v22.20.0204 - 2021-09-12 11:46
    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Now if none 
      of initial strategies find a thumbnail ("Desktop.ini"; "folder.jpg", 
      "folder.png"; any JPEG or PNG) the first image or video file is used for 
      the thumbnail.
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: PosAtPos
      Action: Returns the item position index within a control at a certain 
              screen position.
      Syntax: posatpos([x], [y], [flags])
              (same as SC ItemAtPos)
        return: Position index. First position is "1".
                Returns "0" if the X/Y coordinates do not point to any item.
      Remarks:
        Supported controls are:
        - Tree (position of hovered item)
        - Catalog (position of hovered item)
        - List (position of hovered item)
        - Toolbar (position of hovered button)
        - Tab Bar (position of hovered tab)
        - Breadcrumb Bar (position of hovered path component)
        - Status Bar (position of hovered section)
      Examples:
        echo posatpos(); //item position at current mouse position on screen
        echo posatpos(592, 662); //item position at arbitrary mouse position on screen
        echo posatpos(73, 108, 1); //item position at arbitrary mouse position on XYplorer
    * Configuration: Simplified and reorganized the return of the undocumented 
      Ctrl+Right-Click function to display breadcrumb paths to each option.

To download the latest BETA version 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.

    + Hover Box | Image: While the Hover Box is showing an image you now can 
      toggle whether photo data are shown in the Hover Box status by pressing 
      the "P" key. Remembered across sessions.
      - The same setting is also found here: Configuration | Information | 
        Report & Data | Photo Data | Show photo data in the Hover Box.
      - Photo Data include Camera Model, Focal Length, F-Stop, Exposure Time, 
        Exposure Bias, ISO Speed, and Date Taken.
      - FYI, before this setting was controlled by the "Show Photo Data" setting 
        in the Large Tiles view.
    + Configuration | Information | Report & Data | Photo Data: Added option 
      "Show photo data in the Hover Box". Tick it to show photo data in the 
      Hover Box status.
    + Configuration | Information | Report & Data | Photo Data: Added option 
      "Show photo data in the Large Tiles view". Tick it to show photo data in 
      the Large Tiles view.
      - The same setting is also found as "Show Photo Data" in the 
        CTRL+Right-click menu of the text area of each tile in the Large Tiles 
        view.
    * Configuration | Information | Report: Renamed it to "Report & Data".

v22.20.0202 - 2021-09-10 20:20
    * Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: [...]: Now a 
      double-click on an item will open the "Edit..." dialog if the "Edit..." 
      button is enabled.
    ! 64-bit Preview: Removed a useless error message that occurred with a 
      specific MSG preview handler.
    * XY64: Updated to 1.0.0.25.
    ! Preview of Animated GIF Files: Since Win8.1 the animation did not happen 
      in the Preview Tab or Preview Pane or Floating Preview *IF* the file path 
      contained any Unicode characters. Fixed.
    ! Preview of Embedded Thumbnails in PSD Files: Same problem with Unicode 
      characters as above. Fixed.

v22.20.0201 - 2021-09-09 12:00
    + User-defined Preview Handlers: Now you can force the bitness (32 or 64) of 
      the process that attempts to employ the preview handler. This is useful if 
      you know that the handler only exists in a particular bitness, so trying the 
      other bitness would just be a waste of time and energy.
      Another advantage is that this setting overrides the global settings "Use 
      64-bit preview handlers for preview" and "Fall back to preview handlers of 
      the other bitness" so that you have finer control over the bitness now.
      Fictitious examples:
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Pattern                                           Bitness
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        pdf>{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583}        depends on global settings
        pdf>{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583}>32     32 only
        pdf>{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583}>64     64 only
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    % Startup became slow if any of the boxes under "Configuration | Colors and 
      Styles | Styles | Clipboard Markers" was ticked and the clipboard 
      contained many items (> 4000). Now Clipboard Markers are not shown on 
      startup when more than 4000 items are in the clipboard.
    > Speed Tip: Copying many items (say > 4000) to the clipboard is much faster 
      if you untick the checkboxes under "Configuration | Colors and styles | 
      Styles | Clipboard markers".
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Always autosize the 
      Size column: Did not work if the list was showing folder sizes. Fixed.

    + Panes | Sync Select...: Added option "Select Different Content" to select 
      all name matches with a different content.
      By default the content is compared using SHA-256 hashing.
    + Added a tweak to control the hashing method used by "Panes | Sync Select | 
      Select Different Content". It factory defaults to 4 (SHA-256), and any
      value different from 1-5 falls back to 4 (SHA-256):
        SelSpecContentCheck=4          '1=ByteToByte, 2=MD5, 3=SHA-1, 4=SHA-256, 5=SHA-512
    + Added a tweak to fiddle with the fatness of the primary and secondary sort 
      arrows (sorry, I was bored):
        SortArrowFat=1  'make them 1 pixel fatter than normal
        SortArrowFat=2  'make them 2 pixels fatter than normal
        ... etc ...

    + List: Added a tweak to ignore the column header on autosize:
        AutoSizeIgnoreHeader=1
    * Tools | Customize List | Autosize Columns: Now when you turn it on,
      "Autofit the width of the Name column" is applied right away as well if 
      enabled.

Code: Select all

v22.20.0000 - 2021-08-31 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Autofit the Name Column. Now you can let the Name column automatically 
      take up all of the space not used by the other columns. A simple check 
      mark saves you a lot of scrolling and dragging. So useful that you'll 
      stick with it forever.
  +++ Autosize the Size Column. The Size column is the one with the most 
      variable content, the one that's typically always either too wide or too 
      narrow. With this option, the width of the Size column is automatically 
      adjusted when positions are changed or tabs are switched or when a new 
      column layout is loaded.
  +++ Secondary Sort Order Arrow. Now you can indicate the implicit secondary 
      sort order by a very light little sort arrow. You'll love it if you're 
      nerd enough.
  +++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Cedric Burnside.

To download the latest OFFICIAL version choose a package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

    * SC get("previewhandler"): Reorganized the return. Now it might look like 
      this:
        Previewed Extension: msg
        Preview Handler: Outlook MAPI Mail Previewer [32-bit]
        Display Name: @C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MAPISHELL.DLL,-127
        GUID: {435FDBA0-964C-43A7-8AFF-CC94E21B2249}
        Initialization: IInitializeWithItem
      Or like this when previewed via XY64.exe;
        Previewed Extension: docx
        Preview Handler: Microsoft Word-Vorschau [64-bit]
        Display Name: Microsoft Word-Vorschau
        GUID: {84f66100-ff7c-4fb4-b0c0-02cd7fb668fe}
        Initialization: IInitializeWithFile
      As you see, due to the lacking Windows documentation every Preview Handler 
      just registers more or less as it feels like. We're in outlaw zone.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.134.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.134.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:

v22.10.0208 - 2021-08-30 14:00
    + List | Attr Column: Now the file attributes are displayed by default in a 
      modern narrow style (without all those hyphens). For example:
        BEFORE: ----A-----I----
        NOW:    AI
      You can toggle the display style (go back to the old DOS Attributes style) 
      by Ctrl+Right-clicking any item in the Attr column. Then click "Show 
      Attributes in DOS Style".
      This setting is global for all modes, tabs, panes, and reports.
    > UPGRADERS: Upgraders can use this toggle to turn on the new style.
    * List | Attr Column: Now the N ("Normal") attribute is suppressed (not 
      shown) by default. This is because this attribute is totally pointless: It 
      *always and only* shows when an item has none of the other attributes.
      The suppression of Normal is done by setting the new key "AttrSuppressed" 
      to 128 which happens to be the value for FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL.
        AttrSuppressed=128
      It's a bit field, so you can add values if you want to suppress other 
      attributes. E.g. FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY is 16, and 
      FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE is 32. To hide D, A, and N do this (16+32+128):
        AttrSuppressed=176    
      Look up these values by searching the web for "File Attribute Constants".
      BTW, to suppress nothing do this:
        AttrSuppressed=0
    > UPGRADERS: While the new factory default is 128, upgraders have to 
      manually tweak the value.
    + Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Find...: Now the dialog will 
      open on Ctrl+F3.
      It will also open on Shift+F3 if it has not been opened and used before 
      within this Configuration session. After a search has been done Shift+F3 
      will repeat that search.
    + Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Find...: Now you get a 
      message when a repeated search (Shift+F3) doesn't find any other match, e.g.:
        No other matches found for "pdf".
      When there is more than one match the search cycles through the hits.
    + Find List Item: Now, in all small lists, you get a message when a repeated 
      search (Shift+F4) doesn't find any other match, e.g.:
        No other matches found for "Terminator".
      When there is more than one match the search cycles through the hits.
    ! MSG Preview: Didn't work anymore for some users since v22.10.0206. Fixed.

v22.10.0207 - 2021-08-29 14:12
    + SC get("previewhandler"): Added a little debugging thing to learn about 
      the currently active preview handler. When you don't pass the "extension" 
      parameter, some lines of information are now returned.
      Example:
        text get("previewhandler"); //while a preview is shown
      Example return #1:
        Previewed extension: msg
        Preview handler bitness: 32-bit
        Preview handler: Outlook MAPI Mail Previewer
        Preview handler GUID: {435FDBA0-964C-43A7-8AFF-CC94E21B2249}
        Initialization type: IInitializeWithItem
      Example return #2:
        Previewed extension: pdf
        Preview handler bitness: 64-bit
        Preview handler: PDF-XChange PDF Preview Provider
        Preview handler GUID: {CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583} [User-Defined]
        Initialization type: IInitializeWithStream
      Example return #3:
        No preview handler is used.
    * XY64: Updated to 1.0.0.24.
    - Re-excluded MSG files from the 64-bit preview. Still does not work.
    ! Dark Mode: Since 20210724 the "info" icon was shown as the "nope" icon in 
      Dark Mode in certain contexts. Fixed.

v22.10.0206 - 2021-08-28 16:08
    + Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort: Added option "Show 
      implicit secondary sort order arrow". Tick it to show the implicit 
      secondary sort order (if any) by a very light small sort arrow.      
      FYI, this option raises tweak SortSecondaryShowAlways to UI.
    - MSG files have been excluded from the 64-bit preview in v20.90.0917 - 
      2020-08-31 13:26 because it just did not work. Experimentally this 
      exclusion has now been removed.
    % MSG Preview: Improved the speed of the 32-bit MSG Preview.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Minimum / Maximum tab width in 
      pixels: Since 20210628 the maximum could not go below 250. Fixed. The 
      limit for both fields is 25; the defaults are 25 / 250.

v22.10.0205 - 2021-08-25 13:31
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns: Added option 
      "Autofit the width of the Name column". Tick it to let the Name column 
      take up all of the space not used by the other columns.
      FYI, this option raises tweak ListAutoMaxNameColumn to UI.
    - Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Adaptive name 
      column width: Removed that feature. It finally worked well (after an 
      initial time of problems) but the whole concept was not really intuitive 
      and unnecessarily complex. The new "Autofit the width of the Name column" 
      achieves basically the same with a simpler approach and, by the way, much 
      less code.
    ! Configuration: The undocumented Ctrl+Right-Click function to display 
      breadcrumb paths to each option has received some minor bugs recently. 
      Fix #3.

    + SC input() enhanced: Now the "width" parameter is used with style "s" 
      (default style) if you pass it.
        echo input("Test", 5:=1000);
      Also the "notes" parameter is not limited internally to 20 lines anymore
