Hey, I could not resist to add this extremely valuable feature before summer.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v5.00.0045, 11-jul-2006).

Code: Select all

v5.00.0046 - 11.07.06 11:31
  +++ Menu View/Tab: added checkable item "Lock Home Zone". First you 
      have to define a home, then you may lock your tab to the Home Zone, 
      which includes the home path and all its subfolders (in other 
      words, the home branch). You can freely move inside the home zone 
      and stay inside the tab, but if you browse to a destination 
      outside the home zone, the tab stays where it is and a new tab 
      will be automatically opened.
      Home-zoned tabs are recognizable by a dotted underline.
      
      And now's summer-time, bye! :)

    + Now you can restore the connection of any mapped network drives 
      that are currently unconnected (may happen after booting up) by 
      simply refreshing the tree (F4). Works for NT/2K/XP only.
    * Statusbar: on searching, the currently searched folder now is 
      drawn path-elliptic (with "..." dots somewhere in the middle), so 
      that you can actually read the scanned subfolder.

v5.00.0051 - 18.07.06 12:23
    ! Catalog: You could not move an item to the last category if it was 
      an empty one. Fixed.
    ! Start up: Issues with certain combinations of configuration values 
      concerning control and window dimensions. Fixed.
    ! List view: When changing the main content font (menu 
      View/Font/Tree...) in thumbnails view mode all the captions would 
      disappear. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v5.00.0052 - 18.07.06 17:45
    ! Menu Help/User Forum (Online)...: outdated link. Fixed.
    ! List view: crash if deleting all items in a folder when vertical 
      scrollbar is visible and top index is > 1, i.e. if the list is 
      scrolled down at least one line. Fixed.
    ! Catalog: after OK-ing the Item Properties dialog once the OK flag 
      was not properly reset leading to surprising behavior after 
      Canceling any subsequent Item Properties dialog via the red-cross 
      title bar button. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v5.00.0054 - 19.07.06 09:43
    + Toolbar: added button "New Folder" (Ctrl+N). A little reminder:
      - The new folder's default name is defined and editable in this
        INI key:
          [NewTemplates] 
          Folder0=\N\e\w \F\o\l\d\e\r
      - The new folder's default name's numerical suffix is defined and 
        editable in this INI key:
          [General] 
          PostfixNum=-00 
    ! Pressing Ctrl+N (create new folder) in MyComputer (drives listing) 
      would crash XY. Fixed.
    * Catalog context menu: changed two captions:
      - Old: Add Current Folder Here
        New: Add Selected Tree Item Here
      - Old: Add Current List Item Here
        New: Add Selected List Item(s) Here
      And in the latter case, the functionality obviously changed too: 
      now you can add multiple items at once (you could do this before 
      already by drag'n'drop). 
    ! Win2K, since 5 days ago: Updating network resources would raise 
      "Run-time error '453' can't find dll entry point IsNetDrive in 
      shell32". Reason: Contrary to the official docs IsNetDrive is 
      *not* available in Win2K. Fixed: Now only XP uses IsNetDrive.

v5.00.0055 - 20.07.06 10:24
    * Menu Edit: reorganized some items into new submenu "Paste Special".
  +++ Menu Edit/Paste Special: added "Paste Here To New Subfolder...". 
      Lets you paste any files currently found in the clipboard to a newly 
      created subfolder of the current folder (the one that's displayed in 
      the main title bar).
      Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V.
      Very nice feature. In fact, I'd say: Once again pioneering file 
      manager XYplorer delivers an innovative friction-lessening high-
      efficiency solution that skyrockets the art of file management into 
      yet another orbit of usability!
    * Menu Edit/Paste Special: renamed
        "Paste (Move)" to "Paste As Cut"
        "Paste (Copy)" to "Paste As Copy"
      By these commands you can Cut & Paste or Copy & Paste clipboard 
      contents independent of the way (Cut or Copy) those contents have 
      been sent to the clipboard in the first place.            
    * Renamed menu View/Show Columns/Adjust All Column Widths
      to "Autosize Columns". It's shorter ;)
    ! Catalog: pasting from Clipboard into Catalog using Ctrl+V did 
      actually paste into the current tree location. Fixed: now it pastes 
      into the selected catalog item's location (if it is a valid target).
    + Now Ctrl+Shift+V ("Paste Here To New Subfolder...") works in the 
      Catalog, too, if the selected item is a valid target.
    + Catalog: to select an item without further action use Alt+Click.

Code: Select all

v5.00.0057 - 21.07.06 10:52
    + Menu Edit/Paste Special: added "Edit Clipboard...". Allows you to 
      view what's currently sitting in the clipboard and to manually edit 
      it. Cool, if you ask me.
      The identical interface can be invoked via menu Tools/List 
      Management/Files on Clipboard...
      Note: if the clipboard is empty and you manually add items, a 
      later Paste defaults to Copy.
    * Menu View/List Style: renamed "Column Width Auto-Adjustment" to 
      "Autosize Columns".
    * Menu Edit/Paste Special: undid this rename from v5.00.0055
        "Paste (Move)" to "Paste As Cut"
        "Paste (Copy)" to "Paste As Copy"
    + Catalog, context menu: "Add New Category Here..." now immediately 
      creates a "New Category" item and pops up the properties dialog. 
      "New Category" is auto-removed if Properties dialog is immediately 
      canceled.

    + Configuration, Thumbnails: now you can edit all three thumbnail 
      size templates.
    + Toolbar: added button "Toggle Thumbnails". Toggles view of 
      current tab between Details and Thumbnails 1.

Code: Select all

v5.00.0062 - 22.07.06 12:11
    + Menu View/Views: added command "Toggle Details/Thumbnails 1". 
      Function identical to the toolbar button.
    ! Configuration/Advanced: if you checked both "Use generic icons for 
      faster browsing" and "But only in network locations" then, after 
      switching back from a network to a local location, the icons kept 
      being generic. Fixed.
    + Configuration/Advanced: added option to "Suspend refresh during 
      file operations". The corresponding INI key (NoWatchDuringFileOp) 
      has been already existing since v4.20.0046 as a hidden feature, 
      i.e. without interface.
      If you activate this option then auto-refresh is suspended while 
      file operations are going on. Reason: consecutive refresh 
      activities do slow down the file operation itself. This is notable 
      especially when moving many items and many bytes.

v5.00.0063 - 23.07.06 12:58
    + Menu View/Tab/Set Visual Filter...: if currently no filter is 
      active the globally last used filter is now preselected in the 
      dialog. (Per-tab last filters will be treated next time...)
    + Configuration/Previewed Formats: now you can choose which font 
      formats you (don't) want to preview.
    + Here's a new INI file trick (hidden feature; no config interface):
        [Settings]
        PopupFullFavMenu=1
      If PopupFullFavMenu=1 then the full Favorites menu is popped up on 
      a right-click in the tree's white space. Else (default) you only 
      get the "Favorite Folders" submenu.
      This feature is tributed to jacky ;)
    * Menu Favorites/Special System Folders: "Desktop" and "My 
      Documents" now point to the *real* paths, for example:
        C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Desktop
      and not to the Special Tree nodes under MyComputer like:
        Desktop

    + Info Panel/Find Files/Name & Location: added a Browse button to 
      the Location field.
    + Info Panel/Find Files/Excluded Folders: added a Browse button here 
      as well.
    - Info Panel/Find Files/Name & Location: removed the "Boolean Logic" 
      checkbox because it was superfluous and confusing. To mark a search 
      term as Boolean expression, i.e. as containing Boolean operators 
      like "not", "and", "or", "&", "|", simply prefix it with a colon 
      (":").
    * Menu Window/Show Tree: removed shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F4.
    * Menu View/Refresh Folder:
      - Added shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F4.
      - Renamed it to "Refresh Current Folder".
    ! Info Panel/Find Files/Date: crash when using "1d20h" or other 
      strings containing "d" followed by a larger number in the and/add 
      field. It's not a legal entry but I fixed it anyway.

    * Updated the help file.
    * Menu View, swapped these shortcuts:
        Refresh Current Folder ->   Shortcut: Shift+F4
        Rebuild Tree ->             Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+F4
      Because the more radical operation should have the more difficult 
      shortcut.
      Also swapped the positions.
    * Catalog: files using the file:/// protocol now display their 
      proper icon, not the default URL (Internet Explorer Document) icon.

v5.00.0066 - 26.07.06 09:56
    + Preview: added DVD (*.vob) and HDTV (*.ts) files to preview.
    + List view: clicking on the white space does not unselect all if 
      Ctrl or Shift is pressed at the same time.
    * Tree view: if "Expand destination node in tree" 
      (Configuration/General) is active, now nodes are also auto-expanded 
      if they have been "browsed" (expanded and collapsed) already!
      You tell me if that change was a good idea...
    ! Menu Go/Go to...: shortcut Ctrl+G did not work when focus was not 
      on Tree or List. Fixed.
    * Changed the order in which items are copied to clipboard according 
      to how Explorer appears to do it:
      - First get selected items from focused item to bottom of list.
      - Then get selected items from top of list to focused item - 1.
      The result of this is strategy is that (a) the focused item is 
      always at the top position of the clipboard contents, and (b) the 
      original order of items is disturbed as least as possible.
      A later paste will operate in that order.

v5.00.0067 - 27.07.06 13:00
  *** Experimentally changed the sorting algorithm: now folders are 
      always (independently of the sort order and column) kept at the top of 
      the list. If successful it will be configurable later...
      Note:
      - Currently the above works only if "Natural numeric sort order" 
        is OFF.
      - "Sort folders apart" has currently no effect (it's always ON).      
    + Menu Favorites/Special System Folders: added some "All users" 
      (aka "Common") locations.
    + Tabs: added another anti-tab-proliferation (aka tab gun) 
      measurement. If the current tab is locked and no other tab with 
      exactly the targeted destination location exists, now XY looks for 
      a home zoned tab where this destination would fit. Only if this 
      ain't found either, a new tab is auto-opened.
      Looking for tabs is always left to right.
