XYplorer Beta Club
v12.60.0003 - 2013-07-12 10:25
! MLS: Fixed some display issues with Vietnamese.
+ MLS: Vietnamese is now fully supported.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.Code: Select all
v12.60.0002 - 2013-07-11 20:31
+ SC report enhanced: Now "Extended Properties" (the complete set of
available metadata of file) are fully supported using the new
field {prop:[property]}. Just like elsewhere in the app "prop:"
supports numeric as well as literal property identifiers.
For example, the following line double-reports the image
dimensions for image files in the current list, once referenced
numerically ("#26") (NOTE: this number works in XP only!), once
literally ("dimensions"):
text report("{name} ({prop:#26}) ({prop:dimensions})<crlf>");
Note that MS made a total mess here so that each Windows version
has a completely reshuffled set of numbers and keywords. But there
is help: The line numbers in "Configuration | File Info Tips |
Show custom file info tips" give you the actual values of all
available extended properties in your current Windows version.
For all I know, literal property identifiers are not documented at
all by MS, so you can only guess, trial, and error.
Remark: This enhancement means nothing less than ultimate power to
the report command. A reporter's wet dream come true.

v12.60.0001 - 2013-07-10 14:24
+ Custom Context Menu | Zip: Added command "Add to {parent}.zip".
This is actually the default with all major archivers (WinZip,
WinRAR, 7zip), at least when more than one file is selected for
archiving. Now you have both auto-named targets offered side by
side.
! Dropping images from Chrome didn't always work. Fixed.
! File Info Tips: Font properties Bold and Italic were not yet
mirrored in the tooltips. Fixed.
! File Info Tips: The tips for clipped list items did not yet mirror
the list font. Fixed.

v12.60.0000 - 2013-07-08 12:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
+++ Zip Support. Now XYplorer can add to and extract from Zip
archives. Zip related commands have been added all over the place,
including interesting ones like "Drop into Zip", "Paste Into Zip",
"Paste Extracted", "Paste Zipped", and "Zip Here".
+++ Zip View. A non-modal Zip preview allowing for fast and easy
consecutive browsing of Zip archives.
+++ Quick File View. Now the window can be non-modal so you can leave
it open side by side with the main window for smooth one-click
previews of any listed file.
+++ Adjustable Font Size. Now you can control the font size of all
interface elements (buttons, checkboxes, labels etc).
+++ Accessible Tooltips. Now the File Info Tips and other tooltips are
displayed in the same font and font size as their parent controls,
i.e. you can have them as big or as small, and ultimately as
readable, as the rest of the text.
+++ Display Hash Values. Now the most common hash values for the
current file (CRC-32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512) can be
displayed.
+++ Japanese. Added support for Japanese.

v12.50.0032 - 2013-07-07 19:15
! Vista and later: UTF-8 (BOM) decoding could have an unwanted extra
character at position one due to a broken Windows API. Worked
around.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0034.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0031 - 2013-07-07 13:48
+ Menu File | Metadata: Now the window shares its size and position
with the Quick File View, and it can be non-modal. If non-modal
you can switch (using menu, KS, or TB) between Metadata View and
Quick File View while the non-modal window is open!
It also shares the setting with QFV. Tick this to have the window
non-modal: Configuration | Preview | Quick file view: | Modeless
dialog (In a future version this setting might be removed and
internally hardcoded to true.)
* Tweak to enable this: When you use the keyboard to open Floating
Preview, Quick File View, Metadata View, or Zip View, the focus
will stay in the main form so you can seamlessly continue working
with the keyboard in the main form.
OpenViewsUnfocused=1
NB: Technically the focus will not stay but immediately auto-move
back to the main form after the child window is opened.
* Kind of complementing the above tweak pressing ESC in the main
form will now close any of the above mentioned Views.
+ Menu File | File Special | Display Hash Values: Added CRC-32.
! List | Item Context Menu | Junction | Delete Junction: Did not
work on special paths (Desktop, User, etc.). Fixed.
! SC zip_extract: When called on a non-zip file it would create a
target folder before noting that there is nothing it can extract.
Fixed. No folder is created now.

v12.50.0028 - 2013-07-05 13:58
+ Font Sizing: Now you can control the size of the "Buttons and
Labels" font using Ctrl+Wheel over the Status Bar. This is not
only very practical but also gives you some intermediate
fractional sizes that the standard font dialog does not offer.
* MLS: Adjusted a couple of UI elements for Japanese in wider fonts.
! SC report: Since milliseconds support was added the command
returned empty values for {Created}, {Modified}, {Accessed}.
Fixed.
* Updated the help file.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0027 - 2013-07-04 17:48
* Configuration | Fonts: Now the Configuration dialog adjusts on the
fly to new font settings (Buttons and Labels, and Dialogs) to give
an immediate preview.
! MLS: Japanese still did not load correctly when using "Download
Language File..." or "Select Language...". Fixed.
! You could crash the app by entering the invalid font size 0
(zero). Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0026 - 2013-07-03 16:31
+ MLS: Added number rule <n8:one;2-4;other> for Czech and Slovak.
Test script:
::lang_testnum "<#> <n8:one;2-4;other>", 50, 1;
! Add to Zip: Handled folders with dots in the name as if they had
an extension. Fixed.
! Display glitch with larger fonts in checkbox captions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0025 - 2013-07-03 11:00
* Updated the help file.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0024 - 2013-07-02 19:41
* Tweaks ListDetailsColumnsSpacing and
ListDetailsColumnsSpacingLeft: Now they are not taken to be hard
pixels but a factor n that will be realized relative to the font
width in the list (n * width(" ") / 3). In other words: Now, when
the font gets bigger, the padding gets bigger as well, so the
proportions stay in perfect harmoxy, uh harmony.
! Floating Preview and Quick File View: Dialog position was not
correctly retained when the taskbar was placed at the left or at
the top of the screen. Fix #2.
Note: Now you can move the taskbar while XY is running and the
placement will still be alright.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0023 - 2013-07-02 10:15
* SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can show generic icons.
Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator=|], [style=1], _
[cancel], [width=600], [height=400], [windowcaption])
style: 8 = show generic icons (just from extension, files need not exist)
For example, offer to extract items from the currently selected zip file:
zip_extract (, "", inputselect("Check Items to extract to current folder", _
replace(zip_list(, "|", 0), "<tab>", ""), "|", 11,,,, "<curitem>"), "|");
! Message Box: After an unfortunate sequence of actions a state could
be reached where the three-button message box would not react
anymore when pressing the first button ("Yes"). Fixed.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0021 - 2013-07-01 20:40
+ SC zip_extract enhanced. Now you can extract particular items from
a Zip.
Action: Extract items from a Zip archive.
Syntax: zip_extract(zipfile, path, [items], [separator="|"])
zipfile: Path/name of Zip archive.
Can be relative to current path.
If empty the current file is used.
path: Target path.
If the path does not exist it is silently created.
If missing the path is auto-named from the zipfile
(suffixed on collision) and created below the zipfile.
If empty ("") the current path is used (= Extract to
Here).
itemlist: List of items to extract.
Paths are to be given relative to the Zip.
If empty all items are extracted.
separator: Separator of items in itemlist.
return: Target path.
Notes:
- XP behaves differently from Vista and followers when items in
subfolders are copied:
- XP: Source subfolders are auto-created in the target folder
before items are copied (like XY's "Rich Copy").
- Vista: Items are all copied flat to the target path (with
possible collisions).
Examples:
- Extract "XYplorer.exe" from "E:\Test\ZipTest\xyplorer_12.50_beta_noinstall.zip" to "D:\XY\":
text zip_extract("E:\Test\ZipTest\xyplorer_12.50_beta_noinstall.zip", "D:\XY\", "XYplorer.exe");
- Extract Test\a\b.png from deep.zip in the current path. XP: target
folder "Test\a\" will be created if necessary:
text zip_extract("deep.zip", "", "Test\a\b.png");
- Extract two same-named files from one archive. No problem under
XP; under Vista you get a collision prompt:
text zip_extract("deep.zip", "", "test\a\a.png|test\b\a.png");
* Configuration | Fonts | Buttons and Labels: Now the size of this
font is configurable. Use with care since larger sizes will surely
mess up the layout.
The tweak InterfaceFontMilliSize is hereby raised to UI.
NOTE: The section "Configuration | Fonts | Dialogs" will probably
be removed in the next version and subsumed under "Configuration |
Fonts | Buttons and Labels".
* Factory default font under XP is now Verdana for all interface
elements apart from the main contents. Verdana is wider than the
previous Tahoma thus more suitable in the era of big screens.
Exception: For screens of 1024x768 or smaller Tahoma is kept as
default font.
Tahoma stays default font for the main contents (Tree, List etc.)
* Factory default font under Vista & Co is now Segoe UI for all
interface elements and for the main contents.
* Tooltips in the main window now follow the font settings, i.e. you
can have them as big or as small as the rest of the text.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0020 - 2013-06-30 15:33
+ Now you can tweak the general interface font size. The size is
stored as millisize (to avoid issues with fractions and locales),
so to get a font size of 9.75 you enter 9750:
InterfaceFontMilliSize=9750
Use with care since larger size will surely mess up the layout.
Reset to 0 to return to the default value:
InterfaceFontMilliSize=0
! Zip View: Fixed a couple of Vista/Win7 glitches. Now all
extensions are shown and the path is shown relative to the Zip,
not absolute as before.
Code: Select all
v12.50.0019 - 2013-06-29 21:44
! MLS: Tried to fix an issue with Japanese, #3.
! Floating Preview: Toggle Full Screen glitch with window caption
fixed.
