Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v26.80.0101 - 2025-01-20 12:48
    + Configuration | General | Safety Belts, Network | Network: Added option "Assume that 
      mapped network drives are available". Check to avoid long delays when there are 
      unavailable mapped network drives. But there is a price: You get the available icon 
      for all network drives, even the unavailable ones.
      It's checked by default.
      If you don't mind losing 20 seconds here and there and prefer fresh and true 
      information, uncheck this setting.
    * Key NetworkDriveSkipPollingBytes: Renamed to NetworkDrivesSkipPollingBytes.
    + List: The Cell Context Menu (Ctrl+Right-Click) now works in the drives listing (This 
      PC), too. Of course, it is limited to stuff that works here: Copy Data and Show 
      Character Table.

To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:

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.

    + Configuration | General | Safety Belts, Network | Network: Added option "Skip 
      calculation of free disk space for mapped network drives". Check to avoid long 
      delays when displaying the This PC list and there are unavailable mapped network 
      drives. It's checked by default.
      FYI, this raises tweak NetworkDriveSkipPollingBytes (2015-11-26) to the UI.
    + Mapped Drives in Tree: Hovering over the icon now shows the full UNC path in the 
      tooltip.
    % Mapped Drives: Startup with mapped drives is now even faster.
    ! Mapped Drives: In some contexts, their names were no longer displayed after recent 
      performance improvements. Fixed.

v26.80.0000 - 2025-01-18 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Rounded Corners. Major facelift, many corners are now rounded by default. You can, 
      of course, also opt for square corners if you prefer.
  +++ Lock Scroll Position. By default, the tree expands and scrolls to the current 
      position as needed. If you don't like the constant jumping up and down, you can now 
      fix the tree in its current scroll position. This keeps the tree view still and 
      potential drop targets in view.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

    % Breadcrumb Bars: The leftmost dropdown menu (which includes drives) could hang for a 
      long time with unavailable network drives. Now these mapped drives are added to the 
      menu without actually being accessed. It's just assumed that they are available.
      The same strategy is applied to menu Go | Drives... and Toolbar button This PC.

    % This PC: The listing of unavailable network drives is now faster, probably almost 
      instantaneous ("probably" because several factors are involved).

    * Tools | Customize Toolbar...: The contents of the Zoom dropdown now adjust 
      on-the-fly when the button size is changed using the Options button.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0266.
    ! SC get('spotpatterns'): Since 20241213, it returned column indexes appended to each 
      spot pattern, separated by tabs, when it should just return the spot patterns. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Style: If set to Box AND "Show film strip 
      overlay on video thumbnails" was enabled, a wrong dark background was drawn on
