v21.20.0102 - 2020-10-29 19:54
    * Scripting: To have better control about the outcome and independence of 
      the user settings in Configuration, now when a search is called by a 
      script:
      - The setting of "Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch 
        View | Find Files | Show quick search results in current tab" is 
        ignored and internally treated as being ticked.
      - The setting of "Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch 
        View | Find Files | Show search results in" is ignored and internally 
        treated being "Current tab".
      These examples now yield predictable and expected outcomes independently 
      of the above user settings:
        goto("<xypath>?/n");        //run search in current tab
        tab("new", "<xypath>?/n");  //run search in new tab

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.

    ! Quick Search: Both of these terms should be equivalent and search two 
      locations, %commondesktop% and %desktopreal%, but only the first one 
      worked:
        %commondesktop%;%desktopreal%? /n
        %commondesktop%|%desktopreal%? /n
      Fixed.
    ! Catalog: Crash when pressing INS while no item was selected. Fixed.

v21.20.0002 - 2020-10-18 18:07
    + Added tweak to get rid of the preselection when an edit box gets focused:
        FocusNoPreselect=1
      Now the yesterday's tweak, RenameNoPreselect, does not apply on focus 
      anymore.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Hide extensions from 
      rename edit box: Moving the extension into the rename box via right-arrow 
      did not work in thumbs mode (which uses multiline edit boxes). Fixed.
    ! Home Edition: These features were erroneously available in the Home 
      Edition since v21.10.0006. Fixed.
      - Custom File Associations
      - Network Server Caching
    ! Tabs: Buttons "New Tab" and "Tab List" were not drawn on resolutions > 
      200%. Fixed.

v21.20.0001 - 2020-10-17 14:36
    + Added tweak to get rid of the preselection when entering a rename box:
        RenameNoPreselect=1
      Currently it's implemented in a way that also skips preselection when 
      focusing a text box in various places of the interface.
    * Menu Go | Recent Locations...: Raised the number from 64 to 128. This 
      affects a number of features that use the Recent Locations (e.g. Go | 
      Hotlist..., toolbar buttons "Copy to Recent Locations", "Move to Recent 
      Locations", Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Select last 
      used subfolder, and many more).
    ! Home Edition: The Dual Pane feature went AWOL since v21.10.0006. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v21.20.0000 - 2020-10-15 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Rename Without Extensions. Now you can completely hide the extensions from 
      the inline rename box. It's relaxing to have them out of the way. Very 
      rarely you want to change the extension of a file anyway.
  +++ Set Archive Attribute. Now you can automatically set the archive attribute 
      on all recursive contents a renamed folder. This allows backup operations 
      by programs like XCOPY to decide what has to be backed up.
  +++ Swap Panes. Now you can swap the positions of both panes, including tabs, 
      breadcrumbs, and the pane dimensions. Good news for left-to-right draggers.
  +++ Buttons In Catalog. Now you can easily add toolbar buttons with their 
      icons, captions, and functionality to the Catalog. So the Catalog can 
      serve as a second, vertical toolbar.
  +++ Backup Logged. Backup and sync operations are now added to the action log. 
      You cannot undo them (that would be meaningless) but you have them nicely 
      logged now, so you can look up what you have done and when.
  +++ Autosize Name Column Right Margin. Isn't it annoying when on autosize the 
      name column springs to a width far beyond the window edge where you cannot 
      see it anyway, and where you're forced to horizontally scroll the list to 
      enable you to manually grab the column separator to make it smaller again? 
      Not anymore! Now you can define a minimal margin from the right window 
      edge. The name column will not go beyond this margin on autosize.
  +++ Adaptive Name Column Width. Tick it to soften the width of the name column 
      when resizing the list so that all other columns keep their width and 
      visibility. Try it, you will quickly get used to it.
  +++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Norah Jones.

    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter 
      Box | Persistent live filters: From now on this setting only affects 
      the persistence of live filters when changing locations within the current 
      tab. Independently of this setting live filters now *always* persist 
      across tab switches and across sessions.

    * File | To Clipboard: All commands in the submenu now apply to the selected 
      list items, no matter where the focus is. Exceptions: The focus is in the 
      folder tree, or there are no selections in the file list: then the 
      commands apply to the current path.
    ! Color Filters: Due to a recent bug a non-matching color filter could take 
      over everything under certain conditions. Fixed.

v21.10.0042 - 2020-10-12 19:14
    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort filenames by base: 
      Now it also affects the sort order in the Hover Box on folders and in 
      "Mouse Up Show Down" (Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse 
      Up on Folder Icons | Folder contents preview).
    * Tabs: Left- or right-clicking tabs or tab bar buttons while getting folder 
      sizes did nothing before getting folder sizes was completed. Now it stops 
      getting folder sizes at first click. When you click again you will be able 
      to do what you wanted to do.
    ! Layout: When dragging a splitter while holding ALT it would not work as 
      expected and the "dragging" mouse cursor would stick. Fixed.

v21.10.0040 - 2020-10-07 12:43
    + SC tab enhanced: New operations "clone"/"cloneb" create a new 
      foreground/background clone of the current tab.
        tab("clone");
        tab("cloneb");
    ! Color Filters: The description of the new recursive switch syntax in 
      v21.10.0036 - 2020-10-05 12:26 was erroneous! Here is the correction:
      Added a switch to assign a color filter to a folder and all of its 
      subfolders.
      The switch is "/r" (= recurse subfolders) and it has to be appended to the 
      selector (including any scope suffix) separated by a single space.
      Examples:
        Pattern             Auto-adjusted to     Match           No Match
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------
        dir:"code"          *\code\              C:\code\        C:\code\sub\
        dir /r:"code"       *\code\*             C:\code\
                                                 C:\code\sub\
        name d /r:"code"    *\code\*             C:\code\
                                                 C:\code\sub\
      Notes:
      - As you see, the switch can be emulated like this (but only since today's 
        version thanks to some internal changes):
          dir:*\code\*
      - You could also use non-exact patterns (dir /r:code) for broader matching 
        (internally used pattern: *\*code*\*).

v21.10.0039 -2020-10-06 17:34
    + Scripting: Now you can add a prefix to each command to modify its 
      behavior. Currently one prefix is implemented:
        e       = skip the big error debugging dialog
      The prefix is separated from the command by | (pipe). For example, when 
      you run this command in the drives listing:
        rename , '*-<datem yyyymmdd>';      //shows error dialog
        e|rename , '*-<datem yyyymmdd>';    //skips error dialog
    ! The Portable Openwith Menu showed the associated app of the *focused* item 
      if no items were selected in the list but it did not open it. Now it does.

v21.10.0038 - 2020-10-06 11:54
    + Address Bar: Added command "Show Trailing Slash" to the icon's right-click 
      menu. Tick it to show the trailing backslash for paths in the Address Bar 
      box and in the Find Files Location box.
    * Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Address Bar 
      paths include a trailing slash: Removed this option from Configuration. 
      Instead I added it to the Address Bar icon's right-click menu where it 
      belongs and is easily found. See above.
    + Address Bar: Added command "Open Files from Address Bar" to the icon's 
      right-click menu. Tick it to open a file via Address Bar right away 
      instead of browsing to its location. See v12.10.0003 - 2013-02-10 17:52 
      for details of this option.
    * Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Open files 
      from Address Bar: Removed this option from Configuration. Instead I added 
      it to the Address Bar icon's right-click menu where it belongs and is 
      easily found. See above.
    - Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Address Bar 
      relative to application path: Removed this option from UI. It's a crazy 
      behavior from the past that nobody in his right mind would ever use. I 
      leave it in as a tweak.

v21.10.0037 - 2020-10-05 19:22
    + Small List with Checkboxes: Here's a new little power user trick. Press F8 
      in the list (or in the Filter Box if there is one) to filter the list by 
      the checked state of the items. It cycles three states:
        - Show only checked
        - Show only unchecked
        - Show all
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters: That list was about the 
      last list without line numbers. I added them now because their coloring 
      shows whether the list is filtered or not. And now it can be filtered by 
      F8 (see above).
    > Miscellaneous | File Operations | Open Selected Item(s) by Shell: This 
      non-GUI command (#1057) was not working anymore in newer versions of 
      Windows 8 and 10 because on a whim they changed the capitalization of 
      certain key words that were guaranteed to be lower case before. Fixed. In 
      case ENTER or DblClick does not open a file, you can try this alternative 
      now (again). Let me know if it makes a difference. In theory it should be 
      equivalent to opening the item(s) via the 32-bit context menu's "Open" 
      command.
    + Address Bar: Added command "Show Real Path" to the icon's right-click 
      menu. Tick it to always show the real path with drive letter in the Address 
      Bar and in the Find Files Location box, even if the tree is located in a 
      "virtual" (or "special") path like "Desktop".
      Note that the distinction between virtual path and real path is lost with 
      "Show Real Path" enabled and in certain contexts the tree will end up in 
      the real path when it normally would (or should) end up in the virtual 
      path.
    * Toolbar | List Management: Now the popup menu on left button down allows 
      selection of a menu item on left button up. Saves one click.
    ! Tools | List Management | Boxed Branches...: The actual boxed branch 
      colors were not shown anymore. Fixed.
