v26.50.0011 - 2024-10-12 20:38
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0261.
    ! SC Sync: The filter of folders did not filter all folders that should be filtered.
      The claim "If a folder does not pass the filter, the whole branch is out." was false 
      for subfolders of the filtered folder if it was not directly under the top folder. 
      For example, syncing D:\Folders\ with a filter "-debug\" did still copy any files 
      under D:\Folders\Filled\Debug\Temp\. Fixed.

    + SC get("exif"): Now you can use this function to retrieve formatted GPS data from 
      Exif data in photo files. Two formats are supported:
        echo get("exif", "gps");    //coords, eg: 51°10'41.8"N 1°49'35.9"W
        echo get("exif", "gpsdec"); //decimal, eg: 51.178278, -1.826639
      Both formats work with Google Maps when appended to https://www.google.com/maps/place/
    ! Fast Live Filter: Could not Ctrl+Lasso a fast-filtered list. Fixed.

v26.50.0006 - 2024-10-10 19:06
    % Content-Based Folder Icons: Revised one of the 6 icons in the release package:
        XYicon_FolderGeneric.ico
      This is now 100% the generic folder icon in Windows 11. The previous version was a 
      little darker.
    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Toolbar bookmarks did not yet support the /t switch 
      (branches with tagged items) right after startup.

    + Menu Tags: Added command "Remove Items from Database". Select it to remove all 
      selected list items from the tags database, i.e. remove all their labels, tags, 
      comments and extra tags.
      Useful. Without this command, you'd have to remove each label, tag, comment, and 
      extra tag individually, or go through the back door in Configuration | Information | 
      Tags | Options... | Edit Tagged Items...
    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Minor bugs fixed, speed improved.

v26.50.0004 - 2024-10-09 18:52
    ! Custom File Icons: The /n switch did not handle junctions correctly. Fixed.
    > Custom File Icons: FYI, determining whether a branch has files (/n switch) can get 
      tricky if down in the branch a junction points to a parent of itself. Just following 
      this will lead to an endless recursion (which will very quickly crash the app). 
      Solution: In this, almost illegally weird scenario, the function will *assume* that 
      there are files in the branch. This is better than a false "no files" report.

    + Menu View | Show Items: Added toggle "Show Custom File Icons". This finally allows 
      you to assign a keyboard shortcut. There is even a default one now: Alt+F9
    * Enable Custom File Icons: Renamed to "Show Custom File Icons" everywhere.
    + Custom File Icons: Added one more icon to the package, XYicon_FolderTagged.ico, a 
      pinkish version of the generic folder icon. To be used as the default choice in:
        *\ /t><xypath>\XYicon_FolderTagged.ico //matches all branches with tagged items
    + Tabs: Added a tweak to control the underlining of the caption of locked tabs:
        TabLockedUnderlined=0
      The factory default and previous hard setting is TabLockedUnderlined=1. Now you can 
      switch it off
    * Catalog: Now a location item pointing to ".." (it will go up) gets the "Up" button 
      icon instead of a folder icon that happens to be above the current app folder.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.191.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.191.lng is uploaded.

v26.50.0001 - 2024-10-08 14:56
    + Custom File Icons: Added another special switch /t to match all branches that 
      contain any tagged items, for example:
        *\ /t><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGreen.ico //matches all branches with tagged items
      Notes:
      - The check is only performed against the tags database, the tagged files themselves 
        are not accessed in any way. It's therefore very fast, but the results will 
        include any orphans in your tags database (orphans can occur when other programs 
        change the names or locations of tagged items).
      - It's all about the contents of the folder. Whether or not the folder itself is 
        tagged is irrelevant.
      - The /t icon takes precedence over any other content-based folder icon. The order 
        of the definitions is irrelevant here.
        However, other (non content-based) Custom File Icons will always overwrite any 
        content-based folder icon.
      - If such a CFI is defined and enabled, the (un)tagging of items will be a bit 
        slower than usual, because the folder icons in the whole interface have to be 
        checked for necessary adjustments.

Release Notes: https://www.xyplorer.com/release.php

Code: Select all

v26.50.0000 - 2024-10-07 17:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder Icons Based On Content. Now you can define a custom folder icon for branches 
      that do not contain files, but may contain folders. This icon is used everywhere, in 
      the folder tree, file list, all menus and drop-down lists, breadcrumb bars, address 
      bar, etc., so you can immediately see if a folder is just an empty structure without 
      any files.
  +++ Skip Custom Columns. Custom columns are often time-consuming, especially when 
      scripts are involved. This new option allows you to temporarily disable them when 
      the extra information is not needed.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

v26.40.0402 - 2024-10-06 16:27
    * Updated the help file.
    ! SC age: Fixed a conversion error caused by backward unit overflow escalation.
        echo age(3599501, 3); // 59 mins, 59 secs, 501 ms
        echo age(3599501, 2); // 1 hr, 0 mins ( <-- was "59 mins, 60 secs" before!)
        echo age(datediff("2022-10-7", "2024-10-01", "ms"), 3); // 1 year, 11 months, 25 days
        echo age(datediff("2022-10-7", "2024-10-01", "ms"), 2); // 2 years, 0 months ( <-- was "1 year, 12 months" before!)

v26.40.0401 - 2024-10-05 12:17
    + Custom File Icons: Added another special switch /n to match all branches that do not 
      contain files, but may contain folders:
        *\ /n><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGray.ico //matches all branches without files
      So there is now another content-based folder icon in addition to the three that 
      already exist:
        *\ /e><xypath>\XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
        *\ /f><xypath>\XYicon_FolderFilled.ico //matches all filled folders
        *\ /x><xypath>\XYicon_FolderDenied.ico //matches all inaccessible folders
      Notes:
        - If no /e (empty) icon is defined, /n (nofiles) will also match empty folders, 
          otherwise the empty icon will win.
          The order of the definitions is irrelevant to the above.
        - Of course, determining that a deep branch contains no files can take a while. So 
          use this switch responsibly.
    * Age: The age display and SC age now round up the remainder instead of cutting it 
      off. Note that unusual age terms such as "2 days 24 hrs" or "5 mins 60 secs" may now 
      appear. Take it easy. Sophistication is in the pipeline.

    * Colors: Changed the default colors for some elements:

                      Breadcrumb Bar 1    Breadcrumb Bar 2
      Active Back:    6F8FB0              A97369

      Selection Box:        6F8FB0
      Selection Background: 5096E2
      
    ! SC age: Fixed some remaining minimal inaccuracies with extremely high numbers. At 
      least as good as possible. The double precision floating point format has its 
      pitfalls; it can't be perfect. After 2^49, it starts to get blurry.
      Anyway, this one now comes out 1 ms longer (and it was already quite long): 
        echo age(2^81, 7); //76,618,668,343,801 years, 4 months, 20 days, 3 hrs, 42 mins, 39 secs, 808 ms
    ! Custom Event Actions: Some CEA did not work anymore with control keys since 20240925. Fixed.

    ! SC age: The algorithm had various problems with certain input values. Now it should 
      handle them all correctly and gracefully. Extreme values should also run smoothly, 
      e.g:
        echo age(2^81, 7); //76,618,668,343,801 years, 4 months, 20 days, 3 hrs, 42 mins, 39 secs, 807 ms
      Btw, the new algorithm changed these ones by one day:
        echo age(datediff("2024-08-08", "2024-09-09", ms));  //1 month, 1 day
        echo age(datediff("2024-09-08", "2024-10-09", ms));  //1 month, 0 days
