Code: Select all

v27.20.1201 - 2026-04-09 18:48
    + Hover Box: You can now use the arrow keys to move to the next hover box even when 
      the focus is in an input field, such as the Address Bar or the Live Filter Box.
    + SC readurl / readurlutf8 enhanced: Added flag to skip the existence check before the 
      URL is loaded.
      Syntax: readurl(url, [nocookies], [StripHTML], [flags], [codepage])
        flags (bit field)
          16:  Skip the existence check before the URL is loaded.
               This will save some nanoseconds and energy if you're sure the URL exists.
      Example:
        text readurl("https://www.xyplorer.com/version.php?bit=64", 3:=16);
    ! Scripting | Steps Dialog: Since it's resizable (v26.70.0307 - 2024-12-16 15:06) the 
      label between the upper and the lower list was invisible most of the time because 
      its position was still static. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Folder content lists used the vertical spacing needed for the font size 
      set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels, but it 
      actually uses the font and font size set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Fonts | Main Contents. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: The dropdown list used the vertical spacing needed for the font size 
      set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels, but it 
      actually uses the font and font size set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Fonts | Main Contents. Fixed.

    * Toolbar | Bookmark Buttons: Since v27.20.1001, it has been possible to display 
      bookmark buttons without text. However, you had to actively rename a bookmark button 
      if you wanted to see the text, which wasn't ideal. Now, a new logic has been 
      implemented. By default, the buttons display text (which is automatically generated 
      from the location) and you can actively hide this text by selecting the new "Hide 
      name in toolbar" checkbox in the "Rename Bookmark" dialog.
    ! Drag and Drop: The VS Code fix from v27.20.1108 - 2026-03-16 20:20 was a mistake. Undone.

    % Autosize Columns: Now it works regardless of trailing separators.
    % Icons: Improved the drawing of icons with share overlays at high DPI (>= 150%).      
    ! Icons: Since v27.20.1109, some icons were drawn incorrectly at high DPI (> 150%). 
      Fixed.
    ! SC editconf: Lines longer than 3275 characters were shown empty because of an 
      internal limit of the text printing API function. This could easily happen with keys 
      MiniTreePaths and MiniTreePathsPrev. Fixed. Now the first 3275 characters of those 
      lines are shown.
      This fix affects all small lists.

v27.20.1110 - 2026-03-23 20:50
    + Autosize Columns: Now it also works for icon columns.
    * Shell Context Menu: The Share command was removed because it was not functioning 
      properly due to the way Windows constructed the menu, which essentially hardcodes 
      this command to File Explorer (from Windows 10 onwards).
    % Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: A little glow-up of the blue direction arrow.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0291.

    * Tweak ListProcessFocusedItemFirst is now set to 1 by factory default. Since many 
      Windows versions ago, File Explorer has always acted like this.  
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Preview: The preview of CBR/CBZ files (Comic Book Reader) and probably some other 
      file types was cropped. Fixed.
    ! Tools | List Management | Address Bar & Go to...: The Address Bar supports quoted 
      locations (paths wrapped in double quotes), but List Management failed to show an 
      icon for them. Fixed.
    ! List: At 150% screen scaling in Tile View on This PC, icons with a shared overlay 
      were rendered far too large. Fixed.
    * Hover Box over Text Files: The size of texts that can be shown completely in the 
      Hover Box has doubled from 64 KB to 128 KB (with scrolling, of course). In larger 
      files, only the first and last 64 KB will be visible.
    ! Hover Box over Text Files: Word-wrapping would go wrong when the data contained 
      non-paired double-quotes. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box over Text Files: It was not possible to wheel through the final block 
      (below "... [continues]") of a file that was too large to fit in the Hover Box. 
      Fixed.

v27.20.1108 - 2026-03-16 20:20
    + Added tweak to process the focused list item first whenever multiple selections are 
      processed, e.g. in Custom File Associations.
        ListProcessFocusedItemFirst=1
      If the tweak is set to 1 and the focused list item is the last of all selected items 
      then they are all processed in reverse order. Compare these 2 cases when 
      ListProcessFocusedItemFirst is set to 1:
        selections   processed order            selections   processed order
        45           47                         45           49
        46           48                         46           48
        47-Focus     49                         47           47
        48           45                         48           46
        49           46                         49-Focus     45
      FYI, this tweak has existed internally for 10 years, but it was either never exposed 
      to the INI file or the key was inadvertently removed at some point. Bit of a mystery.
    ! Drag and Drop: Did not work from VS Code (and probably other similar apps). Fixed.

v27.20.1107 - 2026-03-11 15:43
    ! Variable <pad ...>: Did not work correctly when interpolated along with script 
      variables, for example:
        $string = 'abc';
            $length = 12;
            $r1 = "<pad 12>abc";                       // "         abc"
            $r2 = "<pad $length>abc";                  // "         abc"

            $r4 = "<pad $length>$string";              // "     $string"    (WRONG)
            text "$r1<crlf>$r2<crlf>$r3<crlf>$r4";
      Fixed. Now returns "         abc" for all four lines.

    * Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: If the two files were the same size but had 
      different contents, the label would be red, indicating a potential issue. However, 
      there is no problem. It's fine. If the contents were the same, there would be no 
      reason to copy the file. Therefore, the label is now blue.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0290.
    ! Hover Box: Since 20251001, the target in a Hover Box for Junctions and SymLinks has 
      been labeled "Mount Point Target" instead of "Junction Target". Fixed.

    + Virtual Folders: Since their invention (v23.90.0411 - 2023-01-10 19:53), the rule 
      has been: "You cannot drag items into a VFO." That's no longer true. Now, you can. 
      You can even drag items onto folders in the Path column of a Virtual Folder.
    ! Custom Columns #1-10: Custom Columns with Trigger=Click were not refreshed on 
      Refresh Column, the Click symbol just remained in place. Fixed.

    + Added tweak to update the taskbar when moving the app window to a new monitor.
        UpdateTaskbarOnMonitorSwitch=1
      Previously, the taskbar updated automatically, which involved a brief, distracting 
      flash of the app window. Now, you must opt in to refresh the taskbar. However, 
      depending on your system settings and Windows version, Windows may handle this 
      automatically, so it might not be necessary.

    ! Overlong Items: Copying overlong items to the clipboard could lead to fatal memory 
      corruption resulting in a crash sooner or later. Fixed.
    ! Overlong Items: Dragging overlong items from a volume that supports 8.3 names 
      (typically C:) automatically converted the long path into the 8.3 format, also known 
      as the DOS short name, e.g. "long path.docx" -> "LONGPA~1.DOC". Fixed by actively 
      reconverting the short name back to a long name.
    ! Info Panel | Preview | Text Files: The "Decoded as:" information was incorrect when 
      the default system code page was not 1252. Fixed. Now, for example, it shows "System 
      Default 1253 (ANSI - Greek)" when the default system code page is Greek and no other 
      code page is selected for the Preview Tab.
