Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v26.90.0004 - 2025-02-19 12:12
    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters | 
      Toggle on same filter: Appended Live Filters (experimental still!) now obey this as 
      well. For example, doing this repeatedly through the address bar toggles the live 
      filter:
        E:\Test\|L>txt
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters | 
      Toggle on same filter: Appended Visual Filters did not obey anymore (unclear since 
      when; or did it ever work?). Fixed. For example, doing this repeatedly through the 
      address bar toggles the visual filter:
        E:\Test\|txt
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      The change from v26.80.0504 - 2025-02-12 18:52 is now bound to a tweak:
        ListFullNameSelectLeftClick=1
      Set it to 1 to have "Full name column select" only on left click.
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

:!!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and may contain new bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA. This will also help to fix any new bugs.

    + Live Filters: Experimentally, you can now append a Live Filter directly to a 
      location string, e.g. in the address bar. The syntax is analogous to appending 
      Visual Filters (which has worked for many years), but the separator is not just | 
      but |L>. For example:
        C:\Windows|L>log
        %USERNAME%|L>log
        |L>txt
      This gives you the ability to pack your Live Filters directly into your favorite 
      folders and many other places, including scripting (alternative to SC filter):
        goto "|L>log";  //live filter this list by "log"
        goto "|L>";     //remove any live filter

    ! Environment Variables: Variable %rapidaccess% remained empty when the the command 
      line contained any environment variables.
    > FYI, you can use %rapidaccess% itself in the command line, but the return will be 
      a hard English "Rapid Access" (no Multilingual Support), because language is not yet 
      initialized at this point. So you can just as well use "Rapid Access" right away.

v26.80.0408 - 2025-02-08 13:10
    ! SC asc: Had some bugs and limitations that strangely went undetected for many years.
      - Definition in Help: "Returns the ASCII value of a character."
        Since the function always supported 2-byte Unicode characters, the definition 
        should rather be: "Returns the Unicode codepoint of a character."
        The name "asc" is retained for backward compatibility.
      - A large range of characters returned negative numbers, although the return is 
        defined as "ASCII value, range 0-65535 (0xFFFF)".
        For example:
          echo asc("龍"); //-24691  -> should be 40845
        This is fixed now.
        BTW, the complementary function chr() surprisingly tolerates the signed version of 
        the codepoint:
          echo chr(40845);  //龍
          echo chr(-24691); //龍
      - The function now also supports 4-byte Unicode characters, aka surrogate pairs.
        The return is now defined as "codepoint, range 0-1114111 (0x10FFFF)".
          echo asc("𝕿"); //120191
    + SC asc: Added a parameter to format the return value.
      Syntax: asc(string, [format])
        format:
          missing:  Return decimal value.
          H:        Return raw hex value.
          X:        Return prefixed hex value (eg 0x9F8D).
          U:        Return Unicode Number (eg U+9F8D).
          B:        Return hex values of bytes (Little Endian) instead of codepoint.
                    Makes a difference only with surrogate pairs.
          A:        Enforce ANSI code page.
      Examples:
        echo asc("𝕿");    //120191
        echo asc("𝕿", H); //1D57F
        echo asc("𝕿", U); //U+1D57F
        echo asc("𝕿", B); //DD7FD835
        echo asc("€");    //8364
        echo asc("€", X); //0x20AC
        echo asc("€", A); //128 (might differ depending on locale)
        // chr() and asc() complement each other:
        echo chr(asc("龍")); //龍
        echo chr(eval("0x".asc("龍", H)));  //龍
        echo chr(asc("𝕿")); //𝕿
        echo chr(eval("0x".asc("𝕿", H)));  //𝕿
        echo asc(chr(40845)); //40845
        echo asc(chr(0x9F8D), X); //0x9F8D
        echo asc(chr(0x1D57F), X); //0x1D57F
