v16.00.0225 - 2015-12-03 17:10
+ Preview 2.0: Now okay for font files (in case you manually add them to the
Web & Office category). This will get more interesting in the up-coming
steps of the Preview 2.0 mission.

v16.00.0216 - 2015-12-02 17:05
+++ Preview 2.0 | Step 1: Added the new preview to the Preview tab on the Info
Panel. It will handle Office (DOC, DOCX, XLS, PPT ...), RTF, PDF, and XPS
files here. The corresponding preview handlers have to be installed on the
system, in other words you need the Office software to preview Office
files, and some PDF viewer to preview PDF files. Probably it has to be the
32-bit handlers, we'll see.
From now on, the old Browser component is NOT used anymore for Office
previews. So we can at last say bye-bye to those idiotic "File Download:
Open or Save?" prompts.
- Removed Word Special Preview. If you don't know what this is all the
better. Then you don't need to forget it.
- Removed tweak NoWordSpecialPreview.

v16.00.0214 - 2015-12-01 21:03
*** Radical and massive internal changes in preparation of Preview 2.0. If you
don't note anything of this then all worked out well.
! List: Drawing glitch after attempting to drag a folder (among other
selected items) into itself. Fixed.
! List: Wrong error message on attempting to drag a folder (among other
selected items) into itself. Fixed.
! UDC: Since v11.00.0021 - 2012-05-14 08:47 you could not define
accelerators in the captions anymore using &. Fixed.

v16.00.0212 - 2015-11-30 16:28
+ SC readurl enhanced: Added an argument to pass the code page.
Syntax: readurl(url, [nocookies], [StripHTML], [flags], [codepage])
codepage: code page.
Some common code pages:
CP_SHIFT_JIS = 932 'Japanese
CP_GB2312 = 936 'Simplified Chinese (PRC, Singapore)
CP_Korean = 949 'Korean (EUC)
CP_BIG5 = 950 'Traditional Chinese (BIG5)
CP_Thai = 874 'Thai
CP_UTF7 = 65000
CP_UTF8 = 65001
Example (a Japanese website encoded in UTF-8):
text readurl("http://www.yoshidakaban.com/company/",,,,65001);
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: ReadUrlUTF8
Action: Identical to ReadUrl, but defaults to decoding the contents as UTF-8.
Syntax: readurlutf8(url, [nocookies], [StripHTML], [flags], [codepage=65001])
Remarks:
- Many (if not most) websites are UTF-8 encoded, so I added a
simpler way to handle this than passing "65001" for codepage.
Example (a Japanese website encoded in UTF-8):
text readurlutf8("http://www.yoshidakaban.com/company/");

v16.00.0206 - 2015-11-28 16:02
! Rename Special | Edit Item Names: Errored out since recently. Fixed.
+ Rename Special | Edit Item Names: Now also this function supports "Move on
Rename". Maybe not extremely useful here but, well, the option is there.
Code: Select all
v16.00.0205 - 2015-11-27 21:46
+ Air: I decided that in the age of huge high res screens we can spare a
couple of pixels to achieve a lighter, airier, less cramped overall
impression. Here are the changes for screens sized at least 1200 x 800:
- Tree line height: +2 pixels
- List line height: +2 pixels
- Catalog line height: +2 pixels
- Breadcrumb Bars height: +2 pixels
- All small lists: +0 pixels (unchanged)
Of course, these are just the factory defaults. All of these metrics can
be changed on-the-fly using Ctrl+Shift+Wheel over the controls.
+ Toolbar | Save Settings: Now the button's tooltip tells you how it's been
since you last saved the settings.

v16.00.0204 - 2015-11-27 09:52
! Rename Special: Since v16.00.0202 paths got confused when doing a Rename
Special on search results or a branch view. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v16.00.0203 - 2015-11-26 18:49
+ Rename Special | Batch Rename: Added switch /o for "Overwrite on
Collision". If you want to automatically overwrite same-named existing
files without further questions, append "/o" to your pattern! Note that
nothing can restore file once they have been overwritten. No return
ticket.
+ SC rename enhanced: Added a new value to the "flags" parameter for
"Overwrite on Collision".
Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
[itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
flags: (binary field, defaults to 1)
128: Overwrite on collision. No questions, no undo.
Note that this flag does the same as the /o switch, but it's much easier
to handle when taking patterns e.g. from the clipboard.
Examples:
rename b, <clipboard>, p, , 128; //Overwrite on collision
rename r, "Sugar > Honey", p, , 128; //Overwrite on collision
+ Breadcrumb Bars: Now you can modify the height of the Breadcrumb Bars
on-the-fly by Ctrl+Shift+Wheel over any of them. I thought they looked a
bit thin on today's screens... and some of you might want larger drop
targets. BTW, it's in 2-pixel steps to avoid certain rounding issues with
the vertical centering of the contents.
Code: Select all
v16.00.0202 - 2015-11-26 10:14
+ Move on Batch Rename: Now you can state absolute paths in the patterns.
Examples:
E:\<datem yyyy>\*
F:\Photos\<dateexif yyyy>\<dateexif mm>\*
Notes on Move on Batch Rename:
- Yesterday I said "Move on Rename works only within the same volume (same
drive letter)." Today I found out that it works cross-volume on Win 8.1.
Cool, apparently this has been silently added by MS.
- Not supported not work on Portable Devices.
+ Rename Special | Search and Replace: Also here "Move on Rename" is now
supported. Example:
Pattern: Delta/Omega\Plus
From: E:\Test\b\Saturn.exe\Delta2.jpg
To: E:\Test\b\Saturn.exe\Omega\Plus2.jpg
* Drives Listing: Since v16.00.0108 polling the bytes is always skipped for
mapped network drives. I changed this: Now you need to set a tweak to skip
polling those bytes:
NetworkDriveSkipPollingBytes=1
Code: Select all
v16.00.0201 - 2015-11-25 22:39
+ Rename Special | Batch Rename: Now Batch Rename supports move on rename,
tada! This feature allows you to automatically move masses of files by
certain criteria to certain folders, for example by their modified date
using the following Batch Rename pattern:
<datem yyyy-mm-dd>\* = by day
<datem yyyy-mm>\* = by month
<datem yyyy>\* = by year
A more popular use case would probably be to automatically move photos to
folders based on each file's embedded exif date taken:
<dateexif yyyy-mm-dd>\* = by day
<dateexif yyyy-mm>\* = by month
<dateexif yyyy>\* = by year
And, of course, using the powerful <prop> variable you can achieve
quite some cool automation here, e.g. distribute photos to folders
according to their Aspect Ratio, their Film Simulation Mode, or many many
other properties.
Notes:
- "Configuration | Sort and Rename | Rename | Allow move on rename" has to
be is ticked to enable this functionality.
- Move on Rename works only with the same volume (same drive letter).
- The necessary subfolders are automatically created under the parent
folders of the files.
- Nice plus: The Rename Preview lets you see the target paths before
anything actually happens.
* Various Information | UTC Offset: Changed whacky "-00:00" to "±00:00".
Code: Select all
v16.00.0109 - 2015-11-24 10:17
* Network: Experimentally the login prompt is now also popped on
ERROR_BAD_NETPATH ("The network path was not found."). Makes sense on
servers that restrict share enumeration to authenticated users.
! Scripting | Foreach | Flag "e": The innermost Foreach loops broke out of
all Foreach loops if the list for the innermost loop was empty and flag
was set to "e". Fixed.
* Updated the help file.
Code: Select all
v16.00.0108 - 2015-11-23 18:40
* Drives Listing: Now polling the bytes is always skipped for mapped network
drives. There is no fast and reliable way to detect whether the drives are
available or not.
* Floating Preview | Title Bar: Inverted (almost) the yesterday's changes in
v16.00.0106. Now the percentage is shown in square brackets when Zoom
In/Out is in effect.
! List: In Full Row Select style the focus line was not drawn when the Name
column was out of view. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v16.00.0107 - 2015-11-22 21:54
* Floating Preview: Now when the current scaling is implied (not explicitly
set by the user but also affected by the dimensions of the image and the
size of the preview window) then the scale percentage displayed in the
window title bar is in square brackets. In that case the scale will
usually change when you load a new image with different dimensions.
! Network: Issues with network enumeration on some non-English systems
(since a couple of versions ago). Fixed.
