v14.80.0226 - 2015-02-05 12:45
+ Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Safety Belts: Added option "Treat
portable devices as read-only". Tick it to allow only copying from, and no
other file operations to or from or on any portable device.
Note: The main purpose of this setting is to protect you from the severe
shell bug mentioned in v14.80.0221 - 2015-01-30 14:38. And, since MTP
seems to be a bit flaky, who knows what else does not work as it should.
But note that even this safety belt cannot intercept all file operations
triggered via the (drag and drop) shell context menu.
! File Find: "Match case" not honored in RegExp file search. Fixed.
! Auto-Refresh: Recycle Bin was not refreshed when deleting more than 9
items at once. Fixed.
! Action Log: The Deleted Name of a single deleted file was not always
retrieved. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0225 - 2015-02-03 10:40
+ Tweak to pop a warning for each settings file that cannot be written
because it's read-only (when saving settings).
SettingsWarnReadonly=1
! Auto-Refresh: Too often since 2015-01-30. Fixed.
! Toolbar: The "All Drives (Group)" button was not auto-refreshed after adding or
removing a removable drive. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0224 - 2015-02-02 16:35
+ Find Files: Added a way to limit the number of search results. Simply
append the new switch "/limit=n" (or short: /l=n) to the search term in
the name field.
Examples:
* /limit=10 limit the number of search results to 10 items
* /l=10 (same as above in short form)
* /limit=0 return nothing
* /limit=-1 return all (default, equal to omitting the switch)
Notes:
- The switch also works with Quick Name Search.
- Tag database search is also affected by this switch.
- When used together with the /p switch (return parents) the limit is
applied to the children, not to the returned parents.
+ Find Files: Added a way to limit the number of search results per
directory. Simply append the new switch "/limitperdir=n" (or short:
/lpd=n) to the search term in the name field.
Examples:
* /limitperdir=1 limit the number of search results per dir to 1 item
* /lpd=1 (same as above in short form)
* /limitperdir=0 return nothing per dir
* /limitperdir=-1 return all per dir (default, equal to omitting the switch)
Examples for search patterns with combined flags:
* /d /l=20 /maxdepth=1 //dirs only, limit to 20, search this level plus one
* /l=25 /lpd=2:flat //limit to 25 total, 2 per dir, Branch View
* /lpd=1:flat //limit 1 per dir, Branch View
Notes:
- The switch also works with Quick Name Search.
- Tag database search is NOT affected by this switch.
- In Branch View with "Let folders pass all filters" enabled the folders
don't count when checking the limit.
* Configuration | File Info Tips | Add the following extra fields: The Path
field is now also shown for items in Paper Folders.

v14.80.0223 - 2015-02-01 15:19
> Portable Devices: FYI, Portable Device support will be Pro Edition only
(not Free Edition).
> Portable Devices: Some devices act like read-only. E.g., you cannot create
items on them or rename existing items. All you can do is copy item from
the device to the PC. In these cases the API might fail silently, and XY is
informed about a success that never happened.
Especially nasty (and, just to make sure, this is also the case when
working with Explorer): You can move a file from such a device to the PC,
but you cannot move it back. One-way traffic!
! Portable Devices: Fixed another million of glitches.
! Wipe: Fixed a glitch in memory handling that could cause error message
under certain conditions.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0222 - 2015-01-31 20:50
+ Flat Select: Added Status Bar message.
* Flat Select: Does not toggle selections anymore when repeating the same
pattern. It's better to have a context-independent effect here.
* Flat Select: Does not highlight matches anymore. Reduce info overkill.
> Flat Select Tip: This line will unselect all:
>>>
! SC property: had a problem with <curpath> when <curpath> was a drive root,
e.g.:
text property("#ResolveJunctions", <curpath>);
Fixed.

v14.80.0221 - 2015-01-30 14:38
> Portable Devices Overview: What you can (+) and what you cannot (-) do.
+ Browse the device, list files and folders with all data columns provided
by the Windows shell.
+ Breadcrumb Bar.
+ Thumbnails (embedded thumbs only) with caching.
+ Find Files (Name, Size, Modified, Attributes). No search results caching.
+ Quick Search (Name, Size, Modified, Attributes).
+ Visual Filters (Name, Size, Modified, Attributes).
+ Color Filters (Name, Size, Modified, Attributes).
+ Branch View.
+ Custom File Icons.
+ File operations to, from, and on the device: Copy, Move, Rename, Delete, New.
+ Undo most of those file operations (Delete cannot be undone on a PD).
+ Batch Rename.
- Custom Copy and Backup operations.
- Backgrounded file operations.
- Open files, or drag them into open applications.
- Tags.
- Folder View Settings.
- PFA.
- Custom Columns.
- Raw View.
- Paper Folders (you cannot list PD paths in Paper Folders, or convert PD
folder to Paper Folders).
That's it from me. Ready for bug reports. :)
+ Portable Devices: Now Rename Special, and particular Batch Rename works on
Portable Devices.
! Filetimes: Since v14.80.0217 - 2015-01-28 14:42 the displayed filetimes
were lacking precision beyond milliseconds. Fixed. Now you can see all 7
decimal fractions again if you want.
! SC timestamp: y (year), m (month), and w (week) did not work yet. Fixed.
> FYI, the earliest valid filetime is 01.01.1601 00:00:00 UTC.
>>> Portable Devices: FYI, there is a serious shell bug (not an XYplorer bug;
Explorer has it, too) in Windows 8.1 that can lead to permanent data loss:
When moving an item to a Portable Device (from PC or from another location
of the Portable Device) where an item of the same name already exists then
on cancelling the overwrite prompt the move does not happen but the source
item is deleted anyway!!! Also X-closing the overwrite prompt will lead to
the destruction of the source item.
+ Spot and Jump: Added an additional mode "Select", marked by the prefix
>>>. So now you can select items by entering match patterns right from the
Address Bar. Multiple patterns separated by | are allowed.
Examples:
>>>Beyoncè //select all items matching *Beyoncè*
>>>ko|cha //select all items matching *ko* or *cha*
>>>ko*|*.txt //select all items matching ko* or *.txt
Remarks:
- This setting is honored by Select: "Configuration | Menus, Mouse,
Safety | Type Ahead Find | Ignore diacritics".
- The other settings under "Configuration | Menus, Mouse,
Safety | Type Ahead" Find are ignored.
- En passant, the "Select" toolbar button got a flatter icon.
- And yeah, a cool new flat way to select stuff!
Code: Select all
v14.80.0220 - 2015-01-29 18:21
+ SC timestamp enhanced: Now you can pass an additional argument to shift
the target timestamps back or forth in time.
And now you can pass "*" as a self-referential date argument if you just
want to apply time shifts to each item's current timestamps.
Syntax: timestamp [type = "cma"], [date / source_item], [itemlist], [source_type = "*"], [shift]
date: Set to "*" to use the item's own date
shift: A number and a unit, separated by a space.
The following units are supported
y = years
m = months
w = weeks
d = days
h = hours
n = minutes
s = seconds
ms = milliseconds
us = microseconds
Examples:
- Set all 3 dates of all selected List items to one day after now:
timestamp , , , , "1 d";
- Set all 3 dates of all selected List items to 30 seconds after the
focused item's dates:
timestamp , <focitem>, , , "30 s";
- Shift the modified and created dates of all selected List items to 8
hours earlier:
timestamp "mc", "*", , , "-8 h";
! Portable Devices: Fixed a million glitches.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0219 - 2015-01-29 13:03
+ SC timestamp enhanced. Now you can pass a source item whose timestamps are
applied to the target item(s).
Syntax: timestamp [type = "cma"], [date / source_item], [itemlist], [source_type = "*"]
type: c|m|a or any combinations in any order (cm, am, cma, ac...)
Defaults to "cma".
date: Timestamp to apply. Must be in a format that the local system
can understand.
Defaults to the current time.
source_item: Item whose timestamps are applied to the target item(s).
Note: The item must exist, otherwise the argument is taken to
mean a date!
itemlist: A |-separated list of items (full path) to timestamp.
If empty then the current list selections are timestamped.
source_type: One of "*|c|m|a" describing which date value from the source to use.
Defaults to "*" which uses the correct date for each
corresponding value in the type parameter.
Remarks:
- The timestamps are applied with full resolution (with milli, micro, nano etc
seconds ... whatever is there).
Examples:
- Set all 3 dates of all selected List items to match those of the focused item:
timestamp , <focitem>;
- Set the modified and created dates of all selected List items to the
focused item's accessed date:
timestamp 'mc', <focitem>, , 'a';
- For all selected List items set their modified date to the focused
item's modified date and their accessed date to the focused item's
accessed date:
timestamp 'ma', <focitem>, , '*';
timestamp 'ma', <focitem>; //functionally same as above
- Set all 3 dates of all selected List items to match those of Windows
Explorer:
timestamp 'cam', "C:\Windows\explorer.exe";
- Set all 3 dates of all selected List items to match those of XYplorer:
timestamp 'cam', <xy>;
+ Paper Folders: Now there is mild inofficial support for PFs in the Mini
Tree!
- You can add them to the Tree either via Minimize Tree, or by
directly editing the Mini Tree in List Management.
- They are listed below the drives.
- Click to browse.
- Cool: You can even drop items onto the PFs in Tree.
- Nothing about this in the Help for now.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0218 - 2015-01-28 21:13
! View | Mini Tree | Minimize Tree: Did not handle soft paths in a gentle
manner. Fixed.
! Timestamp Tolerance: Implementation in Sync Select only near-perfect.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0217 - 2015-01-28 14:42
+ Timestamp Tolerance: Because of the difference in timestamp precision
between NTFS (used by XP and later) and FAT32 (used on many USB drives and
Windows 95, 98, ME, 2K) of up to 2 seconds, XYplorer now tolerates a
difference of 2 seconds when comparing timestamps.
Note that the tolerance is also in effect when comparing files on NTFS
systems only, since by copying back and forth between NTFS and FAT32 the
imprecision can be propagated to NTFS.
This change affects Sync Select and Custom Copy / Backup operations where
overwriting is based on timestamp comparison. Where it makes a change it
should lead to a notable reduction of superfluous overwrite operations.
The value can be tweaked:
TimestampToleranceSecs=2
! Filetimes: DST (daylight saving time) was not honored as expected.
For example, the created time of a file that had been created at 18:00 in
summer (when DST was in effect), was shown in winter (when DST was not in
effect) as being created at 17:00. While 17:00 is the astronomically (more
or less) correct time it is Windows standard (and also user-friendlier) to
show the fake time that was valid in the moment the file was created (DST
in effect).
XYplorer now handles this just like Windows Explorer.
XP and later only.
! Custom Copy: Handling mount points did not work yet for subfolders of
mount points. Fixed.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0065.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0215 - 2015-01-27 17:03
* Panes | Sync Select...: Now when comparing file dates the non-localized
universal file times are compared. Before, the times had been localized
and then compared which could lead to false results for files on differing
file systems.
* Fresh Configuration: Fresh mode (originally introduced v12.40.0212 -
2013-05-27 12:50) now sets the App Data Path to subfolder "Fresh" of the
normal App Data Path. This way it's impossible that any of your everyday
settings are inadvertedly overwritten by the fresh instance.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0214 - 2015-01-27 11:00
* Drag and Drop: Attempt to get better results with certain drop targets.
* Custom Copy: Now it is checked whether the target path is a mount point.
In that case any free space testing is performed on the mount point
target.
* Custom Copy: Added error trapping for the unlikely case that preserving
the item dates fails for some reason. There should be an error message in
the copy report now that tells more about the problem.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0064.
Code: Select all
v14.80.0213 - 2015-01-26 12:55
+ Portable Devices: Now you can copy/cut and paste items via clipboard from
and to Portable Devices.
Notes:
- Copy/cut from PD to anywhere cannot be undone.
- The refresh of the source list (cut) is not reliable. Do it manually.
! Overlong Paths: The logic has been one off. Overlong paths are all paths
longer than 259 characters (NOT longer than 260 characters)!
Note further: The relevant character count includes any trailing backslash
(necessary for folder paths in some API contexts), but the "Len" column in
the file list always displays the length without any trailing backslash.
So a folder shown with a length of "259" might already be overlong in some
contexts since the backslash is yet to be added.
! Icons: A certain type of 256x256 icon resources was not yet supported.
Fixed.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0063.
