        HoverBoxPola=1
      An hommage to Polaroid.

    * Hover Box: Now also the text preview has the thin margin. The thick margin 
      only remains where it originally was meant for: Images.
    * Hover Box: Now also the text preview has the arrow instead of the "... 
      [continues]".

v19.20.0014 - 2018-10-05 19:06
    * Hover Box On Folders: Redesigned. Margin is now thin, and instead of the 
      three dots you get an arrow at the bottom right showing that there's more. 
      Additionally there is a pixel-dotted line (adding a touch of fuzziness to 
      the lower margin like "this is not the end"), a line that strangely 
      reminds of long gone Apple Macintosh on Atari ST days. Deliberately retro 
      if you permit.
      FYI, scrolling the box is planned for a later version.
    ! List: PageUp/PageDown did one line less than it should. Fixed. How could 
      this survive so many years?
    ! Recycle Bin: The Recycle Bin icon did not update to "full" or "empty" when 
      it should. Fixed.

v19.20.0012 - 2018-10-04 14:51
    * Hover Box On Folders: Slightly different logic: Now you get 20 items plus 
      the three dots if there are more than 20 items. Before, it was 19 + dots.
    ! Tools | Customize Tree | Full Row Select: HBOF and MUSD did not work. 
      Fixed.
    ! Tools | Customize Tree | Rename On Slow Double-Click: Could not close the 
      box by re-clicking the same row. Fixed. Now Slow Double-Click only works 
      on the caption.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down: Would not work in drives listing in Tiles and 
      Thumbnail views. Fixed. Now it works on the icons.

  +++ Hover Box Over Tree: Now you can get the Folder Contents Preview in the 
      Hover Box also over the Tree. Yep!
    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box | Apply 
      to...: Renamed the button to "Select Item Types...".
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box: Added 
      button "Select Controls...". Here you can select the controls the Hover 
      Box shall be shown for. Currently available:
        - List
        - Tree
      By factory default and for upgraders both are checked.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down and Hover Box for Folders: Did not work well on 
      junctions and in the Links special folder. Fixed.

v19.20.0005 - 2018-10-01 15:15
  +++ Hover Box: Now you can get a Folder Contents Preview in the Hover Box. It 
      lists the top 20 items of the hovered folder.
      - Toggle it here: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show 
        Hover Box | Apply to... | Folders
      - Items are sorted by name ascending, folders on top.
      - Of each item you see the icon (CFI honored) and the name.      
      - In the bottom area of the Hover Box you get the folder name and basic 
        stats (item count, folder count, file count, total bytes of files).
      - Of course, the stats are not recursive but just for the level of that 
        folder, i.e. what you'd see in the status bar if you went down into the 
        folder.
      - Shortcuts (LNK) to folders are resolved and you get the preview of the 
        target folder.
    * Mouse Up Show Down: From now on it *does* honor the general visibility 
      settings that also control the file list. So, when an item is hidden from 
      the list then it's also hidden from the Folder Contents Preview.
      In the unlikely case that all items are hidden, you won't see "Folder is 
      empty." but "[n] items are hidden."
    * Mouse Up Show Down: If there is a message (e.g. "Folder is empty.") 
      instead of a contents list the message is now colored for better 
      distinction. Blue = info, Brown = all hidden, Red = error/warning.
      As before, clicking the message will take you into the 
      clicked folder (if you are allowed to go there).
    * Mouse Up Show Down: The "Empty" message is now "Folder is empty." instead 
      of "[Empty]".
    * Hover Box: "File is empty" message is now in blue. Before it was in red.
    ! List: Drawing glitches in lists with information bar (best visible with 
      dark list backgrounds):
      - Horizontal line in list background color ran through all column headers.
      - Vertical gridlines also crossed the column headers.
      Since v18.50.0010 - 2017-10-13 14:29. All fixed.

v19.20.0004 - 2018-09-28 11:30
    + Command Line Switches: Now you can "pipe" a value instead of quoting it. 
      This can be useful when unpredictable quotes make predictable parsing 
      impossible, or simply to make a string more readable:
      For example, this is the same Command Line Switch, first quoted then 
      piped:
        /feed="::text '"R:\a b c"';"
        /feed=|::text '"R:\a b c"';|
      Of course, you must be sure that no pipes can come up inside the value.
    + Mouse Up Show Down: Now you can use the middle-click on menu items to
      - Open Folders in a New Tab   (Shift+Click)
      - Go To Files in a New Tab    (Ctrl+Shift+Click)
      Works in Tree and List, and (folders only) in Breadcrumb.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down in Tree: Would not always put the selection back to the 
      current node after closing the MUSD menu. Fixed.

  +++ Mouse Up Show Down: Now it's available also in the folder tree! Like in 
      the List it works on mouse up on the folder icons. Lets you quickly peek 
      into folders without leaving the current location. Lets you even list and 
      open files right from the tree.
      Notes:
      - Turn it on here: Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up 
        on Folder Icons | In tree
      - One node is not supported at the moment: Recycle Bin.
    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons: 
      Added option "In list". Tick it to enable the Folder Contents Preview in 
      the List.
    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons: 
      Added option "In tree". Tick it to enable the Folder Contents Preview in

    * Mouse Up Show Down: Now you can quickly open and close a popup by a 
      Double-Click. Before, that Double-Click would have been promoted to the 
      parent control.

v19.20.0002 - 2018-09-26 14:34
    * Preview Tab, Preview Pane, Floating Preview: Now when an Office file 
      cannot be previewed by any associated preview handler, a fallback to any 
      associated IFilter is attempted to show at least the extracted text.
    * Hover Box: PDFs are by default shown as a thumbnail-like preview of the 
      first page. Now you can alternatively get a preview of the extracted text 
      (which is usually faster). To do so add "pdf" to "Previewed Formats / Text 
      Files".
    * Tabs: With "Match selected tab with breadcrumb bar" enabled any Visual 
      Filter shown in the tab header is now dimmed down a bit for better 
      distinction from the caption.
    ! Floating Preview: Improved browsing through files by KeyUp/KeyDown. Does 
      not get stuck anymore at certain file types.
    ! Toolbar: Hover effect colors were slightly off on Windows Theme Style 
      buttons. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category | User-Defined 
      Preview Handlers: Could not permanently tick off items in that list. 
      Internally they would be off, but the tick would be shown anyway. Fixed.

    % Speed improvements when drawing XYplorer native graphics due to the 
      surprise discovery of a faster GDI function. Affects the Toolbar, wherever 
      the "script" icon (and some other icons) is shown, and wherever you show 
      XYplorer native graphics using the ":[imagekey]" syntax.
    ! List: Focus always moved to the list when swapping panes (since 20180920). 
      Fixed.
    ! SC obfuscate: The path in the "Location currently not available." message 
      was not obfuscated. Fixed.

      data under certain conditions. Fixed.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Download: https://www.xyplorer.com/download.php

Code: Select all

v19.20.0000 - 2018-09-24 15:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Mouse Up Show Down. What about a mouse-driven instant non-invasive Folder 
      Contents Preview that lets you look into a folder without opening it? You 
      can jump into subfolders or open files right from the preview. You will 
      get hooked to this amazing speed booster in a second and never look back.
  +++ Tab Colors. Now you can have the selected tab auto-match the color of the 
      breadcrumb bar of each pane. So what? Well, try it. It makes a lot of 
      sense in terms of user guidance and interface balance.
  +++ Tree Path Colors. Just like with tabs you now can also have the "Tree Path 
      Tracing" auto-match the color of the breadcrumb bar of each pane. It's a 
      small thing but it makes everything look better.
  +++ Drag and Clone. In all small lists where you can drag items to a new 
      position you now can drag-and-clone an item by Ctrl+Drag.
  +++ Remove Search and Filters. The context menu of the Search Information Bar 
      and Filter Information Bar now tells you what you can do with a double 
      click: Remove the search, or the filter. You always could, but now you 
      know.
