Code: Select all

v13.40.0101 - 2013-12-05 14:39
    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Visual Filters: Added 
      option "Show filter information in tab headers". So now this very 
      old feature became optional and you can turn it off. Since the 
      filter information can be shown in the list it's not that 
      necessary anymore to have it in the tab headers as well where it 
      easily takes away precious space.
      The factory default is OFF (but it will be turned on for upgraders 
      for continuity).
    ! Icon Overlays: Were not shown for drives in the Tree. Fixed.
    ! Icon Overlays: Were not updated in the Mini Tree when the setting 
      of "Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Show icon 
      overlays" was changed. Fixed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    * Search Templates: From now you cannot store any Quick Name 
      Searches anymore. Reason: This never really worked since Search 
      Templates only cares about the data in the Find Files tab. It's 
      simply not made for QNS.
    * Search Templates: From now you cannot cache the results of any 
      visually filtered searches anymore. Reason: The filter is not 
      stored along with the template so when loading the Search 
      Templates you have no way to find out by what the data had been 
      filtered.
    ! Search Templates: When loading a cached search results list into a 
      visually filtered tab the filter as not removed from the GUI 
      (although it was not applied either). Fixed.
    ! Icon Overlays: Were not shown for drives in the Tree. Fixed #2.    
    ! Visual Filters: Tab icon overlay for VF was not auto-refreshing 
      since v13.40.0101. Fixed.
    ! SC tab: Using ::tab("rename", "xyz") on a search results tab 
      destroyed the search results icon. Fixed.

    ! Quick Name Search: Did not work alright when a Fuzzy search had 
      been performed right before because something was not reset. Fixed.
    ! SC formatdate: Did not support passing fractions of seconds. 
      Fixed. Now this works as expected and returns "1999-12-12 23:59:58.9999999":
        text formatdate("1999-12-12 23:59:59.9999999", "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss.fffffff", "s", -1);
    ! Custom Copy: "Preserve Item Dates" apparently did not preserve 
      folders' accessed times on some systems under certain conditions. 
      Attempt to fix.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0045.
    ! Search Templates: Disabled "Save search results" checkbox could be 
      in ticked state and hence untickable. Fixed.
    ! Animated GIFs in Floating Preview: FP would sometimes get key 
      input although not the foreground window. Fixed.

      switching the menu style ("Colored" to "Custom"). This also 
      affected the Tree Node Crumb popup. Fixed.

v13.40.0201 - 2013-12-10 20:41
    + TeraCopy Integration: Currently only as three tweaks, soon 
      elevated to GUI.
      Prerequisites:
      - Of course, you need TeraCopy installed on your system.
      - "Configuration | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use 
        Custom Copy" has to be enabled.
      Tweaks:
      - Set to 1 to use TeraCopy instead of Custom Copy:
          UseTeraCopy=1
      - State the full path to the TeraCopy exectuable. For example:
          TeraCopyPath=C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\teracopy.exe
      - State any TeraCopy switches (cf TeraCopy online documentation). 
        Whatever you state here will be appended to the command line, 
        separated from it by one space. For example:
          TeraCopySwitches=/RenameAll
      Note that integration is very good (whenever anything is copied or 
      moved then TeraCopy will be used for it), but there are a few 
      exceptions:
      - No Rich Copy. In a Rich Copy situation Custom Copy will be 
        automatically used instead of TeraCopy.
        Reason: You cannot state multiple destinations in TeraCopy (one 
        individual destination for each source file).
      - No undo.
      - No queueing.
      - No background processing via XYcopy (TeraCopy is another process anyway).
      - No reports.
      - No verification.
    ! Search Templates: When loading a cached search results list into a 
      visually filtered tab the filter as not removed from the GUI 
      (although it was not applied either). Fixed #2.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

v13.40.0204 - 2013-12-11 20:25
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: Copier
      Action: Defines a 3rd party program to handle copy and move operations.
      Syntax: copier [definition]
        definition: Defines the program to use and how.
          General syntax: Caption|Executable|Switches
          - The Caption has to be either TeraCopy or FastCopy.
          - The Executable has to be the full path to the executable.
          - The Switches are optional. Look them up in the documentation 
            of the copier.
          Set to nothing to use XYplorer's Custom Copy.
      Remarks:
      - "Configuration | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use 
        Custom Copy" has to be enabled, else Shell Copy is used.
      - Of course, you need the 3rd party program installed on your 
        system.
      - Currently only TeraCopy and FastCopy are supported.
      - When copying with FastCopy the mode "diff" (copy only if size or 
        date are different) is used which is the default for FastCopy 
        (see FastCopy documentation).
      - The copiers are auto-elevated if necessary when copying to UAC-
        protected locations. You don't need to define any 
        "CustomCopyBlacklist.dat" for this. Actually, you should remove 
        "CustomCopyBlacklist.dat" if you plan to use copiers because 
        locations listed in this file will be handled by shell copy and 
        thus never reach the copiers.         
      Examples:
        copier "TeraCopy|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/RenameAll";
        copier "FastCopy|C:\Program Files\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close";
        copier; //back to Custom Copy
    * Toolbar | Use Custom Copy: The tooltip now displays the name of 
      the current Copier.
    - Removed the TeraCopy tweaks from v13.40.0201.

    + Scripting: Now the icon specification in a multi-script resource 
      support permanent global variables. For example:
        "TeraCopy|$PathToTeraCopy"
          Msg "Hi!";
        "FastCopy|$PathToFastCopy"
          Msg "Hi!";
      The above will work if something like the following has been 
      previously done:
        perm $PathToTeraCopy = "C:\Programme\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe";
        perm $PathToFastCopy = "C:\Programme\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe";
    * Copier: Now the specification of the path to the executable 
      supports full portability, and you can use all kinds of XY native 
      and environment variables.
      For example (in INI file):
        Copier=FastCopy|%ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close
      For example as script (single quotes to suppress on-the-fly 
      resolving of variables):  
        copier 'FastCopy|%ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close';
    * Toolbar | Configuration: New icon.
      Credits for the icon go to http://www.everaldo.com.

    * SC Copier: Now the caption can be freely extended, as long as it 
      starts with "FastCopy" or "TeraCopy". So you can do something like 
      this:
        copier 'FastCopy (AutoClose)|%ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close';
        copier 'FastCopy (Verify)|%ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/verify';
      This caption is shown in the tooltip of Toolbar | Use Custom Copy, 
      so you can easily see which kind of copy handler is enabled.
    * SC Copier: Now you can optionally specify extra switches that are 
      used by Move operations in an optional 4th field of the 
      specification. If Move switches are specified then the other 
      switches are taken as Copy switches.
        General Syntax 1: Caption|Executable|Switches
        General Syntax 2: Caption|Executable|Copy Switches|Move Switches
    + Configuration | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations: Added 
      section "External Copy Handlers" with button "Configure...". The 
      button opens a multiline edit box where you can specify any number 
      of external copy handlers, one per line. Each line has to follow 
      the same syntax as the one used by SC copier, so the contents 
      could look like this:
        FastCopy (AutoClose)|%ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close
        FastCopy (Verify)|%ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/verify /auto_close
        TeraCopy (Rename All)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/RenameAll
        TeraCopy (Overwrite Older)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/OverwriteOlder
      The nice thing about this addition is that all copy handlers 
      listed here are also listed in the right-click menu of the "Use 
      Custom Copy" toolbar button, where you can now select your 
      preferred copy handler by a single click. Also listed here is 
      "XYplorer" which stands for XYplorer's native Custom Copy.
      Note that this way to define a copy handler is functionally 
      independent of the one using SC copier. There is no conflict. Both 
      modify the same setting, one via GUI, the other via scripting.
    ! Environment Variables: Under certain conditions (when there was a 
      hole in the array) not all environment variables were seen by XY. 
      Fixed.
    * Fresh Configuration: Experimentally now 2 advanced modules are 
      turned off in a fresh configuration: User and Scripting. The idea 
      is to reduce the overkill shock in newbies.
    ! Find Files: A newly opened Search Results tab could falsely 
      inherit a Visual Filter from the current tab although that filter 
      was not applied to the search results. Fixed: Newly opened Search 
      Results tabs will not inherit any Visual Filters anymore.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v13.40.0211 - 2013-12-15 16:00
    + SC copyto, moveto, backupto: Now you can pass a file containing a 
      source item list as source. The source items file should be an 
      ASCII or UNICODE text file, and containing one source item per 
      line. Empty lines are ignored. Folders can be slashed or not.
      Example for the contents of a source items file:
        E:\Test\a\test\file-01.txt
        E:\Test\a\test\file-02.txt
        E:\Test\a\test\folder\
      To mark the source argument as source items file simply prefix it 
      with "*".
      Example:
        copyto "E:\Target\", "*E:\Test\Sources.txt";
      Remarks:
      - This feature allows you to easily trigger "distributed file 
        operations", i.e. operations on a set of items that cannot 
        easily be defined by selecting the items in the file list. This 
        can mean an enormous usability boost.
      - The *-prefix was borrowed by TeraCopy, thanks for that!
    * SC copyto, moveto, backupto: Now the first argument (location) is 
      optional and defaults to the current path.
        copyto , "*E:\Test\Sources.txt"; //copy stuff to here      
    + Address Bar: Now, when the Address Bar shows an existing file (not 
      a folder), then the icon pops a right-click menu with 4 useful 
      commands: Go To, Open, Copy Item, Copy Name.
    * Copy Handler Definitions: Now you can omit the path. It will 
      default to the following standard paths:
        FastCopy: %ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe
        TeraCopy: %ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe
      So, a set of copier definitions can now look like this:
        FastCopy (AutoClose)||/auto_close
        FastCopy (Verify)||/verify /auto_close
        TeraCopy (Rename All)||/RenameAll
        TeraCopy (Overwrite Older)||/OverwriteOlder
    * SC Copier: Now it's a function.
      Name: Copier
      Action: Defines an external copy handler for copy and move operations.
      Syntax: copier([definition])
        definition: Defines the program to use and how.
          General syntax: Caption|Executable|Switches
          - The Caption has to be either TeraCopy or FastCopy.
          - The Executable has to be the full path to the executable.
            Optional. If omitted then these are the defaults:
            FastCopy: %ProgramFiles%\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe
            TeraCopy: %ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe
          - The Switches are optional. Look them up in the documentation 
            of the copier.
          Set to "" to use XYplorer's Custom Copy.
        return: the current definition.
      Examples:
        copier("FastCopy (AutoClose)||/auto_close"); //set copy handler
        copier(""); //back to XYplorer's Custom Copy
        echo copier(); //show current definition (don't change anything)
        $old = copier(""); //store current definition, then reset it to ""
    + Menu File | To Clipboard: Added command "Name(s), Bytes, 
      Modified[, Version], Path, MD5". The new thing here the MD5 part.
    * Toolbar | Use Custom Copy: Now the icon turns green when an 
      external copy handler is enabled.
    ! Thumbnails: Shell thumbnails (PSD, PDF, Office, and many more) 
      would not be displayed under DBCS codepages (East Asia) when the 
      path or file name contained Unicode characters. Fixed #2.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.41.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.41.lng is uploaded.

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
