Code: Select all

v26.60.0101 - 2024-11-02 17:39
    + SC open: Now you can open an item in an elevated process (= run as administrator).
      Syntax: open item, [switches=c]
        item: Path to an application to start or a document to open.
              Defaults to the current list item.
        switches:
          c: [Default] Use XYplorer's Custom File Associations to determine the opening application.
          w: Use the Windows associated application as opening application.
          e: Spawn the opening application in an elevated processes (= run as administrator).
        Remarks:
          - Obviously it's meaningless to combine switches c and w (if you do, w will win).
      Examples:
        open "E:\Test\BAT\test.bat", e;  //use any existing CFA association, elevated process
        open "E:\Test\BAT\test.bat", we; //use Windows association, elevated process
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

:!!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and may contain new bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA. This will also help to fix any new bugs.

    ! Find Files and Quick Search: Since 20210920, a name pattern (or Boolean part of a 
      pattern) that looked like a date (e.g. 2024-09-01) would not match the items it was 
      supposed to match (e.g. Jungle-2024-09-01.png). Fixed.
    ! SC savethumb: With transparency set to -1 (= preserve any transparency), the 
      bounding box (defined in widthbox and heightbox) would actually be used to stretch 
      smaller originals, which isn't what it's supposed to do. Fixed. The bounding box now 
      only shrinks larger originals, even if transparency is preserved.

    ! SC open: If the item argument was a batch file and had quoted parameters, the quotes 
      were not removed before passing them to the executable, and strangely the elevated 
      process could not handle the quoted parameters, but the normal process could. Fixed.
        open """D:\test.bat"" ""hello""", "w";  //worked before
        open """D:\test.bat"" ""hello""", "we"; //works now
      However, if the parameters contain spaces the quotes are needed. So, parameters with 
      spaces will not work in elevated processes:
        open """D:\test.bat"" ""hello again""", "w";  //worked before
        open """D:\test.bat"" ""hello again""", "we"; //still does not work now

    ! Toolbar | Branch View: For a few weeks, pressing the button on a multi-row toolbar 
      would cause a ghost of the button to appear in the wrong place. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Preview | Preview | Audio/Video preview: Added toggle "Use native 
      handling in the preview pane". Check it to play audio and video directly in the 
      Preview Pane instead of going through an embedded Windows Media Player.
      If checked and the Info Panel (with the Preview Tab) is closed, you will see an 
      interactive progress bar in the Status Bar while the audio/video is playing.
      FYI, this native handling is done in the *Preview Tab* anyway, regardless of this 
      setting. The *Preview Pane* behaves differently by default just to give you a 
      different approach that may work better with some formats.
      FYI, this raises tweak AudioPreviewPPNative (20160229) to the UI.
    ! Fast Live Filter: Did not work properly when the sort order was set to random. 
      Fixed. The Fast Live Filter is no longer used in this case.

    - Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Thumbnail captions relative font size 
      (%): Removed from the GUI, kept as a tweak (ThumbsFontPercent), but reset to 100 for 
      upgraders. Tweak back to 90:
        ThumbsFontPercent=90
      Reason: It turned out that a setting < 100 was problematic on some Win10 and later 
      systems (noticeably slowing down list painting), while there was no slowdown at all 
      on other systems. However, no pattern could be detected (yet).
    - Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Line numbers relative font size (%):
      Removed from the GUI, kept as a tweak (LineNumFontPercent), but reset to 100 for 
      upgraders. Tweak back to 90:
        LineNumFontPercent=90
      Reason: See above.
    + Line Numbers: Readded the smaller line numbers relative font size option (now a 
      tweak) to all small lists. The feature had been removed from here in v26.60.0003 - 
      2024-11-01 14:42.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now Middle-Click goes to the next file, 
      Shift+Middle-Click to the previous file.
      Previously and weirdly, middle-click closed the preview (since v11.30.0005 - 
      2012-06-10 12:20).

    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: The recently added middle-click functions now only 
      work if "Navigate by Click" is off. Otherwise the middle-click closes the preview.
    * Tweak clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth: Now specifies the percentage of the border width 
      (the yellow border drawn around a folder thumbnail) relative to the thumb 
      width/height. Previously it was the absolute width in pixels.
      The maximum value is 25.

    * Info Panel | Report | Tree structure: In v16.80.0001 - 2016-05-20 18:54 the output 
      was experimentally changed to include files and basic file data. Time to end the
