Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v22.80.0118 - 2022-02-13 19:10
    * Toolbar | Show Menu: Renamed it to "Show Menu Bar".
    * Wheel | Switch Toolbar Button Set: If there are only 2 sets the wheel will cycle 
      them in each direction.
    ! Thumbnails: Certain JPEGs (those having an "XPComment") didn't show a thumbnail 
      anymore since some weeks ago. Fixed.
    ! Find Files | Contents | It's a hex string: Didn't work if Type wasn't set to 
      "Binary". Fixed. Now the setting of Type is irrelevant.
    ! Find Files | Contents | It's a hex string: Didn't work if the active code page 
      wasn't Windows-1252 (ANSI) (probably since v16.50.0215 - 2016-04-10 20:57). Fixed.
:info: To update to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. To download it, choose a 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.

Code: Select all

v22.80.0113 - 2022-02-13 10:52
    + Toolbar: Now when button captions are shown, Ctrl+Wheel in the upper half of the 
      toolbar changes the button text font size, Ctrl+Wheel in the lower half of the toolbar 
      changes the button captions font size.
    - Wheel: Removed that fix from v22.80.0111 - 2022-02-12 12:12. If Win10 allows the 
      wheel to break modality this can be seen and used as a feature.
    > This feature from v9.40.0103 - 2010-08-14 15:43 stopped working somewhere along the 
      way:
        + Menu Go: All commands concerned with going to a new location now 
          support Ctrl+Shift+Click to use the inactive pane, even the "Go to 
          Last Target" (incl. selecting the target files) command.
          In the "Go to" dialog you can hold Ctrl+Shift while clicking OK.
      It cannot be restored, so I'll just remove it from the Help file.
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: The menus popped at the wrong location when the toolbar was 
      not left-aligned in the window. Fixed.

v22.80.0112 - 2022-02-12 16:25
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: ButtonSet
      Action: Sets or gets the current toolbar button set.
      Syntax: buttonset([index])
        index: 1-4:     Index of the set to switch to.
               -1:      Cycle the sets.
               Other values: No switch happens.
               Missing: No switch happens.
        return: Index of the current set (before any switch).
      Remarks:
        - You can switch to a set that is not reachable via UI, e.g. to set #4 while 
          "Number of Button Sets" is set to 3. The power of scripting.
      Examples:
        echo buttonset(); //return current set index
        buttonset(-1); //cycle the sets
        buttonset(4); //switch to set 4
    * Wheel | Switch Toolbar Button Set: Reversed the direction: Now WheelDown goes on to 
      the next set till the last, WheelUp goes to the previous set till the first.
    ! Help | Keyboard Shortcuts on Menu: Was not honored by "Custom Toolbar Buttons | 
      Vertical Popup Toolbars" and "Breadcrumbs | Menu Button". Fixed.

    + Toolbar: Added button "Switch Toolbar Button Set". Does what "Window | Arrangement | 
      Switch Toolbar Button Set" does.
    * Switch Toolbar Button Set: Now WheelUp goes up to the last set, WheelDown goes down 
      to the first set.
    ! Wheel: Apparently in Win10 and higher the wheel could by used on the backgrounded 
      main form while a modal dialog was shown. Not anymore.

v22.80.0110 - 2022-02-11 19:01
    + Window | Arrangement: Added command "Switch Toolbar Button Set". Does the same as 
      Shift+Wheel over the Toolbar: Cycles through the button sets. But now you can assign 
      a keyboard shortcut to it.
      - You also get a Status Bar message now, e.g. "switched to button set #3".
      - The number of button sets can be set now in Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options.
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options: Added toggle "Allow Button Set Switching". Tick 
      if you actually want all that new button set switching.
      > It's on by factory default but upgraders have to actively tick it.
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options: Added options field "Number of Button Sets". So 
      now you can have up to 4 different button sets.
    * Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options: When "Scrollable Toolbar" is OFF, you don't 
      need to hold down the SHIFT key to switch button sets by the wheel (assuming "Allow 
      Button Set Switching" is ON).
    * Tools | Customize Toolbar...: Now the index of the current button set is shown in 
      the dialog title, e.g. "Customize Toolbar - Button Set #2".      
    % Word Breaking: Improved the automatic word boundary recognition (on double-click, 
      Ctrl+Arrow, Ctrl+BackSpace) in the rename text boxes of all small lists.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: Drawing glitch after switching from an image file icon 
      (nicotine.png) to an internal icon with a smaller width (:menu). Fixed.

    + Toolbar: Now there are two separate toolbar definitions that you can switch between 
      using Shift+Wheel over the toolbar. The 2nd one factory-defaults to the menu buttons 
      ({menus_all}). Both toolbars can be customized completely independently.

    + Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Now on-the-fly menu flip is supported. While a menu is 
      displayed, you can mouse over the next menu button and its menu will automatically 
      appear. FYI, it took me about 10 years to get this working.
    > Toolbar | Menu Buttons: The menus popped by these buttons have no item icons when 
      the main menu is hidden. An unfortunate and mysterious fact that simply has to be 
      accepted at this time.
    * Custom Toolbar Buttons | Text: Changed the behavior described in v22.80.0106. The 
      caption is NOT used as location anymore. This means you have to put something into 
      the "On left-click" field.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons | Text: Drawing meltdown when icon was not defined. Fixed.
    ! List | Label column | Cell Context Menu: Menu item icons defect after startup with a 
      hidden main menu bar. Fixed.

    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can make your own text buttons. Simply prefix 
      "text:" to the Name, e.g. "text:Nicotine". Sure, they usually take up more space 
      than an icon, but if you don't have a suitable icon handy, you can type your button 
      now.
      FYI, if no script is defined for the CTB left-click, the text is treated as a 
      (absolute, or relative to app path) location, e.g. "text:C:\". Clicking the button 
      will attempt to go there, or to open it if it is a file.

    + Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Now a right-click pops all top menu items.
    * Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Changed the button keys to more future-safe and 
      user-friendly ones. What was "men_0" before is now "men_file".
      This means, of course, that you have to reconfigure your menu buttons. Well, it's 
      work in progress aka beta.
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar...: Now the toolbar fonts can be configured in this 
      dialog. You find the commands within the "Options..." button.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts: Removed the toolbar fonts.
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Didn't honor Configuration | Other | Features. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Fixed a couple of other glitches.

    + Toolbar: Added button group "All Menus (Group)". It will add all main menus as 
      buttons to the toolbar in one go.
    + Toolbar: Now the new menu buttons are multi-lingual.
    * Toolbar: Unless "Show verbatim tooltips" is enabled or you hold CTRL, the text 
      buttons don't show any tooltips anymore (because they are totally redundant).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.143.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.143.lng is uploaded.

    + Toolbar: Now the toolbar knows two separate fonts/sizes, one for the text buttons and 
      one for the button captions.
      For some years now Ctrl+Wheel modifies the button captions font size if captions are 
      shown. Now, Ctrl+Wheel modifies the text buttons font size if the button captions 
      are NOT shown (this now also includes the font size for labels in user buttons).
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts: Added an extra control for the toolbar 
      text buttons.
    ! Toolbar: The combination of text buttons with button captions revealed numerous 
      problems. Fixed.
    ! Configuration: Longer topic headings have been truncated since 20220129. Fixed.
