+++ BREAKING NEWS: XYplorer goes twinBASIC +++

[rpnfan]

The 64-bit version is fully compatible with all data and configuration files for reading and writing. All you have to do is overwrite the two executables that are part of the 64-bit package: XYplorer.exe and XYcopy.exe. Your current 32-bit configuration will be preserved 100%.

But it can be even easier. Simply paste this script into the 32-bit XYplorer address bar and press ENTER:

Code: Select all

update 1 + 32 + 256;  //update to the latest 64-bit beta version

But note that currently the 64-bit is still in beta. Some features, like accelerators, are not yet working at all, and there are some known bugs (nothing severe, mostly cosmetic glitches) that are waiting to be fixed.

On one machine it did update fine. That was for a portable non-admin version. On my main PC, where I have a normal installed version (as Admin) I got the following error message. Just for your information.

Code: Select all

Something is wrong with your action log (<xydata>\action.dat).

1) Can you repeat that error?

2) If yes, can you send <xydata>\action.dat to support?

I noticed today that .svg previews are working again in the floating window

At the same time, I noticed that neither the <Escape> key, F11 preview-window keyboard shortcut, or any arrows keys are working to close/change the window. So far I've noticed this behavior with both .svg and .zip filetypes. I'm thinking it's a focus issue, because after alt-tabbing away from XY and back, the keys will register.

In other preview types such as images/pdf/fonts, those keys work as expected without having to alt-tab.

v27.90.0021

[admin]

Yes, it's a focus thing. Strange that it only happens in TB. But it was easy to work around. Next beta.

[bossi]

uh oh , totally missed the news !
qrd pls ? will existing scripts still work ?

[admin]

Yep, existing scripts will still work. Everything will still work.

[Zardoz2293]

BRAVO!

[thinknasium]

Any guess as to how close are we to the TB production release? Days? Weeks?

[admin]

Days, I hope.

Since you mentioned a release is imminent I thought I'd mention a few misc things I have noticed that aren't really worth separate bug reports.

1) When using x64 SC extracttext doesn't function without specifying the bitness, it still defaults to x86. Incidentally if possible I think it would be useful if you could add a param to <xybitness> to return only numerals, eg "<xybitness 1> == 64".

Code: Select all

 text extracttext();		// fails
 text extracttext(, 64);	// works

2) Another thing is that in fresh XY on config page:

Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails

The Padding dropdown at the bottom is unable to select "0" initially, it is possible via arrow keys though, and once selected it becomes ok, at first there is no 0, just a blank entry at the end of the dropdown list, the same for Caption Lines=1, there may be other places this happens in conf I haven't checked everywhere.

3) I know there has been pane focus issues mentioned previously, that may have to be resolved by TB Wayne, but I will mention another anyway, even though you may not be able to repro/resolve immediately, I find sometimes focus gets stuck in the tree, so if using <focitem> it gives the same return as <curpath>/<curtab>, it had me stumped for a while what was happening, and even using SC focus explicitly doesn't get the <focitem> to become correct, I think it could actually be a little dangerous, in my case it was causing extremely long hangs/forced manual termination, because actions were being performed on the whole tree/drive hierarchy instead of just a file in the list. I am not sure yet what triggers this behavior.

I may not be able to reply promptly if you need more info for any of the above, but I will when I can if necessary.

[admin]

1) Confirmed and fixed.

2) Confirmed and fixed.

3) Yeah, I'll watch it.

I really like the new <xybitness n>, it allows me to use a title bar template with x<xybitness n> instead of the long version

[sparks]

Thanks highend, a slick trick indeed.

I compiled a list of the remaining known issues with the 64-bit beta version here:

Let me know if anything is missing.

MDBU on annimated gifs is still not working. My startup is closer to 4 times slower on x64 (6 year old Intel i7-9700K 3.6 GHz, 32 GB ram).
