Code: Select all

v13.10.0104 - 2013-10-17 20:17
    + Breadcrumbs: Now the context menu offers the toggle "Check for 
      Subfolders". If ticked then the final triangle/slash is only 
      shown when the last shown node has subfolders. If unticked the 
      final triangle/slash is always shown.
      Why is this optional? Well, the check can take a while when a 
      folder is very large.
      Note that in network location the check is always skipped to avoid 
      trouble with unavailable locations.
    + Tweak to alter the minimal font size for the breadcrumbs. To avoid 
      issues with fractions the size is given as "milli size" (9.75 => 
      9750, which is the factory default for this value):
        CrumbMiniFontMilliSize=9750
    ! Configuration | Color Filters | Apply color filters to the Tree: 
      Did not have effect anymore without a restart. 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.

    * Configuration | Styles | Apply list styles globally: Now, if 
      ticked then the styles are applied to tabs of *all modes* (Browse, 
      Find, Drives etc). Before, styles were only applied to tabs of the 
      same mode as the current tab. Which was counter-intuitive.
      Note that only the particular style setting you are toggling in 
      that moment (e.g. Checkbox Selection) is set for all tabs. Other 
      style settings are not affected, so after toggling a global style 
      setting the tabs can still differ in other style settings.
    * Portable File Associations: The dialog now shows context sensitive 
      Help on F1.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Error with an inactive pane find tab on startup, and 
      maybe some other conditions. Fixed.

  +++ Breadcrumbs: Phase 2. Now you can do something with them: go 
      somewhere. 
      Overflow (when path is longer than the available space) is handled 
      just like it's done in Win7 Explorer. But the top node (Computer 
      in XYplorer, not Desktop like in Explorer) is richer than in 
      Explorer.
      And then there is something really nice: The right-click menu 
      features a new option "Show Downward Paths"; you know it already 
      from the old Breadcrumb Menu, but now in the Breadcrumbs bar it 
      really begins to shine.
      This is not the last phase.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Layout broke with "LayoutSP" tweak. Fixed.

  +++ Breadcrumbs: Phase 1. You cannot do much with them yet, but you 
      can show them, and hover them. Toggle them in menu Window.
      Adjustable font size is already supported (Configuration | Fonts | 
      Main Contents). I opted to hard-code a minimal font size of 9.75 
      because everything smaller just looked too small for this thing.
      All colors are hard-coded for now. Of course, this will be 
      configurable later.
    + Tweak GoUpIsBack: If set to 1 then when going up and the 
      destination is identical to the one you would reach if you went 
      back in history, then go back in history.
        GoUpIsBack=1
    % List: Removed possible flicker on location change which would 
      happen on the switch between initial load and scrolling to 
      remembered scroll position.
    ! 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.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.38.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.38.lng is uploaded.

    * Autosize Columns: The Label column will now be autosized to the 
      width of the symbol if the coloring style for Labels is set to 
      Symbol.
    ! Batch Rename: When a pattern had date variables the /i switch only 
      tested against filenames that existed before the rename job, not 
      against filenames that were being created during the job. Fixed.

      Vista and Co have dropped this) was shown for the focused folder 
      even if it was not identical to the currently opened path. Fixed.
    ! Going Home: "Auto-save changes" in a Folder View Setting was 
      ignored when going home with "Configuration | Tabs | Going home 
      also restores the list layout" turned OFF. Fixed #2.

    * Color Filters: In v12.90.0002 - 2013-09-13 15:56 the following 
      exception was introduced:
        - [no selector] is equivalent to "name f:" (name files-only), 
          for example: *.txt
      This was stupid because it breaks old user code. The exception is 
      now withdrawn. So a pattern "a*" now will color files AND folders 
      starting with "a", just like it was before v12.90.0002.
      To color files only, use "name f: a*".
      To color folders only, use "name d: a*".
    ! Color Filters: Name filters stated as whole paths never matched 
      any folder in the Tree. Fixed.
    ! Color Filters: Name filters stated as slashed paths never matched 
      anywhere. Fixed. Now you can pass "D:\Test\"(or "D:\Test") as a 
      filter and it will color this one path.
    ! Custom Copy: With no verification enabled, the Progress Dialog was 
      not moveable smoothly by dragging it around. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0035.
    ! Checkbox Selection: Command ID #415 was not working. Fixed.

    - Removed "No frame on cropped sides" (added in v13.00.0010). Bloat. 
      Now the setting is internally hard-coded to ON.
    * Toolbar: Added two more settings to the right-click menu of the 
      Thumbnails View-related buttons to have a quick way to check and 
      modify their state: "Super-Fast Thumbnails" and "Zoom To Fill". 
      Both affect how thumbnails are created, not (or only indirectly) 
      how they are displayed.

v13.00.0010 - 2013-10-08 11:01
    + Configuration | Thumbnails: Added option "No frame on cropped 
      sides". Tick it to see immediately if and where a thumbnail is 
      cropped, i.e. if and which parts of the original image are missing 
      in the thumbnail.
      Applies only if "Zoom to fill" is enabled, and if the selected
      thumbnails style has a frame (i.e. "Frame" or "Frame with 
      Shadow"). Since this just a drawing style the thumbnails don't 
      have to be recreated for this setting to take effect.      
    ! Zoom to fill: Mouse Down Blow Up did not work on animated GIFS 
      that were zoomed to fill. Fixed.
    ! Hashing: Did not work correctly under some non-Western locales. 
      Fixed.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v13.00.0009 - 2013-10-07 12:36
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Going home also restores the 
      list layout". Tick it to restore the full list layout (view mode, 
      sort order, column layout, list style) when selecting the "Go 
      Home" command. Otherwise going home only changes the location.
      Factory default is OFF. Note that in previous versions this 
      behavior was internally hard-coded to ON. Therefore, to ensure a 
      consistent experience for upgraders, the setting is turned ON when 
      you upgrade to this version.
    + Configuration | Thumbnails: Added option "Zoom to fill". Tick it 
      to fill the available space with the thumbnail. Left/right parts 
      or top/bottom parts may be cropped. Using this option makes better 
      use of the available space at the expense of the cropped areas.
      Notes:
      - This setting affects how thumbnails are created and 
        stored in the cache, so you cannot apply it to already cached 
        thumbnails without recreating the thumbnails from scratch.
      - Images are never stretched to fill the space, just cropped.
      - The cropped image is centered, i.e. the cropping is done equally 
        at both of the cropped sides.
      - The quality costs of "Super-fast thumbnails" will be more 
        visible with "Zoom to fill" so it is recommendable to turn 
        "Super-fast thumbnails" OFF when "Zoom to fill" is ON.
      - Mouse Down Blow Up works fine just as expected.
    + Floating Preview: Added option "Zoom to fill" to the right-click 
      menu. See notes here above.  
    + Tweak to skip notoriously slow drives on a tree refresh, namely 
      mapped network drives, removable drives, CD-ROM drives:
        TreeRefreshSkipSlow=1

v13.00.0008 - 2013-10-05 12:33
    + Configuration | Tree and List | List: Added option "Select next 
      item after delete and move". Tick it to auto-select the next item 
      in the file list after the current item has been deleted or moved 
      away. If the current item is the last item, then of course not the 
      next but the previous item is auto-selected.
      Factory default is OFF (which is also the behavior of Windows 
      Explorer). Note that in previous versions this behavior was 
      internally hard-coded to ON. Therefore, to ensure a consistent 
      experience for upgraders, the setting is turned ON when you 
      upgrade to this version.
      FYI, this setting replaces (and logically inverts) the tweak 
      NoAutoSelectAfterDeleteOrMove which is now obsolete.
    + Checkbox Selection: Now a double-click on a checkbox (which was 
      without function and had the same effect as a single click) is 
      interpreted as two fast single clicks.
    ! Tweak NoAutoSelectAfterDeleteOrMove did also suppress auto-
      selection of the moved files in the target pane. Fixed.
    ! Dropping images from Chrome didn't always work. Fixed.
