    * Crumbs: Now you cannot select an item from the dropdown by right 
      button anymore. Instead you now get a minimal right-click menu 
      with copy functions. Rather a proof of concept. More interesting 
      stuff is possible later.
    ! Tree Node Crumbs: Did not respect a Locked Tree. Fixed.
    ! Tree Node Crumbs: Fixed some glitches and improved the dropdown 
      positioning when space is scarce.
    ! Custom Move: "Preserve Item Dates" did not preserve folders' 
      modified times on cross-volume moves for folders that contained 
      files. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0044.

v13.40.0001 - 2013-11-27 18:57
  +++ Mini Tree: Sensationally and experimentally the final missing 
      piece to total perfection has been added to the Mini Tree on a 
      single, cold, and sunny Cologne afternoon. Now you can select any 
      child folder of a visible node without opening the node! Simply 
      right-click the PlusMinus icon in front of the node to pop a list 
      of all child folders.
      Notes:
      - Child folders that are not yet present in the Mini Tree are 
        colored with "Marked Text 2" color in the popup.
      - Right-click the same PlusMinus icon again to hide the popup.
      - Works also in the Maxi Tree, but of course it's less interesting 
        there.    
    + SC GetTokenIndex enhanced: Added flag to count the occurences of a 
      certain token in a token list.
      Action: Returns the first index of a token in a token list, or the 
              count of its occurences.
      Syntax: gettokenindex(token, tokenlist, [separator=|], [flags=iw]);
        token:      token to find in list of tokens
        tokenlist:  list of tokens
        separator:  separator used in list of tokens
        flags:
          i = Matching is case insensitive (A==a).
          w = Token has wildcards.
              If missing then token is treated literally.
              If included and token does not contain wildcards treat it 
              as *token*.
          c = Return count the occurences.
        returns:
            0 = If token was not found in the list.
            Otherwise return the first index (from left) of the token 
            within the list (1 = first position).
            On flag c: Count the occurences.
      Examples:
        echo gettokenindex("xls*", "docx|doc|xlsx|xls", , "w");   //3 (index)
        echo gettokenindex("xls*", "docx|doc|xlsx|xls", , "wc");  //2 (count)
    ! FVSVF: Fixed some glitches.

    ! Menu File | File Special | Delete (Skip Locked): Did not recognize 
      locked files as "Locked" under Vista and later since a while ago. 
      Fixed.
    ! List: The Type column got confused with files starting with a dot. 
      Fixed by removing a recent change (see here below).
    - The following attempt from v13.10.0101 - 2013-10-15 18:46 lead to 
      more problems than it solved. Undid the change:
      ! SC zip_add: Race condition: Sometimes the created ZIP would be 
        shown in the list before the copying process was completed. You 
        could even open it in that unfinished state and then see only 
        parts of the expected files contained. After a while the ZIP would 
        be completely filled. Fixed: Now the ZIP is only shown when the 
        process is completed.
    - Removed the following change from v13.10.0150 - 2013-10-30 17:49:
      * List: Before, file like ".htaccess" would show "htaccess" in the 
        extension column. Now, the extension column is empty because 
        "htaccess" is not the extension of such files.
      Reason: It does not confirm to the Windows standards. Windows 
      clearly sees a file called ".txt" as a Text File. So the extension 
      of ".htaccess" IS "htaccess".

v13.30.0101 - 2013-11-20 12:50
    + New variable <get driveletter [drivename] [path]> returns the 
      first drive letter matching the given drivename (aka volume 
      label). An optional path parameter can be used to format the 
      returned string.
      Syntax: <get driveletter [drivename] [path]>
        drivename:  Drive name (defaults to the current path).
        path:       Any path with a drive letter, or a "?" in the place 
                    of the drive letter. If the function finds a 
                    matching drive letter then it will replace the drive 
                    letter in [path] with it and return the new path.
        return:     The drive letter, or the path with the drive letter.
                    If no matching drive letter is found nothing is 
                    returned.
      Examples (drive F:\ is named "Fun"):
        echo <get driveletter>; //E (if E:\ is current drive)
        echo <get driveletter "Fun">; //F
        echo <get driveletter "Fun" "?:\">; //F:\
        echo <get driveletter "Fun" "X:\">; //F:\
        echo <get driveletter "Fun" "C:\Windows">; //F:\Windows
      Or as a function:
        echo get("driveletter", "Fun", "C:\Windows"); //F:\Windows
      
      Usage:
      This variable allows you to refer to drives via their name which 
      can be very useful when you have no control or knowledge about how 
      the host system assigns the drive letters. Compare the usual hard 
      and the new soft approach to referring to a file:
        open "E:\Test\Edit.txt";  //hard drive letter
        open get("driveletter", "Fun", "?:\Test\Edit.txt"); //soft drive letter
    + SC get got a new named argument "list_recentlyopenedfiles".
      Syntax: get("list_recentlyopenedfiles", [separator=CRLF])
        [separator]:  String to place between items.
                      Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        return:       List of recently opened files (as used in menu 
                      File | Open...).
      Examples:
        text get("list_recentlyopenedfiles");
        goto inputselect("Goto to any of the Recently Opened Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);
        open inputselect("Open any of the Recently Opened Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);

v13.30.0011 - 2013-11-19 14:30
    + Tweak to control the text color of the selected tree folder in the 
      unfocused tree. The format is not RRGGBB but a Long (DWord) value 
      equivalent to 0x00BBGGRR.
      For example, this would be white (0x00FFFFFF):
        clrTreeSelNoFocusText=16777215
      This would be red (0x000000FF):
        clrTreeSelNoFocusText=255
    * SC formatbytes: Now the first argument accepts the dot and the 
      local decimal separator as decimal separator. This is relevant 
      only in locales where the decimal separator is not the dot, of 
      course.
    ! Tweak AddToRecentDocs: Did not work with PFA-opened items. Fixed.

    * Variable to get drivename now has another argument "flags". Also

        path: path (defaults to the current path)
        flags: (bit field)
          0 = return drive name without drive letter
          1 = return the drive letter as well 
              (formatted according to system settings found in registry)
      Examples:
        echo get("drivename", "E"); //drive E:\, without drive letter
        echo get("drivename", "E", 1); //drive E:\, with drive letter
        echo get("drivename"); //current path, without drive letter
        echo get("drivename", , 1); //current path, with drive letter
        echo <get drivename  1>;  //current path, with drive letter
        echo <get drivename>; //current path, without drive letter

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v13.30.0008 - 2013-11-18 12:13
    + Scripting | Math Operations: Now, in German Windows, you can enter 
      fractional constants in international format (decimal separator = 
      dot) by leaving them unquoted. This is obviously the preferred way 
      to go now for locale-independent scripts.
      Examples that now work in any Windows:
        echo 17.5 * 2;        //35
        echo -17.5 * 2;       //-35
        echo 17.5 + 17.5;     //35
        echo format(17.5);    //17,5
        echo format(17.5, "00.00");  //17,50
      Note: This only works in German Windows as "17,5" is no number in 
      English Windows:
        echo format("17,5", "00.00");  //17,50
      Note: Entering a fraction with dot in German Windows will not work 
      as "17.5" is no number in German Windows:
        echo "17.5" * 2;      //0
      Note: Do not enter the German decimal separator unquoted:
        echo format(17,5 , "00.00");  //5 (totally invalid syntax)
      Note: Here format() sees the dot as German thousand separator and 
      simply ignores it when determining the value of the number:
        echo format("17.5");  //175
        echo format("17.5", "00.00");  //175,00
    - Scripting | Math Operations: Removed the change in v13.30.0007. 
      Now you can do any of the following in German Windows:
        $n = "17,5"; echo $n; //17,5
        $n = 17.5; echo $n;   //17,5
      This will NOT work as expected since you must not enter German 
      decimal separator unquoted:
        $n = 17,5; echo $n; //17!
    ! Scripting | Math Operations: There was still a problem with 
      German fractions.     
        echo "17.5"  * 2; // -> 34! WRONG, should be 0
      Fixed.
    * SC formatbytes: Now the above changes for German fractional 
      constants also apply here:
        RIGHT in German Windows:
          echo formatbytes("1,34 MB", "KB");     //1.372,16 KB
          echo formatbytes(1.34 . "MB", "KB");   //1.372,16 KB
        WRONG in German Windows:
          echo formatbytes("1.34 MB", "KB");     //137.216,00 KB !!
          echo formatbytes(1,34 . "MB", "KB");   //1 !!
        RIGHT in any Windows:
          echo formatbytes(1.34 . "MB", "KB");   //1.372,16 KB  
      So, the last version is obviously the preferred one for locale-
      independent scripts.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0043.
    % Main Window: Now the width of checkboxes is auto-adjusted to their 
      caption.
    * 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.
    ! Image Preview and Thumbnails: Extremely proportioned images (e.g.

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.
