v13.30.0101 - 2013-11-20 12:50
    + New variable <get driveletter [drivename] [path]> returns the 
      first drive letter matching the given drivename (aka volume 
      label). An optional path parameter can be used to format the 
      returned string.
      Syntax: <get driveletter [drivename] [path]>
        drivename:  Drive name (defaults to the current path).
        path:       Any path with a drive letter, or a "?" in the place 
                    of the drive letter. If the function finds a 
                    matching drive letter then it will replace the drive 
                    letter in [path] with it and return the new path.
        return:     The drive letter, or the path with the drive letter.
                    If no matching drive letter is found nothing is 
                    returned.
      Examples (drive F:\ is named "Fun"):
        echo <get driveletter>; //E (if E:\ is current drive)
        echo <get driveletter "Fun">; //F
        echo <get driveletter "Fun" "?:\">; //F:\
        echo <get driveletter "Fun" "X:\">; //F:\
        echo <get driveletter "Fun" "C:\Windows">; //F:\Windows
      Or as a function:
        echo get("driveletter", "Fun", "C:\Windows"); //F:\Windows
      
      Usage:
      This variable allows you to refer to drives via their name which 
      can be very useful when you have no control or knowledge about how 
      the host system assigns the drive letters. Compare the usual hard 
      and the new soft approach to referring to a file:
        open "E:\Test\Edit.txt";  //hard drive letter
        open get("driveletter", "Fun", "?:\Test\Edit.txt"); //soft drive letter
    + SC get got a new named argument "list_recentlyopenedfiles".
      Syntax: get("list_recentlyopenedfiles", [separator=CRLF])
        [separator]:  String to place between items.
                      Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        return:       List of recently opened files (as used in menu 
                      File | Open...).
      Examples:
        text get("list_recentlyopenedfiles");
        goto inputselect("Goto to any of the Recently Opened Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);
        open inputselect("Open any of the Recently Opened Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);

v13.30.0102 - 2013-11-20 21:02
    ! Menu File | File Special | Delete (Skip Locked): Did not recognize 
      locked files as "Locked" under Vista and later since a while ago. 
      Fixed.
    ! List: The Type column got confused with files starting with a dot. 
      Fixed by removing a recent change (see here below).
    - The following attempt from v13.10.0101 - 2013-10-15 18:46 lead to 
      more problems than it solved. Undid the change:
      ! SC zip_add: Race condition: Sometimes the created ZIP would be 
        shown in the list before the copying process was completed. You 
        could even open it in that unfinished state and then see only 
        parts of the expected files contained. After a while the ZIP would 
        be completely filled. Fixed: Now the ZIP is only shown when the 
        process is completed.
    - Removed the following change from v13.10.0150 - 2013-10-30 17:49:
      * List: Before, file like ".htaccess" would show "htaccess" in the 
        extension column. Now, the extension column is empty because 
        "htaccess" is not the extension of such files.
      Reason: It does not confirm to the Windows standards. Windows 
      clearly sees a file called ".txt" as a Text File. So the extension 
      of ".htaccess" IS "htaccess".

    * Tweak PreviewMaxArea: Now, in Info Panel | Preview, you get a 
      "Preview Now" button on images that are larger than the max area. 
      Kind of a second chance.
    * Configuration | Styles | Focus rectangle: Now with Visual Themes 
      enabled (Vista and later) this setting is totally ignored and the 
      focused-but-not-selected item is drawn in themes style (which 
      usually is not a dotted line some other sort of line).

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

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

Code: Select all

v13.40.0000 - 2013-11-25 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder View Settings with Visual Filters. Your favorite folders 
      contain more than you are interested in? Now you can make them 
      remember individually which files you usually want to see. For 
      example, only images, only big files, only files modified this 
      week, etc. Visual Filters are very powerful and now they can be 
      combined with Folder View Settings.
      This revolutionary feature is likely to change your everyday file 
      management experience: It makes it easier.

v13.40.0001 - 2013-11-27 18:57
  +++ Mini Tree: Sensationally and experimentally the final missing 
      piece to total perfection has been added to the Mini Tree on a 
      single, cold, and sunny Cologne afternoon. Now you can select any 
      child folder of a visible node without opening the node! Simply 
      right-click the PlusMinus icon in front of the node to pop a list 
      of all child folders.
      Notes:
      - Child folders that are not yet present in the Mini Tree are 
        colored with "Marked Text 2" color in the popup.
      - Right-click the same PlusMinus icon again to hide the popup.
      - Works also in the Maxi Tree, but of course it's less interesting 
        there.    
    + SC GetTokenIndex enhanced: Added flag to count the occurences of a 
      certain token in a token list.
      Action: Returns the first index of a token in a token list, or the 
              count of its occurences.
      Syntax: gettokenindex(token, tokenlist, [separator=|], [flags=iw]);
        token:      token to find in list of tokens
        tokenlist:  list of tokens
        separator:  separator used in list of tokens
        flags:
          i = Matching is case insensitive (A==a).
          w = Token has wildcards.
              If missing then token is treated literally.
              If included and token does not contain wildcards treat it 
              as *token*.
          c = Return count the occurences.
        returns:
            0 = If token was not found in the list.
            Otherwise return the first index (from left) of the token 
            within the list (1 = first position).
            On flag c: Count the occurences.
      Examples:
        echo gettokenindex("xls*", "docx|doc|xlsx|xls", , "w");   //3 (index)
        echo gettokenindex("xls*", "docx|doc|xlsx|xls", , "wc");  //2 (count)
    ! FVSVF: Fixed some glitches.

    * Crumbs: Now you cannot select an item from the dropdown by right 
      button anymore. Instead you now get a minimal right-click menu 
      with copy functions. Rather a proof of concept. More interesting 
      stuff is possible later.
    ! Tree Node Crumbs: Did not respect a Locked Tree. Fixed.
    ! Tree Node Crumbs: Fixed some glitches and improved the dropdown 
      positioning when space is scarce.
    ! Custom Move: "Preserve Item Dates" did not preserve folders' 
      modified times on cross-volume moves for folders that contained 
      files. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0044.

    + Fuzzy Favorites: Now Favorite Folders and Favorite Files support 
      wildcards (* and ?). You can manually add those wildcards via List 
      Management.
      The *first* match will be used, and what's "first" is determined 
      by the system default order (since XP, items are by default 
      alphabetically ordered, but with slight differences to the order 
      usually presented by file managers -- XYplorer can show this order 
      when you select "Unsorted").
      Example from my XP system:
        Fuzzy Favorite        Resolved to
        C:\*.log          ->  C:\RobotError.log
        C:\REC*\          ->  C:\RECYCLER\
    + Tweak TabWidthMin: Lets you control the minimal width of tabs. 
      Example:
        TabWidthMin=80
      If set to 0 then no custom minimal width is applied, but an 
      internally hard-coded value is used.
    ! SC property: Under certain circumstances the result could not be 
      up-to-date due to a stale cache. Fixed.

    * Fuzzy Favorites: From now only "*" is supported as wildcard. 
      Favorites containing a "?" are interpreted as Quick Name Searches 
      or portable favorites (?:\...). 
    ! Favorites Files: After selecting a favorite file the selections in 
      the list were not updated when the parent folder was the current 
      folder. Fixed.
