BETA version (with detailed history information)

[admin]

+ Menu File: added command "Update New Items Menu". Makes TrackerV3 rescan the "NewItems" folder.

Should it not be "Menu | View - Update New Item"??

Yes, thanks. I corrected it.

For me personally one of the best features since months!!

Don't know about that, but definately great yeah!
And the folder thing is awesome, let you create a folder with its default subfolders & files, excellent to create a "new project" with the same usual stuff I used to copy manually.

    + Menu Edit, New Items: added bitmaps to the menu items. I had to 
      shrink the 16x16 pixels file type icons to 13x13 to fit the menu 
      item height. But they ain't looking too bad.

    * New design for the three popup menu buttons on the info panel.
    * A taste of a potential future: the candidate name Xyplorer poses 
      for you in the window title bar.

Ok, the new website will not happen today; I got caught by this auto-refresh thingy... ... so we are still here for a little while.

  *** TrackerV3 is now XYplorer!
      Pronounciation hint: X-Y-plorer.
      Friends may say simply XY [ekswai].
    > Migration tip: run TrackerV3 a last time and uncheck (if checked)
        "Track..." in shell context menu
      in Configuration, General. This will remove the registry entry.
      Then start XYplorer and check it if you want the same service 
      again.
    ! Certain auto-refresh irregularities when deleting a tree folder 
      under Win2K. Fixed.
    + Configuration: redesigned the "Auto-refresh on file system changes" 
      section. Now you can specify in a very detailed way what you want 
      to be watched and where.
      For your interest as a programmer:
      - "Watch current path and subtree on: Local drives/Network drives" 
        uses the FindFirstChangeNotification API.
      - "Watch non-current locations: Folders/Removable drives" uses the 
        SHChangeNotify API.
      Tip: if you are using the network a lot you might encounter 
      dramatic speed differences related to these settings.
        Note that auto-refresh concerns exclusively changes triggered 
      from other processes. If you disable it completely, XYplorer 
      should still correctly update the display with regard to its own 
      file operations. I say should... some things might have slipt 
      through...
    + Along with the above changes I rearranged the configuration window 
      a bit, adding an "Advanced" tab (hey, it's an Advanced File System 
      Explorer) for stuff that's either too adventurous for beginners or 
      not likely to be changed very often.

Ok XYplorer has arrived . Thx a lot.

I assume there is no reason not to simply copy the ini file from TrackerV3 to XYplorer. That way I will get all my settings back.

With XPlorer not running, I copied the old INI file over to the new XYplorer install directory, and renamed it to XYplorer.ini. This worked fine.

Correct, that's the way!

The earliest I found is Tracker 1.50 from January 1998! It's, well, different from today's version, but you will recognize some basic traits. http://www.trackerv3.com/download/Track ... _Trial.zip
Note that this is only a trial version!

(EDIT: needs VB40032.DLL in the path; comes with the zip)
