!!! Fixed the bloody bug that made this day unforgettable. Fundamental
things have changed:
- XYplorer now runs on systems *without* GDIplus installed!
- XYplorer now runs on Win95! (sic)
- XYplorer uses even less memory than before!
This is work in progress and some little things still have to be
taken care of. For example, when you preview a JPEG or PNG or TIFF
image and you do NOT have GDIplus installed, the app will crash.
This is easy to fix and will be done tomorrow.

%%% Configuration|Thumbnails: added option "Superfast thumbnail
creation (at slightly lesser quality; needs GDI+ installed)".
Some folks complained about slow thumbnail creation in XYplorer.
Well, check this box to have it run up to 50 (!!) times faster.
The price you pay is that the quality of the thumbnails is only as
poor as Explorer's. You choose...
+ Configuration|Thumbnails: changed label from "Maximum area of
original images in square pixels" to "Don't extract thumbnails of
images larger than this (in square pixels)". I think it is clearer
like this.
+ Since XYplorer's dependency on GDIplus.dll has been removed,
you'll get the following message when trying to preview an image
that only GDIplus can handle and you have not installed GDIplus on
your system:
"GDIplus must be installed to preview this file type."
This concerns only two image types: *.png and *.tif.

v5.20.0019 - 07.10.06 12:24
+ Dropping items from Outlook/Outlook Express:
(a) If you drag several messages at once, and any of them happen to
have the same name, the names are differentiated by a suffixed
auto-incremented number (format defined in INI at key PostfixNum).
(b) You are prompted if a file by the same name already exists in
the destination of the file being copied.
Note the two-step process: first the items are created in a
temporary folder (taking care that they all have different names),
then they are moved from there to their final destination (after
which the temporary folder is deleted).
(c) Now you can drop messages also on the tree.
* Super-fast thumbnail creation: removed *.gif files from the super-
fast routine. Reasons:
- Transparent GIF files were printed on black background instead
of list view background color (did not find a good way to change
this).
- GIF files are usually rather small, hence fast.
- So you get high quality GIF thumbnails at a very low price.
+ Menu File: added command "Save Here As..." (Ctrl+S). It's just a
menu interface to the already working Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut:
makes a copy of the focused tree or list item (file or folder),
using the new name you enter.
It works identical to "Copy Here As..." in the drop context menu.
+ Preview tab: added the following file types to "Web & Office
preview" (i.e. files viewed through IE):
*.txt *.log *.eml *.msg
Nice thing about it: now you can select text char-wise with the
mouse. In Raw View selection works only line-wise.
Note that *.eml and *.msg files are actually interpreted and shown
as if viewed through your mail client. Quite nice...

v5.20.0022 - 08.10.06 11:40
+++ Added Drop-Text-To-File, yet another revolutionary XYplorer-only
feature. Now you can drag & drop a text chunk onto Tree and List,
where it will be automatically converted into a *.txt-file called
something like "DroppedText-20061007.txt". The "-20061007" part is
the date now (format defined in INI at key PostfixDate). After
creation of the file, rename-mode is invoked. Try it, for example,
with your web browser. Select a piece of text on a web page and
drag it onto XYplorer...
- Removed feature (v5.00.0020 - 10.06.06 10:06): "Now you can create
internet shortcuts by dropping URLs onto the file list."
Reason: potential conflicts/confusion with the above Drop-Text-To-
File feature.
* Dropping items from Outlook/Outlook Express: If dropping exactly
one item it will be suffixed with an auto-incremented number if a
file of the same name already exists in the target destination. So,
contrary to Explorer and to dropping more than one item at once, you
will not get the "overwrite-or-cancel" dialog.
>>> Tips: since the recent enhancements in droppability you can do
some pretty amazing things, for example:
- You can drag-drop selected text bits from XYplorer's own Web and
Office preview!
- You can drag-drop selected text bits from PDF documents and they
will be saved as "Untitled[-##].rtf"!
- You can even drag-drop selected image bits (details of embedded
images) from PDF documents and they will be saved as a BMP named
to the full path/file of the source file!
- You always could drag-drop images directly from web pages (I
just remind you here).
+ Preview tab: added the following file type to "Web & Office
preview" (i.e. files viewed through IE):
*.zip
Believe or not, yes, XYplorer now can preview zip archives by
abusing IE's power to do so. It's not extremely comfortable: you
can't drag-extract from there, settings are not remembered... but
hey, at least you can now see the contents of an archive.
+ Win95 compatibility: I fixed some minor issues with Win95 and it
seems to work quite well now in the previous millenium's
environment. I won't officially recommend or promote it though,
since I did not thoroughly test everything under Win95. At least
you know: if you happen to get thrown back that far by some time
machine, XYplorer is with you even then.
% Super-fast thumbnail creation again 10-20% faster depending on
images sizes (smaller images are now faster due to reduced
overhead).

! Searching servers did not work (nothing was ever found!). Fixed.
! Since 20060801 tabs header tooltips did not show the tab's
location anymore if the tab was renamed. Fixed.
* Select-On-Paste (List view): if pasted items are selected --
remember that Select-On-Paste only happens when there were no
selections previously -- the focus is now automatically moved to the
topmost pasted item.
- Preview tab: removed *.zip from previewed "Web & Office preview"
(i.e. files viewed through IE). Reason: the limited possibilities
were not satisfying. I'll rather a real zip handling later.
* Several improvements in handling MouseDownBlowUp on thumbnails.
- On a left-click on the thumbnail itself (not the caption), the
image is loaded (but not selected) only if mouse is still down
after a 150ms delay. A quicker click will instead not start the
loading but select the image. Tricky to implement I can tell.
On right-clicking the thumbnail (MouseDownBlowUpStayUp), the
image loads at once, just as it has always been.
- No more flicker when mouse is not down anymore after loading.
- Now, repeated MouseDownBlowUpStayUp (per right-click) in
seamless succession is possible.

+ Drop-Text-To-File: now you can drop text onto Catalog items, too.
+ Drop-Text-To-File: now you can drop text onto Tab headers, too.
! MouseDownBlowUp while thumbsnails still being created lead to
irreversible logic confusion of XY's brain. Fixed: you can't do
that anymore.
! Recursive auto-refresh when parent folder of current folder is
deleted by another process. Fixed.
! Move/Copy/Backup To non-existing paths failed creating new UNC
paths. Fixed.
