v21.30.0019 - 2020-12-08 20:18
! Last version had some issues, probably because of the new screen DPI code.
Removed that for now.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all
v21.30.0018 - 2020-12-08 19:22
! Custom Event Actions | Double-click on white in breadcrumb bar: The "Copy
path" action was not implemented and the "Run script" did not work when
selected. Fixed.

v21.30.0017 - 2020-12-08 18:57
+ Variable <get trigger> enhanced: Now it can return the combined shift
buttons value at the moment the current script was called. To return
this info set the "mode" parameter to "callshift".
Syntax: <get trigger [mode=mousebtn]>
mode:
callshift: Returns combined shift button value at the moment the
current script was called.
The Shift keys have the following values that can be
combined in a bit field:
Shift = 1
Ctrl = 2
Alt = 4
Note:
The value is never reset within the running session, so you get retrieve
it even hours after the last script was called.
Example 1:
echo "<get trigger callshift>"; // e.g. 3 = Ctrl+Shift was held down
// e.g. 0 = no button was held down
Example 2 (use it in a CEA as proof of concept...):
status get("trigger", "callshift");
* Custom Event Actions: Minor cosmetic improvements.
* Screen: Implemented a new way to determine the screen DPI in a
multi-monitor setup. Works from Win8 onwards.

v21.30.0015 - 2020-12-07 21:49
! Configuration Dialog: In a multi-monitor setup the window could open with
non-optimal dimensions under certain conditions, leading to unnecessary
scrollbars. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.30.0014 - 2020-12-07 18:28
! Custom Event Actions: The width of the Script column was set to zero when
there was no script anywhere. Fixed.

v21.30.0013 - 2020-12-07 14:51
+ Custom Event Actions: Now they are listed under the "Jump to Setting..."
button and can be jumped to.
+ Custom Event Actions: Now the beginnings of the scripts are shown in the
list. A blue dot tells you that a "Run Script" action is active. A red dot
tells you that no script yet exists to be run by this action.
* Custom Event Actions: Changed the keys to something more memorable and
practical:
F11: pop the actions menu for the selected action.
F12: pop the Edit Script dialog for the selected action.
Code: Select all
v21.30.0012 - 2020-12-06 14:13
+ Custom Event Actions: Added more events. And added "Run script" as
possible action to each event.
- Note that "Middle-click on folder" affects Tree, List, Catalog, and
Breadcrumb.
- Whereas "Middle-click on file" is currently only implemented for List.
+ Custom Event Actions: Added some keyboard support to the list.
F2: pop the actions menu for the selected action.
F6: pop the Edit Script dialog for the selected action.
- Removed the following options since they are now included in CEA:
Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Middle-click opens folder in new tab
Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Foreground tab
Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Middle-click goes to file in new tab
Code: Select all
v21.30.0011 - 2020-12-04 17:21
* Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Completely new interface.
It's not finished yet but it basically works. Left-click the cells in the
Action and Script columns to make your choices / edits.
* Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Now the "Go up" action
supports the same keyboard modifications as the "Nothing" action:
- hold CTRL: Scroll current item into view
- hold CTRL+SHIFT: Scroll to top
- hold SHIFT: Go down
Code: Select all
v21.30.0010 - 2020-12-02 13:06
+ Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Added more events.
Note that, especially on "On right-click on white...", some options have
been reordered, so check your choices.
* Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Lots of tiny cosmetic
changes to yesterday's first approach.
- Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Double-click
on empty space goes up: Removed this option. It's now covered by Custom
Event Actions "On dbl-click on white in folder tree/file list" -> "Go up".
* On changing locations run script after browsing: The script was run after
browsing but before painting. This would make scripts useless that painted
something onto the list, e.g.:
if (<newpath> Like "*\Desk") {makecoffee;}
Solution: Now the script is called after painting.
Note: This might not always be the best moment depending on the script.
Might add an option "After painting" later.
* On changing locations run script ...: Now the script is also run when the
location is the same but the tab was switched.
> FYI, on startup the after browse script is run *after* any script passed
via command line.

v21.30.0008 - 2020-12-01 18:28
+++ Configuration: Added a new page "Custom Event Actions" to the first
section "General". All (or most of) the tweaks of the last 12 CEA years
will go here one by one. 12 years of meditation. Time for some action.
+ Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Added CEA "On dbl-click on
empty in folder tree". You have these options:
- Default
- Go to top
- Go up
- Go back
- Scroll current node into view
- Refresh
- Run script
There is a button to enter/edit the script.
Remarks:
- You can enter multiline scripts. So you don't have to load files anymore
if your scripts are longer than one line.
- The position and dimensions of the edit window is shared with the script
edit window you open from Scripting | Run Script...
- This raises the tweaks CEA_TreeDoubleClickOnWhite and
CEA_TreeDoubleClickOnWhite_Script to UI.
+ Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Added CEA "On dbl-click on
empty in file list". All the same as above.
- This raises the tweaks CEA_ListDoubleClickOnWhite and
CEA_ListDoubleClickOnWhite_Script to UI.
+ Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Added CEA "On changing
locations". You have 2 checkboxes:
- On changing locations run script before browsing
- On changing locations run script after browsing
Each has a button to enter/edit the script.
Remarks:
- FYI, this action is also called on startup (the first location counts as
a new location), and for each pane.
- This raises the tweaks CEA_OnBrowse and CEA_OnBrowse_Script to UI. Plus
totally revises their logic.
- This Custom Event Action is very, very powerful. If you know a bit about
scripting this can be a game changer. And if you don't you now have a
good reason to learn it.
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.126.

v21.30.0006 - 2020-12-01 12:23
* Custom Event Actions (CEA): Renamed yesterday's tweaks to CEA_OnBrowse and
CEA_OnBrowse_Script.
> Tip: Now it's easy to achieve a folder-specific sort order using SC
sortbylist. For example, to have any "Readme.txt" and "License.txt" files
and then all *.exe files on top of anything else, for all folders in a
"Program Files" branch, you could use this script in a file called e.g.
"SortAfterBrowse.xys"...
if (<newpath> Like "*\Program Files\*") {
sortbylist "Readme.txt|License.txt|*.exe", "|";
}
... and set the tweaks like this:
CEA_OnBrowse=2
CEA_OnBrowse_Script=load "SortAfterBrowse"
% Scripting: Made it a little faster, especially notable in loops with many
rounds and little work.
Code: Select all
v21.30.0005 - 2020-11-30 13:17
+ Custom Event Actions (CEA): Now you can run or load a script at the event
of browsing to a new folder. Note that there is no action when the current
folder is rebrowsed, i.e. refreshed.
Like all CEAs, it is currently only implemented as a tweak.
Example for the tweaked INI file:
; Tweak: 0=None, 1=Before Browse, 2=After Browse, 3=Both
CEA_OnBrowseScript=1
CEA_OnBrowseScript_Script=echo "Hi!"
You would probably use a script that loads some script file that does
some interesting things. This would load "AfterBrowse.xys" (located in the
Scripts subfolder of the app data folder) after browsing a folder:
CEA_OnBrowseScript=2
CEA_OnBrowseScript_Script=load "AfterBrowse"
To do something useful the script should know about the new path. You can
refer to it by the new variable <newpath>. It will return the full new
path, without trailing backslash. For example:
CEA_OnBrowseScript=1
CEA_OnBrowseScript_Script=echo "Going to <newpath>."
If you want to call one script before and another script after the browse
you can pass 2 scripts separated by "||":
CEA_OnBrowseScript=3
CEA_OnBrowseScript_Script=echo "Going to <newpath>."||echo "Went to <newpath>."
! Folder Contents Preview: The width of the popup was a little too wide
sometimes. Fixed.
> Added three events to the debug log conc. multi-monitor systems.
Code: Select all
v21.30.0004 - 2020-11-29 14:45
+ Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Hide extensions from
rename edit box: Now you can also (additionally to the Right key) press the
End key to "move" the extension into the rename box.
So, to quickly rename the extension while "Hide extensions from rename
edit box" is enabled you press the sequence F2 - End - End.
+ Autosize Columns: By default Autosize Columns will not set it on lists
with more than 32767 items. Reason: It takes time, so there should be a
limit. Now, however, there is a tweak by which you can define that limit
yourself:
AutosizeColumnsMaxNumber=100000
If set to 0 the default is used (32767).
If set to -1 there is no limit at all.
* Find Files and Quick Search: The /p=[depth] works a little different now.
If there are no folders in relative level 5 than nothing is returned:
*.jpg /p=5
Before, it would return the folder o the highest available level.
! Find Files and Quick Search: The /x=[depth] still did not work correctly.
Fixed.
! Tools | Customize List | Hide Extensions: If the Hide Extensions was set
the extension in the rename box didn't appear even if the option "Hide
extensions from rename edit box" was unticked. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v21.30.0003 - 2020-11-27 14:53
+ Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons |
Folder contents preview: Added "Sorted by". So now you have some control
over the sorting in the Folder Contents Preview (incl. the Hover Box on
folders).
Name = Name, ascending
Modified = Modified date, descending
Created = Created date, descending
Accessed = Accessed date, descending
+ Hover Box: While the Hover Box is showing for a folder, you can cycle the
sort order by pressing the "O" (letter o) key.
! Find Files and Quick Search: The /x=[depth] did not work yet correctly.
Tried a fix.
