b* /n  
          size: > 5MB AND size: < 6MB
          4 | 5 /fld=rating
          dateM: dw 6 | dw 7
      If you are looking for an operator itself, e.g. all files called "*cats and 
      dogs*" you simply quote the pattern:
        "*cats and dogs*"
      You can also globally turn off the smartness via a tweak: 
        FindBoolNoSmartDetect=1
      Note that in the main Find Files interface no such smartness is applied. 
      Here you explicitly set the Mode in the Mode dropdown.
    * Quick Search: What's been called "Quick Name Search" and "Name Search" and 
      also "Quick Search" in recent years here in the change log, and all over 
      the app interface, and in the help file, and in the user forum, will from 
      now on be called just "Quick Search".
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.48.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.48.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:
        http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9648
    ! Quick Search by Date and Age failed to honor inversion by "!". Fixed. Now 
      this works as expected:
        dateM:!dw 6-7                    = NOT on a weekend
    + SC get and variable <get ...> now also support the following 
      Command IDs:
        #813 = Sync Scroll
        #814 = Sync Browse
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

v14.10.0103 - 2014-05-21 20:45
    ! Quick Search: Spaces between prefix and the ! (inversion operator) made 
      the inversion fail. Fixed. Now this works as expected:
        name: !*.jpg
        dateM: !dw 6-7                    = NOT on a weekend
    * Find Files: Added a more tolerant handling of spaces surrounding 
      operators. Before you would have to do it like this (namely spaces around 
      AND and around <):
        size: > 100KB AND  < 300KB
      Now this works as well:
        size: > 100KB AND < 300KB
    * Find Files: For completeness the == operator has been added. These terms 
      are all equivalent:
        size: > 1000KB OR size: == 1 byte
        size: > 1000KB OR size: 1 byte
        size: > 1000KB OR == 1 byte
        size: > 1000KB OR 1 byte
        size: > 1000KB OR 1b
        size: > 1000KB OR 1
    + Live Filter Box key propagation was not yet implemented in all interfaces. 
      Done.
    * Click and Search: Searches triggered by CAS are not added to the Quick 
      Search MRU anymore. Obvious reason: CAS does not need a MRU and MRU does 
      not need CAS entries.
      CAS approaching perfection... kanzen!

v14.10.0104 - 2014-05-29 10:14
 *** Layout: Everything concerning the visibility and arrangement of the main 
     interface elements has been completely rewritten. You now have more layout 
     possibilities (especially you now can have Tree and/or Catalog at the right 
     side of the List), and the drawing is smoother. You also can save and load 
     layouts to/from file. And there is full scripting support for layouts.
     Remarks:
      - You can escape dragging a splitter by ESC.
      - "List Centered" overwrites "Tree and Catalog Stacked". They are stacked 
        only when they are on the same side of the list.
      - On upgrading from a previous version the previous layout might not be 
        fully restored. There were just too many and too radical changes for a 
        perfect back compatibility.
    + Menu Window: Added commands "Load Layout..." and "Save Layout As...". Will 
      load/save everything you can configure in menu Window, plus "Dual Pane" 
      and "Horizontal Panes" from menu Panes.
      Remarks:
      - The layouts are loaded/saved from/to small TXT files in <xydata>\Layouts.
      - The active pane will never be changed by changing the layout 
        (because that would mean changing the content).
      - The main window state, size, and position is not re/stored. Rather 
        loaded the layout is adjusted to the current window size.
    - Removed the LayoutSP tweak from v8.20.0010 - 2009-08-17 15:39.
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: LoadLayout
      Action: Loads or saves a layout.
      Syntax: loadlayout(file, [mode="load"])
        file:     File to save the layout to, or to load it from.
                  Either full path or resolved relative to <xydata>\Layouts\.
                  If missing you are prompted by a standard Windows dialog.
                  If no extension is passed the extension defaults to ".txt".
        mode:
          load = [Default] load layout from file
          save = save layout to file
        return:   The layout loaded or saved.
      Examples:
        loadlayout("default"); //loads layout from <xydata>\Layouts\Default.txt
        loadlayout("default", "save"); //saves layout to <xydata>\Layouts\Default.txt
        loadlayout(); //loads layout, file is prompted
        loadlayout(, "save"); //saves layout, file is prompted
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: SetLayout
      Action: Sets or gets the current layout.
      Syntax: setlayout([layout], [separator=","])
        layout: The layout definition, being a list of key/value pairs in the 
                format "key1=value1,key2=value2,...".
                The key/value pairs can be listed in any order; the keys are not 
                case-sensitive.
                If missing then only the current layout is returned.
        separator: Separator between key/value pairs, defaults to comma.
        return: The current layout (before any new layout is set).
      Examples:
        text setlayout(); //show the current layout
        text setlayout(, <crlf>); //show the current layout, line by line
        setlayout("ShowNav=0,ShowInfoPanel=0");  //hide Navigation Panel and Info Panel
      Tip: For Boolean values (0 or 1) you can pass "!" to mean "toggle". Examples:
        setlayout("ShowNav=!,ShowInfoPanel=!");  //toggle Navigation Panel and Info Panel
    * Menu Window | Last Size/Minimize Info Panel: Moved function from the main 
      menu to the new Miscellaneous | Layout section.
    * Menu Window | Maximize/Minimize Info Panel: Moved function from the main 
      menu to the new Miscellaneous | Layout section.
    * View | Columns | Load Saved Column Layout...: Renamed to "Load Column 
      Layout..." for consistency and brevity. Also the order was swapped.
    + Quick Search: Experimentally you can now attach comments to a Quick Search 
      term, separated by //. Must be right of any switches.
        *.png //All PNG files
        dateM: dw 6-7 /r //Modified on a weekend
      If the Quick Search term has such a comment then the Quick Search bar will 
      display the comment instead of the term. So you can use the comment as 
      caption.
    + CAS: Experimentally, when clicking a category item the caption of that 
      item (if there is any) will be passed as comment (if there is none 
      already). That way you get the caption of the CAS item in the Quick Search 
      bar which looks kind of natural and slick.

v14.10.0108 - 2014-05-31 10:22
  * Tree: Now when you search a non-current location the Tree turns grey and the 
    TPT snake remains at the original tree location (to show where you were 
    coming from and will go back to). Before, the Tree turned grey and the TPT 
    snake pointed to the search location which was inconsequential since greying 
    the tree already tells that the tree is out of synch with the list; no need 
    (and rather confusing) to synch the snake.
    Accordingly, when you now remove a non-current-location Quick Search (via 
    "Remove Search" in the Quick Search Bar context menu) then you a brought 
    back to the original tree location (where the snake still points to), not to 
    the search location.
  ! Catalog | Insert as New Category Here | Tags: Did not auto-quote tags that 
    need quoting to be found, e.g. a tag "!Berlin" has to be searched like this: 
      This PC?"!Berlin" /T.
    Fixed.
  ! Configuration | Tree and List | List | Select last used subfolder: Did not 
    work correctly with "Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | History | 
    History per tab" turned OFF, and certain other conditions. Fixed.
  ! Fixed the help file. The PDF help was lacking a whole bunch of pages. Now 
    it has 661 pages compared to 572 before the update. Don't you dare to print 
    this file!

    + Window | Arrangement: Added toggle "Wide Tabs". Tick it to show the Tab 
      Bar and the Breadcrumb Bar over the whole window width. Note that it works 
      in single pane mode only. In dual pane mode the setting is ignored because 
      it would be geometrically impossible to do this trick for two panes.
      FYI, this raises the main idea of the old LayoutSP tweak to GUI.

      Name: RunRet

                    command; defaults to current path.

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.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v14.10.0114 - 2014-06-04 12:26
    * Miscellaneous | General Functions | Toggle Main Menu: Now the default KS 
      is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F12. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Up was bad because Up is typically 
      used for navigation.
    * Window | Arrangement | Wide Tabs: Now the Breadcrumb Bar is included again. :)
    + Layout: Now also the visibility of the main menu is part of the saved and 
      loaded layout.
      And to toggle it you can use this now:
        setlayout("ShowMainMenu=!");  //toggle main menu
    * Layout: Now, if Tree and Catalog are visible and not stacked, the vertical 
      splitter between Catalog and List will directly resize the width of the 
      Catalog. It's more expected like this.
    ! Layout: Fixed a couple of glitches.
