XYplorer Beta Club
v12.80.0000 - 2013-08-07 12:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
+++ Tiles Views. You now have two new views, Small Tiles and Large
Tiles. Both come with high quality thumbnails, support for Mouse
Down Blow Up, and essential metadata. The Large Tiles view -
attention photographers! - displays image dimensions and aspect
ratio.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0017 - 2013-08-07 09:27
+ Added tweak to show the total bytes of the current folder in the
first section of the Status Bar:
StatusBar1TotalBytes=1
Also works in Search Results lists.
* Updated the help file.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all
v12.70.0016 - 2013-08-06 12:11
* Updated the help file.
! New Files / New Folders dialogues: Both used the recent New
Folders as last entered items. Fixed. Now each has its own last
entered items store.
* New Files dialogue: Now it got its own icon.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0015 - 2013-08-05 10:45
+ Large Tiles view: Now the aspect ratio of images (3:2, 16:9, 3:4,
etc.) is shown.
- Thumbs view and Tiles view: Color Filters were not displayed
anymore for selected items since v12.70.0009. Now they are back
for consistency between views. Color Filters without a defined
backcolor receive the list backcolor for the text area to make the
text readable within the selection box.
! Thumbs view and Tiles view: Text color was displayed wrong on
selected items with a matching color filter and a label under
certain conditions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0014 - 2013-08-03 10:31
+ Large Tiles view: Added extra Info for files with version info:
File version.
+ Added tweak to refresh (on Refresh, F5) only the list if the list
is focused:
RefreshListOnly=1
* List: 0-byte files were shown simply as '0' under Size (as opposed
to 0 KB) for some years. Now the unit is shown again.
! Mouse Down Blow Up: Sometimes stopped being triggered under
certain conditions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0013 - 2013-08-02 19:52
+++ List: Added "Large Tiles" view. Icons (64x64), 4 info lines:
Name, Type, Size + Modified Date, Extra Info (depending on file
type, see below). Hard column width 270 pixels.
Extra Info:
- Images: Dimensions
- Media: Length
Note that the Extra Info is retrieved from the shell (Extended
Properties, the same data that you see in the File Info Tips). In
some cases it is a little surprising, e.g. *.ICO file image
dimensions under XP.
Note also that retrieving these extended data from the shell is
relatively slow compared to retrieving the basic file data.
* Renamed the "Tiles" view to "Small Tiles".
* Renamed "Show thumbnails in tiles view" to "Show thumbnails in
tiles views".
* Removed some unsuccessful experiments concerning the "New Folder"
command in UAC protected locations.
! Thumbs view and Tiles view: Icons of no-thumb files were not drawn
under certain conditions. Fixed.
! Tiles view: On some systems the thumbnails of rather large images
were not shown. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0012 - 2013-08-02 10:36
+++ Tiles view: Now you can show mini thumbnails (48x48) with the
Tiles view. To enable it tick Configuration | Thumbnails | Show
thumbnails in tiles view.
Notes:
- High Quality Image Resampling is supported, so the thumbs look
much better than in Vista and later (untick Configuration |
Thumbnails | Super-fast thumbnails).
- Mouse Down Blow Up is supported.
- Thumbnails can be cached etc., everything like with the other
thumbnails views, apart from these:
- "Show file icon on thumbnail" is ignored (would look bad).
- "Show dimensions of original image on thumbnail" is ignored
(would look bad).
Code: Select all
v12.70.0011 - 2013-08-01 18:33
* Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Type Ahead Find | Match
anywhere: Turned the checkbox into a dropdown with 4 options (that
were already available as tweaks for some days):
- Match at beginning
- Match anywhere
- Prefer matches at beginning
- Prefer matches at beginning (but only for single-characters)
* Configuration | File Info Tips | Show tips for clipped tree and
list items: These tips now respect the 'Initial delay' setting.
! Painting glitch when refreshing a thumbnails view. Fixed.
! The "About XYplorer" dialog layout could still break with certain
custom font size settings. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0010 - 2013-07-31 10:44
* Tiles view: Now the third line has not only Size but also the
Modified Date.
% 6KN: Before, you'd get hangs when editing an UNC path in an edit
box with auto-complete, and, while typing along, the path would
temporarily point to non-existing servers or shares. Now, this
should not hang anymore.
Method: The auto-complete list is only generated after a 750 msec
period without any typing in the Address Bar.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0009 - 2013-07-30 20:27
* Thumbs view and Tiles view: Now Color Filters are not displayed
anymore for selected items. It looked ugly.
! Did not pop elevate prompt when attempting to rename a file in
UAC-protected locations under Vista or later when not run as
administrator. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0008 - 2013-07-30 14:11
* Thumbs view and Tiles view: Now the selection rect fills the whole
grid cell.
* Tiles view: Countless tiny improvements.
* MLS: Internally updated to version 8.35.
> TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.35.lng is uploaded.

v12.70.0006 - 2013-07-29 20:45
+++ List: Added Tiles view. Extra large icons (48x48), 4 info lines:
Name, Type, Size, Modified Date. Hard column width 250 pixels.
This is the base. The future will bring enhancements.
* Tweak IconFile (to load custom app icon from a stand-alone icon
file) now supports XY Variables (e.g. <xyicons>) and Environment
Variables.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0005 - 2013-07-28 14:54
+ Type Ahead Find: The max interval to interpret two consecutive
keystrokes as belonging to one string defaults to 750 msec. Now
you can alter this value via the tweak() function (or by tweaking
the INI directly):
tweak("TAFTimeout", 1500); // set it to 1500 msec
echo tweak("TAFTimeout"); // get current value
Valid values are between 250 and 5000.
+ Catalog: Now when you drop *files* (as opposed to folders) to a
Category, the default "Action on click" is "Open Item". Before it
was "Go to Location".
! Tab Bar: The second click of a dbl-click on the "Plus" (New Tab)
button was processed *as* a dbl-click on whatever was under the
mouse now, which it should not. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0004 - 2013-07-26 09:50
* Highlight matches: As a tribute to Mick Jagger this setting is now
turned on by factory default.
! The experimental TAFMatchAnywhere=3 tweak (v12.70.0003) crashed
the app when opening config. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.70.0003 - 2013-07-25 20:12
> Here are some tweaks to play with:
TAFMatchAnywhere=0 Match at beginning
TAFMatchAnywhere=1 Match anywhere
TAFMatchAnywhere=2 Match at beginning, if no match then match anywhere
TAFMatchAnywhere=3 If Len(Pattern) = 1 Then match like 2 Else match like 1
FYI, the last one matches my personal needs best.
