v19.40.0002 - 2018-11-23 16:51
    * SC editconf: Completely redesigned the syntax, i.e. update your scripts 
      from yesterday!
      Syntax: editconf [flags], [filter], [file]
        flags: (bit field)
            1 = Before reading the file, the current configuration (usually 
                XYplorer.ini) is saved.
                That way you ensure that the file you are about to edit represents 
                the current state of the app.
            2 = Before reading the file, all settings are saved (including the 
                configuration file, so this includes flag 1).
                That way you ensure that the file you are about to edit represents 
                the current state of the app. And, if you later "restart without 
                saving" the app is in the same state as now (apart from your edits).
            4 = After OK-ing automatically restart XYplorer without saving. This 
                will apply the changes you made. Of course, this only makes sense 
                if you have been editing XYplorer.ini.
        filter: Preset the filter.
                Allows you to focus particular lines in the file right away.
        file:   Full path to the configuration file to edit.
                Defaults to this XYplorer's main INI file (usually XYplorer.ini).
      Examples:
        editconf;       //edit XYplorer.ini, no auto-restart
        editconf 1;     //edit XYplorer.ini, save config
        editconf 1 + 4; //edit XYplorer.ini, save config + auto-restart
        editconf , , "<xypath>\Startup.ini"; //edit this file
        editconf 4
        editconf , "ZipPath7zip=*";   //filter and preselect this line in XYplorer.ini
        editconf 5, "ZipPath7zip=*";  //save XYplorer.ini; filter and preselect this line; auto-restart

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

v19.40.0001 - 2018-11-22 19:12
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: EditConf
      Action: Displays a configuration file as editable list of lines.
      Syntax: editconf [file], [flags]
        file: Full path to the configuration file to edit.
              Defaults to XYplorer's main INI file (usually XYplorer.ini).
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = After OK-ing automatically restart XYplorer without saving. This 
              will apply the changes you made. Of course, this only makes sense 
              if you have been editing XYplorer.ini.
      Remarks:
        - In Lines Mode you cannot add or remove any lines, but just modify the 
          existing ones. The Edit button or key F2 will go into line-wise edit 
          mode.
        - You can switch to Editor Mode by cliking the "Editor Mode" button at 
          the bottom left of the window, or by pressing key F6. Then you have 
          all liberties and all responsabilities... good luck!
        - If you OK the list the file is immediately rewritten with the new data 
          without further questions.
        - Note that if you are editing XYplorer.ini then saving the file alone 
          will not change anything in the configuration you are currently seeing 
          (which is all in memory, not on disk).
          To actually apply your changes you have to call "Restart without 
          Saving". You can automate this by passing flag 1.
        - Using this command you can actually edit any file in this line-by-line 
          fashion. You have to know what you are doing, of course...
          WARNING: If you think editing binary files using this command is a 
          good idea... no, it's not! Limit yourself to text files...
        - Even if you don't plan to edit anything this new command serves as a 
          nice file viewer since you can filter the list!
        - Finally a civilized way to access tweaks. It will even get better when 
          I add it to GUI, and add a preset-filter argument to the SC.
      Examples:
        editconf;     //edit XYplorer.ini, no auto-restart
        editconf , 1; //edit XYplorer.ini, auto-restart
        editconf "<xypath>\Startup.ini"; //have a look at this file, maybe edit it

    + Hover Box on Archives: Relative path syntax is supported now. Relative 
      paths are resolved relative to <xypath> (that's where XYplorer.exe is).
    * Hover Box on Archives: Once the INI value (ZipPathUnRAR, ZipPath7zip) is 
      written it will not be auto-changed anymore. This alters the behavior 
      announced in v19.30.0030.
    + SC zip_list, zip_list2: Now they support the services of UnRAR.exe and 
      7z.exe if present and support all archive formats supported by them.
    ! SC zip_list, zip_list2: Did not work anymore on Zip files since recently. 
      Fixed.

v19.30.0031 - 2018-11-16 21:46
    + Hover Box on 7z: Added more formats (for me personally ISO is a cool 
      addition), now we have:
        001.7z.arj.bz.bz2.bzip2.cab.deb.gz.gzip.img.iso.lha.lzh.ova.
        rar.rpm.tar.taz.tbz.tbz2.tgz.tz.vhd.wim.wmz.wsz.xz.yfs.z.zip.zipx
      What actually works depends on the power of your 7-zip version.
      If anything is missing you can add it to this tweak:
        ArchivePreviewCustomExtensions=bim.bam.bum
    * Hover Box on Archives: There is no reliable way (across all versions of 
      UnRAR and 7z) to determine why an archive cannot be opened. Therefore I 
      changed the message from "Cannot view encrypted archive." to "Cannot open 
      archive."
    ! MLS: A handful of translations (rarely surfacing, mostly concerning 
      "aliases") have been missing ever since. Will be fixed with the next 
      translation release.

    + Hover Box on Archives: The automatically retrieved paths for "7z.exe" and 
      "UnRAR.exe" are now stored in the INI in a portable manner, eg:
        ZipPathUnRAR=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe
      If you tweak those values you now can use XY variables, eg:
        ZipPath7zip=<xypath>\7-Zip\7z.exe
      Note that if the path found in the INI does not exist XYplorer will try to 
      automatically retrieve an existing path and update the INI value if 
      successful.
    > Upgraders: You need to manually reset your paths in the INI if you want 
      the new portable storage.
        ZipPathUnRAR=
        ZipPath7zip=
    + Hover Box on 7z: Added formats deb.rpm.tgz.vhd, so now we have:
      - Supported archive formats (extensions):
          001.7z.arj.bz2.bzip2.cab.deb.gz.gzip.iso.rar.rpm.tar.tgz.vhd.wim.xz
    * Hover Box on Archives: You cannot view archives where the filenames are 
      encrypted. In this case you now get a message: "Cannot view encrypted 
      archive."

      the toggle "Remember Selected Code Page" in the orange button menu on the 
      Preview tab on the Info Panel (F12) while a text file is being previewed.
    ! Floating Preview: Did not immediately support a remembered codepage. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box on 7z: Would not work prior to having hovered a RAR file once. 
      Fixed.

    + Hover Box: Now you can get a Zip Contents Preview in the Hover Box also 
      for the 7z format (7-Zip), and many other archive formats that are 
      supported by 7-Zip.
      XYplorer tries to find the needed helper file "7z.exe" automatically in 
      the usual locations (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe). So if 
      you are reasonably lucky it should just work.
      If the preview fails you can tweak the location, for example:
        ZipPath7zip=C:\My Crazy Path To 7-Zip\7z.exe
      Notes:
      - Supported archive formats (extensions):
          001.7z.arj.bz2.bzip2.cab.gz.gzip.iso.rar.tar.wim.xz
        Note that also RAR is supported, so you will get a RAR preview even if 
        WinRAR isn't present on your system.
      - Obviously 7-Zip has to be installed on your system (a portable 
        installation might suffice).
      - Unicode characters in the packed items are shown as "_". Unfortunately 
        7z.exe does not seem to support listing those characters.
      - The summary file size is provided (top level, no recursion).
    * Hover Box on RAR: Now it shows the summary file size (top level, no 
      recursion).
    > Hover Box on RAR Files: Note empty folders are now correctly recognized as 
      folders.
    ! Hover Box on Text Files: Did not support a remembered codepage. Fixed.
    ! MDBU on Text Files: Did not support a remembered codepage. Fixed.

v19.30.0027 - 2018-11-14 19:11
    + Text Preview: Added tweak to remember the last selected code page across 
      previews:
        TextPreviewCodePageRemember=1
      If TextPreviewCodePageRemember=0 then the codepage will automatically 
      switch back to the system default code page for the next preview.
      Tip: You select the codepage under the orange button on the Preview tab on 
      the Info Panel (F12) while a text file is being previewed.
      If TextPreviewCodePageRemember=1 then you can, for example, set the 
      codepage to Arabic (1256) and all text previews will use this codepage to 
      interprete the bytes in the file. Advantage: You don't have to set the 
      system-wide default codepage to Arabic!
    ! Hover Box on RAR Files: Fixed a couple of glitches.
    > Hover Box on RAR Files: Note that it is currently not possible to 
      recognize empty folders as "folders". So they will be listed as if they 
      were files.

      you are reasonably lucky it should just work.
      If the preview fails you can tweak the location, for example:
        ZipPathUnRAR=C:\My Crazy Path To WinRAR\UnRAR.exe
      Notes:
      - Obviously WinRAR has to be installed on your system, or at least 
        UnRAR.exe has to exist (a real installation might not be necessary).
      - Unicode characters in the packed items are shown as "?". Unfortunately 
        UnRAR.exe does not seem to support listing those characters.
      - Summary file sizes are not provided (contrary to ZIP previews).

    + Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Auto-Refresh: Added 
      option "Detect portable devices". Tick it to automatically detect when 
      portable devices are inserted or removed.
      Raises tweak WatchDevices to UI.
      Factory default is ON because it's expected behavior. However, if you 
      don't need it you might just turn it off to reduce some unnecessary 
      refresh events that might be triggered by turning on/off printers or 
      similar.
    - Undid this change from v19.10.0105 - 2018-08-12 17:20:
      * Tree: Too many unnecessary radical refresh events (e.g. when USB printer 
        was turned on/off). Reduced that to a reasonable amount.
      Reason: Plugging in/out of portable devices did not generate an automatic 
      refresh anymore.
      Tip: If you don't need that refresh on PD plug in/out, untick the new 
      "Detect portable devices" option. Your tree will be calmer.
    ! Auto-Refresh: Under certain conditions certain events did not trigger a 
      list-refresh anymore since 20181012. Fixed.
