    + Find Files: Now you can find files by size using the new field 
      prefix "size:". 
      Sure, there is already the "Size" tab but this enhancement opens 
      find-by-size to the Quick Name Search and hence also to Scripting.
      Usage:
        Simply prefix "size:" to the search term in the Name field. All 
        usual file size units are supported, just like in the Color 
        Filters by size.
      Examples:
        - Find all files exactly 999 bytes long:
          size: 999
        - Find all files of 1 MB or larger:
          size: >= 1MB
        - Find all folders (here folders have no size):
          size:
        - Find all empty files:
          size: 0
      This new field is particularly useful for reducing the work when 
      searching for files with a certain hash value. When you happen to 
      know the exact size or at least the approximate size of the files 
      you are looking for you can save a lot of time. For example:
      - Find all files between 5MB and 6MB AND with a certain hash value 
      (the first colon marks Boolean mode):
        :size: > 5MB AND size: < 6MB AND prop:#Hash.MD5:db24bcdf4098bda916a949f5554d2110
    > That's it for 2013. See ya back in 2014. Enjoy the upgrade! :)

v13.50.0017 - 2013-12-31 12:32
    + SC property enhanced: Added argument "#Hash.[HashName]" to return 
      a particular hash value of a file.
        #Hash.MD5    = MD5 hash value of a file
      The argument is not case-sensitive, so this would work as well:
        #hash.md5    = MD5 hash value of a file
      Supported values for HashName are:
        MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, CRC32
      Examples:  
        text property("#Hash.MD5");  //defaults to current list item
        text property("#Hash.SHA512");  //defaults to current list item
        text property("#Hash.MD5", "E:\Test\funstuff\goodfellas.jpg");
      For your interest, you could use this property also in Color 
      Filters, but it is not recommended because it would extremely slow 
      down browsing. For example (don't do this at home), this color 
      filter will color all files with a certain MD5 value:
        prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
    + Find Files: The above addition becomes really interesting when 
      applied to Find Files, since now you can find files by their hash 
      value. For example, you can enter something like this into the 
      Name field:      
        prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
      This find-files-by-hash also works in Quick Name Search (F3), or 
      direcly via the Address Bar:
        ?prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
      Of course, this kind of search can take quite a lot of time, 
      especially if you don't limit it by further constraints, e.g. a 
      Boolean connection to a certain name:      
        :*.png AND prop:#Hash.MD5:58172fd15526e1249ac8bfd690ced076
      However, it might become handy once in a while to have the option 
      to find files by their hash value, especially since AFAIK no other 
      tool can do this.
      Another obvious use of this functionality is to find duplicates of 
      a certain file that you know the hash of.
    ! Toolbar: Since v13.50.0009 the toolbar lost its separators after 
      customizing it. Fixed.

    * Since v6.60.0041 - 2007-12-02 15:38 you could unconditionally add 
      non-existing servers to the Network node simply by entering them 
      through the Address Bar. This is not expected and pretty useless. 
      I stopped it.
      Note that it still works if "Configuration | Controls and More | 
      Miscellaneous | Assume that servers are available" is ticked. Then 
      the behavior is expected and desired.

      Affected commands:
        File | Delete (Del)
        File | File Special | Delete (No Recycle Bin) (Shift+Del)
        File | File Special | Delete (Skip Locked) (Ctrl+Del)

    + Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous: Added "Support 
      volume labels in paths". So now this feature is optional. Factory 
      default is ON.    
    ! Named Drives: Did not work in multi-location name searches. Fixed. 
      Now you can do stuff like this:
        Tiger:\Pics\;Lion:\Test\?*.png
    ! Named Drives: Did not work in Drives mode. Fixed.
    > Tips for naming drives: '@', '!', and '%' are valid characters in 
      a volume label. But they create possibilities for parsing mess:
      - '@a:\' takes you to the volume named '@a' unless '@a:\' is 
        defined as an alias.
      - '!dir:\' runs an invalid DOS command instead of taking you to 
        the volume named '!dir'.
      - With environment variable 'MyDrive' set to 'Q', '%MyDrive%:\' 
        takes the user to 'Q:\' instead of the volume named '%MyDrive%' 
        (which is okay if the volume mounted at 'Q:' is named 
        '%MyDrive%').
      So: Don't use such crazy Volume Labels when you enable "Support 
      volume labels in paths". Thanks to TheQwerty for discovering this 
      hairy stuff.
    ! SC readfile: Did not check user-added text file types for being 
      UTF-8 when "UTF-8 auto-detection" was enabled. Fixed.
    * Configuration | Styles | Focus rectangle: Now this setting is also 
      respected by the file list when the focused item is not selected. 
      Before, a non-selected focused item would always get the Focus 
      rectangle. (This change had been removed 20131121 but since XY can 
      draw the Themes focus rectangle it's okay again.)

    + Named Drives: Now, for the sake of portability, you can specify 
      paths using their name (Volume Label) instead of the drive letter.
      So, for example, if your drive C: is called "TheSystem", then 
      these two paths will refer to the same location:
        C:\Windows
        TheSystem:\Windows
      Works wherever portable paths work.
    ! History: Toggling Branch View added the current folder to the 
      history again and again if "Configuration | Refresh, Icons, 
      History | History | History without duplicates" was not ticked. 
      Fixed.
    ! List: In Thumbnails view you got an error when a LNK to a non-
      existing folder was shown. Fixed.

    * Configuration Dialog: Position was not remembered across sessions. 
      Now it is.
    * External Copy Handlers: The passed target path is now unslashed 
      else the quoted argument ends with \" which is interpreted as an 
      escaped quote by Windows and might confuse the receiving program.
      Exception: Drive roots; they need the slash and don't need to be 
      quoted.
      However, FastCopy has a bizarre special rule where the trailing 
      slash makes a difference! If the target is not slashed AND the 
      source consists of exactly one folder then the contents of that 
      source folder are copied to the target, else the source folder 
      itself (with its contents) is copied. Since the latter is the 
      expected behavior in Windows, I have to ensure the trailing slash 
      with FastCopy.
    * External Copy Handlers: The internally used source items file is 
      now created in the user's temp folder and deleted on exiting 
      XYplorer. Before, it was created in the copy handler's app data 
      folder and not deleted.
    * Menu File | To Clipboard: The three "Name(s), Bytes, Modified..." 
      commands now return the time stamp in ISO 8601 format. That way 
      the information is internationally understandable.
    * Find Files: Now in Loose Boolean Match, any empty (or spaces-only) 
      patterns are ignored. Before, they would have been treated as if 
      they were * (asterisk = match all). Now these search terms all 
      lead to identical searches and search results:
        *.txt;*.zip
        *.txt;*.zip;
        *.txt;;*.zip
        *.txt;   ;*.zip

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

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

Code: Select all

v13.50.0000 - 2013-12-17 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ External Copy Handlers. Now you can let external copy handlers 
      handle your copy and move operations. Currently FastCopy and 
      TeraCopy are supported.
  +++ Tree Node Crumbs. Now you can select any child folder of a folder 
      without opening the whole node. Simply right-click the plus/minus 
      symbol of the folder to pop a list of all child folders. This is 
      especially useful with the Mini Tree.
  +++ Fuzzy Favorites. Now Favorite Folders and Favorite Files support 
      the wildcard *. The first match will be used. Useful to bookmark 
      items with variable names.
  +++ Copy Distributed Items. Now you can pass a file containing a list 
      of source items to a copy or move operation. This way you can very 
      easily copy distributed items spread across your system and 
      network in one go. This can mean an enormous usability boost.
