Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v9.90.1010 - 2011-05-31 10:10
+++ Backup operations now come with a detailed progress dialog.
The dialog contains information about the elapsed and remaining
time, the average transfer rate, number of done and remaining
files and bytes, etc. ... the usual progress dialog stuff. But
there is also something interesting:
- There is a Pause button which allows you to Pause and Continue
an operation.
- For files larger 10MB you get a per-file progress (numeric
percentage only, no separate progress bar, to keep the UI as
plain as possible). FYI, while this service theoretically should
slow down copying a tiny bit, I wasn't able to measure any
difference.
- When the operation is paused or completed you can view the
details (button "View details"). Note that this works also when
"Create log file" is off.
- You also can view the log file from this dialog (button "View
log file") if you enabled Configuration | File Operations |
Create log file. The contents are identical to the "View
details" contents, but here they are shown in a file opened in
the system default editor.
- In the unlikely case of failures (e.g. verification failed) you
get a button "View failures" which lets you see a detailed list
of all failed files.
- When the operation is completed, the dialog (optionally, see
next section) stays up so that you can check the results.
Showing the progress dialog is optional, see next section.
+ Configuration | File Operations: Added "Show progress dialog".
Check it (= factory default) to show a modal progress dialog while
the backup is in progress. If unchecked the progress is shown in
the statusbar as in previous versions.
Note that if "Show progress dialog" is enabled then "Show summary
report" causes the progress dialog to stay open after the
operation is completed. The progress dialog IS the summary report
in this case. If "Show summary report" is off then the dialog is
auto-closed after 2 seconds, unless there are any failures in
which case the dialog unconditionally stays open.
* Backup logs and summary reports: New format, more information.
! Configuration | File Operations | Skip junctions: Did not honor
Symbolic Links in Vista/Win7. Fixed. Now they are skipped as well.
+ SC backupto enhanced: Added parameter show_progress.
Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision], _
[preserve_dates], [create_log], [pop_stats], _
[skip_junctions], [verify], [show_progress]
show_progress: Show progress dialog.
Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
0 = Don't.
1 = Do.
* Catalog: The properties dialog now shows the full file spec of the
current catalog, resp. of the mother catalog of the current item.
! Backup Operations | On name collisions: The option "Affix last
modified date to copy" wrongly took the date of the existing
target and affixed it to the copy. Of course, it should have taken
the date of the source. Fixed.
! Browsing: Since v9.90.0104 - 2011-01-26 15:28 you could break into
a locked tab by using a hidden destination (e.g. a SYSTEM folder
when system folders were hidden by user settings). Fixed. Now a
new tab is opened as expected.
* SC tab: Now the "new" parameter also supports explicit browsing to
locations which are hidden from by user settings.
* Refreshing Tree and List: Now the statusbar gives a short
feedback when you explicitly refresh.
To
download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1)
Installer Package, (2)
Portable Package.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings | Backup your Application Data Folder)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
