    - Find Files, Name tab: removed the ugly little Goto button below 
      the Location field.

      destination of the search results to the bottom-right of tab. Click

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.50.0067, 04-apr-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.50.0067 - 04.04.06 11:40
    + Find Files tab: added new sub-tab "Options". Now you control the 
      destination of the search results from here.
    * Find Files, Name pattern: slight change to the conditions of 
      internal "auto-asterisking" (active when "Exact Match" is 
      unchecked).
      Before:
        *ab*, ab*, *ab        remain unchanged
        ab  -> *ab*           if "Exact Match" = False
        a*b -> *a*b*          if "Exact Match" = False
      Now:
        *ab*, ab*, *ab, a*b   remain unchanged
        ab  -> *ab*           if "Exact Match" = False
      This is the reversal of the changes in v3.60.0152 (27.03.05).
    * Before, after editing and then <enter>ing Address Bar, Name, or 
      Location field, the caret automatically moved to the end. Now it 
      stays where it was, and any selection is kept as well. Okay!
    * Address Bar, Name, Location field: selected items are not 
      automatically shifted to the top position anymore. Since we have 
      auto-complete and list management, this service is just 
      counterproductive.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.50.0071, 05-apr-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.50.0071 - 05.04.06 14:30
    + Configuration, General: added option "Move last used item to top" 
      for Address Bar, Name field, Location field. Check to have the 
      last used item always at the top position in the drop-down list.
    * Configuration, General: now you can turn off auto-complete for the 
      Address Bar.
    * Toolbar: better tooltip handling (now using a timer approach).
    + Menu Tools, List Management: added Find Files, Excluded Folders.
    * Find Files, Excluded Folders: re-designed the whole section.
v4.50.0068 - 04.04.06 14:47
    + Find Files, status bar: now the number of scanned files is shown 
      while a search is going on.
    ! TrueType/OpenType (*.ttf) files did always show ultra-generic icon 
      (the icon for "file"). Fixed. Now they show the TrueType or the 
      OpenType icon depending on their actual contents.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.50.0072, 05-apr-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.50.0072 - 05.04.06 23:47
    ! Multi-selection got lost after auto-refresh from v4.50.0064 on. 
      Fixed.
    ! When you moved a file by drag&drop the treeview retained the 
      destination folder as its current location, instead of giving it 
      back to the actual current location (since v4.50.0062 only). 
      Fixed.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.50.0074, 08-apr-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.50.0074 - 08.04.06 11:16
    * Adjusted the tab opening keyboard usage to the de facto standards 
      set by Firefox and IE7:
        Ctrl+Click:       Open in New Background Tab
        Ctrl+Shift+Click: Open in New Tab (and focus it)
        Shift+Click:      Open in New Tab (and focus it)
        Ctrl+Alt+Click:   Open in This Tab (even if it is locked)
      Open in New Tab also works when browsing by means other than 
      clicking a tree node. For example when you select a Favorite while 
      holding Shift it will open in a new foreground tab.
      Note that Shift+Click (as alternative to Ctrl+Shift+Click) is used 
      in Firefox/IE7 for "Open in new browser window", which does not 
      make much sense in a file manager, hence we use it for Open In New 
      Tab and continue a good XYplorer tradition.
    * Menu View, Rebuild Tree: new keyboard shortcut: Shift+F4.
    * Ctrl+F4 now closes the current tab (just as Ctrl+W does).
    + Menu View, Tab, Close All Other Unlocked Tabs:
        New Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+W
    + Menu View, Tab, Lock Tab:
        New Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+L
    * Menu Go, Go to Line...:
        Changed Keyboard shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+L
    * Menu View, Tab, Go Home: new keyboard shortcut Alt+Home (it's 
      standard and saves Ctrl+E for future jobs).
    * Searching on Locked Tabs: before, you could turn a locked browsing 
      tab into a locked finding tab by doing a search on it with search 
      results destination "Current Tab". Now a new tab will be opened 
      automatically, thus preserving the locked tab's browsing mode.
    * When aborting a thumb caching process, you are not prompted 
      anymore whether you really want to cache thumbs unless you 
      explicitly stopped the loading via the ESC key.
    * Now, on tab change a selected and focused item will be 
      automatically previewed if the preview tab is active.

v4.50.0077 - 09.04.06 18:29
    + A Name Search (a search only by Name), which can be invoked via 
      Address Bar operator "?", is now is remembered tabwise.
    * If "Synchronize tree with search location", the Address Bar 
      remained unsynched. Fixed.
    * Configuration General, Minimize to tray: rewrote code in order to 
      support certain hotkey managers.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.60.0003, 11-apr-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.60.0003 - 11.04.06 19:46
    * Configuration, General, "Remember find mode between sessions". 
      Now, if the startup tab is a *locked* finding tab, find mode will 
      always be remembered independent of this setting.
    ! System tray was not cleaned of icon when app was restored 
      programmatically (e.g. by a system wide HotKey). Fixed.
    ! Search Results tab did not remember any new find settings, but 
      when selected it fell back to prior settings. Since 2 days only. 
      Fixed.
    ! Search Templates: option "Search current location" did in fact 
      search stored location. Fixed.
    + Search Templates: now the last selected template is preselected 
      when opening the templates dialog.

    ! Previewed Office files got immediately re-previewed after preview

    ! Font Preview: the font size selector was partly covered by another 
      control. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v4.60.0005 - 12.04.06 19:42
    ! Find Files, Excluded Folders: the fixes in v4.50.0022 (09.03.06 
      23:04) introduced a new bug that made any folder containing any 
      upper case letter be included even if "excluded". The exclusion 
      comparison is case-sensitive (A!=a), but that was only half-
      implemented, hence the bug. Fixed now.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.60.0006, 15-apr-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.60.0006 - 15.04.06 10:08
    + Menu Edit, Selection Filter: now you can select items by comparing 
      your pattern with *any* column (not just the Name column). The 
      comparison that results in selections on a match is a case-
      insensitive string comparison (not number or date comparison).
      To select by columns other than the name column, simply prefix the 
      pattern with '[column name]:' Note: the column identification is 
      case-insensitive (e.g. 'type' works for the Type column), and 
      there's no space after ":".
      Examples (results partly depend on the column display format):
        size:? KB       -> selects all items < 10 KB
        modified:*2006* -> selects all items modified in year 2006
        type:vis*  -> selects all items of type starting with "vis"      
      The name column is the default, so "name:" can be omitted. If you 
      type an invalid column name, the name column will be used.      
    + Menu Tools, List Management: added Selection Filters.
    ! Info Panel, Report, Current List: column widths were partly 
      slightly wrong when padding blanks. Fixed.

    ! Preview of audio files did not auto-stop after selecting a non-
      previewed file type or switching folders. Fixed.
    ! Another case of an extension with potentially specific icons was 
      detected: .sln files (MS Visual Studio solutions). Added.

Code: Select all

v4.60.0008 - 03.05.06 14:00
    * Statusbar rewritten from scratch. If everything worked out, you 
      should not note any difference at all.
      This is step 1 towards the next big feature: the catalog!
    ! The info panel max size was 1 pixel too high with the effect that 
      you could not select an item when only one list row was visible 
      (happens with all top bars visible plus horizontal scrollbar) 
      without having this item disappear immediately. Fixed.

v4.60.0009 - 04.05.06 12:19
    + Menu View: added command "High Tree".
      This is step 2 towards the next big feature: the catalog!
    + Tree now remembers expansion state of the current node between 
      sessions. This is independent of the setting of "Expand destination 
      node in tree".

    ! Fixed a number of glitches with "High Tree".
      It should be obvious that High Tree
      (a) is making a difference only with the info panel on,
      (b) is not your choice when you run a 800x600 screen,
      (c) is indispensable once we have the catalog.

    + Added extra wheel support for the List Management list (some mice 
      were not supported). Tricky thing. Does it work?
      This is step 3 towards the next big feature: the catalog!
    ! Ctrl+Shift+F4 (Show Tree) did not work. Fixed.

Locked
