v17.50.0105 - 2017-01-27 18:49
! Debug code in v17.50.0104. Argh.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all
v17.50.0104 - 2017-01-27 16:26
*** Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: Now the new file ("File to be copied") is
shown at the top, and the old file ("Existing file") is shown at the bottom.
Additionally a big arrow shows the direction of the operation in question.
It might look a bit non-standard, but it's a huge gain in clarity and
hence usability.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0094.
! Tree and List: Merging folders by renaming one to the name of another
failed with a bizarre shell error (Error 0x80070057: The parameter is
incorrect) if any same-named files were contained. Fixed.
! Command Line: Switch /select did not work as expected when XY was already
running (it opened the passed path instead of opening the parent and
selecting the child). Fixed.
! Command Line: Startup paths with files under special folders (e.g.
"Desktop\a.txt") were not parsed correctly. Fixed.
! Type Stats and Filter: Would not handle extensions containing the
characters "#" or "[" correctly. Fixed.
! Extra Large Toolbar: Icons of executables in User Buttons were not
upscaled correctly. Fixed.

v17.50.0101 - 2017-01-25 20:38
+ Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up: Added option "Loop". Tick it to loop
the playback.
Was hard-coded to ON before.
+ SC formatlist enhanced: Added format "F" for "filter (no wildcards)".
Syntax: formatlist(list, [format], [separator=|], [param]], [flags])
format: Switches for the desired formatting.
f = filter (wildcards)
F = filter (no wildcards)
Examples:
text formatlist("a*|ab", "f", , "a*"); //a*|ab
text formatlist("a*|ab", "f", , "!a*"); //[nothing]
text formatlist("a*|ab", "F", , "a*"); //a*
text formatlist("a*|ab", "F", , "!a*"); //ab
! Paper Folders: A Paper Folder with hidden folders by an unticked "View |
Show Items | Show Folders in List" would forget all folders when being
(auto-)saved. Fixed: A Paper Folder in such a state will not be saved
(just like a Paper Folder filtered by a Visual Filter).

v17.50.0100 - 2017-01-23 16:00
= MAINTENANCE RELEASE.
+++ Minor bug fixes and enhancements.
v17.50.0004 - 2017-01-23 15:38 - unpublished
* Tree and List: Left-right scrolling by wheel or trackpad was far too slow.
Faster now.

v17.50.0003 - 2017-01-23 12:05
! Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | On file icons as well: If unticked it
would still work on right mouse button down if "Configuration | Mouse Down
Blow Up | On right mouse down" was ticked. Fixed.
! Toolbar: Small buttons were still stretched at screen resolutions > 100%.
No more.
Code: Select all
v17.50.0002 - 2017-01-22 11:31
+ Info Panel | Properties: Now the Status Bar shows what has been copied to
clipboard on double-clicking a key label or a value label.
! Info Panel | Properties: Double-clicking a key label to copy key and value
to clipboard did not yet support Unicode values. Fixed.
* Toolbar: Buttons were stretched at screen resolutions > 100%. No more.
Since Extra Large buttons it isn't necessary anymore.

v17.50.0000 - 2017-01-20 18:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
+++ Quick Audio Preview. Mouse down on the file icon to hear the sound. Mouse
move to scroll. Mouse up to stop. MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG... you name it. With
interactive progress bar. Probably the most convenient audio file previewer
on the planet.
+++ Support of Filenames Ending With Dot or Space. Those filenames are invalid
in the Windows name space and the shell cannot do anything with them.
Delete, rename, move, it all fails with the standard File Explorer. XYplorer
now can handle them.
+++ Extra Large Toolbar. Now you can have extra large buttons (48x48 pixels).
Increases toolbar usability on high-resolution screens.

were copied to the clipboard as if they were part of the data. Fixed.

v17.40.0211 - 2017-01-18 16:51
+ SC get got a new named argument "previewhandler". Rather for debugging
purposes (but who knows) this is a way to quickly retrieve the GUID,
Standard value, and DisplayName of the default previewhandler associated
with a given extension. The information is retrieved from the registry.
Syntax: get("previewhandler", extension, separator=CRLF)
extension: [required] any registered file extension
separator: separator between GUID, Standard, and DisplayName in the
returned string
return: GUID,separator,Standard,separator,DisplayName
Nothing if no previewhandler is found.
Example 1:
text get("previewhandler", "pdf");
returns (on my system):
{CF822AB4-6DB5-4FDA-BC28-E61DF36D2583}
PDF-XChange PDF Preview Provider
PDF-XChange PDF Preview Provider
Example 2:
text get("previewhandler", "msg");
returns (on my system):
{53BEDF0B-4E5B-4183-8DC9-B844344FA104}

! Audio Thumbs: Fixed a couple of glitches.
Code: Select all
v17.40.0210 - 2017-01-17 13:43
+ Audio Thumbs: Now you get a basic progress bar in the Status Bar.
+ Audio Thumbs | Progress Bar: Now when you started the playback using the
right mouse button you can move the play position by left-clicking the
progress bar.
Remarks:
- Note that both of these must be ticked to make this work:
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | On right mouse down
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | Stay up
- You can also toggle Pause/Play by right-clicking the progress bar.
- There is also a tiny Pause/Play button to toggle Pause/Play.
- Also the SPACE key will toggle Pause/Play (while focus is in the list).

v17.40.0209 - 2017-01-16 18:36
+ Audio Thumbs: Now you get a basic progress status in the Status Bar while
the file is playing. This includes an error message if anything failed.
* Audio Thumbs: Now it loops, i.e. it restarts when the playback ends.
+ Audio Thumbs: Experimentally added a way to move to a new position in the
playing file (fast forward/backward).
Start playback by left mouse down on the file icon or thumbnail, then move
the mouse to the right with the button held down. The positioning is done
on an imaginary (= nothing to see) 256 pixels wide progress bar where the
mouse pointer is on position 0 when the playing starts. So, for example,
moving 128 pixels to the right of that point will play the file from its
middle position (e.g. from 1:30 if the song is 3:00 long). It's easy once
you get the knack.
(I still might add a progress bar to look at later...)
* Search Templates: Slightly redesigned the dialog.

v17.40.0208 - 2017-01-15 15:32
+++ Audio Thumbs: Now Mouse Down Blow Up works for audio files! It just plays
the sound as long as you hold down the mouse. No interface, no info, just
sound. All previewable audio file types are supported (MP3, WAV, FLAC,
OGG... you name it). Killer.
This feature is optional (some folks might get shocked when their files
start making noises on touching them). Toggle it here:
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | Audio preview
Some tips:
- Tick this to enable Mouse Down Blow Up:
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | On left mouse down
- Tick these two and the Audio Thumb plays on right-click without
needing to keep the button down:
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | On right mouse down
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | Stay up
To stop either left-click or press ESC, or start the next file's Audio
Thumb.
- Tick this and you get Audio Thumbs via Mouse Down on file icons:
Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | On file icons as well
Brother, how cool can it get?!
* Small Lists: Increased the row height by 2 pixels. More air to breathe.
