v11.30.0001 - 2012-06-06 12:48
+ Configuration | Thumbnails: Added "Use Thumbnails View Backcolor",
a way to have a special customizable background color just for
thumbnails views.
Notes:
- The color is only applied to the active pane.
- The color overwrites Configuration | Colors & Styles | Mirror
tree box color in file list.
! Info Panel | Meta: Did not work correctly on drive roots. Fixed.

v11.30.0002 - 2012-06-06 22:10
+ Configuration | Thumbnails: Added Padding, a new way to customize
the distance between thumbnails.
Note that depending on the thumbs Style some minimal padding is
internally hard-coded and silently ensured. Only style "Plain"
allows effectively zero padding.
- The command View | Columns | Shrink Name Column (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad
Subtract) from now on does not affect the thumbnails horizontal
space anymore.
* Configuration | Thumbnails: Renamed "Number of caption lines" to
"Caption lines".
Code: Select all
v11.30.0003 - 2012-06-08 15:03
% Thumbnails: Now the icons of items without thumbnails are shown in
48x48 (XP and later only).
! Mouse Down Blow Up: Zoom in did not work correctly in view
"Details with Thumbnails". Fixed.

v11.30.0004 - 2012-06-09 12:02
* Tried something to load the shell context menu on some Win7
systems faster.
! Configuration | Extended | Confirm drag and drop: Did also prompt
for confirmation when dragging from archives or other applications
into XYplorer. Which it was not meant to do. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v11.30.0005 - 2012-06-10 12:20
+ Custom Event Actions (CEA): Added another custom event, "Middle-
click on a file in the list" (currently only as a tweak).
[Settings]
CEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile=0
You can currently choose between the following actions:
0 = Default action (factory default)
1 = Go to File in New Tab
2 = Show File in Floating Preview
3 = Show File in Full Screen Preview
(any other value) = Do nothing
Note that if set to 0 the behavior is controlled by Configuration
| Extended | Middle-click goes to file in new tab (this option
will become obsolete once CEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile is elevated
from tweak status).
* Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now middle-click closes the
preview.
! Configuration | Preview | Mouse down blow up | With border: Did
not hide the border in MDBU on Preview when "Shrink to fit" was
ticked. Fixed.
* Menu Edit | Select | Select Items...: Now any non-printable
characters (that might have been pasted from clipboard) are
silently removed from the input.
* Updated the help file.

v11.30.0007 - 2012-06-11 13:55
% Improved the experience of deleting huge numbers of items >
100,000. Should be faster and smoother now. Smaller jobs should
feel more snappy as well.
* Menu Edit | Select | Restore Selection: This service had to be
limited somewhat to avoid extreme memory waste with huge lists. An
arbitrary maximum has been set to 4096 selected items. Larger
selections cannot be restored.
Code: Select all
v11.30.0008 - 2012-06-11 22:07
% Improved the experience of deleting huge numbers of items ( >
100,000), #2.
* List: Since v8.00.0002 (2009-06-20 14:25) any number of individual
selections were retained between tab switches. This, however,
leads to problems (long delays, freeze, out of memory errors) on
huge lists. Therefore a limit has been reintroduced: Now no more
than 4096 individual selections are retained between tab switches.
* Undo: Also the action log needs to be limited to avoid problems
(long delays, freeze, out of memory errors). From now on only
actions with 32767 or less items involved are stored in the action
log and can be undone.
Code: Select all
v11.30.0010 - 2012-06-12 11:43
* List: Changed the strategy applied in v11.30.0008. Now, to improve
handling huge lists the selections are not stored anymore (neither
for tab switch nor for Restore Selection) in lists larger than
32767 items.
Such a "huge list" is now marked by having the total count in the
Status Bar colored red.
On top of this no more than 4096 individual selections are
retained between tab switches or by Restore Selection.
Code: Select all
v11.30.0101 - 2012-06-14 14:28
+ Configuration | General: Added option "Show sort headers in all
views". Tick it to have sort headers (column headers) also in non-
Details view, e.g. in Thumbnails.
Note that in views "Small Icons" and "List" you can modify the
column width by resizing the Name column header.
FYI, Windows Explorer in Vista had sort headers in all views but
for unknown reasons Microsoft removed this feature in Windows 7.
Now, XYplorer brings it back to Windows 7 and to all other Windows
versions.
! Floating Preview: Crash was possible when changing the folder
while the preview was up. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v11.30.0102 - 2012-06-15 15:06
+ Configuration | Thumbnails: Added option "Show caption". Tick it
(factory default) to show captions (= filenames) below the
thumbnails.
Note: When "Show caption" is disabled then no inline-rename is
possible in the file list.
% Image Preview: Improved display quality by applying better
interpolation algorithms. Applies to all previews (Preview Tab,
Floating Preview, Full Screen Preview).
* List: Now, when you right-click the "Line Numbers" (display as "#"
in Details view, empty in other Views) column header, the "Sort
By" menu is popped. Before, the "Columns" menu was popped (which
you still can easily reach by right-clicking the "Name" column
header).
! List: With "Show sort headers in all views" enabled there was a
possible drawing glitch when scrolling thumbnails. Also a
horizontal scrollbar could appear when the column headers were
wider than the list. Both fixed.
