! PDF Preview: In Win 10 and later, with a screen scaling of more than 100%, the PDF
preview was wrongly aligned, with larger parts being hidden. This can also depend on
the preview handler, but appears to be solved for the more frequent cases.

v23.20.0000 - 2022-06-08 20:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
+++ Filter Images By Aspect Ratio. You can now filter or find all images that are equal
to or wider than 3:2, for example.
+++ Sort Images By Aspect Ratio. You can also sort your image folders by aspect ratio,
for example from tall and narrow (portrait) to wide and flat (landscape).
+++ Filter Images By Area. You can now filter or find all images larger than a million
square pixels, for example.
+++ Sort Images By Area. You can as well sort your image folders by the area covered by
the images.
+++ Make The Name Column Stand Out. Now you can dim the other columns slightly to
highlight the name column. A helpful feature for column messies.
+++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of The Brothers Comatose.

v23.20.0001 - 2022-06-09 20:18
+ Preview Pane: Experimentally added the option to show the Preview Pane to the left
of the file list instead of to the right. The obvious advantage is that the previews
then are nearer to the Name column, which is where you usually look and click.
To toggle the position hold CTRL while using the command "Window | Arrangement |
Live Filter Box in Status Bar". Later it will get its own command, of course.
+ SC get got a new named argument "dimensions" by which you can retrieve
the dimensions and/or aspect ratio of an image or video file.
Syntax: get("dimensions", [file], [template="%w% x %h%"])
file: The file.
Defaults to the currently focused file.
template: Format of the returned string. Supports the following variables:
%w% = width, %h% = height, %a% = aspectratio.
Defaults to "%w% x %h%".
return: Dimensions and/or aspect ratio, depending on the template.
Examples, using variable syntax:
text <get dimensions>; //720 x 480
// note the two spaces where the "file" argument is omitted!
text <get dimensions "%w% x %h% [%a%]">; //720 x 480 [3:2]
Examples, using script syntax:
text get("dimensions"); //720 x 480
text get("dimensions", , "%w% x %h% [%a%]"); //720 x 480 [3:2]
% Tabs: Smoother switch to a tab where the focused file will be previewed. Now the
list is first painted, then the preview is fired.
* Type Ahead Find: Now a single Space will by factory default select the focused list
item. To make Space work in TAF just like any other key, use this tweak:
TAFSkipSingleSpaces=0
FYI, this changes the default behavior introduced in v22.10.0103 - 2021-08-19 13:27.
I decided to go with the expected standard. Muscle memory rules.
! Live Filters and Visual Filters: Since 20220527 any trailing or leading spaces in
filter patterns were simply ignored. Fixed.

v23.20.0005 - 2022-06-11 11:21
* Configuration | Preview | Preview | Text preview | Display Tabs as spaces: Now if
you select a number other than 0, the TAB characters will not simply be replaced
with that number of spaces, they will be expanded in the correct way to form
vertically aligned columns.
Example for tab width = 4:
Input (> = TAB): >a>ab>abc>abcd>abcde>abcdef>abcdefg
Columns: 1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---A---B---C---
Output (. = SPACE): ....a...ab..abc.abcd....abcde...abcdef..abcdefg

select when moving to caption via icon. Fixed.

v23.20.0101 - 2022-06-12 18:52
+ Help | List All Commands...: Now there are column headers and a grid.
+ SC get("dimensions"): Changed and enhanced. Now the following placeholders are
supported in the template:
Syntax: get("dimensions", [file], [template="%w% x %h%"])
template: Format of the returned string. Supports the following variables:
%w% = width
%h% = height
%r% = aspect ratio term, e.g. "1:2" (CHANGED, was %a% before!)
%rq% = aspect ratio quotient, e.g. "0.5"
%a% = area raw, e.g. "1048576"
%af% = area formatted or friendly, e.g. "1,048,576"
Defaults to "%w% x %h%".
Examples, using variable syntax:
text <get dimensions>; //1200 x 1600
text <get dimensions "%w% x %h% [%r%]">; //1200 x 1600 [3:4]
text <get dimensions "ratio=%rq%">; //ratio=0.75
echo <get dimensions %a%>; //1920000
echo <get dimensions "%af% square pixels">; //1,920,000 square pixels
! Custom Columns: Mixed type columns incorrectly displayed some internal data used to
sort by dimensions and aspect ratio, since the latter recently learned how to sort
properly. Fixed. Now "Mixed" columns don't support this particular sorting anymore.
It is rather meaningless for "Mixed" columns anyway.
! SC copytext: Default linebreaker
did not work anymore since 20220603. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v23.20.0102 - 2022-06-13 18:29
+ Edit | Select: Added toggle command "Toggle Selection", default keyboard shortcut is
INS (upgraders have to assign it manually). It toggles the selection of the focused
list item (the list has to be in focus as well).
Note that multi-selection is supported: any other selections are not automatically
unselected. So functionally it's identical to the hard-built-in Windows standard
shortcut Ctrl+Space.
+ Window | Arrangement: Added toggle command "Preview Pane Left". Tick it to show the
Preview Pane to the left of the List.
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.148.
> TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.148.lng is uploaded.

(frame) and b (bold frame) are implemented in the filter listing. A little WYSIWYG.
! List: If there is more than one selection, the focused should be a bit brighter than
the others. This did not work anymore in all contexts. Fixed.

v23.20.0105 - 2022-06-17 11:12
+ Duplicate File Finder: Added option "Ignore numbers", mainly meant to ignore serial
numbers when searching for Dupes by Name. This first experimental approach to the
problem will simply ignore all numbers (0 - 9) in a filename when comparing it to
the other filenames. As a result, for example, the files "Fred(1).txt" and
"Fred(2).txt" are seen as dupes, but also "1979.png" and "20200103015144244.png". I
personally find the results surprisingly meaningful.
Code: Select all
v23.20.0106 - 2022-06-17 20:03
+ Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead Find: Added
option "Skip single spaces". Enable it (it's actually the factory default) to keep
the default functionality of the spacebar in the List: to select the currently
focused item when it is not selected. To make the spacebar work like any other key
in Type Ahead Find, uncheck the option.
As the name suggests, it only affects single spaces. Within a fast-typed string of
letters, spaces work like any other key, e.g. "y " or " y".
FYI, this raises tweak TAFSkipSingleSpaces to GUI.
! Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead Find |
Enable type ahead find: If disabled selecting the currently focused item with the
spacebar did not work. Fixed.
