XYplorer Beta Club
v5.00.0002 - 26.05.06 19:35
+ Find Files, Excluded Folders: now - finally! - you can (un)check
individually the folders you actually want to exclude.
+ All lists with checkboxes: right-click to pop up a ctx menu.
+ Catalog: dropping on a category heading now flashes a black
cross cursor.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0004 - 27.05.06 21:47
+ File List: added live column sizing (size-while-you-drag).
+ File List: better visual feedback when drag-shifting columns.
% Preview: switch from one to the next previewed file smoother.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0005 - 28.05.06 19:34
+ Toolbar: added separators.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0008 - 29.05.06 10:27
* Help file: re-ordered the topics to have a logical browse
sequence, and started updating was has to be updated.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0009 - 29.05.06 21:05
! Rich Copy Here/Rich Move Here commands were not shown anymore in
the drag-drop-context menu from find results when the search
included subfolders. Fixed.
! Statusbar could get focus. Fixed.
* Help file: pretty much up-to-date.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0010 - 30.05.06 12:48
+ Catalog: added "Refresh Icons" to the context menu. Refreshes all
catalog item icons.
* Catalog: all icons are now refreshed at startup. Before, folder
icons have not been updated.
! When dragging into XY from outside, some internal temporary data
have not always been reset with consequences for the visibility of
certain drag-and-drop context menu items. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0011 - 31.05.06 09:40
* Better auto-selection-on-got-focus strategy with text boxes (aka
edit fields). Before you could immediately reduce the selection by
mousedown + dragging to left or right (!), which is counter-
intuitive and/because non- standard. Try for example the text
boxes in Catalog/Properties to see the new behavior.
! You could show the Tree/Catalog-splitter by pressing F8 while Tree
was hidden. Fixed.
! Catalog-height was altered after hiding/showing Tree in High Tree
mode as if it was not High Tree mode. Fixed.
+ The Customize Toolbar lists now know the wheel.
* Catalog: slightly reorganized the context menu. Each section now
applies to a particular level:
(1) item
(2) category
(3) catalog
(4-6) item and catagory
Code: Select all
v5.00.0012 - 01.06.06 12:46
+ Panel/Find Files: now you can toggle the find filters by holding
CTRL while clicking the filters' tab headers.
! When you load an XLS file into Excel it automatically changes the
modified date to the latest date and time. However, when you close
the file in Excel and have not made any changes, it puts the old
date and time back. XY ignored the latter. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0016 - 03.06.06 10:55
* Menu View: before, "Refresh File List" (F5) did not only update
the displayed data, but also reset scroll position, focus position,
and any selections. Now, it does only update the displayed data.
It's faster than light, so don't be surprised when you don't see
anything happening.
+ Menu View: added command "Refresh and Reset File List" (Ctrl+F5).
It does exactly what "Refresh File List" (F5) did before the
modification described here above: update the data, scroll back to
top, set focus to the first item (if any), unselect any selections.
In other words: the list will look as if you had just browsed to a
new location.
Just to make sure: with both kinds of Refresh, the resulting list
contents and their order are exactly identical, namely up-to-date.
The only differences lie in the status of the list control: scroll
position, focus position, selections.
+ Menu View: added command "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
(Ctrl+Shift+H). Identical to the checkbox on Configuration/General.
+ Toolbar: added button to "Show/Hide Hidden Items"; does the same
as Ctrl+Shift+H.
+ Toolbar: added button to "Show/Hide Catalog". What's that icon? It's a
golden box. Catalog = treasure box... war of the metaphors... ;)

v5.00.0017 - 07.06.06 11:53
! Toolbar, Back/Forward button: the history popup menus rendered a
line break wherever captions included a comma character. Fixed.
! Menu View/Tab/Tab List: popup menu rendered a line break wherever
captions included a comma character. Fixed.
! Panel/File View: a viewed file was not auto-reloaded after an
auto-refresh, so the view might have been out-of-date. Fixed.
* No error is thrown anymore if INI file or catalog.dat are read-
only (as for example when running XYplorer from a CD-ROM).
! XYplorer terminated on startup after switching between locales with
different decimal separators (e.g. from Dutch (,) to English (.))
when the font size was fractional (e.g. "8.25" resp. "8,25"). Fixed
by storing a non-fractional "MilliSize" instead of "Size" in the
INI file Font section. Note, that your previous font size settings
are lost by this upgrade.
* Panel/File View: now right-clicking/selecting a new file will
close any previous File View (and Preview).
Code: Select all
v5.00.0018 - 08.06.06 09:06
+ Menu Tools, List Management: added "Rename Special: Search and
Replace...".
! Catalog: failed retrieving icons for network (UNC) *files*. Fixed.
* Catalog: now icons are only retrieved when the catalog is
visible/shown. Purpose: faster start-up when catalog is hidden,
because e.g. non-available network items can be a bit slow here.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0019 - 09.06.06 13:44
+ Toolbar: added button "Toggle No Filter/Last Filter"
(Ctrl+Shift+J).
+ Configuration/General: added option "Exclude extension from rename
pre-selection". So this wonderful behavior, which you know from XY
and its predecessors since 1998, is now optional.
+ "Slow double-click invokes single-rename" now also in the Tree. Before
it worked only in the List.
! Catalog: again failed retrieving icons for network (UNC) items
under certain cnoditions because the last fix introduced a new bug.
Fixed, and hopefully did not add another one ;).
! Column width auto-adjustment did not work with "Refresh File List"
(just with "Refresh and Reset File List"). Fixed.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0020 - 10.06.06 10:06
+ Now you can create internet shortcuts by dropping URLs onto the
file list.
* Panel: the Preview/File View is not auto-refreshed anymore when
the list is refreshed but the previewed file itself has not been
modified.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0021 - 15.06.06 11:56
* Internal code polishing in the drag'n'drop department. No notable
surface effects for the vast majority of users/uses.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0022 - 16.06.06 12:08
+ Batch Rename: now you can keep the original extensions by simply
*not stating* any extension in the name template. Isn't that a cute
little idea?! Advantages:
(a) You don't have to care about entering the correct extension
anymore.
(b) You can re-use the same name templates for differemt file
types.
(c) You can batch-rename files of different types in one go
without corrupting their extension/type.
By the way: To remove all extensions let the name template end
with a dot.
+ Configuration/Advanced: added option "Resort list immediately
after rename". Resorts list after single and batch renames, and
scrolls focused item into view.
! Panel/Preview: when trying to rename or delete previewed PDFs or
Office files you would get a "file is locked" error occasionally.
Fixed.
