Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (64-bit):

Code: Select all

v28.10.0204 - 2025-12-31 10:42
    + Floating Preview: Added toggle "Zoom to Cursor" (U) to the context menu. Toggles the 
      new cursor-focused zoom feature, aka cursor-centric zoom, aka zoom to cursor.
      So you now got cursor-focused zoom when you zoom in or out by the wheel. This is a 
      game changer for those interested in detail.
    * Floating Preview: You can now move uncropped images as well. If Mouse Down Blow Up
      is enabled (toggleable by pressing M), use the right mouse button to move an image; 
      otherwise, use the left mouse button.
    * Floating Preview: The hand cursor that indicated that images could be moved with the 
      left mouse button has been removed. I didn't like how it covered the area it was 
      pointing to.
    ! Floating Preview: Since v21.50.0106 - 2021-01-30 16:00, the maximum zoom factor has 
      been limited by area-dependent logic. For example, it ended around 345% for a 
      2048x2048 image. This was never intended to apply to the Floating Preview%. Fixed. 
      The maximum zoom factor is now back to 64 (6400%).
    + SC sound: Now the loop parameter also applies to internal sounds and event labels.
        sound "*1", 1; //loop internal sound *1
        sound "SystemHand", , 1; //loop system error sound
        sound; //stop the looping
      Note that looping is not supported for non-WAW audio files.
    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0033.
    * Custom Toolbar Buttons: Undid this change from v28.00.1210 - 2025-12-08 14:37:
      - Now, if a Name is defined but no Icon, the button is automatically displayed as a 
        text button, i.e. the text in the Name field is used as the button graphics.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: Variables in captions weren't resolved anymore since 
      20251214. Fixed.
    ! Multiple Monitors: Turning off any monitor created a minimized taskbar icon for 
      XYplorer even if it was minimized to tray. Fixed.      
    ! Custom Copy | Background Processing: Refined error messages.
    ! List Management: When toggling editor mode for an empty list, the buttons on the 
      right side would disappear and never come back. Fixed.

To easily upgrade to this BETA version of XYplorer (64-bit), hold down the CTRL key and click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

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

v28.10.0203 - 2025-12-23 17:40
    ! Live Filter: Numeric comparisons like "prop:imagex: < 500" didn't work anymore since 
      v28.10.0102 - 2025-12-16 16:41. Fixed.
    ! Live Filter: The undocumented special image properties #image.width and 
      #image.height (much faster than prop:imagex and prop:imagey) did not work anymore 
      since 20220530. Fixed. Examples:
        prop:#image.width: < 500
        prop:#image.height: < 500

    % Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Truncate filenames in the 
      middle: Much faster through improved algorithm and superior API choice.
    % Tree and List: Faster through superior API choice.
    ! Hover Box: With "Zoom to Fit" enabled and happening (Hover Box size is larger than 
      the original), JPEG images displayed a stretched version of the embedded thumbnail, 
      which is usually very poor quality, instead of stretching the original image. Fixed.

v28.10.0201 - 2025-12-21 12:34
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: DualPane
      Action: Shows, hides, or toggles the second list pane.
      Syntax: dualpane([show], [active])
        show:    1 = show the inactive pane
                 0 = hide the inactive pane
                -1 = toggle the inactive pane
        active:  Set active pane (ignored if only one pane is shown)
                   0 = toggle
                   1 = 1st pane
                   2 = 2nd pane
                 Add 4 to focus the active pane
                   4 = toggle and focus
                   5 = 1st pane and focus
                   6 = 2nd pane and focus
        return: 1 if both panes are displayed (before the command is executed)
                0 otherwise
      Examples:
        dualpane(1);  //show the inactive pane (no change if already shown)
        dualpane(0);  //hide the inactive pane (no change if already hidden)
        dualpane(-1); //toggle the inactive pane
        echo dualpane(); //get the current state
        dualpane(, 0); //toggle active pane
        dualpane(1, 6); //show both panes, activate the 2nd pane and focus it
    + Aliases: They can now be used in the destinations of file operations. For example, 
      as the target path of Edit | Copy To.
    ! Color Filters: Scope "dir:" was ignored (matching both files AND folders instead) 
      when used in a non-first part of a boolean expression. Example:
        prop:#contains.*.flac:1 OR dir:C*
      Fixed.

    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0032.
    ! Dialogs: Since v28.10.0103, the main window would dive down behind the next window 
      after two modal dialogs opened on top of each other were closed. Fixed.

    + Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: Now there is a message if the upgrade 
      would invalidate your Rookie License. If so, the upgrade will not happen.
      Example:
        Upgrade not possible
        Unfortunately, your Rookie License Professional is only valid for 
        version 28.10. It does not cover upgrading to version 28.20.0000.
    + Auto-close Dialog: Two enhancements:
      - ESC stops the auto-close timer.
      - Clicking on the animation or anywhere on the empty areas of the form stops/resumes 
        the auto-close timer.
    % Startup: Was a bit flickery with initial focus not in the address bar. Smoother now.
    ! Dialogs: When a dialog was closed (e.g., by a timer), the parent window would jump 
      to the front, covering all other windows. Fixed. Now, it stays where it is.
    ! Dialogs: Some control events would not fire when a dialog was reloaded (shown 
      again). Fixed.

v28.10.0102 - 2025-12-16 16:41
    + SC echo enhanced: You can now state a duration after which the dialog will 
      auto-close.
      Syntax: echo text, [topic], [subtopic], [duration]
        duration: (optional) Time in ms after which the dialog auto-closes.
      Remarks:
        - The dialog is both modal and synchronous. The script will only continue after 
          the auto-close (or after actively pressing a dialog-closing button). This makes 
          the auto-close dialog quite an interesting addition to your scripting.
        - There is a little animation to tell you when it's over.
        - The timing is not super-exact. Run some tests before using it to boil an egg.
      Example:
        echo "hi!", 3:=5000; //auto-close after 5 seconds
    ! Live Filter: Didn't work for Bit Depth (eg 16-bit) because it was incorrectly parsed 
      as a range (16-to-bit). Fixed.
    ! Wav Length: The duration of some exotically formatted WAV files could not be read 
      natively from the file. Fixed.

    ! Audio Columns: Sample Rate and Bit Rate were not sorted correctly because the 
      Windows natural sorting routines surprisingly cannot deal with regional thousand 
      separators. Fixed by a major rewrite of those columns. Involved lots of changes. 
      Regressions may occur.

      on top of their parents. Fixed.

    + Customize Toolbar Dialog: Now Separator, New Row, and End Of List show a distinctive 
      background color.
    + Customize Toolbar Dialog: After selecting "Remove All", the "End of List" pseudo 
      item is automatically added to the end of the list. This allows you to more easily 
      add buttons in the correct order.
    % Startup: Faster.
    ! Dark Mode: On startup in dark mode, the line number column of the active pane would 
      be light colored under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: If the right-click script contained variables, for example
        text <get loadtimes 0>, 800, 800;
      they were resolved before showing the button's right-click menu, leading to 
      unpredictable and often unreadable menu captions. Fixed. Now the caption shows the 
      first line of the script unresolved.

    + SC refresh: Added a way to refresh the complete layout. This is rather for debugging 
      since it normally shouldn't be necessary to do that.
      Syntax: refresh [control="list"]
        control: Control to refresh. These are supported:
