Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v24.40.0201 - 2023-05-30 15:23
+ Custom File Icons: Now you can define special icons for empty and filled folders
using two new switches, /e and /f, created just for this purpose and appended to the
generic folder pattern "*\". Typically you will use just one of the switches in your
CFI definitions, either /e or /f (makes no difference for performance); on no-match
it will fall back to the generic folder icon (either system default, or
custom-defined by "*\" without switches).
Examples:
*\ /e>cup_coffee_empty.ico //matches all empty folders
*\ /f>cup_coffee_full.ico //matches all filled folders
Note that determining whether a folder is empty or not is work and takes some time.
So you pay a small price, but what you get might be worth it: everywhere, even in
drop-down lists, menus, breadcrumbs, address bar etc, you can now immediately see
whether a folder has contents or not. And that includes the tree and all list views,
and independently of showing folder thumbnails.
By default, network locations (UNC or mapped) are not checked for contents (they can
be quite slow). You can, however, include them by adding "n" to the switch:
*\ /en>cup_coffee_empty.ico //matches all empty folders (also checks network locations)
*\ /fn>cup_coffee_full.ico //matches all filled folders (also checks network locations)
Folders with "Access Denied" will show the generic folder icon (empty or filled can
not be decided).
- Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: The recent change in
v24.40.0107 wasn't a good solution after all. Undid it.
You may have to update your thumbnail cache to get rid of those yellow background
squares without an image.
! Tweak LiveFilterBooleanOR (affects Live Filter Box in small dialogs): Did not work
if "Use space character for Boolean AND" was enabled. Fixed.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
