v26.10.0207 - 2024-06-25 20:02
  %%% Live Filter Box: Now the listed items are actually filtered in memory. Previously, 
      the file system had to be rescanned for each new filter (including removing the 
      current filter). Obviously, live filtering is much faster now. This is especially 
      noticeable when filtering search results across deep subfolders, which used to 
      trigger a whole new search. Not anymore. Awesome!
I welcome all the enhancements that move from actual I/O operations to RAM, and since Live Filter one of much used features - that's the great upgrade!

I did not expect it, but I now use both, the old red and new green Exit button, regularly. Very handy for development.

v26.40.0401 - 2024-10-05 12:17
+ Custom File Icons: Added another special switch /n to match all branches that do not
contain files, but may contain folders:
*\ /n><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGray.ico //matches all branches without files
So there is now another content-based folder icon in addition to the three that
already exist:
*\ /e>XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
*\ /f>XYicon_FolderFilled.ico //matches all filled folders
*\ /x>XYicon_FolderDenied.ico //matches all inaccessible folders
Notes:
- If no /e (empty) icon is defined, /n (nofiles) will also match empty folders,
otherwise the empty icon will win.
The order of the definitions is irrelevant to the above.
- Of course, determining that a deep branch contains no files can take a while. So
use this switch responsibly.
Thank you so much! This will make my life at work considerably easier, since many colleagues often just create branches of empty folders, I assume as structural templates, and I am left with the task to figure out if there is a document already saved somewhere in that branch or not.
The indicator with the blue folder icon is immensely helpful. (Could also be done with visual filters, but the folder icon is is much better suited for this.)

    + Custom File Icons: Added another special switch /t to match all branches that 
      contain any tagged items, for example:
        *\ /t><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGreen.ico //matches all branches with tagged items
I've being using CFI for setting custom icons for specific "special" folders for years, plus used some file types, but never used "global" folder icons changing, till these switches got on board. Really helpful, especially if Visual Filters already over-used for other filtering criteria.

The only drawback left for me is that my tab bar now looks distracting = before it was only same colour tabs with few manually set, now it's all "rainbow". I'd wish there be a tweak to influence only Folder-CFI-switches, setting which elements of XY UI show them while others don't.
