Code: Select all

v19.10.0206 - 2018-08-21 18:36
    + Full Screen Preview: Added a tweak to ensure the Full Screen Preview 
      covers all other windows and the taskbar.
        FullScreenTopmost=1
      Notes:
      - In all Windows versions before Win10 using this tweak is usually not 
        necessary.
      - The tweak might inhibit the Alt+TAB functionality to switch between 
        apps.
      - FullScreenTopmost=1 was the hard-coded behavior for Win10 before. Now 
        the default behavior is FullScreenTopmost=0.
    * Color Filters: Now they don't do extended pattern matching anymore. So #, [, 
      and ] are treated as literal characters. In other words: No extended 
      pattern matching for Color Filters, only * and ? count as wildcards.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
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.

    ! Text Preview: To cope with some deficits of earlier Windows versions (pre 
      Win8) artificial line breaks had been added within the preview of text 
      files when lines were longer than 2046 characters. This precaution could 
      be dropped now for Win8 and later.
    ! Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Permanent startup path: A new 
      tab was unnecessarily opened when the current tab was on a different path 
      and unlocked. Fixed.
    ! User-Defined Commands: Fixed some display and interaction glitches in the 
      dialog.

    - Mouse Down Blow Up in Thumbnails Views: Removed yesterday's change. It 
      slowed things down under certain conditions, and a no-select-open can well 
      be called a feature since it's inline with MDBU's no-select-preview.
    ! OneDrive in Windows 10 Creators Update: Support for "OneDrive for 
      Business" was not perfect yet. Fixed.

    * Mouse Down Blow Up in Thumbnails Views: You could open a non-selected file 
      by double-clicking its thumbnail and it kept being non-selected. You still 
      can open it that way, but now it will get automatically selected before 
      it's opened.
    ! SC sync: The filter only applied to subfolders of the first generation. 
      Fix #2.    
    ! Customize File Associations Dialog: PFA icons did not immediately update 
      for script entries. Fixed.

v19.10.0201 - 2018-08-17 11:29
    + Custom Copy: Added tweak CustomCopyNoBufferingFromBytes to allow 
      unbuffered file copying for large files. It avoids the file system cache 
      overhead and prevents the file system cache from being effectively flushed 
      by large file data.
      Unbuffered file copying is recommended by Microsoft for "very large file 
      transfers" without getting more specific. So it's up to you to define the 
      threshold when it should kick in.
      For example, to invoke unbuffered copying for files of 1 GB or larger:
        CustomCopyNoBufferingFromBytes=1073741824
      Notes:
      - The underlying technology is supported only from Windows Vista / Server 
        2008 onwards. Windows XP / Server 2003 are out.
      - Move operations don't support unbuffered processing. For unknown reasons 
        the Windows API doesn't offer it. It's only there for Copy operations.
      - Unbuffered copying is also supported in XYcopy (= background processing).
      - Quite likely the tweak will later be lifted to the Configuration dialog.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0129.
    ! Tweak CustomCopyFlags (added v14.50.0102 - 2014-09-23 20:09) did not work 
      anymore (unsure since when). Fixed.
    ! Tweak CustomCopyFlags did never work in XYcopy (= background processing). 
      Now it does.
    ! Configuration | General | Controls and More | Network | Assume that 
      servers are available: Improved the functionality. I had been ignored in 
      some situations before.

      logarithmic. Both scales nicely complement each other and you get a pretty 
      well spread resolution.

    * Size Graphics: Minor adjustments with rounding. Empty files now get an 
      empty bar. Reduced the height from 12 to 10 pixels (values at default font 
      size).
    * Tree: Too many unnecessary radical refresh events (e.g. when USB printer 
      was turned on/off). Reduced that to a reasonable amount.
    ! Links Folder: In a Locked Tree clicking a Links Folder link will not beam 
      you to the target location but lets you dwell where you are (since 
      v16.40.0005 - 2016-03-14). If you now deleted a folder in the list, the 
      Links Folder was emptied and needed a manual refresh to fill again. Fixed.

v19.10.0104 - 2018-08-11 17:37
    * Size Graphics: The colored bars did not cut it. So here's a new solution 
      to the problem (the problem: graphically represent a scale from 0 bytes to 
      1000 billion bytes within 50 pixels in an intuitive way -- not easy). The 
      new approach could be called "Leveled Bars". There is one bar of 12x12 
      pixels for each size level (if 5 bars are necessary the bars are 9x12 
      pixels to fit within space):
        Bar 1: < 1KB
        Bar 2: < 1MB
        Bar 3: < 1GB
        Bar 4: < 1TB
        Bar 5: < 1PB
      So a file of 500 bytes would have just one bar and it would be about 
      50% filled. A file of 250 KB would have 2 bars, the first one fully 
      filled, the 2nd one about 25% filled (= 3 pixels of 12). And so on.
      You immediately grasp the magnitude of the file size (the number of bars) 
      and within that magnitude you get a linear graphic representation of the 
      relative size within that magnitude (the size/filling of the last bar).

v19.10.0102 - 2018-08-05 14:28
    + Added tweak to remove all accelerator keys from the main window.
        StripAccelerators=1
      Using this tweak allows you, for example, to define Alt+D as keyboard 
      shortcut for "Focus Address Bar" without conflicting with the "Find 
      Hidden" checkbox (accelerator key = Alt+D) on the Find File tab.
      Note that this still won't work e.g. in the German version where the word 
      for "File" is "Datei" so it starts with a D. In absence of accelerator 
      keys Windows will use the first letters of the main menu captions to 
      accelerate access to them. So, no Alt+D for Germans. :) (There is a 
      political pun in this I won't explain here.)
    ! MLS: Certain strings (e.g. "FRESH") in the main window title bar were not 
      translated right away when switching the interface language. Fixed.
    ! Tabs: Visual artifact when toggling Touchscreen Mode in single pane mode 
      and then switching to Dual Pane. Fixed.
    ! Recycle Bin: Recently there were some problems with the auto-refresh on 
      delete, restore, and empty. Fixed.
