    ! Thumbnails: Minor inconveniences with various combinations of "Show cached 
      thumbnails only", "Create all thumbnails at once", "Create Missing 
      Thumbnails", and "Refresh Thumbnails". Better.
      Note: "Create Missing Thumbnails" now always creates ALL missing 
      thumbnails, also when "Create all thumbnails at once" is OFF.

v15.20.0001 - 2015-05-19 15:53
    + Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Type Ahead Find: Added option 
      "Paste and find". Tick it to enable Type Ahead Find by pasting text 
      directly into the list.
      Note: This feature had been hard-coded since v13.70.0101 - 2014-01-24 
      22:34. Now it's optional. Factory default is OFF. Reason: There are 
      possible conflicts with pasting stuff from Outlook. If you get those 
      conflicts turn off "Paste and find".
    + Toolbar: The right-click menu of View related buttons now features the 
      command "Create Missing Thumbnails" if "Show cached thumbnails only" is 
      ON. You can use to create those thumbnails that are missing from the 
      cache, and have them added to the cache.
      There is a little unavoidable (but maybe also useful because it save time) 
      complication here: If "Create all thumbnails at once" is OFF then "Create 
      Missing Thumbnails" will ignore missing thumbnails that have not been 
      within the view port yet (been scrolled into view).
    * View | Caches | Refresh Thumbnails: From now on this command *always* 
      refreshes *all* thumbnails in the current list, independently of the 
      setting of these:
      - Configuration | Thumbnails | Show cached thumbnails only
      - Configuration | Thumbnails | Create all thumbnails at once
    ! File | Properties: Did not work reliably for multiple items (since 
      20150420). Fixed.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Download: http://www.xyplorer.com/download.php

Code: Select all

v15.20.0000 - 2015-05-18 20:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Drop Stacks. It will take you no more than 30 seconds to create a drop 
      stack in the toolbar, a 24x24 pixel landing place where you can drop files 
      to virtual folders. Extremely handy. And you can have many of them. (Pro 
      Edition Only)
  +++ Thumbnail Files. Now you can save the thumbnails of images as files. So 
      you can actually do something with those thumbnails beyond just staring at 
      them. (Pro Edition Only)
  +++ Auto-Select First Item. Now you can have the first list item auto-selected 
      when entering a new folder. Some cannot live without this.
  +++ Link View. Quickly check what a shortcut points to before you open it.
  +++ Network Speed. Enjoy speed improvements and smoother handling of 
      unavailable network locations.

v15.10.0016 - 2015-05-17 16:07
    * Toolbar: The right-click menu of View related buttons now *always* 
      features some of the thumbnail related commands (not only in thumbnails 
      views). That way you can quickly configure the thumbnails views *before* 
      entering them. Useful.
    * Toolbar: The temporarily called "-- Cache Read Only --" toggle is now 
      called "Read-Only Cache".
      This is probably not the last name. It's work in progress... The toggle 
      might later be added to main menu and configuration.
    ! SC html: Drawing glitch with > 100% DPI settings. Fixed.
    ! Catalog: Inserting Favorite Files as Category didn't honour the captions 
      (if any). Fixed.
    ! Tabs: Under certain conditions the history of the default tab was lost 
      after auto-switching to it when selection a new location in a locked tab. 
      Fixed.
    * Updated the help file.

v15.10.0015 - 2015-05-16 15:19
    + Thumbnails: Experimentally added a "read only" (or "view only" or "cache 
      only" ... work in progress) mode for thumbnails:
      - Only thumbnails present in the thumbnails cache are shown.
      - Missing thumbnails are NOT automatically created.
      - The benefit: Ultra-fast browsing in thumbnails views in any location! 
      Additional remarks:
      - You still can explicitly create new thumbnails by using the various 
        "Refresh Thumbnails" commands. In that case the cache on disk will be 
        updated.
        So, the "read only" mode yields more control to you: Now *you* decide 
        when thumbnails are created and which, or whether you only want to view 
        the already existing thumbnails.
      - The "read only" mode is ignored if "Cache thumbnails on disk" is OFF.
      Note: It's currently implemented only as a tweak:
        CacheReadOnly=1
      ... and you find a toggle "-- Cache Read Only --" in the right-click menu 
      of the View related toolbar buttons when in a thumbnails view. When you 
      toggle it OFF then any missing thumbnails are created right away.
    * Thumbnails: From now on, MDBU in thumbnails views will also work on files 
      that are not showing a thumbnail at the moment. This can happen caused by 
      the new "read only" mode. Simply mousedown on the icon to get the blow up.      
    * Visual Filters: Now any XY variables in a filter pattern are resolved 
      *before* the filter is added to the MRU list.
      Hence you now can use a Visual Filter like this per tab and across 
      sessions in the expected way:
        <get SpotPatterns>
      FYI, the above variable returns the last applied Type Ahead Find or Spot 
      patterns in a |-separated list. BTW, these patterns are not remembered 
      across sessions. (The Visual Filters using them are remembered.)

    + Scripting got a new command.

    % Network: Tried to improve the speed of selecting an item in slow networks. 
      FYI, selecting-avec-focusing an item will always fill the Properties tab 
      of the Info Panel (whether it's visible or not). Gathering this 
      information may take a notable bit of time in slow networks. Now it might 
      be a notable bit faster.

      of the *.dat2 files to the new path. Fixed.

    ! Thumbnails: Renaming a folder with thumbnails did not smartly update the 
      thumbnails cache anymore (but forced a re-creation of the thumbnails) 
      since 20140919. Fixed.
      Note that as long as XYplorer is running and auto-refresh is enabled, even 
      renaming a thumbnail folder in another application will smartly update the 
      thumbnails cache (actually all affected thumbnails caches). XYplorer does 
      not have to be in that folder, nor does it have to be in thumbnails mode.
    ! Network: Network locations outside the primary domain did not pop the 
      logon dialog when they should. Attempted fix #2.
