Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v13.80.0001 - 2014-02-25 20:08
    + Find Files: Added a way to limit the search depth. Simply append the new 
      switch "/maxdepth=n" to the search term in the name field.
      Example:
        *.txt /maxdepth=0           only search the current location
        *.txt /maxdepth=1           only search the current location and one level deeper
        *.txt /maxdepth=2           only search the current location and two levels deeper
      The switch can be combined with the "one-letter" switches that are 
      already supported for a long time. Both terms are equivalent:
        * /dr /maxdepth=2           find all directories in the current location and two levels deeper
        * /maxdepth=2 /dr           find all directories in the current location and two levels deeper
      Notes:
      - The switch also works with Quick Name Search.
      - /maxdepth=-1 is equal to unlimited depth, i.e. equal to omitting the 
        switch.
      - There is a shortform for the switch: /md=n
      - Tag database search is not affected by this switch.
    * Find Files: Now, when you pass flags but omit any flags affecting the 
      inclusion of subfolders then the UI setting of Include Subfolders is used.
      Before, this would have resulted in a non-recursive search (a search not 
      including any subfolders).
      So, these terms are now equivalent IF "Include Subfolders" is ticked:
      * /d /maxdepth=2 
      * /dr /maxdepth=2 
    * Extra Tags: "Customize Extra Column..." is now called "Customize 
      Column...".
    ! List: Thumbnails for shortcuts to folders were not displayed. Fixed.
    ! SC PopupMenu's count parameter only treated omitting it as -1. Fixed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: 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.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

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

Code: Select all

v13.80.0000 - 2014-02-24 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Extra Tags. Five optional extra columns in the file list let you assign 
      user data of various formats (free text, checkboxes, rating stars, date 
      stamps, linked locations, and more) to any file and folder. By these data 
      you can then sort the file list and find files across your system at 
      lightning fast speed.
  +++ Paste and Find. Now you can find, focus, and highlight files simply by 
      pasting their name into the file list. Smart time saver.

    * Breadcrumb Bar: The right-click menu command "Paste and Search" now 
      searches the right-clicked path. Before, it searched the current path.
    * Paste to Type Ahead Find: Has been called "Paste and Search" before, but 
      now it's called "Paste and Find" to distinguish it from the Breadcrumb 
      Bar's "Paste and Search".
    * Paste and Find: Now it ignores the match setting of Type Ahead Find. 
      Paste and Find always uses "Match anywhere".
    * Paste and Find: Now it honors the setting of Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety 
      | Type Ahead Find | Enable type ahead find.
    * Updated the help file.

v13.70.0160 - 2014-02-21 16:09
    * MLS: Greatly simplified the language selection.
      - Completely removed the command "Download Language File..." from menu Help.
      - Menu Help | Select Language... now opens the same "Select Language" 
        dialog that you get on a fresh start in a non-English locale. However, 
        here the currently loaded language is preselected, not the one you are 
        likely to choose.
        Selecting a language will download it from the internet.
        If the system is not online, then dialog to load a local language file 
        is opened.
      - There is still a way to load a local language file: Hold CTRL while you 
        click "Select Language...".
      - There is still a way to show the old dialog: Hold CTRL+SHIFT while you 
        click "Select Language...".
    * MLS | Select Language dialog: Now the English form of the language names 
      is shown in parentheses, and localized languages names are shown from XP 
      onwards (not Vista onwards).
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

    * MLS: Now in the "Please Select a Language" dialog on a fresh startup the 
      language of the current locale is preselected if it is found in the list.
    * List: Changed the way checkbox selection works. Now the item is selected 
      on mouse up (instead of mouse down), and the focus is moved to the ticked 
      item, so the ticked item will become the new current item. This way is 
      accordance with Explorer's behavior, and is much better when you want to 
      pick out certain items for selection by previewing them first in the 
      preview tab.

    * Configuration | Thumbnails | Create all thumbnails at once: This setting 
      is now ignored in Find mode (Search Results and Branch View). Otherwise it 
      would delay browsing too much.
    ! CHM Help: Popped *under* the main Window instead of above it on a fresh 
      install, at least under Win8. Probably fixed, sometimes, maybe. Still a 
      total bizarre mystery.
    ! CHM Help: The recent CHM help did not find any topics anymore. Fixed.
    * Updated the help file.

    ! Comparing files was temporarily shattered. Fixed.
    > FYI, <get curitem> is not the same as <curitem>:
      - <curitem> = the currently selected and focused item.
      - <get curitem> = the currently selected and focused item, or if there is 
        none then the previously selected and focused item.

    + MLS: Now, on a fresh start you get a simple "Please Select a Language" 
      dialog to immediately choose the interface language of your choice. The 
      dialog is only shown if your Windows locale is not English and if you are 
      online.
      A dummy "English" is shown and preselected in the list to make things 
      even clearer. If you OK "English" then simply nothing will happen.
    * Updated the help file.

v13.70.0137 - 2014-02-18 11:51
    * Find Files: Removed the master prefix "#:" for search terms that was added 
      to v13.70.0129.
      Now the same fuctionality is achieved by appending the switch /t to the 
      search term. Use it to confine the search to all items present in the tags 
      database (tag.dat). Examples (ready for pasting into the Address Bar):
      - List all items (excluding any orphans) in the database:
        *?* /t
      - List all TXT items in the database:
        *?*.txt /t
      - List all tagged items in the current location with no comment:
        ?cmt:"" /t
      - List all tagged items in the current location without comment AND number 5 in ex2:
        ?:cmt:"" and ex2:5 /t
        ----------------------------------------
        ? = search
         : = Boolean term
          cmt: = comment
              "" = empty
                 and = Boolean AND
                     ex2: = extra tag 2
                         5 = value 5
                           /t = in tags database
        ----------------------------------------
      - Invert the previous results: List all tagged items in the current 
        location NOT without comment AND number 5 in ex2:
        ?!:cmt:"" and ex2:5 /t
    * SC report: Updated behavior to the recent changes in the Checkbox column 
      data structure:
      Columns of type Checkbox can be formatted like this:
      {extra 4 yn}    = Show localized "Yes" (non-empty) or "No" (empty)
      {extra 4 y}     = Show localized "Yes" (non-empty) or nothing (empty)
      {extra 4}       = Show the raw contents
      There is also a fully customizable format for the non-empty/empty states:
        {extra 4 OnNonEmpty|OnEmpty}  = Show "OnNonEmpty" on non-empty, "OnEmpty" else
      Example (assuming Extra 4 is a Checkbox column):
         text report("{name}: {extra 4 Done|To Do}<crlf>");   
    * Temporary variable <taggedcolumn>: Before, it resolved to the column ID (as used 
      by SC tag) that is being tagged via clicking a column cell. Now, it 
      resolves to the caption of the column that is being tagged via clicking a 
      column cell.
