XYplorer Beta Club
Code: Select all
v13.70.0119 - 2014-02-06 21:12
+ Extra Tags: Added a couple of column types. Here is an overview of the current
state of affairs.
Currently you can set these types only via scripting, e.g. a Date column
and a YesNo column:
extratag(1, "Downloaded|2|0|0|||||");
extratag(2, "Keeper|3|0|0|||||");
Later there will be a GUI in Configuration. (The other fields are not used
yet and reserved for future use. )
The numeric column ID corresponding to each column type is shown in parentheses:
- Text (0): Free text, multiline.
Editable via right-click, multi-line edit box.
- Number (1): Integer value, negative allowed. Fractions might be supported later.
Range: Double (double-precision floating-point), 8 bytes.
-1.79769313486231E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values;
4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.

! Extra Tags: Column headers empty on fresh start. Fixed.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
