Code: Select all

v22.50.0003 - 2021-11-25 17:29
    * SC pathvirtual: Pretty much redesigned it from scratch.
      Syntax: pathvirtual([path], [flags])
        path: Full real or virtual path to an item.
              Defaults to the currently focused list item.
        flags:
          0: Returns the shortest virtual version of the path.
          1: Mind the visibility in the current tree.
             Returns the shortest virtual version of the path where the top node 
             is part of the current tree.
          2: Mind the current tree location.
             Returns the virtual version of the path that matches currently selected 
             tree location. If that location is a real path then the real path 
             version is returned.
      Remarks:
        - The return is always without trailing backslash.
        - Update your code. Flag 1 now has to be flag 2.
    * Updated the help file.

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.

v22.50.0002 - 2021-11-25 09:19
    * SC pathvirtual: It now always checks whether the top node of the shortest 
      possible virtual path (eg "Downloads") is currently visible in the folder 
      tree. Otherwise, if <user> is currently visible, the return will be a 
      subfolder of <user> (eg "Donald\Downloads"). Otherwise it will be a real 
      path (eg "C:\Users\Donald\Downloads").

    ! Breadcrumb Bars: In the case of a Paper Folder, if "Check for Subfolders" 
      was deactivated, you could see the contents of the Paper Folder in the 
      drop-down on the far right. Fixed.
    ! Preview and Thumbnails: Error 429 (ActiveX component can't create object) 
      possible on some systems on certain file types since v22.40.0224 - 
      2021-11-13 09:36. Fixed.

v22.40.0244 - 2021-11-22 10:19
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: PathReal
      Action: Returns the real path for a given path.
      Syntax: pathreal([path])
        path: Full real or virtual path to an item.
              Defaults to the currently focused list item.
      Remarks:
        - Some paths support to be referred to by a shortened path spec, the 
          so-called virtual path. In XYplorer these paths are Desktop, 
          Documents, Downloads, Links, and <user> (there might be more in the 
          future). So these paths have at least two ways to be referred to, 
          mostly even three because all but <user> are contained within <user>.
          For example:
            Virtual path 1: Downloads\Alice\
            Virtual path 2: Donald\Downloads\Alice\
            Real path:      C:\Users\Donald\Downloads\Alice\
        - The return is always without trailing backslash.
      Examples:
      - All return "C:\Users\Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg":
        echo pathreal("Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg");
        echo pathreal("Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg");
        echo pathreal("C:\Users\Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg");
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: PathVirtual
      Action: Returns the virtual path for a given path.
      Syntax: pathvirtual([path], [flags])
        path: Full real or virtual path to an item.
              Defaults to the currently focused list item.
        flags:
          1: Mind current tree location (see examples).
      Remarks:
        The return is always without trailing backslash.
      Examples:
      - All return "Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg":
          echo pathvirtual("Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg");
          echo pathvirtual("Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg");
          echo pathvirtual("C:\Users\Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg");
      - All return "Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg" if the current tree 
        location is anywhere in the "Donald" branch (else they return 
        "Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg"):
          echo pathvirtual("Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg", 1);
          echo pathvirtual("Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg", 1);
          echo pathvirtual("C:\Users\Donald\Downloads\Alice\6foot.jpg", 1);
    * Scripting: The message "Script terminated by ESC." now appears in the 
      status bar instead of in a message box.
    ! SC IndexAtPos: Did not return the correct tab index (instead it returned 
      an internal tab ID which is independent of the tab position). Fixed.

v22.40.0243 - 2021-11-21 18:45
    + SC itematpos enhanced: Added flag that will return a path in its virtual 
      form when it's currently displayed that way at that position in Tree, 
      List, Tabs, or Crumb.
      Syntax: itematpos([x], [y], [flags])
        flags:
          0: If x and y are passed, they are the position on screen.
          1: If x and y are passed, they are the position on XYplorer.
          2: Return virtual path if the item at that position is displayed
             that way, else always convert to real path.
      Remarks:
      - An example to show the difference and relation between virtual and real 
        path:
          Virtual path: Donald\Dropbox\Pics
          Real path:    C:\Users\Donald\Dropbox\Pics
    ! Locked Tree: Current location could get out of sync in the context of a 
      CEA script. Fixed.
    ! Help | Contents and Index: Could crash on virgin installations. Tried a fix.

    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Resolve cache path from current 
      folder: Now there is portability also with Paper Folders. The cache path 
      is now resolved relative to the path of the paper folder file itself.
    + HoverBox: Now for images the displayed size is shown in the status when 
      it's < 100%.
    + Deep Injection on MDBU: Now you can invert the "deep" setting (SC 
      setthumb) on-the-fly by holding SHIFT while pressing the mouse button 
      down. That way you can quickly inspect the other thumbnail on items that 
      have an original one and an injected one.
      BTW, the blow up will stay up as long as you hold the key.

    * Preview and Thumbnails: The big change from v22.40.0224 - 2021-11-13 09:36 
      didn't work well for video files on some systems (oddly enough). That's 
      why I've excluded them from the change for the time being.

v22.40.0239 - 2021-11-20 13:42
    + SC setthumb enhanced: Now it can control deep injection.
      Syntax: setthumb [item], [source], [mapfile], [deep]
        deep:
          0: deep injection OFF
          1: deep injection ON
      Remarks:
        - On deep injection the thumbnails injected via setthumb or thumbnails 
          mapfile behave more like original thumbnails: They support HoverBox 
          and MDBU (but both only over the thumbnails, not over the file icons), 
          i.e. those features will show the injected image (if any), not the 
          original image of the hovered/clicked file.
        - Deep injection is remembered across sessions.
      Examples:
        setthumb 3:=1; //deep injection ON
        setthumb 3:=0; //deep injection OFF (factory default)
    * SC setthumb: FYI, the path of the injected thumbnails is now stored in the 
      cache (not just the pixels as before). This is needed to enable deep 
      injection.
    > Preview and Thumbnails: Still trying to generate better error messages for 
      a specific problem with video files.

    + SC setthumb enhanced: Now you can use it this way to reset a previously 
      set thumbnail:
        setthumb , "";  //reset to original thumbnail
    * Favorite Live Filters: Now only the captions are shown in the menu for 
      Live Filters that have one, not the whole definition, e.g.:
        "Text|Text Files" {:Text}     --->  Text Files
      FYI, the general syntax here gives you two options (short caption for 
      tabs, long caption for menus):
        "caption" pattern
        "shortcaption|longcaption" pattern
     * Favorite Live Filters: When adding a new one (Toggle Favorite Live 
       Filter) it's now added to the top of the list, like in an MRU list. 
       Before, the list was auto-sorted.
     % Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | In tree as 
       well: If ticked startup will be faster now than before.
     + Icon Overlays: Added a tweak to limit the amount of items that are 
       checked for having an icon overlay (which takes a while). This, for 
       example, would limit icon overlays to drive C:
        ShowIconOverlayFilter=C:\*
