    * Multi Branch View, Multi Location Search: Now, if the tab captions 
      are not set to "Full path" in Configuration | Tabs, the tab 
      headers show an "/M" to make clear that the contents are from 
      multiple locations.
    ! Multi Branch View: Fixed a couple of glitches when dragging files 
      from an MVB, and when switching panes.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    * Network: Experimentally implemented a radically new way to 
      enumerate the servers that are listed under the Network special 
      folder in the Tree.
      Purpose is to get a more complete and probably also faster listing 
      than with the previous method.
      Note that to test this function you have to turn off Configuration 
      | Startup & Exit | Cache network servers.
      In case you prefer to stick with the previous method use this new 
      tweak:
        NetworkNetServerEnum=1
    * Menu Tools | List Management: Renamed "Servers in My Network 
      Places" to "Servers in Network Folder".
    ! Statusbar: Wrong display when servers were selected in the Tree. 
      Fixed.

    + Configuration | Advanced: Added option "Paste to selected list 
      folder". When ticked and a folder is selected in the list then 
      pasting from clipboard (Ctrl+V) goes into this folder. Also works 
      in Branch View and Search Results. Of course, the list needs to 
      have the focus.
    ! Startup: The enabling of "Configuration | Startup & Exit | No 
      network browsing on startup" was not honored on a Maxi Tree under 
      certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Mouse Down Blow Up: With "Configuration | Preview | Use whole 
      screen" enabled the blow up didn't honor custom positions and 
      sizes of the Windows Taskbar correctly. Fixed.
    ! Multi Branch View: Could not be toggled on a locked tab. Fixed.

      special folders. Fixed.

    * Toolbar | Tabsets: The Tabsets MRU list does not hold the sources 
      of clone operations anymore (format "source as: clone"). From now 
      on only the clones are listed.
      Reason: Repeating a clone operation is not important anymore since 
      we have reversible tabsets.
    * Menu Tabsets: Renamed command "Go to Tabsets Folder" to "Go to 
      Tabset Folder" and changed its function: Now it brings you to the 
      folder of the current tabset. Before it brought you to the Panes 
      subfolder of <xydata>.
    * Updated the help file.

    + New variable <get tabs [separator=CRLF]>. Returns the paths of 
      each tab of the active pane, from left to right, separated by 
      separator.
      Examples:
        echo <get tabs>;
        echo <get tabs |>;
      As always, SC get supports the same argument:
        echo get("tabs");
    * Menu File: The MRU lists of the "Move/Copy/Backup To" submenus now 
      support quoted captions. You can manually add those captions to 
      the target paths in List Management | Move/Copy/Backup To.
      Here is an example for how to add "Other Pane" to the sticky 
      section of those menus:
        "Other Pane" <get path i>
        -----> mru      
    * Menu Edit: In the Move To, Copy To, Backup To dialogs, any 
      variables in the destinations MRU are now resolved in real time; 
      the resolved item is shown in the top edit box. So you immediately 
      see where your items are going to.

    * Variable <get tabs>: Now the default separator is "|":
        <get tabs [separator="|"]>
      This is more in line with <get tree [separator="|"]>.
    + New variable <get tabs_sf [separator="|"]>. Same as <get tabs> but 
      "selected first": The path of the selected tab is returned as first 
      path. This order is better for loading a Mini Tree:
        loadtree <get tabs_sf |>;
    * Menu View | Mini Tree | Minimize Tree: Before, this command would 
      reduce the Mini Tree to just the current path. Now it reduces the 
      Mini Tree to just the paths of all tabs in the current pane.
    + SC loadtree: Enhanced the "modify" parameter by a new value "3" 
      which corresponds to the new Minimize Tree function above.
      Syntax: loadtree pathlist, [modify=0]
        [modify]: 0: [default] fresh tree from scratch
                  1: add paths to current tree
                  2: hide paths from current tree
                  3: reduce the Mini Tree to just the paths of all tabs 
                     in the current pane
      Example:
        ::loadtree "", 3; //Minimize Tree
    * Updated the help file.

    ! Branch View: Rapid switching of huge folders (e.g. drives) while a 
      Branch View with folder size display was still in progress could 
      lead to an error message and even a crash. Fixed.
    ! Branch View: Startup on a Branch View would show the app only 
      after the Branch View was completed. Fixed: Now the app is shown 
      before the Branch View list is being filled.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Download: http://www.xyplorer.com/download.htm

Code: Select all

v10.80.0000 - 2012-01-12 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Multi Branch View. Quickly view the complete contents of two or 
      more folders in one list. These folders can even be in totally 
      different locations.
  +++ Tabsets. Now "Revert to Saved" is supported. Safely play around 
      with a tabset and quickly go back to the original state.
  +++ Automatic Rich File Operations. Now, where appropriate, 
      Copy/Move/Paste operations optionally copy the source folder 
      structure as well and thus avoid collisions of the sources in the 
      target location.
  +++ Info Panel. A shiny blue button at the right end of the Status Bar 
      makes the Info Panel more accessible to mouse users.
  +++ Paste To Selected List Folder. Now you can paste items from 
      clipboard (Ctrl+V) directly into a folder shown in the file list, 
      even in Branch View and Search Results.
  +++ Minimize Tree. Reduce the folder tree to just the paths of all 
      tabs in the current pane.

    ! Menu File | Settings | Save Configuration As...: Would tolerate 
      specifying a target folder different from application data folder, 
      which is against the rules. As an undesired consequence certain 
      configuration files could have been overwritten under certain 
      conditions.
      Now you are told that you made a mistake, and the operation is 
      aborted before anything wrong happens.
    * SC tabset: Now you can reset the tabset of a pane to the default 
      tabset (whose name is automatically generated from the name of the 
      current INI file) by calling "load" without passing a name for the 
      tabset:
        tabset("load");
      This is the only way to reset the tabset of a pane to the default 
      tabset. The GUI currently does not provide this functionality.
      The tooltip of the Tabsets toolbar button now shows whether the 
      tabsets are default or not.
      FYI, the difference between a default soft-named tabset and a 
      user-chosen hard-named tabset surfaces in the moment you use "Save 
      Configuration As..." AND have ticked "Configuration | Startup & 
      Exit | Keep pane data private". The tabset data will then be 
      copied to a folder corresponding to the new INI file name and that 
      folder will be used as tabset data folder further on.
      So for most users it won't matter much, but for some it might turn 
      out useful.
    * Action Log: Now shows "Delete (Permanent)" or "Delete (Recycler)" 
      depending on the operation. Before "Delete" was shown in both cases.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

    + Configuration | Extended: Added option "Confirm copy and move 
      operations". Tick it to get a confirmation prompt before any move, 
      copy, or backup operation, be it from clipboard, drag and drop, or 
      other means.
      This setting includes and supersedes "Confirm drag and drop" whose 
      setting is ignored when "Confirm copy and move operations" is 
      ticked. If both are ticked then the "Drop Now?" prompt takes over 
      in case of a left mouse drop, and no further prompt is invoked.
    * Configuration | Extended: New section "Safety Belts", along with a 
      little reorganization.
    * SC incr: Now the current value of the variable to be incremented 
      variable is shown directly in the Step Mode dialog.
    ! Title Bar template parsing got a little hickup when it contained 
      weird things like "<>". Fixed.
    ! Some Tags related dialogs and the Shell Wait dialog were too 
      narrow on non-standard display settings. Fixed.

v10.80.0010 - 2012-01-23 17:50
    + Scripting: Now $i++/$i-- returns the incremented/decremented value 
      and thus can be used as an argument in functions. The value is 
      incremented/decremented *before* it is passed to the function.
      Example 1:
        $list = "a,b,c";
          $i = 0;
          while ($i < 3) {
            echo gettoken($list, $i++, ",");  //"a", "b", "c"
          }
      Example 2:
        echo $i++; echo $i++; echo $i++;  //"1", "2", "3"
      Example 3:
        echo $i++ . $i++ . $i++;  //"123"
    * Scripting: Experimentally made the HereDoc syntax a bit more 
      tolerant.
      BEFORE: The closing identifier must begin in the *first* column of 
      the line (no indent!). The line with the closing identifier must 
      contain no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;) 
      directly after the identifier.
      NOW: The closing identifier can be preceded by any number of 
      spaces (i.e. indented) and be followed by any number and kind of 
      other characters.
      
      Example:
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        $isOk = Confirm (<<<FOO
        Blah
        Blah
        Blah
          FOO); echo $isOk;
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
    * Configuration | Extended: Renamed "Single click on icon opens 
      items in list" to "Single click on icon opens list items". It's 
      less ambiguous.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

  *** Tabs: Now also the tab headers share the main font and font size 
      (as defined in Configuration | Fonts | Main Contents). Another 
      milestone in accessibility.
      FYI, the font size can be quickly adjusted by Ctrl+Wheel.       
    * Configuration | Fonts: Renamed "Tree and List" to "Main Contents", 
      and "General" to "Buttons and Labels", and swapped their position.
    * Find Tabs: Drag and drop to find tabs is now allowed. If the load 
      is not directly dropped onto a listed folder it is dropped to the 
      original search path.
    * Scripting | HereDoc: Now the closing identifier can be anywhere, 
      its position is unimportant and does not have to start on a new 
      line or constitute a separate line.
      For example:
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        echo <<<FOO
        Blah!
        BlahFOO . "!";  //Blah!Blah!
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
    + Scripting | HereDoc: Since the new rules regarding the closing 
      identifier would break old user code, a tweak has been added to 
      enable the new behavior:
        ScriptHereDocEndsAnywhere=1
