v24.10.0004 - 2023-02-20 12:25
    + Preview / Thumbnails: Now SKP files (SketchUp Pro) are supported. The needed 
      configuration it preset now in the factory defaults (= it works out of the freshly 
      opened box), but when upgrading you have to take care yourself:
      - Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories | Office Files: add/tick *.skp
      - Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories | Preview as Thumbnail: add/tick *.skp
      Additionally tick at least one of these:
      - 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
      And tweak Thumbs64Ext needs "skp" as well:
        Thumbs64Ext=afphoto.afdesign.afpub.c4d.skp.sldasm.slddrw.sldprt.xar
      And ensure that tweak Thumbs64Skip is 0:
        Thumbs64Skip=0
    * XY64: Updated to 1.0.0.30.
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Use empty cell defaults | 
      Configure: Added an additional row for the Label column. It deserves it.

v24.10.0006 - 2023-02-22 15:57
  +++ Extra Columns: Added a new column type "Script". The script you specify here (via the 
      Configure Extra Column dialog which is accessible by right-clicking the column 
      header) is run whenever you right-click a cell in that column. If that script calls 
      the command "return" the "data" argument is used to fill the cell.
      Such a Scripted Extra Column provides wonderful and countless new ways to easily 
      generate or select data to be placed in a cell and thus to be assigned to a file.
      Notes:
        - The script should not contain the | character unless it is quoted, because that 
          character is already used to separate extra fields in the tags database.
        - There is a new special variable only available in this context: <extra_popuplist>. 
          When used in the script it is resolved to the contents of the "Pop-up List" field 
          of that same column, CRLF line breaks being replaced by ";".
      Examples:
        1) This script fills the cell with a super-exact timestamp:
             return now("yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss.fffffff");
        2) This script pops an inputselect interface filled with some hard-coded data:
             return inputselect("Select Country", "Afghanistan;Albania;Algeria;Andorra;Angola", ";", 32, , 400, 600);
        3) This script pops an inputselect interface filled with the data present in 
           the "Pop-up List" field of this Extra column:
             return inputselect("Select Country", "<extra_popuplist>", ";", 32, , 400, 600);
           If the data is many this interface is far superior to the menu that is popped 
           by a "Pop-up List" type Extra column. And using the "Pop-up List" field as data 
           store via <extra_popuplist> makes the script much easier to handle, and makes 
           it shareable between columns and users.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips: File 
      info tips were shown in the tree if "Show file info tips" was off but "In tree as 
      well" was on. Fixed.

    + Scripted Extra Columns: The scripts now support Step Mode.
    * Scripted Extra Columns: Variable <extra_popuplist> is now handled like all other 
      variables and does not need to be quoted anymore. This works now as expected:
        return inputselect("Select Country", <extra_popuplist>, ";", 32, , 400, 600);

    + SC inputselect enhanced. Now you can specify an item to preselect.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], [cancel], _
              [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselectprefix], [icon], [preselectitem])
        preselectitem: This item in listdata will be preselected. The first match wins 
          (checked from left to right), any following matches are ignored.
          Anything set in preselectprefix is overridden by preselectitem.
      Example:
        // flag 32: if preselectitem has no match the first item is preselected
        echo inputselect("Select Country", "Afghanistan;Albania;Algeria;Andorra;Angola", ";", 32, 10:="Angola");
    * SC inputselect: The preselected item is now centered vertically in the visible 
      portion of the list, allowing you to see adjacent items above and below.
    + Scripted Extra Columns: A new <extra_cell> variable (it's set to the contents of the 
      right-clicked cell), along with the SC inputselect extension above, allows 
      pre-selecting the current cell data in <extra_popuplist>:
        return inputselect("Select Country", <extra_popuplist>, ";", 32, , 400, 600, 10:=<extra_cell>);
    + Preview of SketchUp Files: Now also the *.layout extension is supported.
    % Preview of SketchUp Files: Better performance by making use of the Windows 
      thumbnails cache.
    ! Hover Box: The status section was largely gone since v24.10.0007. Fixed.

v24.10.0010 - 2023-02-24 16:13
    + SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can position the window at the mouse pointer.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], [cancel], _
              [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselectprefix], [icon], [preselectitem])
        style: 
          65536 = Position window at mouse pointer.
      Example:
        return inputselect("Select Country", <extra_popuplist>, ";", 32 + 65536, 10:=<extra_cell>);
    + Scripted Extra Columns: A new <extra_item> variable is set to the full path of the 
      right-clicked item. Totally useful, here's just one example:
        return inputselect("Select Country<crlf><extra_item>", <extra_popuplist>, ";", 32, 10:=<extra_cell>);
    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Context...: The context "Breadcrumb Bars" (added v23.90.0407 - 2023-01-07 20:12) 
      changed name and function: It's now called "Breadcrumb Bar Drop-Down Menus" and 
      gives you a Hover Box with the contents of the hovered icon (yes, analogous to MUSD 
      only the icon is the hot area) in the dropdown menu.
      Notes:
        - This new functionality deems me much more useful than the old one.
        - Works only for "Custom Menu" and "Colored Menu".
        - If unchecked you still can force the Hover Box by holding CTRL.
    ! Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show the 64-bit context 
      menu: Sometimes when calling it the first time in a session the 32-bit menu came 
      instead of the 64-bit one. Fixed. This will happen much less likely now, and this 
      kind of fallback won't happen anymore. When the 64-bit menu fails for whatever 
      reason, then no menu comes at all.
      The fix also applies to calling the menu via script, eg:
        popupcontextmenu "C:\", 64; //force 64-bit menu
    ! Action Log: The Undo/Redo caption of "New Shortcut" actions contained a misleading 
      path info. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Context...: The toggle "Folder Contents Preview" was dysfunctional, the Hover Box was 
      always shown for items in Mouse Up Show Down lists. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Drop Menu on Hover: The menu auto-undropped when you hovered a 
      tiny 1-pixel wide area right at the top of the menu. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Probably fixed a rare bogus "Item not found" message.

    * Configure Extra Column / Configure Custom Column dialogs: Increased the width of the 
      input boxes.
    * Configure Extra Column dialog: Input boxes now set to "Edit Text" font.
    * SC inputselect: Style 65536 (Move window to mouse pointer) now ensures that all of 
      the dialog is within the screen.
    * Hover Box on Breadcrumb Bar Drop-Down Menus: Now it works also when "Folders" is not 
      ticked in "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box 
      | Select Item Types...".
    * Drop from Outside: When dropping stuff onto a backgrounded XYplorer, sometimes (on 
      some systems) XYplorer was not automatically foregrounded by Windows, and dialogs 
      could end up hidden under other windows. Now XYplorer actively puts itself in the 
      foreground when something is dropped on it.      
    ! Custom File Icons: A specific LNK file icon assigned via Shell Context Menu 
      Properties was overwritten by the generic CFI file type icon. It shouldn't be. Fixed.

      - "Image Columns" in Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show 
        Hover Box | Select Context...
      Yes, "Images" is not implied here to keep a fast way to turn off all Image Hover Boxes.
    ! Hover Box in Tree: Since 20230107 it didn't work anymore for the "This PC" and 
      "Network" nodes. Fixed.
    ! SC zip_list2: This fix from v23.50.0211 - 2022-08-28 11:15 did not really get it right.
        Returned superfluous <tab> prefixes on filenames. Fixed.
      Actually there *should* be <tab> prefixes on filenames IF the archive contains 
      folders and flags has bit 2 (Recurse folders). Otherwise the CSV columns of the 
      returned data are messed up. Fixed again.

Code: Select all

v24.20.0000 - 2023-02-28 20:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Image Columns. So far a data record in a file listing consisted of an icon, maybe 
      a thumbnail, and various bits of text. The signature look of a details view in a 
      file manager. Those days are over. Now you can add images to the mix. And not just 
      one per file, but many: Up to 80 different pics per file, all in one list!
      These images can be arbitrarily assigned to a file (and recorded in a database), or 
      based on rules (e.g. based on the file name or other file properties). Typical use 
      cases would be showing wave forms for sounds, or album covers for songs, or 
      different states or angles of people or designs.
      And that's just the beginning. Since columns can be scripted, the possibilities are 
      endless. A column could even create the image it's about to show.
      By the way, if you move your mouse over these images, you'll optionally get an 
      enlarged view, the so-called Hover Box.
      Absolutely massive new feature. Ground-breaking.
  +++ SketchUp Preview. Now previews and thumbnails are supported for SketchUp Pro (3D CAD 
      software) *.skp and *.layout files.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
