v11.00.0004 - 2012-05-03 15:56
  +++ Menu File: Added the toggle "Floating Preview" (F11), which 
      shows/hides a non-modal preview window. The size and absolute 
      screen position is stored between sessions. The window supports 
      the same keys and wheels and media types (i.e. images, and shell 
      thumbnail previews for HTML, PDF, MPEG, DWG, etc.) as the Full 
      Screen Preview, including the transparency grid for transparent 
      images. Resizing the window resizes the preview in real time.
      A small right-click menu lets you control background color (Numpad 
      -) and metadata display (Numpad *); these settings are shared with 
      the Full Screen Preview.
      Note that changing the current file in the main form will update 
      the preview, and vice versa: Wheeling through the preview (or key 
      Up/Down) will change the current file in the main form -- this way 
      only previewable files are selected.
      Later, other media types like Text and PDF might be added.
    * The Full Screen Preview now has the default keyboard shortcut 
      Shift+F11 (was F11 before).
    + Toolbar: Added button "Floating Preview" to toggle the new 
      Floating Preview. Credits for the icon go to 
      http://www.veryicon.com/icons/system/sticker-pack-2/.
    + Toolbar: Added button "Select All". Features all select commands 
      in the right-click menu.
      Credits for the icon go to http://kyo-tux.deviantart.com/.
    * Rename: If an item cannot be renamed because it was found to be 
      use the following message was popped: "The item is currently 
      opened by another application." Now, the original system message 
      is popped instead which might differ slightly from XY's message 
      and will be in the system language.
    * Smart Dropdown Buttons: Now you may pass a quoted caption in front 
      of the path spec. This can be useful when the item titles don't 
      distinguish the items, for example:
        "XY code www" G:\www\xyplorer.com\code\
        "XY code" H:\XYplorer.dev\code\
    * CKS | Miscellaneous | General Functions | Show/Hide Main Menu: The 
      setting is now remembered across sessions.

      Both Live Filter Boxes in this dialog have their own previous-
      pattern-memory.
    + Floating Preview: Now also "Zoom to Fit" (Numpad Add) is 
      supported. Zooms smaller originals to fit the preview window.

v11.00.0010 - 2012-05-07 15:22
    + Overlong Filenames: Now any number of items (file and folders) 
      with overlong filenames (> 260 characters) can be deleted in one 
      go. Before, this was possible only with one item at a time. Note 
      that these deletions are permanent, they don't go to the Recycle 
      Bin (it doesn't support overlong filenames).
    + Menu View | Folder View Settings: Added command "Restore Folder 
      View". Reverts the current folder view to the saved settings.
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "On middle-click", featuring 
      the same set of commands as "On dbl-click". Factory default is 
      Close Tab.
    + Name Search (Find Files and Branch View): Added switch "d" to 
      find only directories, analog to "f" to find only files. If both 
      "f" and "d" are present, then "f" wins.
      Examples:
        E:\Test\a\D\? /d      
        E:\Test\a\D\? /d:flat
        E:\Test\a\D\? /:flatdirs
      The last two examples yield identical results.
    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View: Added option "Multi 
      branch view lists top folders". Tick it to list the containing/top 
      level folders in a Multi Branch View as well, not just the items 
      contained in those folders. Factory default is ON.
      Since v10.80.0321 - 2012-02-26 18:07 this setting had been hatrd-
      coded to ON. Now it's configurable.

v11.00.0011 - 2012-05-08 20:10
  +++ Floating Preview: Now it supports Mouse Down Blow Up, for images 
      as well as for PDFs and other shell generated previews.
      Note that here it always uses the whole screen (ignoring the 
      setting of Configuration | Preview | Use whole screen).
      The feature is hot: If you are a photographer this must bring 
      tears to your eyes.
    % Floating and Full Preview: Doubled the load and resize speed for 
      PDFs, and increased their preview size in the Floating Preview.
    * Mouse Down Blow Up (from IP Preview and Floating Preview): Nicely 
      improved the initial position of the blow up. Now it exactly zooms 
      into the point where you downed the mouse.
      Of course, this positioning only applies if "Configuration | 
      Preview | Shrink to fit window" is OFF.
    ! Branch View: Issue with sort order when paths contained blanks. 
      Fixed.
    ! Menu Edit | New Items: Would not create new items in overlong 
      locations. Fixed.

    + Mouse Down Blow Up on Thumbnails: Now it exactly zooms into the 
      point where you downed the mouse.
      Of course, this positioning only applies if "Configuration | 
      Preview | Shrink to fit window" is OFF.
    + Floating Preview: Now also "Fit Width" (Numpad Divide, W) is 
      supported. Fit Width shrinks larger originals to fit the width of 
      the preview window. This serves to see the images that have a 
      portrait orientation in more detail. Use Mouse Down Blow Up to 
      view any cropped top and bottom parts. Fit Width is only supported 
      in the Floating Preview, not in any other preview.      
    * Miscellaneous | Tree | Optimize Tree: Radicalized and speeded up 
      the optimization, especially in Mini Tree mode.

v11.00.0013 - 2012-05-10 09:27
    + Floating Preview: Now the following right-click menu commands also 
      support simple letter keys in addition to the Numpad shortcuts:
        Fit Width (Numpad Divide, W)
        Zoom to Fit (Numpad Add, Z)
        Black Background (Numpad Subtract, B)
        Show Filename and Dimensions (Numpad Multiply, S)
      These work better on some laptops.
    + Menu File | File Special: Added command "Delete Long". Use it to 
      delete the selected Tree or List item(s) even when they have 
      overlong paths (> 260 characters). The deletion is permanent since 
      the Recycle Bin does not support items that long.
      The action is listed in the Action Log but cannot be undone.
    - Removed the Radicalized Optimize Tree experiment from v11.00.0012. 
      It did not work.

    * Image Preview: Now, when enlarging images (Zoom to Fit) by a 
      factor >= 2 then normal quality resampling is employed regardless 
      of the setting of Configuration | Preview | High quality image 
      resampling. This is done to clearly see the enlarged pixels 
      instead of the muddy blur you'd get otherwise.
    * Updated the help file.

    % Floating Preview: Rewrote "Fit Width" handling. Now it uses far 
      less resources and is faster too.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: The keyboard shortcuts now 
      trigger on KeyDown (before: KeyUp) which means you get key 
      repetition.
    ! Wipe: Extremely slow with overlong items. Fixed.

v11.00.0020 - 2012-05-12 17:26
    + Floating and Full Screen Preview: Added support for XButtons 
      (buttons 4 and 5 on a 5-button mouse, usually used for navigating 
      back and forward).
    * Image Preview: The changes in v11.00.0014 have been turned into a 
      tweak. To achieve the same effect as desribed in v11.00.0014 set 
      it to 2:
        LowQualityImageResamplingOnZoom = 2
      To always use High Quality Image Resampling on zoom leave it at 0:
        LowQualityImageResamplingOnZoom = 0
      The new factory default is 0.
    ! Wipe: Fixed a bug from v11.00.0015 that heavily slowed it down.
    ! Fit Width: Produced a minimal display distortion due to a rounding 
      error in 50% of all cases. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v11.10.0000 - 2012-05-14 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Floating Preview. A new preview pane separate from the main 
      window, supporting Mouse Down Blow Up and the transparency grid 
      for transparent images. One of the most demanded features.
  +++ Mouse Down Blow Up. Now it zooms exactly into the point where you 
      downed the mouse. A tiny change with a stunning effect and highly 
      useful for investigating details in images.
  +++ Delete Long. Fed up with "Path Too Long" errors when deleting 
      items? The new command Delete Long deletes file and folders with 
      overlong paths (> 260 characters) with ease.
