Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version (64-bit):
Code: Select all
v27.90.0015 - 2025-07-30 12:23
+ Info Panel | Preview: You can now display the waveform of media files (audio and
video) in the progress bar if you have previously provided an image file containing
the waveform and named it according to the rules specified in a special template.
- Currently, the template is only available as a tweak (AudioPreviewWaveFormPath).
- In addition to environment and XYplorer native variables the template supports two
special variables, <preview_base> and <preview_name> that are resolved to the base
(name without extension) or name (without path) of the currently previewed media file.
- Below are two examples of how to define the template. The first is an absolute path
(<xydata> = XYplorer data folder), and the second is a subfolder (WaveForms) of the
folder containing the previewed media file:
AudioPreviewWaveFormPath=<xydata>\WaveForms\<preview_base>.png
AudioPreviewWaveFormPath=WaveForms\<preview_name>.png
- Once the template is set, the media preview will display a matching image if one is
found. All standard image formats are supported.
- The waveform image can have any size and is stretched as necessary to fill the
progress bar. The lower 3 pixels of the bar are reserved for the live progress
marker as it moves from beginning to end.
- Note: XY cannot create waveforms on its own. You must prepare them with other software.
* Info Panel | Preview | Media Progress Bar: Widened from 272 to 284 pixels (at 100%
screen scaling).
FYI, the space for waveforms is exactly 284x15 pixels now (at 100% screen scaling),
so this is the size that won't suffer from stretching.
! Quick Search, SC quicksearch, Find Files: "size" selector comparisons returned
apparent rubbish when you passed byte units like KB or MB instead of raw bytes. Fixed.
text quicksearch("size: < 1MB", "<xypath>", , n); //works as expected now

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.
