Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v21.00.0005 - 2020-09-07 18:49
+++ 64-bit Preview: Some file types, e.g. WebP graphic files (WEBP),
SolidWorks files (SLDASM, SLDDRW, SLDPRT) or OpenOffice files (ODP, ODS,
ODT), implement their preview not via PreviewHandlers but via
ThumbnailProviders. This has always been supported for 32-bit
ThumbnailProviders.
However, sometimes those ThumbnailProviders are only provided in the
64-bit flavor (e.g. SolidWorks). This works now as well. So SolidWorks (a
major 3D-CAD-Program) previews are supported now.
> Note: At least one of these options has to be ticked to enable the
fallback to 64-bit ThumbnailProviders:
- Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Use 64-bit
preview handlers for preview
- Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Fall back
to preview handlers of the other bitness
* Preview64: Updated to 1.0.0.11. Now there is version control.
+ Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories: Added category
"Preview as Thumbnail".
Default members: .odt.ods.odp.sldprt.sldasm.slddrw.webp
This category is for files that are known to implement their preview not via
PreviewHandlers but via ThumbnailProviders. It simply saves time, energy,
and climate to skip other preview methods that won't work anyway.
32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders are supported.
> Usage Tip: If you add "*.pdf" to "Preview as Thumbnail" and untick it in
"Office Files" you get the fast thumbnail preview for PDFs everywhere
(Preview Tab, Preview Pane, Floating Preview). It usually shows the first
page of the PDF. Of course, a ThumbnailProvider for PDF must exist.
+ Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box | Select
Item Types...: Added category "Preview as Thumbnail".
32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders are supported.
+ Floating Preview: Now also files in category "Preview as Thumbnail" are
supported (32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders). Including Mouse Down
Blow Up (that did not work before for ODT files).
+ SC savethumb: Now also files in category "Preview as Thumbnail" are
supported (32-bit and 64-bit ThumbnailProviders).
* Preview Tab: The caption "Preview created by the shell." has been changed
to "Previewed as thumbnail."
- Removed undocumented tweak FullScreenCustomExtensions.
- Removed tweaks DoPrevShell (v9.90.0403 - 2011-02-17 11:00) and NoPrevShell
(v8.00.0009 - 2009-06-25 23:10). Replaced by the new "Preview As
Thumbnail" category.
To

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
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.
