XYplorer Beta Club
v22.20.0219 - 2021-09-22 20:05
> Added debug logging to fix a freezing problem.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all
v22.20.0218 - 2021-09-22 11:32
+ List | Information Bars: Experimentally added a single-click way to close
the bar and the related function. You'll see a little cross at the right
end of the bar. If you click that right-end square marked by the cross the
bar will close (more exactly: will do the same that a double-click would do).
It's totally basic, no hover-effect, no tooltip.
* Live Filter Box: Now when filled programmatically (not by typing, but e.g.
by toggling) the beginning of the pattern is visible (not scrolled out of
view) even if the pattern is longer than the box. That way you can always
see the selector.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0217 - 2021-09-21 18:51
+ Cell Context Menu: Added command "Quick Search". Will run a Quick Search
looking for that property.
* Cell Context Menu | Set as Live Filter: Renamed it to "Live Filter".
* Cell Context Menu: Moved "Live Filter" and "Quick Search" to the top.
+ Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus: Added
option "Hold Ctrl to show cell context menu" (default is ON). Untick to
pop the Cell Context Menu by a simple right-click without holding CTRL.
- That way the new cell-oriented functions are more easily accessible.
- If unticked you still can pop the standard Edit context menu by holding
CTRL (or by "rocker-click"). So this setting swaps the need for CTRL
between the two possible context menus.
! Set as Live Filter: Did not work yet for some columns with a space in the
name. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0216 - 2021-09-20 20:25
! List: Column headers were destroyed on tab change in the last beta. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0215 - 2021-09-20 20:01
! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Autofit the width
of the Name column: Under certain conditions a horizontal scrollbar
appeared when it should not.
! Configuration dialog: It was smaller than necessary on small screens of a
certain size. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0214 - 2021-09-20 16:00
+ Find Files and Quick Search: Now you can find files by their Shell
Properties even when such a column is currently not present in the list.
These are the properties that are available in the "Property Columns". You
find a list of them here: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips &
Hover Box | Show these fields
Simply use the Property name as selector, for example:
Item type: TXT File
+ Find Files and Quick Search: Now you can find files by their Special
Properties even when such a column is currently not present in the list.
Simply use the Special Property name (as you see it in the "Select Special
Property" dialog that you can show when you right-click a such a column
header) as selector, for example:
MD5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
Aspect Ratio: 2:3
Alternatively you can use the internal selector (if you know it ... see
below). It is locale independent and pretty safe against ambiguities (the
user could have one or more Custom Columns named "MD5" which would make
the actual outcome of the simple forms above unpredictable):
hash.md5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
aspectratio: 2:3
Note that the old way still works. It is more clumsy and harder to remember
but even more safe against ambiguities:
prop:#hash.md5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
prop:#aspectratio: 2:3
There aren't any notable speed difference between the alternatives.
+ Now you can show the internal Special Property selectors (e.g. "hash.md5")
in the "Select Special Property" dialog if you hold CTRL down while
opening the dialog. They are canonic, i.e. locale independent.
+ Live Filter Box: Now Shell Properties and Special Properties are
supported. Works independently of any currently visible columns.
Patterns are identical to the ones used in Find Files, for example:
Item type: TXT File
MD5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
Aspect Ratio: 2:3
% Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Always autosize the
Size column: Less flicker when changing locations while Show Folder Sizes is
enabled.
! Set as Live Filter: Did not work yet for the Type column. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0213 - 2021-09-19 17:44
+ Batch Rename: Now it has progress feedback in the status bar.
% Clipboard Markers: Turned out that the Clipboard Markers were poorly
implemented and caused heavy delays when the number of items in the
clipboard was high. Improved in 2 ways:
- Now when both of these settings are OFF...
- Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Clipboard Markers | Dimmed icons
- Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Clipboard Markers | Colored lines
... no work related to the markers is done anymore.
- There is a limit now up to which Clipboard Markers are processed and
shown. The factory default is 1000 (= up to 1000 items in the clipboard).
This value can be tweaked here:
ClipboardMarkersLimit=1000
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.135.
> TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.135.lng is uploaded.

v22.20.0212 - 2021-09-19 13:06
+ Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns: Added option "On
autosize disregard the column headers". Tick it to mind only the column
contents, not the headers, when autosizing. Can save a lot of horizontal
space if you have long-named columns with short contents.
Note that there is a certain minimum width guaranteed so you can at least
guess what the header is saying, especially when the sort symbol is also
present in the column.
FYI, this option raises tweak AutoSizeIgnoreHeader to UI.
+ List: Now you get tooltips for column headers that are only partially
visible due to sizing or scrolling.
+ Find Files by Size and Filters: Handling thousand separators now also works
when they are periods (as eg in German locale).
! Find Files by Size: Non-KB patterns like "Size: 3 MB" or "Size: >=2.83 MB"
did not work yet correctly. Fixed.
! Set as Live Filter: Did not work yet for Date columns if "Show Age" was in
effect. Fixed. Now always the absolute date is used for the Live Filter.
> List: Remember that the Ctrl+Right-Click menu of each cell in Details view
(with the cool new "Set as Live Filter" command) can also be opened
one-handedly using the "rocker-click" (Left-Mouse-Down + Right-Mouse-Click).
Code: Select all
v22.20.0211 - 2021-09-18 21:11
! Visual Filters and Live Filters: Filtering by Size did not work yet where
thousand separators were combined with units, e.g. "Size: 5,318 KB". Fixed.
> Note that handling thousand separators only works when they are commas.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0210 - 2021-09-18 20:10
+ Find Files by Size: Now you can pass file sizes with units in the search
term. Also local thousand separators are handled now.
Examples:
Search Pattern Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Size: 529 KB assumes "KB (rounded up)" as unit
Size: 528.49 KB assumes "KB" (= KB rounded to 2 decimal places) as unit
Size: <= 528.49 KB ~ same as above ~
Size: >= 500,000 assumes "B" (bytes) as unit
Size: >= 500000 ~ same as above ~
- Works independently of the current Size Column Format in the list.
- Also works in Quick Search.
+ Find Files by Columns: Now you can prefix any column header (canonic name
or current caption) to the search term (separated by :).
Examples:
Ext: jpg
Ext: j*g
Size: >= 500000
Size: 529 KB (see "Find Files by Size" above)
Modified: 2014-09-21 12:55:09
+ Visual Filters and Live Filters: All columns (apart from "Index") are supported now.
Examples:
Ext: jpg
Ext: j*g
Size: >= 500000
Size: 529 KB
Size: 528.49 KB
Size: <= 528.49 KB
Modified: 2014-09-21 12:55:09
Label: Green
Tags: Charlie
Comment: More columns are supported now.
Len: 108
Attr: R (R must be among the attributes)
AttrList: HSDJI (attributes must perfectly match)
> Note that the "Index" column contains an internal value that cannot be
searched or filtered. All other columns should work now.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0209 - 2021-09-17 16:53
+++ Visual Filters and Live Filters: Now you can filter lists by the data
shown in Custom Columns. Awesome.
- You can reference the columns by their canonic name and also by their
caption (the latter can be ambiguous).
- Like with other filters you can use numeric operators (>=, <, ==, etc)
and wildcards (*, ?). What makes sense when, only you can know since you
wrote the Custom Columns.
- Note that the filtering also works for columns that are not currently
present in the list. So you now have handy shortcuts to ever so complex
filters. Mega awesome.
- Examples:
Filter Pattern Used Column Reference Matches
----------------------------------------------------------------
cc18: >= 2 Canonic Name all numbers >= 2
Date Done: *25 days Caption 1 month 25 days
+ List: Experimentally added a new command "Set as Live Filter" (another
possible caption would be "Filter by This Property") to the
Ctrl+Right-Click menu of each cell in Details view. It seems to work well
with Custom Columns, but not with some of the other columns. Work in
progress...
! Preview: Previewing very large text files could lead to Error 6
(Overflow). Fixed.
! Content Search: A RegExp search of very large text files could lead to
Error 7 (Out of Memory). Fixed.
! Find Files: When searching by a Custom Column and this column returned a date
and the Format was set to "Age", the matching was falsely done by the absolute
date, not by the age term shown in the column. Fixed.
This, for example, will find all items where the Custom Column "Date MC"
returns an age ending with "25 days":
Date MC: *25 days
Note that this search also works when the Custom Column is not currently
present in the list.

v22.20.0208 - 2021-09-16 09:48
+ Small Audio Preview: If the Preview Pane is visible an audio-only preview
shows its progress in the Status Bar (just like the Quick Audio Preview on
MDBU) -- this is called "Small Audio Preview" now.
Now the Small Audio Preview also supports winding backward and forward:
Left: 5 sec backward
Right: 5 sec forward
Shift+Left: 30 sec backward
Shift+Right: 30 sec forward
Ctrl+Left: 1 sec backward
Ctrl+Right: 1 sec forward
Works in playing and in paused state.
+ Small Audio Preview: Now it supports the following keys (apart from ESC
these keys work the same way in the Preview Tab ever since):
Space = toggle Play/Pause
Shift+Space = Stop (Pause and Rewind)
ESC = End Preview
! Small Audio Preview: Stopping this preview (and hiding the progress bar)
by unselecting the previewed file did not work anymore since 20210329.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v22.20.0207 - 2021-09-15 12:30
+ Custom Event Actions: Added new event "Exit". It is fired right before the
automatic save settings on exit (if any).
! SC catalogreport: If the Catalog wasn't shown on startup and still hidden
when calling SC catalogreport the report didn't cover the complete
Catalog because at that point it wasn't yet fully loaded internally. Fixed.
> Time-Stamping: FYI, the earliest possible file date you can set in XY is this:
1601-01-01 00:00:00.0000001Z (Z for Zulu = UTC = Coordinated Universal Time)
It is not possible to set the file date to the absolute low (which would
be shown as "(unknown)"):
1601-01-01 00:00:00Z (= 1601-01-01 00:00:00.0000000Z)
This is because the SetFileTime API interprets a 0 value as "Do not change
the current timestamp".
BTW, the latest possible file date you can set in XY is this:
9999-12-31 23:59:59.9999999Z
I guess at this moment (9999-12-31 23:59:59) some sweat will flow...

v22.20.0206 - 2021-09-13 19:46
+ Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy
Operations: Added option "Check beforehand whether there is enough space".
Tick it check beforehand whether there is enough space.
- Before, it was hard-coded to "Yes". So now you have the option to turn
it off, which can be useful sometimes.
- This setting applies to Custom Copy/Move and also to Backup operations.
- Intra-volume moves do not check space anyway since this version so here
the setting is irrelevant.
- BTW, also the setting "Default to repeat action on collisions" applies
to Custom Copy/Move and also to Backup operations.
* File | Quick File View: Now if a LNK file is viewed, the Quick File View
will show the target file, not the LNK file.
* Custom Copy: Free space check is completely skipped now for move
operations in the same drive (aka intra-volume moves) because a better API
was employed to do the move job.
If overwrites are involved intra-volume moves are also faster now.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0175.

v22.20.0205 - 2021-09-12 19:10
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: IndexAtPos
Action: Returns the fixed internal item index within a control at a
certain screen position.
Syntax: indexatpos([x], [y], [flags])
(same as SC ItemAtPos)
return: Item index.
The index is usually 0-based, i.e. the first index is "0".
Returns "-1" if the X/Y coordinates do not point to any item.
Remarks:
Supported controls are:
- Tree (index of hovered item)
- Catalog (index of hovered item)
- List (index of hovered item)
- Toolbar (index of hovered button)
- Tab Bar (index of hovered tab)
With Breadcrumb Bar and Status Bar, the Index value is meaningless (it's
always 1 less than the position index).
Examples:
echo indexatpos(); //item position at current mouse position on screen
echo indexatpos(592, 662); //item position at arbitrary mouse position on screen
echo indexatpos(73, 108, 1); //item position at arbitrary mouse position on XYplorer
status posatpos() . " - " . indexatpos(); //show position and index in the Status Bar
+ SC catalogreport enhanced: Added {Index} to the variables supported in
template_category and template_item-
Action: Creates a report on the Catalog.
Syntax: catalogreport(template_category, template_item, [currentcategory=0])
template_category: Template for categories.
The following variables are supported:
{Caption} = Caption field.
{Index} = Item index (a fixed numeric ID, independent of the position).
{Location} = Location field ("Description" in Categories)
{RGB Text} = Text color in RRGGBB format.
{RGB Back} = Background color in RRGGBB format.
template_item: Template for items.
Variables see template_category above.
currentcategory:
0: [Default] Report on whole catalog.
1: Report on current category.
return: The report.
Example:
text catalogreport("Category: {Caption}", " #{Index}: {Caption}, {Location}, {RGB Text}, {RGB Back}");
+ SC savethumb: Now it also generates thumbnails from video files.
! SC posatpos: Over Catalog it returned the fixed internal index instead of
the position. Fixed.
