Like a new feature? Say thanks here

I know I started off on the wrong foot here, but this is simply the best file manager since CubicExplorer. Although I still can't seem to part with CE yet, XY is actually pretty damned good. Thank you for your work Don. Maybe one day I won't be frowned upon so much

Code: Select all

    ! Locked Tabs: If you changed the location of a locked tab while creating 
      thumbnails or calculating folder sizes, the location of the locked tab may 
      actually have been overwritten by the new location. Fixed.

    + SC input enhanced: Now the icon parameter also accepts an image file (GIF, 
      JPG, PNG). It can be a full path, or just a filename (auto-resolved 
      to the default icons path <xyicons>).
      
    + Tabs: Now you can freely choose almost anything for a tab's icon. In "View 
      | Tab | Rename Tab..." you can state an image file (GIF, JPG, PNG, ICO) or 
      non-image file (its system icon will be used) for the custom item icon 
      (appended to the name, separated by |). It can be a full path, or just a 
      filename (auto-resolved to the default icons path <xyicons>). Or you can 
      still specify an internal icon prefixed by ":", e.g. :dark.

    + SC popupmenu/popupnested enhanced: Experimentally now you can add custom 
      icons to script items in your scripted menu, at the second position and 
      identified by / as icon marker.
      That makes 3 possible syntaxes for script items (here assuming sep_item=";"):
        ::Script              (here Script is also used as Caption)
        ::Caption;Script
        ::Caption;/Icon;Script

another portion of big Thanks from me!
Couldn't track that locked tab bug for ages and now it's finally fixed. Yet i like all the colour/icon-ization features, so glad that now there are more places where images can be used.

Just wanted to say thanks for adding the ability to easily search / filter all columns, even custom ones. Great feature^^

Portable Thumbs Cache actually is a gem!
Thanks!

- Two Branch Tree Layout
- Live Filter Box Width

Very handy for daily use.
Kudos to @Evolve for the tree idea.

Thanks for the loading screen. My computer is far from being state of art and I don't have to wonder anymore if I double clicked on the xyplorer icon or not. Now I can be sure that the loading is really happening.

v22.40.0213 - 2021-11-07 18:17
+ SC loadtree enhanced: Added "flags" parameter.
Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify], [flags]
flags: (bit field)
1: NoSelect (= do not trigger browsing the selected path after the tree is loaded)
Remarks:
Can be useful to avoid race conditions when loading a tree via a CEA script.

Seems like a small thing but I still like it a lot.

Code: Select all

    + Hover Box | Image: Now you can press "F" (frame) while the Hover Box is 
      showing an image to quickly cycle the width of the image frame between 
      three values: 0, 12, 24 pixels. The new factory default (also the value 
      for upgraders) is 0.

Coolness! Love the new zero-frame look.

Love the new zero-frame look.

Totally agree on that comment. No frame along with no stats, and when you want to see photo information, cycle the "S" key. It's like MDBU on hover - MHBU.

Thanks a bunch Don for removing the "Script Terminated by Esc" message box!

I use Esc like it's a vowel, so that box was getting in my way dozens of times a day, always breaking my workflow.

I don't miss it, not one bit!

    + Added a tweak that allows you to zoom up the tooltips in the main window. 
      Coding for screen reader support put me in an accessibility flow. This 
      tweak can turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass. Example:
        TooltipZoom=1.5
      Allowed values are 1 through 4. Fractions are okay.

I like this tweak and it could be natural in UI.
The only thing i find strange about the tweak(and similar tweaks with fractions) is that example is 1.0 - 4.0(with dots) while user needs to use 1,0 - 4,0(with comas) = misleading.

[admin]

Dots or commas, that depends on your locale. US English is XY's default locale.

Several years of browsing the forums and I just now ran into this topic, doh!

I wanted to say how delightfully quicker frequently recalculating folders sizes is for folders with a large amount of folders.

Code: Select all

    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability: Added 
      "Tooltip zoom (%)". Enter a percentage (100 - 400) that will be applied to 
      most tooltips (not the small ones e.g. on labels in Configuration). Can 
      turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass.
    + Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Backup settings 
      on save: Now ks.dat (keyboard shortcuts) and server.dat (cached servers) 
      are also backed up.
    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can define a separate script that's 
      triggered by the middle button.

Code: Select all

    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: Added tweak 
      MDBULoupeSpeed. Factory default is 100 (percent). This, for example, would make it 
      half as fast:
        MDBULoupeSpeed=50
      Note that only with value 100 the mouse up on the moved, blown up original (and 
      thereby closing it) will end up at the exact same point on the thumbnail.
    * Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: The loupe speed 
      for MDBU on icons is now half as fast as before.

Thanks a lot for added "ShrinkToFitVirtualMonitor" and "MDBULoupeSpeed" tweaks. Allows me to resize only the vertical image, it feels very comfortable.
