    + Live Filter Box in Small Lists: Now you can filter lists by a literal * (asterisk), 
      i.e. one that isn't a wildcard, simply by doubling it. For example:
        *.exe     //matches any string (incl. nothing) that ends with .exe
        **.exe    //matches any string that contains *.exe (internally converted to *[*].exe*)
    > You can now also go that way yourself more directly:
        [*] is a literal *
        [?] is a literal ?
      And it's the only way to achieve this:
        *[*].exe  //matches any string (incl. nothing) that ends with *.exe
    ! Multi Row Toolbar: More drawing glitches with duplicate buttons. Fixed.

    % Line Numbers: In the main file list and all small lists, the line numbers are now 
      printed a bit smaller (about 90%) than the main list data. Looks better and makes 
      things easier to read.

    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts: Added setting "Line numbers relative font 
      size (%)". Lets you reduce the font size of the line numbers in the main file list 
      and all small lists by specifying a percentage relative to the general list font 
      size. Valid values range from 50 to 100. Factory default is 90.
      Since v26.40.0207 this value was hard-coded to 90%. Now it's configurable.

v26.40.0303 - 2024-09-30 16:12
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: Age
      Action: Converts a number of milliseconds into a human-friendly age format.
      Syntax: age(msecs, [maxfields=2], [sepfields=", "])
        msecs:  Number of milliseconds.
        maxfields: Maximum number of fields.
                Defaults to 2.
        sepfields: Separator between fields.
                Defaults to ", ".
      Examples:
        echo age(); //0 secs
        echo age(1000642);     //16 mins, 40 secs
        echo age(1000642, 3);  //16 mins, 40 secs, 642 ms
        echo age(1000000642);     //11 days, 13 hrs
        echo age(1000000642, 5);  //11 days, 13 hrs, 46 mins, 40 secs, 642 ms
        echo age(1000000642, 5, " & ");  //11 days & 13 hrs & 46 mins & 40 secs & 642 ms
        // age() can be nicely combined with datediff() using the ms (milliseconds) interval:
        echo age(datediff("2008-08-08", , ms)); //16 years, 1 month before now (2024-09-30)
      Remarks:
        Months are a tricky unit here because they have different lengths. This is solved 
        by using an average length of a month of 30.436875 days (365.2425 / 12). 
        Note that the results of this strategy are sometimes counterintuitive when 
        the input is in the form of calendar dates:
          echo age(datediff("2024-08-08", "2024-09-09", ms));  //1 month, 2 days
          echo age(datediff("2024-09-08", "2024-10-09", ms));  //1 month, 1 day

    ! SC age: The algorithm had various problems with certain input values. Now it should 
      handle them all correctly and gracefully. Extreme values should also run smoothly, 
      e.g:
        echo age(2^81, 7); //76,618,668,343,801 years, 4 months, 20 days, 3 hrs, 42 mins, 39 secs, 807 ms
      Btw, the new algorithm changed these ones by one day:
        echo age(datediff("2024-08-08", "2024-09-09", ms));  //1 month, 1 day
        echo age(datediff("2024-09-08", "2024-10-09", ms));  //1 month, 0 days

    * Colors: Changed the default colors for some elements:

                      Breadcrumb Bar 1    Breadcrumb Bar 2
      Active Back:    6F8FB0              A97369

      Selection Box:        6F8FB0
      Selection Background: 5096E2
      
    ! SC age: Fixed some remaining minimal inaccuracies with extremely high numbers. At 
      least as good as possible. The double precision floating point format has its 
      pitfalls; it can't be perfect. After 2^49, it starts to get blurry.
      Anyway, this one now comes out 1 ms longer (and it was already quite long): 
        echo age(2^81, 7); //76,618,668,343,801 years, 4 months, 20 days, 3 hrs, 42 mins, 39 secs, 808 ms
    ! Custom Event Actions: Some CEA did not work anymore with control keys since 20240925. Fixed.

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><xypath>\XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
        *\ /f><xypath>\XYicon_FolderFilled.ico //matches all filled folders
        *\ /x><xypath>\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.
    * Age: The age display and SC age now round up the remainder instead of cutting it 
      off. Note that unusual age terms such as "2 days 24 hrs" or "5 mins 60 secs" may now 
      appear. Take it easy. Sophistication is in the pipeline.

Code: Select all

v26.50.0000 - 2024-10-07 17:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder Icons Based On Content. Now you can define a custom folder icon for branches 
      that do not contain files, but may contain folders. This icon is used everywhere, in 
      the folder tree, file list, all menus and drop-down lists, breadcrumb bars, address 
      bar, etc., so you can immediately see if a folder is just an empty structure without 
      any files.
  +++ Skip Custom Columns. Custom columns are often time-consuming, especially when 
      scripts are involved. This new option allows you to temporarily disable them when 
      the extra information is not needed.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

Code: Select all

v26.50.0001 - 2024-10-08 14:56
    + 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
      Notes:
      - The check is only performed against the tags database, the tagged files themselves 
        are not accessed in any way. It's therefore very fast, but the results will 
        include any orphans in your tags database (orphans can occur when other programs 
        change the names or locations of tagged items).
      - It's all about the contents of the folder. Whether or not the folder itself is 
        tagged is irrelevant.
      - The /t icon takes precedence over any other content-based folder icon. The order 
        of the definitions is irrelevant here.
        However, other (non content-based) Custom File Icons will always overwrite any 
        content-based folder icon.
      - If such a CFI is defined and enabled, the (un)tagging of items will be a bit 
        slower than usual, because the folder icons in the whole interface have to be 
        checked for necessary adjustments.
