    * Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | 
      Configure...: Now when "Preserve all item dates" is OFF the Created and Accessed 
      dates of files *moved across volumes* are preserved anyway. Before they had been set 
      to now. This change conforms to the default behavior of File Explorer.
    * Undo: Also undoing a cross-volume move now preserves the Created and Accessed dates.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0190.

    * List Columns | Aspect Ratio: Now the column is correctly sorted by the actual 
      quotient (eg 0.5), not by the term of the quotient (eg 1:2).
    * Special Property | Aspect Ratio: Now the actual quotient (eg 0.5) is searched and 
      filtered, not the term of the quotient (eg 1:2). For example, this will give you all 
      images equal to or wider than 2:1:
        prop:#AspectRatio: >= 2:1
      Wider than DIN 476 (aka Din A) landscape:
        prop:#AspectRatio: > √2:1
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Name & Location | Find hidden: Accelerator changed from d 
      to n. This frees Alt+D for "Focus Address Bar".

    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | 
      Persistent live filters: From now on, Live Filters will not persist anymore on 
      automatic tab switches (i.e. location change while being on a locked tab).
    ! Permanent Variables: They were loaded a bit too late for all possible contexts of 
      the new <perm ...>. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Clipboard Markers | Dimmed icons: The 
      combination Cut-Dimmed + Selected-Dimmed lead to some small white areas around some 
      icons, mostly visible over thumbnails. Fixed.

v23.10.0001 - 2022-05-23 14:30
    + Variables: Now permanent variables can be accessed from anywhere in the app using 
      the new <perm ...> meta variable. Example:
        perm $xy = "XYplorer"; echo "Perm test: <perm xy>.";  //Perm test: XYplorer.
      Once the permanent variable is defined you can always access it wherever XY native 
      variables are supported, e.g. as path in the address bar:
        C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\<perm xy>\
      If a permanent variable does not exist, <perm ...> is not resolved:
        echo "Perm test: <perm grrg>.";  //Perm test: <perm grrg>.      
      So you now can have user defined global variables that persist across sessions.
    > Tip: You can review and change your permanent variables at any time using the 
      "Scripting | Permanent Variables" command.
    ! Reading Text Files: In some contexts, including scripting, text files with mixed EOL 
      characters were not correctly parsed into lines. Fixed.

Download Page: https://www.xyplorer.com/download.php
Release Notes: https://www.xyplorer.com/release.php

Code: Select all

v23.10.0000 - 2022-05-20 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Wheel Through The List Views. Now you can scroll through the available 10 list views 
      with the wheel, Ctrl+Wheel to be precise.
  +++ Auto-repeat Search At Next Location. Now you can automatically repeat the current 
      search for the next selected location. No more browse-then-search, 
      browse-then-search, browse-then-search, but just search, search, search.
  +++ Skip Invisible Subfolders. Now you can control whether invisible subfolders are 
      included in a recursive search.
  +++ Transparent Folders Through Color Filters. Now you get advanced folder color filters 
      that show the type of folder content right in the file list. Saves you a lot of 
      guessing and opening.
  +++ Show Bitness In Tooltip. The bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) is now displayed at the end 
      of the tooltip for all file types where it makes sense (EXE, DLL, DRV, TLB, etc).
  +++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Obongjayar.
To download this OFFICIAL version choose a package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

    * List: Now a horizontally scrolled list maintains its scrolling position when the 
      content changes in the same location, usually through filtering. Previously, the 
      list was scrolled all the way to the left when the number of items got smaller than 
      before (but not when it got larger than before, pfff...).

    + Color Filters: Added tweak to apply the text color only to the Name column.
        ColorFilterNameOnly=1
      Affects only text-color-only filters since filters with back colors are only applied 
      to the Name column anyway.
      Will be added to UI later.
    ! Color Filters: Fixed a couple of glitches related to default text and back colors, 
      and Dark Mode.
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Cache 
      search results: Cache went totally out of sync with reality in a Read-Only instance. 
      Fixed: Now search results caching is not done in Read-Only Mode.
    ! The speed improvements in v23.00.0309 - 2022-05-13 15:37 resulted in a complete 
      malfunction in Windows XP. Fixed.

v23.00.0316 - 2022-05-17 18:39
    + SC property enhanced: Added argument #NoSubs to return whether a folder has 
      subfolders or not.
      The #NoSubs and #Empty return values mean the same with two exceptions:
      - #Empty:   The return value 2 means "this is a folder without contents".
                  The return value 6 means "this is a folder with contents".
      - #NoSubs:  The return value 2 means "this is a folder without subfolders".
                  The return value 6 means "this is a folder with subfolders".
      For example, if you define Color Filter definitions in this order...
        +B:prop:#empty:2|s>FFFF00,FF6FB7
        +L:prop:#nosubs:2|s>FFFF00,7088FE
      ... then totally empty folders will be pink, and folders without subfolders will be 
      violet. This definition would color folders *with* subfolders:
        +L:prop:#nosubs:6|s>FFFF00,7088FE
      Note the "L" scope with #NoSubs. This Color Filter is not necessary in the 
      tree because there you already have the expansion icons with the same meaning.
      BTW, L: is optional and as well can be omitted:
        +prop:#nosubs:6|s>FFFF00,7088FE

    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box: Packed the two field lists 
      into buttons "Select Standard Fields..." and "Select Extra Fields...". Relaxes the 
      page and has the great advantage that the pop-up lists can be filtered, which is a 
      blessing with more than 300 entries.
      Note:
      - The line numbers in "Select Standard Fields..." are 0-based because that's how 
        the Windows properties indices work internally and it's easier for coders this 
        way. Just for symmetry, the same is done in "Select Extra Fields...".
    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Follow 
      junctions: Applying a change in this setting will now automatically repeat all open 
      searches to reflect any consequences.
    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Skip 
      invisible subfolders: Applying a change in this setting will now automatically 
      repeat all open searches to reflect any consequences.

    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files: Added 
      option "Skip invisible subfolders". Enable it to not scan folders not shown by 
      current settings (i.e. HIDDEN folders if "Show hidden files and folders" is OFF, and 
      SYSTEM folders if "Show system files and folders" is OFF).
      The effect is identical to using the new /V switch.
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips: Now 
      the bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) is shown at the end of the tooltip for the following 
      file types:
        .8bf.acm.asr.ax.bpl.com.cpl.deu.dll.dpl.drv.exe.fon.ime.lx
        .ocx.olb.qts.qtx.scr.sys.tlb.tpl.tsp.vbx.vxd
      Bitness can only be determined for MZ executables.
      If the bitness cannot be determined, nothing is returned.
    ! Quick Search: Broken in v23.00.0310 due to some "optimization". Fixed.
    ! Quick Search: A search pattern "%TEMP%;<xypath>? /fn" would not survive a tab

      - If you click the current folder again in the tree the quick search mode is ended.

        then was dropped with the following note:
          Dropped "Automatic File Find when Browsing" (under menu Tools).
