v12.90.0016 - 2013-09-20 14:28
!!! Fixed a crash bug that happened on some XP SP3 systems when
dragging files, beginning with v12.90.0004. The bug was related to
a recent Windows update in a crooked way I have not seen before.
Well, it's fixed now.

v12.90.0012 - 2013-09-20 09:38
+ List: New keyboard trick:
Ctrl+Shift+DblClick on empty: Scroll to Top.
Quite useful because AFAIK the only way to do so with the right
hand at the mouse.
FYI, this one works already for a long time (20051130):
Ctrl+DblClick on empty: Move focused item into view.
* Instant Color Filters: Slightly changed some factory defaults and
corrected a misspelling. To update you have to clear all Power
Filters in List Management.
* Tree: Now on Full Row Select you can still trigger right-click on
empty when you hit the area left of the nodes.
! Color Filters: Patterns of paths with wildcards (e.g.
"?:\$Recycle.Bin\*") were not processed correctly and would never
match anything. Fixed.

v12.90.0011 - 2013-09-19 11:06
+ Info Panel | Meta: For images the following meta data have been
added: Author, Title, Subject, Categories.
- Toolbar: Removed the arrow part of the "Enable Color Filters"
button. The functionality is now handled by the "Toggle Instant
Color Filter" button.
Code: Select all
v12.90.0010 - 2013-09-18 14:58
+ Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous: Added option
"Sunday is the first day of the week". If unticked (factory
default and ISO standard) then Monday is the first day of the
week.
+ Toolbar: Added button "Toggle Instant Color Filter". Same arrow
dropdown as "Enable Color Filters" but the button itself toggles
ICF. The right-click menu offers toggling normal CF.

Icons) go to: http://www.designcontest.com/free-icons/
* Instant Color Filters: Slightly changed some factory defaults and
corrected a misspelling. To update you have to clear all Power
Filters in List Management.
* Instant Color Filters: Now an active filter is retained between
sessions. It's just the XY style to retain everything.
- Status Bar: Removed the animation added in v12.90.0007. Too busy
for my taste. Also certain operations were slowed down by it (e.g.
Type Ahead Find) which is not tolerable.

v12.90.0009 - 2013-09-17 21:19
+ Instant Color Filters Menu: Now the top item is called "Toggle
Last Filter". It toggles the last filter selected via this menu,
as well as the last filter applied via SC colorfilter. The last
filter is remembered between sessions (but not auto-applied on
startup).
You can assign a keyboard shortcut to it in Miscellaneous |
Various.

v12.90.0008 - 2013-09-17 14:36
+ SC property enhanced: Added argument "#AspectRatio" to return the
aspect ratio of an image file.
#AspectRatio = aspect ratio of an image file
Examples:
text property("#AspectRatio"); //defaults to current list item
text property("#AspectRatio", "E:\Test\funstuff\goodfellas.jpg");
For your interest:
This enhancement now enables you to color code the aspect ratio of
image files, cool! For example, this color filter will
color all files with a 16:9 aspect ratio:
prop:#AspectRatio: 16:9
Of course, also usable via scripting:
colorfilter("prop:#AspectRatio: 4:3>FFFFFF,FB4F04");
Notes:
- This property uses the shell to determine the image dimensions.
Therefore it is pretty slow. But see next paragraph... :)
- ICO and CUR files are excluded here, because their ratio is
always 1:1 so it's totally boring and just takes time.
% Dramatically increased the speed for retrieving the image
dimensions of GIF, JPEG, PNG, PSD, and PSB files by replacing the
shell function by my own routines. This makes Large Tiles view and
SC property/Color Filter "prop:#AspectRatio" very fast for those
file types.
* Instant Color Filters: Changed the factory defaults.
+ Instant Color Filters: Now they are customizable via List
Management -- at least if you are geek enough to do it. Syntax
rules are explained with SC colorfilter. Of course, the
customizations are retained between sessions.
Tip: To reset to factory defaults simply clear all Instant Color
Filters in List Management.
Note that the coloring displayed in List Management only takes the
left-most filter into account if there are many filters in a row
separated by "||". It's obviously impossible (or would be
incredibly hard) to display individual filter colors in one row.
! HTML preview had stopped working recently. Fixed.
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.36.
> TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.36.lng is uploaded.

v12.90.0007 - 2013-09-16 21:59
+++ Instant Color Filters: The "Enable Color Filters" toolbar button
now got an arrow dropdown featuring a set of predefined color
filters. These ICFs can be applied individually and independently
of the normal Color Filters that are definable via Configuration.
Details see SC ColorFilter.
Future: These filters can be customized in List Management.
* Status Bar: Now many messages have a minimal animation (icon quickly
moving up/down) to attract your attention, respectively to provide
a feedback that can be seen even from the corner of the eye.
Maybe even more importantly you now have a feedback even where two
consecutive messages are identical; before, you would have no
chance to note the second message.

v12.90.0006 - 2013-09-16 14:59
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: ColorFilter
Action: Activates one or more color filters in Tree and List.
Syntax: colorfilter([filters], [separator=||])
filters: Filter, or list of filters separated by separator.
If empty ("") any color filters are deactivated.
If missing the function just returns the currently active filters.
separator: Separator for list of filters.
return: Currently active filters.
Examples:
colorfilter("+lent:>12 //long filenames>BF6000,");
colorfilter("+len:>260 //overlong items>FFFFFF,FB4F04");
colorfilter("+dateM: dw 6-7 //last modified on a weekend>FFFFFF,B83E30");
colorfilter("+ageC d:d //folders created today>EEEEEE,4A97EC||+dir:xy*>FFFF00,FF8000");
colorfilter(""); //deactivate any color filter
text colorfilter(), 800; //return the currently active filters
Remarks:
- The color filter definition uses the full Color Filter syntax
including colors in RRGGBB and leading "+" (the "+" is optional
here, the filters will also be applied without the "+"). You can
see this syntax in List Management | Color Filters, in Editor
Mode (F6).
- If you activate a new filter, the old filter is replaced by it.
- If you activate the same filter again it is deactivated (toggle).
- The filter activated by this command are completely independent
of the Color Filters defined and enabled via Configuration. They
even work if the normal Color Filters are disabled.
- These color filters are not retained across sessions.
Usage:
These ad hoc color filters have a couple of advantages over the
normal color filters:
- You can quickly and individually turn them on/off without going
through Configuration.
- This means you can spotlight the files you are interested now,
just in time. With normal Color Filters your are often bothered
with colors all over that are rather distrracting than helpful.
- They are always processed on top of all other color filters, so
you always see all matches. Whereas in normal color filters it's
common that the first match covers any possible other matches
because usually only one color can be shown at the time for each
item (exception: Details view allows two colors simultaneously
per item under certain conditions).
- Because lists of filters are supported you can use this function
to toggle whole color schemes which would be very cumbersome to
do using the normal color filters.
- It's also easy to share color schemes between users via user
button snippets or included catalogs.
* Color Filters: Now when you completely leave out the color
definitions (Text/Back), black on pink will shown as default color
combination. This is also true for SC colorfilter, e.g.:
colorfilter("+lent:>12");
Code: Select all
v12.90.0005 - 2013-09-15 13:37
+ Visual Filters: Now Visual Filters with selectors also support
scope suffixes.
For example, this filter will show only folders created today:
ageC d: d
And this filter will show only files modified yesterday:
ageM f: 1d
+ Multi Branch View: Now toggling back to normal view from a Multi
Branch View will restore the multi-folder selection, the scroll
position, and the focus position.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0035.
Code: Select all
v12.90.0004 - 2013-09-14 14:46
+ Configuration | Thumbnails: Option "On right mouse down" can now
be modified by two further options:
- Stay up: Tick to have the blow up stay up until clicked again or
any button is pressed.
- Fit image to screen: Tick to show the whole image using the
whole screen. If unticked then the MDBU settings at
Configuration | Preview | Mouse down blow up are used.
* Configuration | Tags: Reorganized some buttons to gain space.
! Preview tab: Resizing the preview of a LNK to an animated GIF did
not work. Fixed.
! Thumbnails: Dimensions of original image were not displayed or
LNKs to image files. Fixed.
! Thumbnails: Dimensions of original image were not calculated
correctly for LNKs to image files. Hence the blow up was wrongly
sized. Fixed.
! Droppable User Buttons (DUB): Could not drop more than one file at
a time onto a button pointing to an executable. Fixed.
! Droppable User Buttons (DUB): Did not work anymore when pointing
to a ProgID, e.g. "ACDSee32" or "Notepad". Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.90.0003 - 2013-09-13 21:19
% Configuration | Thumbnails | Super-fast thumbnails: The setting
did not have any effect for RAW image formats (e.g. CRW, DNG,
NEF). Now it does! Creating thumbnails for those files should be
much faster now.
! Thumbnails: The Refresh command "Refresh Selected Thumbnails
(Faster)" found in the right-click menu of the view related
toolbar buttons did not work anymore as expected since the
introduction of the Tiles views. Instead its results were
identical to those of the command "Refresh Selected Thumbnails
(Better)". Fixed.
