Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (32-bit):

Code: Select all

v27.20.0708 - 2025-12-23 21:30
    % Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Truncate filenames in the 
      middle: Faster through improved algorithm and superior API choice.
    % Tree and List: Faster through superior API choice.
    ! Hover Box: With "Zoom to Fit" enabled and happening (Hover Box size is larger than 
      the original), JPEG images displayed a stretched version of the embedded thumbnail, 
      which is usually very poor quality, instead of stretching the original image. Fixed.
    ! Live Filter: Numeric comparisons like "prop:imagex: < 500" didn't work anymore since 
      v28.10.0102 - 2025-12-16 16:41. Fixed.
    ! Live Filter: The undocumented special image properties #image.width and 
      #image.height (much faster than prop:imagex and prop:imagey) did not work anymore 
      since 20220530. Fixed. Examples:
        prop:#image.width: < 500
        prop:#image.height: < 500

    + SC sound: Now the loop parameter also applies to internal sounds and event labels.
        sound "*1", 1; //loop internal sound *1
        sound "SystemHand", , 1; //loop system error sound
        sound; //stop the looping
      Note that looping is not supported for non-WAW audio files.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: Variables in captions weren't resolved anymore since 
      20251214. Fixed.
    ! Multiple Monitors: Turning off any monitor created a minimized taskbar icon for 
      XYplorer even if it was minimized to tray. Fixed.

v27.20.0801 - 2025-12-29 13:20
    + Floating Preview: You now get cursor-focused zoom when you zoom in or out by the 
      wheel. This is a game changer for those interested in detail.
    * Floating Preview: You can now move uncropped images as well. If Mouse Down Blow Up
      is enabled (toggleable by pressing M), use the right mouse button to move an image; 
      otherwise, use the left mouse button.
    * Floating Preview: The hand cursor that indicated that images could be moved with the 
      left mouse button has been removed. I didn't like how it covered the area it was 
      pointing to.
    * Custom Toolbar Buttons: Undid this change from v27.20.0705 - 2025-12-09 18:56:
      - Now, if a Name is defined but no Icon, the button is automatically displayed as a 
        text button, i.e. the text in the Name field is used as the button graphics.
    ! Floating Preview: Since v21.50.0106 - 2021-01-30 16:00, the maximum zoom factor has 
      been limited by area-dependent logic. For example, it ended around 345% for a 
      2048x2048 image. This was never intended to apply to the Floating Preview%. Fixed. 
      The maximum zoom factor is now back to 64 (6400%).

v27.20.0802 - 2025-12-30 21:43
    + Floating Preview: Added toggle "Zoom to Cursor" (U) to the context menu. Toggles the 
      new cursor-focused zoom feature, aka cursor-centric zoom, aka zoom to cursor.
    ! List Management: When toggling editor mode for an empty list, the buttons on the 
      right side would disappear and never come back. Fixed.

    ! Symbolic Links: Symlinks to files were shown with an incorrect icon (the generic 
      folder icon) since 20251216. Fixed.
    ! File | Rename Special: The v27.20.0706 - 2025-12-12 15:35 enhancement went too far 
      and replaced the valid path character "\" in rename patterns. Fixed.

v27.20.0901 - 2026-01-13 11:59
    + Tweak TreeNoHoriScroll: Extended to a small bit field:
        TreeNoHoriScroll=1    = suppress the horizontal scrollbar in the tree
        TreeNoHoriScroll=2    = suppress horizontal auto-scrolling on drag-over
    * Tree: Now by factory default (fresh instance), horizontal auto-scrolling on 
      drag-over doesn't happen anymore. You can tweak it back though:
        TreeNoHoriScroll=0
    - Tweak ScriptUnindent: Removed.
    * Paper Folders: If "Explicit Save Only" is off, then renaming a file in a PF now 
      immediately updates the PF in memory and on disk so it stays in sync with reality.
    ! Searching, Filtering, Coloring by Date Ranges:
      - Help File: Several examples in the help file used the German date format but 
        failed to mention that it would not work in countries with different formats. Fixed.
      - Open ranges did not work, for example:
          dateC: 2025-09-24 -         match all dates from 2025-09-24 00:00:00
          dateC: - 2025-09-23         match all dates till 2025-09-23 23:59:59
        Fixed.
    ! List: In larger lists with slow custom columns, clicking on an item while the list 
      is refreshing may cause the wrong item to be selected and added to the current 
      selection. Fixed. Now, clicks and keystrokes in the list are completely blocked 
      while it refreshes.
