Code: Select all
v22.20.0209 - 2021-09-17 16:53
+++ Visual Filters and Live Filters: Now you can filter lists by the data
shown in Custom Columns. Awesome.
- You can reference the columns by their canonic name and also by their
caption (the latter can be ambiguous).
- Like with other filters you can use numeric operators (>=, <, ==, etc)
and wildcards (*, ?). What makes sense when, only you can know since you
wrote the Custom Columns.
- Note that the filtering also works for columns that are not currently
present in the list. So you now have handy shortcuts to ever so complex
filters. Mega awesome.
- Examples:
Filter Pattern Used Column Reference Matches
----------------------------------------------------------------
cc18: >= 2 Canonic Name all numbers >= 2
Date Done: *25 days Caption 1 month 25 days
+ List: Experimentally added a new command "Set as Live Filter" (another
possible caption would be "Filter by This Property") to the
Ctrl+Right-Click menu of each cell in Details view. It seems to work well
with Custom Columns, but not with some of the other columns. Work in
progress...
! Preview: Previewing very large text files could lead to Error 6
(Overflow). Fixed.
! Content Search: A RegExp search of very large text files could lead to
Error 7 (Out of Memory). Fixed.
! Find Files: When searching by a Custom Column and this column returned a date
and the Format was set to "Age", the matching was falsely done by the absolute
date, not by the age term shown in the column. Fixed.
This, for example, will find all items where the Custom Column "Date MC"
returns an age ending with "25 days":
Date MC: *25 days
Note that this search also works when the Custom Column is not currently
present in the list.
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.
