XYplorer Beta Club
Code: Select all
v12.50.0005 - 2013-06-19 14:21
+ Dual Locations: Experimentally added a new location format called
"Dual Locations". Going to a DLOC means that both panes are set to a
new location, and dual pane mode is activated (if not already
active). A DLOC has its own icon (the toolbar icon for vertical
Dual Panes). The format optionally takes a couple of list
configuration parameters.
General Format:
Just paths:
DUAL:Path1||Path2
With prefixed pane to be activated:
DUAL:2.Path1||Path2
With settings:
DUAL:2.Path1>>Settings1||Path2>>Settings2
Examples:
Just paths:
DUAL:C:\||D:\
Also Quick Searches and Visual Filters work:
DUAL:C:\?*.sys /f||D:\|a
Also possible without paths (= applied to current paths):
DUAL:?a* /f|||*.txt
With prefixed pane to be activated:
DUAL:2.C:\||D:\
With view mode (Details = 0 ... Thumbs #3 = 6, Large Icons = 7):
DUAL:1.C:\>>3||D:\>>2
With view mode, sort order, and list style (well, sort order and
list style are cryptical techno values, so probably only useful
for internal use):
DUAL:1.C:\>>3,-65536,1335||D:\>>2,-32766,1335
Only the first pane:
DUAL:E:\||
Only the second pane:
DUAL:||E:\
Notes:
- DLOCs can be used anywhere just like normal locations.
Exception: You cannot use them recursively (pack two DLOCs in
a meta-DLOC). Parsing would fail. It would be a nonsense idea
anyway.
- Of course, you can store such a DLOC as Favorite and give it a
caption:, e.g.:
"First Drives" DUAL:C:\||D:\
- This is just the proof of concept. If it turns out to be good
(I have doubts), UI comfort can be wrapped around it.
* List: Experimentally made "Autosize Columns" the factory defaults
and added 2 pixels left and 2 pixels right padding to each column.
More service and more air.
* Type Stats and Filter: Patterns were added to the Visual Filter
MRU list. No good. Stopped this.
Also Power Filter were added to the Visual Filter MRU list, not
when turning them on but when turning them OFF. Again, I stopped
this.
* Tree: The red crossed circle overlay is not shown anymore on
unavailable drives. It was inconsistently applied and did not play
well together with similar overlays coming from the shell.
+ Tweak to widen the toolbar separator. It's a factor, valid values
are from 2 to 10, e.g.:
ToolbarSepFac=3
! Help | List All Commands: Error when closing by X-close (since
20130515). Fixed.
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.
