Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Code: Select all

v19.80.0000 - 2019-03-12 14:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Multi-User-Tagging. The concept of Multi-User-Tagging, i.e. sharing file 
      tags within a networked team, is around for quite a while in XYplorer, but 
      the first implementation lacked power, comfort, and elegance. Not anymore.
      If you are looking for a way to implement a shared tagging system, you 
      found it. Easy setup, fast automatic real-time synchronization, access 
      control, and a large number of independent fields (Label, Tags, Comment, 
      and 16 freely definable Extra Tags) for each file.
      Give it a try, annotate a file and have all your team members see your 
      notes in real-time in their file manager. And see their comments in your 
      file manager. Your team is fully connected.
  +++ Status Log. Now the last 1000 changes in the Status Bar are permanently 
      logged. It might be interesting to see what those rapidly changing Status 
      Bar messages actually said, or what exactly you were doing 15 minutes ago. 
      Now you can find out.
  +++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Fanny, "The Godmothers of 
      Chick Rock."

      command "Show Status Log". Does what it says.
    * Updated the help file.

    ! MP3 Properties: When stored in DBCS code the ID3 properties were not 
      decoded correctly in all places of the interface. Fixed. Note that the bug 
      here is actually in the storage. Now XY works around it. Explorer does 
      not. :)

v19.70.0120 - 2019-03-10 16:02
    + List: Added tweak to customize the colors of the column headers. Specify 
      the color in RRGGBB|RRGGBB format (backcolor|textcolor), e.g.:
        ListColumnHeaderColors=BFDAFE|223344
      You can omit the text color to have it auto-generated by artificial 
      intelligence:
        ListColumnHeaderColors=BFDAFE
      FYI, now you can also have completely white column headers, e.g.:
        ListColumnHeaderColors=FFFFFF|555555
      Note that in Dark Mode your colors will be smart-darkened.

v19.70.0118 - 2019-03-09 12:29
    * Info Panel: Unified the Attributes names.
      - Properties:               Folder -> Directory
      - Find Files | Attributes:  Not content indexed -> Not indexed
    + Info Panel | Find Files | Attributes: Now, just for your nerdy pleasure, 
      the attributes checkboxes show the value of each attribute in the tooltip.
    + Dark Mode: made dark versions for four Toolbar buttons (here the 
      keys for the dark graphic versions):
      - ghostdark     (hmmm, could have made a white ghost with black eyes, maybe later...)
      - hideosdark
      - icfdark       (redone)
      - paperdark
    ! View | Show Items | Show Hidden Files and Folders: Possible flicker in the 
      List when toggling this and other visibility settings. Fixed.

v19.70.0117 - 2019-03-08 17:46
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /E by which you can force 
      Extended Pattern Matching for this particular search even if 
      "Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | 
      Enable extended pattern matching" if OFF.
      Examples for Quick Search patterns:
        !lbl:?* /n    //finds items without any label (regardless of being in tag DB, maybe), non-recursive
        !lbl:?* /nE   //finds items without any label (regardless of being in tag DB, always), non-recursive
      The first version needs "Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & 
      Branch View | Find Files | Enable extended pattern matching" to be ticked. 
      Not nice. The second version always works.
      BTW, the same as /E could already be achieved by the extended switch 
      "/matching=e":
        !lbl:?* /n /matching=e
      ... but the new way is just a little cooler.
    * Toolbar | Find by Label: Finding by "None" did not work as probably 
      expected. Changed that by applying a new syntax that uses the brand-new /E 
      switch. For example, with "Search Here" selected in the button's 
      right-click menu:
        OLD: lbl:"" /n       //finds items here without any label (but being in tag DB)
        NEW: !lbl:?* /nE     //finds items here without any label (regardless of being in tag DB)
      Note: If you "Search Everywhere" the "t" (= search in tags database only) 
      switch is now auto-provided to spare you from plowing through all your 
      disks.
        This PC?!lbl:?* /rEt    //finds items without any label (but being in tag DB)
    + Info Panel | Properties: The following file attributes can actually be set 
      by the user, so these checkboxes are now enabled:
      - Temporary
      - Offline
      - Not indexed
      Whether it makes sense to change those attributes is another question. 
      It's a free country, act responsibly.
    + Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy 
      Operations: Added option "Default to repeat action on collisions". Tick it 
      to initialize the "Do this also for the next collisions" checkbox to be 
      checked.
      Note that this setting affects Custom Copy/Move, Backup, and Sync 
      operations.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0144.
    % Toolbar: The buttons "labels" and "findlabel" now got a dark mode special 
      version. Note that these are the "None" variants of the buttons.
    ! Small Toolbars: With "XYplorer Classic Style" highlighting the hover 
      effect was wrong after switching to Dark Mode. Fixed.
    ! Tools | Customize Toolbar...: The buttons lists did not show the Dark Mode 
      variants of those buttons that have them. Fixed.

v19.70.0116 - 2019-03-07 17:14
    + File Attributes: Added 3 new file attributes to the attributes on the 
      Properties tab and on the Attributes tab (Find Files), and to the 
      Attributes (Attr) column in the list.
        - Pinned    = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_PINNED = 0x00080000
        - Unpinned  = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_UNPINNED = 0x00100000
        - Recall    = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_DATA_ACCESS = 0x00400000
      To reference the new attributes in Visual Filters or Color Filters use 
      these letters (note that contrary to other attributes there are no 
      alternative full words available, just single letters):
        - Pinned    = p
        - Unpinned  = u
        - Recall    = l
      For example, (Visual Filters or Color Filters):
        attr:l               = Recall attribute set
        attrlist:pul         = Pinned AND Unpinned AND Recall attribute set
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added two Search Pattern Prefixes (aka 
      Selectors) that were curiously missing, "attr" and "attrlist", which will 
      let you search for NTFS file attributes.
      The syntax is identical to the one used in Visual Filters and Color 
      Filters. So, for example, now you can search for read-only items like 
      this:
        attr:readonly
        attr:r
      If you look for a combination of attributes, e.g. readonly AND directory, 
      you do it like this:
        attrlist:rd
    + Added tweak to enable fallback to horizontal scrolling if vertical 
      scrolling is not possible when using the mouse wheel.
        WheelFallbackToHorizontal=1
      Notes:
      - Previously it was hard-coded to ON.
      - Affects Tree and List.
      - When OFF you can still use the wheel over the horizontal scrollbar.
      - When OFF you can still hold SHIFT to force horizontal scrolling.
    ! SC self: Did not return the expected values for "file", "path", and "base" 
      when called from a user function. Fixed.

    * File | To Clipboard: Keyboard shortcuts for the commands in this menu now 
      work everywhere, not just in Tree and List.
      The top 6 items of the menu now behave as-if-in-Tree when the focus is not 
      in the List.
    ! Panes | Move Tab to Other Pane: A named tab lost its caption after moving 
      it to the other pane. Fixed.
    ! Panes | Copy Tab to Other Pane: A named tab lost its caption after copying 
      it to the other pane. Fixed.
    ! Message Boxes: Many message boxes triggered from child windows of the main 
      window were not modal though they should have been. Fixed.
    ! URL as Location: Since 20190222 you could not open an URL anymore in the 
      default browser via Address Bar or Catalog. The new URI scheme support got 
      a bit out of hand. Fixed.

    * View | Folder View Settings | Edit...: Redesigned the dialog.
      - Added a checkbox "Visual filter". So now you can toggle it off without 
        removing the filter definition. Always nice.
      - The "Make Default" button now does what its slightly modified tooltip 
        tries to get across: Make current settings (checkboxes) the default for 
        new Folder Views.
        So now it also includes the settings of the top three checkboxes "Match 
        case", "Include subfolders", and "Visual filter".
        Of course, it does not include the folder and the filter.
    * Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Save changes to 
      disk immediately: Now, if "Apply To..." includes "Tags" then the tags 
      database is auto-saved on these conditions:
      - On item copy IF "Configuration | Information | Tags | Copy tags on 
        copy operations" is ticked.
      - On item backup/sync IF "Configuration | Information | Tags | Copy tags 
        on backup and sync operations" is ticked.
      - On item move.
      - On item rename.

v19.70.0113 - 2019-02-28 11:03
    + Access Control: Added key "ReadonlyTagsDB" to section [AccessControl] in 
      Admin.ini. Here you can specify a full filename or wildcard pattern to match 
      a tags database that should be readonly for the user. That way the admin 
      can protect one or more databases from the user while allowing him to 
      write to others.
      Reason: Since the new "Load Tags Database..." command it's so easy to 
      switch databases that it makes sense to refine the means of control.
      Examples:
        [AccessControl]
        ReadonlyTagsDB=\\North\Share\XY\SharedTags.dat        ;exclude this particular database
        ReadonlyTagsDB=*\SharedTags.dat                       ;exclude all databases called SharedTags.dat
        ReadonlyTagsDB=*                                      ;exclude all databases
        ReadonlyTagsDB=                                       ;exclude none (or just drop the key)
      Note that a similar effect could already be achieved previously by setting 
      the eAPDisallow_Write_Tags bit (512) to the "Profile" key, however, this 
      way *all* tags databases would be readonly:
        [Settings]
        Profile=512
    * Installer: Did not pop the UAC prompt when run with "User" rights. Could 
      not make it pop, instead now you get a message when you run the installer 
      as non-Admin:
        Note that you have to run the installer as Administrator if you want to 
        install XYplorer in a UAC protected location.
        To do so now press Cancel to exit the installer, then right-click the 
        installer executable and select 'Run as Administrator'.

v19.70.0112 - 2019-02-27 19:12
    * Tags | Reload Tags Database: Refined the logic.
      - Non-dirty items are fully replaced with the imported items: All current 
        fields are set to the imported values. So non-empty fields might end up 
        empty.
      - Dirty items are merged with the imported items: Only if the current 
        field is empty and the imported field is not, then the current field is 
        set to the imported value. So non-empty fields will not be changed. 
        Reason: Your not-yet-saved tags are protected this way. Otherwise the 
        auto-refresh of the tags (Configuration | Tags | Auto-refresh tags) 
        would destroy them.
    + SC tagload enhanced: Now you can import header data (Labels and Extra 
      Tags) as well.
      Syntax: tagload([db], [mode])
        mode:
          0 = (re)load  [Default] (fully update/replace the current data)
          1 = import    (permanently merge into current DB)
          2 = include   (temporarily merge into current DB in memory; not saved to disk)
          3 = import with header data (Labels, Extra Tags)
          Note: If [db] is missing then [mode] is internally set to 0.
        return:   The full path of the loaded/reloaded/imported tags database.
      Remarks:
        - mode 1 and 2: All header data (Labels, Extra Tags) are taken from the 
          current DB; header data from the imported DB are totally discarded.
        - mode 0 and 3: All header data (Labels, Extra Tags) are taken from the 
          imported DB. Extra column headers and Label colors are auto-updated.
      Examples:
        tagload("XYplorerTag.dat", 1); //import "XYplorerTag.dat" (without header data)
        tagload("XYplorerTag.dat", 3); //import "XYplorerTag.dat" (with header data)
    ! Menu Tags | Import Local Tags: Did not import new or modified Labels 
      (colors, captions) and new or modified Extra Tags (columns headers and 
      definitions). Fixed.
