      folders yet show all files. Simply prefix "*|" to the pattern. For 
      example, to show only folders beginning with "a" and all files:
        *|a*

        *|!*

    * SC report: Now field {fullname} returns just "C:" for drive C: 
      (etc.), i.e. a usable path spec. Before it returned an unusable 
      combination of MyComputer and the drive's caption.
    ! SC delete: Did not delete items (in itemlist) containing 
      wildcards anymore. Fixed.
      Delete all INI and BAK files in E:\Folder:
        delete 1, 1, "E:\Folder\*.tmp | E:\Folder\*.bak";

      versions ago. Fixed.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0100, 02-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0100 - 2009-02-02 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ Tags and Comments. Now you can assign tags and comments to your 
      files and folders.
  +++ Visual Filters. Now you can define any filter to apply only to 
      files yet show or hide all folders.
  +++ Scripting. Now the so-called Heredoc syntax is supported.

v7.90.0100 - 2009-02-02 12:00
    + Added tweak to fix, or rather workaround, a strange caret position 
      error in Tree/List inline rename with Unicode characters, aka 
      "Chinese odd thing".
        [General]
        FixOddThing=1
      Note that with this workaround you may notice a horizontal 
      misalignment of text when pasting into inline rename boxes. It's 
      harmless but cosmetically unsatisfying.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0101, 04-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0101 - 2009-02-04 10:38
    * Column-Click Tagging: Now, when using the right button, there's a 
      temporary focus rect marking the field about to be set.
    * Tabs: Slight change in icon retrieval for tabs pointing to network 
      locations. Might speed it up for unavailable network locations.
    * HTML preview: If you attempt to close the preview window using 
      JavaScript "window.close();" you will be stopped and see the 
      message: "Closing the preview window is not allowed."
    ! FVS and Locked tabs: A tab that was auto-selected due to the 
      locked condition of the current tab received the FVS style of its 
      location instead of the tab's stored style, so the rule "tab style 
      overwrites FVS style" was broken. Fixed.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0102, 05-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0102 - 2009-02-05 10:21
    * SC loadtree: Now only existing paths are accepted in the pathlist 
      argument, but any existing *files* at the end of the paths are 
      ignored.
    * Configuration | Tags: Now you cannot move the list positions of 
      the tag schemes anymore. Also deletion works only on the last item 
      of the list. This way the index order of the existing tags is 
      always maintained.
    + Added tweak to generally force generic icons for network locations 
      anywhere in the interface:
        [Settings]
        GenericIconsForNetworkLocations=1
      While aesthetically not very satisfying, this will improve 
      performance for users that often have tabs or UDCs pointing to 
      unavailable network locations.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0105, 06-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0105 - 2009-02-06 11:39
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Cycle tabs in recently used 
      order". Enable it to cycle the tabs based on the usage sequence 
      (aka MRU) instead of the left-to-right position.
      The cycle functions are these:
        Miscellaneous / Tab Functions /
          Cycle Tabs Backward:  Ctrl+Shift+Tab; MouseWheel Up
          Cycle Tabs Forward:   Ctrl+Tab;       MouseWheel Down
          Cycle Tabs Backward, Delay Browsing:  Ctrl+PageUp
          Cycle Tabs Forward, Delay Browsing:   Ctrl+PageDown
      Note that going by MRU has the usual "history" logic: If you go 
      backward from A to B, then to return to A you have to go *forward* 
      (not backward again).
    + SC seltab enhanced: Added argument mru.
      Syntax: seltab [position], [mru]
        mru:  0 = left-right-order
              1 = recently used order
              only applied if position is relative: "+" or "-"
      Examples:
        ::seltab "+", 1 = select the next tab, use MRU
        ::seltab "-", 1 = select the previous tab, use MRU
    ! Tags: Database was not correctly updated with partially completed 
      file operations, i.e. when you aborted the process at some point. 
      Fixed.
    ! Since 2009-01-27 the app would easily crash when sorting 
      Search Results by Path AND "Show relative path in search results" 
      was enabled. Fixed.
    ! FVS and Locked tabs: If the Default tab was auto-selected due to 
      the locked condition of the current tab it did not receive the FVS 
      style of its location instead of the tab's stored style. However, in 
      case of the Default tab the folder style should overwrite the tab 
      style. Fixed.

    + Tree: Now you can freely (in one-pixel steps between a lower and 
      an upper limit) change the node indent using Shift+MouseWheel over 
      the Tree.
        Shift+MouseWheel Up (away from you):  decrease indent
        Shift+MouseWheel Down (towards you):  increase indent
      In Tree style "Narrow Tree" the setting is ignored.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0107, 09-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0107 - 2009-02-09 14:43
    * File Find: Now by default Junctions are NOT recursed on a 
      recursive File Find (when "Include subfolders" is ticked). To 
      enable recursing Junctions see the tweak below.
    + Added tweak to allow recursing Junctions on a File Find:
        [Settings]
        FindFollowJunctions=1
      Set to 1 to recurse Junctions. On demand I will raise this tweak 
      to config level.
    * Configuration | Tabs: Now with "Activate left tab on closing 
      current" AND "Cycle tabs in recently used order" both enabled, the 
      *previously used tab* is auto-selected on closing the current tab.
    * Menu Go | Drives...: Now only existing drives are shown in the 
      popup. Empty removable and unaccessible network drives are skipped.
    ! Cycling tabs in recently used order could get slightly confused 
      after tabs were removed. Fixed.
    * Startup: Before, if called with /ini or /win switch a 2nd instance 
      was loaded always (regardless of any settings concerning this). 
      Now, this is true only for /ini. So now you can run XY with the 
      /win switch and still reuse any existing instance (of course, the 
      /win switch is ignored then).
    ! PFA: Little glitch with quotes in definitions. Now you can do 
      things like this and it works as expected:
      |\>"C:\Programme\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" "<item1>" "<clipboard>"

v7.90.0116 - 2009-02-10 21:45
    ! SC md5: Had a problem (at least under some locales) with certain 
      input characters (e.g. ANSI 138 = Š) because of inherent codepage 
      related conversions. As a result md5() calculations of binary 
      files were likely to return wrong results. Fixed.
      En passant md5 got a tad faster.
    * Cycling tabs in recently used order: Now, when you are on the most 
      recent tab, Ctrl+Tab will not wrap around anymore but go backward. 
      This allows you to jump back and forth between the 2 most recent 
      tabs with one key combination.
    ! Fixed recent issues related to the /win switch changes in 
      v7.90.0107.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0117, 11-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0117 - 2009-02-11 12:49
    + Added tweak to define a hotkey to show (restore, foreground) the 
      application when it's in the background, minimized to taskbar, or 
      minimized to tray.
        [Settings]
        HotKeyShowApp=X
      Set to one character (A-Z, 0-9). The character/key will be used 
      together with "Win"-key, so the above example would create the 
      hotkey Win+X to show XY.
      Note that such a hotkey does not change your system or registry. 
      It is active only as long as XYplorer is loaded.
      If more than one XYplorer instance using the same hotkey is loaded 
      then only the first loaded one receives the hotkey. Even if it is 
      unloaded later, no other still loaded instance will respond to the 
      hotkey.

    + Enhanced tweak HotKeyShowApp. Now you can state the modifier keys 
      using the following values:
        ALT = 1
        CTRL = 2
        SHIFT = 4
        WIN = 8
      Simply add the values you need and prefix them to the key 
      separated by a "+". E.g. like this for Win+Alt+Y:
        [Settings]
        HotKeyShowApp=9+Y
      If no modifier is stated, the modifer defaults to 8 (Win Key).
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   asc
      Action: Returns the ASCII value of a character.
              This function complements chr(). 
      Syntax: asc(string)
        string: character 
                If string is larger than one character the first 
                character used.
                If string is empty asc() returns "" (empty).
        return: ASCII value, range 0-65535 (0xFFFF)
      Examples:
        ::echo asc("a"); //97
        ::echo asc(chr(20000)); //20000

v7.90.0120 - 2009-02-12 12:00
    = MAINTENANCE RELEASE.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0122, 13-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0122 - 2009-02-13 16:07
    + Menu View | Mini Tree: Added two further commands that allow you 
      to set and later load a Favorite Mini Tree:
      - Set As Favorite Mini Tree...
        Stores the current Mini Tree as Favorite Mini Tree. Overwrites 
        any previously stored Favorite Mini Tree (after OK-ing a 
        prompt).
        Only available/applicable in Mini Tree mode.
      - Load Favorite Mini Tree
        Loads any previously stored Favorite Mini Tree. Turns on Mini 
        Tree mode if necessary.
      The Favorite Mini Tree is stored between sessions, of course.
      The commands are as well featured in the TB button's context menu.
    + File Tags: Added command "Select All "[Tag Name]"" to the context 
      menu of toolbar button Tags and to the Tag column right-click 
      menu. Gives you a comfortable way to select a group of files based 
      on their tags and the tag of the currently focused item (resp. the 
      clicked item in case of the column context menu).
      Note that some other file managers offer various sorts of sticky 
      selection, or checkbox controlled selection. So now XYplorer has 
      "Sticky Selection Deluxe"... :)
