    ! Scripting | Arrays: Interpolation (variables are resolved when they are embedded in 
      double-quoted strings) did not work for array variables where the index itself was 
      an expression. Fixed. This works now as expected:
    
        $a = array(a,b,c); $one = 1;
          echo $a[0] . " == $a[0]"; //a == a
          echo $a[$one] . " == $a[$one]"; //b == b
          echo $a[$one + $one] . " == $a[$one + $one]"; //c == c
          echo $a[$one + 1] . " == $a[$one + 1]"; //c == c
          echo $a[1 + 1] . " == $a[1 + 1]"; //c == c

    + Info Panel | Properties: The embedded icons scrollbar (only visible when you select 
      a file that contains embedded icons) now reacts to the mouse wheel. Hold SHIFT to 
      wheel 6 times as fast.

      of all embedded icons.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: Renaming folders with a long name in the tree pane could disrupt the name 
      alignment. Fixed.

    ! SC sysicons: Showing embedded/extracted icons with switch "e" was one off. Indices 
      start with 1, not with 0. Fixed.

    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: The last match won instead of the first. Fixed.
    ! Custom File Icons: Specifying icon resources (to extract icons from) with a relative 
      path (which defaults to the <xydata>\Icons path) failed due to a parsing error. No 
      icon was extracted. Fixed.
    ! Custom File Icons: Since v24.50.0008, icons extracted from icon resources did not 
      look good in Large Icons view (32x32) because they were stretched from 16x16 icons. 
      Fixed. Now the original 32x32 icon is used.

    + Custom Columns: Now Custom Columns of format Icon support icons extracted from icon 
      resources (exe; dll; cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm).
      Example:
        "%WINSYSDIR%\joy.cpl /0
    ! Custom File Icons (and some other places): Support for icons extracted from icon 
      resources (exe; dll; cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm) only worked 
      for exe, dll, icl. Fixed.
    ! Icons extracted from icon resources: There was a drawing problem all along where 
      small icons (16x16) were drawn by shrinking large icons (32x32), resulting in poor 
      quality and often missing pixels around the edge. Fixed. No more shrinking involved.
    > BTW, if you're interested in embedded icons, check out these semi-documented commands:
        sysicons "%winsysdir%\shell32.dll", , "e";  //16 x 16
        sysicons "%winsysdir%\shell32.dll", 0, "e"; //32 x 32
        sysicons "%winsysdir%\shell32.dll", 1, "e"; //16 x 16

v24.50.0006 - 2023-06-10 18:49
    * Tweak InterfaceColor: Renamed it to InterfaceColors, and Dark Mode is now completely 
      unaffected by the tweak. But who needs a tweak when there is a scripting command...
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: InterfaceColors
      Action: Sets or gets custom interface colors.
      Syntax: interfacecolors([colors])
        colors: New custom interface colors.
                Format: RRGGBB[|RRGGBB] (backcolor|textcolor)
                Empty: reset interface colors to Windows defaults
                Missing: just return current custom interface colors
        return: Current custom interface colors.
      Remarks:
        - Colors are to be stated in hexadecimal RRGGBB format (red, green, blue).
        - If you set the textcolor then checkboxes and radio buttons lose their Windows 
          Theme Style. It's the only way to change their text color.
        - It is recommended to choose a backcolor that is lighter than the textcolor, 
          otherwise you will have readability problems in some areas of the interface.
        - Dark Mode is completely unaffected by the colors defined here.
        - Raises tweak InterfaceColors to scripting.
      Example:
        echo interfacecolors(); //show current custom interface colors
        interfacecolors("");    //reset interface colors to Windows defaults
        interfacecolors("E9E6E3|124578"); //set backcolor and textcolor
        interfacecolors("EC8F32|C07532"); //New York City smoke mode
        interfacecolors("|124578");       //set textcolor only
        interfacecolors("E9E6E3|");       //set backcolor only
        interfacecolors("E9E6E3");        //set backcolor only

    ! Tweak InterfaceColor: Checkboxes and radio buttons did not take the textcolor. 
      Fixed. As with Dark Mode, the textcolor of these controls can only be changed if the 
      theme is turned off for them.
    ! Tweak InterfaceColor: Tab colors were not yet set correctly. Fixed.

    + Stepping through a Script Dialog: Now you can right-click the lines in the upper 
      section to pop a menu that allows you to copy them to clipboard.
    * Tweak ButtonFaceColor: Renamed it to InterfaceColor. In the next paragraph you'll 
      see why.
    + Tweak InterfaceColor: Now you can also specify a custom textcolor, separated from 
      the custom backcolor by a | character, general form: RRGGBB[|RRGGBB] (Back|Text).
      This, for example, defines a dark blue on a warm grey:
        InterfaceColor=E9E6E3|124578
      To tweak one color only, omit the other part:
        InterfaceColor=E9E6E3|      //only backcolor
        InterfaceColor=|124578      //only textcolor
      If no second color is defined then just the backcolor is tweaked:
        InterfaceColor=E9E6E3
    ! Folder View Settings: A Visual Filter defined via FVS could not be overwritten by a 
      VF passed directly with the location (appended after |). Fixed.

v24.50.0002 - 2023-06-09 12:43
    + Added a tweak to customize to so-called "Button Face Color" which Microsoft 
      describes as the "Background color of controls" (controls with variable content like 
      Edit Boxes and Lists are not included here).
      The default color in Win 8.1, 10, and 11 (AFAIK) is F0F0F0. This now, for example, 
      makes for a slightly darker and warmer color (colors are to be stated in hexadecimal 
      RRGGBB format):
        ButtonFaceColor=E9E6E3

      items: Now in Tiles and Thumbnails views, the background color of selected items is 
      highlighted when hovered. Makes it easier to see the highlight effect.

Code: Select all

v24.50.0000 - 2023-06-06 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder Icons Based On Content. Now you can define custom icons for empty, full and 
      Access Denied folders. These icons are used everywhere, in the folder tree, file 
      list, all menus and drop-down lists, breadcrumb bars, address bar, etc., so you can 
      immediately see whether a folder has contents or not.
  +++ Quick Boolean Filter. Now the Live Filter Box can treat space-separated items as 
      ANDed Boolean operands. This makes filtering simple, fast, and effective in a way 
      that feels natural.
  +++ Wrap-Around List. Now you can have the file list wrap around the edges, i.e. if you 
      press UP at the top of the list, you go to the bottom of the list, and if you press 
      DOWN at the bottom of the list, you go to the top of the list.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
  +++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Orgōne.
