Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (64-bit):

Code: Select all

v28.30.0601 - 2026-06-03 12:01
    + Quick Search and Find Files: Added selector "sig:" (= signature). Use it to find 
      files that start with a specific byte sequence (all files are checked, all folders 
      are ignored). This is especially useful when files lack file extensions or you 
      suspect they have incorrect file extensions.
      The bytes are specified with hex codes (optionally separated by spaces). These, for 
      example, will match ZIP archives (all four versions are functionally identical):
        sig:504B03
        sig: 504B03
        sig:50 4B 03
        sig: 50 4B 03
      Of course, sig patterns can be combined in Boolean expressions:
        sig:504B03 or sig:FFD8
        sig: 50 4B 03 or sig: FF D8
        *.txt or sig: 50 4B 03 or sig: FF D8
      The wildcard "??" for "any byte" is supported:
        sig: 50 ?? 03      
    * Search Files | Content: When "Wildcards" mode is selected, patterns are now 
      automatically enclosed in asterisks (pattern -> *pattern*) only if wildcards are not 
      already present. This (potentially breaking) change allows you to create wildcard 
      patterns that match the beginning or/and end of files (pattern*, *pattern, 
      pattern*pattern), which is very useful but was not previously possible.    
    + Catalog | Item Properties Dialog: Now you can reset the colors to default by 
      right-clicking the color label.
    * Catalog: Now, for overall consistency, the content is now shifted down by two 
      pixels, just like in the tree.
    ! Catalog | Item Properties Dialog: Dark mode got stuck in parts of the dialog after 
      switching back to light mode, due to a tB bug. Worked around.
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version of XYplorer (64-bit), hold down the CTRL key and 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.

    ! Drag and Drop: In SumatraPDF v3.7 you can select text/images inside a PDF and drag 
      and drop them. Dragging such a thing over possible targets in XYplorer, or dropping 
      it, could result in a crash. Half-fixed. Drag and drop still does not work here, but 
      there is no crash anymore.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (64-bit):

Code: Select all

v28.30.0701 - 2026-06-08 17:26
    * Startup: Now, the main menu bar is hidden by default. This is because menus are seen 
      as old-fashioned, or even completely outdated, by younger users. But don't worry, 
      it's easy to get it back (see the next point).
    * Toolbar | Show Menu Bar: This button now toggles the "modern menu bar" by default, 
      i.e. the one that is part of the toolbar and that obeys to Dark Mode.
      Notes:
        - The button doesn't have a pressed state anymore. It's not necessary here and it 
          doesn't look as cool.
        - It's easy to go back to the old way of doing things (see the next point).
    + Toolbar | Show Menu Bar: Now, when you hold down CTRL, the button has a special 
      right-click menu where you can change the button's functionality:
        - Use Classic Menu Bar: Check it to have the button toggle the classic 
          menu bar (the one that doesn't obey to Dark Mode).
      There are also toggle commands for the classic and the modern menu bar:
        - Toggle Modern Menu Bar
        - Toggle Classic Menu Bar
    * Miscellaneous | General Functions | Toggle Main Menu: Also this function (and its 
      keyboard shortcut) is now controlled by the setting of "Use Classic Menu Bar".
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Point to select: In 
      Details view, the selection happened even when pointing beyond the file name or 
      icon. Probably since 20260419. Fixed.

    * Toolbar | Show Menu Bar: Now, when the modern menu bar is shown, it's shown as the 
      last row of the toolbar rather than the first row. That way the mouse pointer stays 
      over the toggle button, and it looks cooler.
    - Toolbar: The default toolbar now has three fewer buttons to make it easier for 
      younger users.

    * Toolbar | Show Menu Bar: Now you can toggle the modern menu bar at other positions 
      (wherever you position it in Customize Toolbar), not only at the very end/bottom of 
      the toolbar.
    * Splitters: Increased the default width from 2 to 4 pixels, which is the recommended 
      value.
