Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v18.10.0101 - 2017-07-18 22:18
+++ List: Added so-called "Age Circles", little visual helpers that let you
instantly grasp the rough age of a file. No more brain power wasted on
deciphering date strings.
This is achieved by encoding the age using colors. Coloring is borrowed
from leafs (bright green = young, via darker greens, to brown = old),
every person understands this intuitively, it's paleo-knowledge. Instead
of circles I went for horizontal ellipses (vaguely suggestive of a leaf).
By default there are 8 age classes (can be tweaked, see below):
- younger than now (= future)
- younger than five minutes
- younger than one hour (60 mins)
- younger than one day (24 hours)
- younger than one week (7 days)
- younger than one month (4 weeks)
- younger than one year (365 days)
- one year or older
Here you can turn the feature on and off (it's not a simple toggle because
there is a good chance that more graphic or placement options are added
later):
- Tools | Customize List | Date Column Format | No Graphics
- Tools | Customize List | Date Column Format | Circles
+ Tweak to customize the factory default age classes and colors.
You can have as many classes as you want. Each class has this format:
[from-age in minutes]:[color in RRGGBB]
Classes are separated by a comma. Classes must be ordered ascending from
youngest to oldest. Processing is from right to left (backwards).
For example:
AgeCircleClasses=100:FF0000,200:00FF00
This would color all items green that are at least 200 minutes old, all
items red that are at least 100 minutes old. All remaining items are
colored black.
Items that are from the future (younger than now) get hollow circles.
The special term "<0" is a way to refer to "all future".
This is the current factory default written as tweak:
AgeCircleClasses=<0:C06050,0:D0F060,5:A0D040,60:60A020,1440:909020,10080:C09030,40320:705040,525600:404850
Note that the colors are drawn with an opacity of 75%, so e.g. they will
be lighter when printed on white.
+ List: Now when you hover any cell in any date column the age of that item
is displayed in a tooltip.
! Floating Preview: Would stop the preview of text files at the first NULL
character. Fixed.
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.91.
> TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.91.lng is uploaded.
