v7.90.0010 - 2008-12-18 21:14
! Favorite Folders: A favorite like this
"Append modified date" ::rename "b", "*-<datem yyyymmdd>"
lost its outer quotes across sessions. Fixed.

v7.90.0012 - 2008-12-19 17:55
+ Added "Spot" (working title): A new highlighting feature inspired
by the Google Toolbar and the Firefox Searchbar. For the time
being it has no separate GUI but can be invoked via the Address
Bar (or any of the other location interfaces). Simply type in a
string prefixed with ">" and press Enter. The string will be
highlighted in the file list wherever it's found (case-
insensitive: a=A).
For example:
>p [Enter] = highlight all letters "p" and "P"
To turn it off again type a single ">":
> [Enter]
The highlighting is not retained across sessions.

v7.90.0015 - 2008-12-20 10:44
+ Spot now supports an unlimited number of strings, separated by |
(pipe). Four predefined colors are rotated.
For example:
>7.|xy|2008| |-|~

v7.90.0016 - 2008-12-20 17:36
+ Media Preview: Added a way to repeat any particular section of the
medium (audio or video), aka "A-B repeat". Looping must be enabled
(tick "Play Again") to make it happen. The section is defined by
clicking anywhere (no matter where) on the progress bar while the
medium is previewed (no matter whether running or paused):
Ctrl+LeftClick: Set start of section to now
Ctrl+RightClick: Set end of section to now
Ctrl+Alt+Click: Unset any section
If a section start is defined then "Go To Beginning" (Shift+Space,
or Shift+Click) will go to the beginning of the section.
There is no visual marking of the section, so this is a low-
comfort / low-documentation feature for the time being. But it
works okay and can be useful.
The section is auto-unset when you preview the next file.

v7.90.0017 - 2008-12-21 22:04
+ Media Preview: Now the progress bar's tooltip shows the timeline
position of the cursor.
+ Media Preview: Added keyboard-driven backwind and forewind. Works
in paused and running mode, on audio and video.
Left: Frame step backward (Audio: 100 msec backward)
Right: Frame step forward (Audio: 100 msec forward)
Shift+Left: 1 sec backward
Shift+Right: 1 sec forward
! Media Preview: Rounding error in frames per second calculation let
to one-off under certain circumstances. E.g. the typical FLV video
file has 25 fps but XY showed only 24 fps. Fixed.

v7.90.0018 - 2008-12-22 15:45
+ Media Preview: Added minimal media control buttons. Both "Play"
and "Pause" have identical functionality, namely toggle Play /
Pause, with inverse pressed-states. "Stop" rewinds to beginning
and stops there.
* Media Preview: Swapped buttons' functionality when clicking
progress bar. Now you *Left*-click to seek a new position (which
is the expected behavior), and you *Right*-click to play/pause.
! Media Preview: Fixed some glitches with Audio-CD playing.

v7.90.0019 - 2008-12-23 15:08
* SC rename: Now, when you cancel the operation and it's the last
line in the script you get no more "error" message about "Rename
failed or was cancelled".
Code: Select all
v7.90.0021 - 2008-12-29 11:30
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: StrRepeat
Action: Repeats a string
Syntax: strrepeat(string, count)
string: string to be repeated
count: number of repetitions
return: repeated string
Example:
echo strrepeat("abc", 2); //abcabc
* SC loadtree: Now the pathlist parameter is optional and defaults
to the current path if missing.
Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify=0]
! Crash when selecting EXE with malformed version info. Fixed.
! Find Files tab: Location box showed Visual Filter overlay when
multiple locations were separated by "|". Fixed.
! Tree folder context menu: "Create New Subfolder here" did enter
rename mode for the wrong folder when tree was locked. Fixed. No
rename mode is entered in tree since the new folder is not part of
the locked tree.
! Folder View Settings: Auto-changed default FV wasn't updated after
changing list modes. Fixed.
! Scripting: When parsing multiline scripts, all Tab chars were
replaced by two spaces. Fixed.
! CKS dialog: "Copy Cheat Sheet" using "Scope" created a messed up
layout because "Triggered on KeyDown" was printed on a new line.
Fixed.

v7.90.0022 - 2008-12-30 12:15
* SC run experimentally enhanced:
Syntax: run command, [wait=0]
command: module name plus (optionally) arguments
module names containing blanks must be quoted
wait:
0 = return immediately and continue the script
1 = only continue when the shelled process has finished
Examples:
::run '"C:\Programme\WinZip\WINZIP32.EXE" -min', 1;
msg "Done!"; //shows "Done!" when WinZip is closed
::run "notepad C:\Programme\XYplorer\ReadmeXY.txt", 1;
msg "Done!" //shows "Done!" when notepad is closed
Notes
~~~~~
Contrary to using "run" with wait=0, wait=1 is not fully identical
to the Windows Run command: Not all sorts of commands work, there
is less smartness built in.
For example, you cannot call documents that will be opened by the
associated application. This will NOT work:
::run "C:\Programme\XYplorer\ReadmeXY.txt", 1; //NO JOY
You also canNOT use short forms like this:
::run winzip, 1; //NO JOY
However this works (don't know why, maybe because it's in the path):
::run notepad, 1; //OKAY
! Catalog: Drag'n'Drop got a bit confused when you stated paths with
wrong capitalization (which under Windows should not matter).
Fixed.
! Scripting: Parsing multiline scripts went wrong when lines began
with a mix of TABs and spaces. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0023 - 2008-12-30 20:54
* SC run: Now there's a modal dialog while the shelled process is
being active. It blocks you from doing anything but wait or cancel
the waiting and continue with the script.
! Scripting: Parsing multiline scripts still went wrong where TABs
were used in place of spaces. Fixed. Now all TABs outside single or
double quotes are replaced by spaces.
* Info Panel: Changed "apply" icon for time-stamping from green
cross to green tick.
* Updated the help file.

v7.90.0024 - 2009-01-02 15:18
* SC run enhanced: Added parameter directory.
Syntax: run command, [directory], [wait=0]
command: module name plus (optionally) arguments
module names containing blanks must be quoted
[directory]: working directory, allows you to skip the path in
command; defaults to current path
[wait]:
0 = [default] return immediately and continue the script
1 = only continue when the shelled process has finished
Examples:
::run "ReadmeXY.txt", "C:\Programme\XYplorer\";
::run "notepad Edit.txt",,1; //open Edit.txt using notepad _
in current path

v7.90.0026 - 2009-01-04 23:00

smaller (but > 0) list (after moving or deleting files). Fixed.

v7.90.0027 - 2009-01-05 14:36
%%% Startup massively faster (ca. 20% depending on a number of
factors): Now the WebBrowser control (embedded instance of
InternetExplorer) is only loaded when it's needed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0028 - 2009-01-05 15:09
+ Scripting got a new command.
Name: html
Action: Displays an HTML formatted string.
Syntax: html [html], [width=600], [height=400], [caption=XYplorer]
html: HTML formatted string, or name of one.
If no "<" character is contained it is interpreted as
a URL or filename pointing to an HTML formatted
document, resp. any type of document that can be
displayed in InternetExplorer.
Default: Current file.
width: Width of window in pixels (minimum: 250; maximum:
screen width; default: 600).
height: Height of window in pixels (minimum: 150; maximum:
screen height; default: 400).
caption: Caption on window's title bar; default: "XYplorer".
Examples:
::html "<html><body>Hi!</body></html>";
::html "http://www.xyplorer.com/", 800;
// note that <xypath> is resolved before the argument is passed
// to html, so it is auto-interpreted correctly as filename:
::html "<xypath>\XYplorer.pdf";

v7.90.0029 - 2009-01-05 19:46
* SC html is now a function.
Name: html
Action: Displays an HTML formatted string.
Syntax: html([html], [width=600], [height=400], _
[caption=XYplorer])
return: A special hypertext reference when a link starting with
"xys:" was clicked (see example).
On Close button or ESC, an empty string is returned.
Examples:
// shows a message box "Yes!" or "No!" depending on the link
// you click:
::echo(html('<html><body><a href="xys:Yes!">Say "Yes!"</a> _
<br><a href="xys:No!">Say "No!"</a></body></html>'));
// the other examples now need parentheses:
::html("<html><body>Hi!</body></html>");
::html("http://www.xyplorer.com/", 800);
::html("<xypath>\XYplorer.pdf");
