v11.60.0001 - 2012-09-11 14:04
    + Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now you can copy the original 
      image (bitmap) and the preview image (bitmap) to the clipboard 
      right from the preview by pressing C or Ctrl+C or using the right-
      click menu.
      Note that when the image is rotated "Copy Original" will copy the 
      rotated bitmap. This has technical reasons in the way how the 
      Preview is done.
    + Configuration | Tags: Added option "On sorting keep tagged items 
      on top". If ticked then the tagged files are kept on top and the 
      empty items are sorted to the bottom. 
      Pretty useful when most of your items are not tagged so that your 
      tagged items would vanish below the view port instead of showing 
      up when sorting by tags. Note that "tag columns" include Label, 
      Tags, and Comment.
    - Configuration | Tags: Removed "Sort tag columns descending by 
      default". Obsolete since "On sorting keep tagged items on top".
    * Configuration | Colors & Styles | Grid style: Grouping now is 
      consistently based on the real data as opposed to the displayed 
      data. This concerns date columns and the Size column, i.e. columns 
      where the user can customize the format.
      This change now affects only the date columns:
      Before, the date columns were grouped based on the displayed data, 
      so e.g. when you turned off the Time part in Date Column Format 
      then you could get more groups than before. This is stopped now. 
      Grouping is now independent of the display format.
    + Tweak to group date and size columns by displayed data instead of 
      real data:
        GridGroupByDisplay=1
      If ON then e.g. two files with 3,606 and 4,044 bytes would both be 
      grouped within "4 KB" if Size column format is "KB (Rounded Up)".
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch when renaming the current folder 
      in tree. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v11.60.0000 - 2012-09-10 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Duplicate File Finder. Finds duplicate files by name, date, size 
      and/or content in any location. Spotting duplicates, especially 
      those by content, can be useful for freeing up storage space.
  +++ Tree Path Tracing. Always know your place in the folder tree, 
      without even consciously looking at the tree. You might get used 
      to it sooner than you think...
  +++ PSD Previews. More good news for photographers: Enhanced support 
      for PSD Preview, Thumbnails, and Mouse Down Blow Up.
  +++ Rotate. Now you can rotate the Floating and Full Screen Preview. 
      Works for all previewed file types, even for RAW images, PSD, TGA, 
      PDF, and video thumbs.

v11.50.0022 - 2012-09-09 18:12
    + Preview: Added PSB (Photoshop Large Document Format) to the 
      previewed and thumbnailed formats. You need a CODEC to make it 
      work.
      Remember that there is a tweak "MaxArea" to limit the maximum area 
      of images that shall be thumbnailed. The value is expected in 
      square pixels, so to limit thumbnailing to originals of at most 
      5,000 x 5,000 pixels you would set:
        [Thumbs]
        MaxArea=25000000
    + Configuration | Tags: Added "Sort tag columns descending by 
      default". Does what it says. And pretty useful when most of your 
      items are not tagged so that your tagged items would vanish below 
      the view port instead of showing up when sorting by tags.
      Note that "tag columns" include Label, Tags, and Comment.
    + Tweak to also show files (not only folders) in the Address Bar 
      auto-complete:
        AutoCompletePathABarFiles=1

    ! Preview of PSD images: Stupid message "No embedded thumbnail 
      found.". Fixed (= removed).
    ! PSD Thumbnails: The Mouse Down Blow Up was not in the correct 
      size, and the thumbnails themselves were wrongly sized when the 
      original were smaller than the desired thumbnail size. Both fixed.
      Note that you need some CODEC for good PSD thumbnails.

v11.50.0020 - 2012-09-07 15:31
    + Toolbar: Added button "Tree Path Tracing". Toggles that tree 
      style. The right-click menu offers all tree styles.
    + Drag and Drop: Added the following types to the files you can drop 
      on: JSE, VBE, VBS, WSF, WSH.
    * Preview and thumbnails of PSD images: Before, XY attempted to 
      natively extract any embedded thumbnails in PSD files. Now, by 
      default, this is not done anymore but any installed CODECS are 
      used instead.
      There is a new tweak to go back to the old behavior:
        PreviewPSDEmbeddedThumb=1
    * Preview of PSD images: The original size of PSD files is now 
      correctly determined even in XP and earlier.
    ! Configuration | Colors & Styles | Selected List Items: The color 
      (which is used only in a non-focused list) was not updated for 
      selected but non-focused list items unless you restarted the app. 
      Fixed.

v11.50.0015 - 2012-09-06 13:48
    * Renamed Tree style "Highlight Path" to "Tree Path Tracing". And 
      now you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
    * Renamed tweak "SnakeWidth" to "TPTWidth".
    * Renamed "Slim snake" to "Wide".
    + Configuration | Colors & Styles: Added a way to configure the 
      color used for Tree Path Tracing independently of Current Tree 
      Folder color.
      Remember that perfect black (#000000) in these colors is 
      interpreted as "back to factory default".
    ! Highlight Path: Drawing glitches. Fixed.
    ! Locked Mini Tree: Would add the current path when switching to 
      Mini Tree from a Maxi Tree. Fixed.
    ! Step Mode Dialog: Wrong position. Fixed.

v11.50.0014 - 2012-09-05 17:50
    + Configuration | Colors & Styles: Added option "Slim snake". Tick 
      it to draw the Highlight Path snake's body only 3 pixels wide.
    + Added a tweak to adjust the width of the fat Highlight Path snake. 
      Example to get a slimmer snake:
        SnakeWidth=5
      Back to default (fat snake):
        SnakeWidth=0
      If "Slim snake" is ticked the tweak has no effect.
    * Highlight Path: Now the snake nodes are always perfect 17x17 
      squares (if possible) independent of the tree line height. Looks 
      better.
    * Configuration | Colors & Styles: Renamed "Mirror tree box color in 
      file list" to "Mirror tree box color in list". Needed the space.

    * Tree: Now when styles "Full Row Select" and "Highlight Path" are 
      both set, the selection rectangle of the current node row is only 
      painted to the right of the node in order to avoid overlap with 
      the highlighted path. The functionality of "Full Row Select" is 
      unchanged.
    ! Highlight Path: Drawing glitches on style "Narrow Tree". Fixed.

v11.50.0010 - 2012-09-03 21:30
    + Menu Tools | Customize Tree: Added the revolutionary new style 
      "Highlight Path". Turn it ON to highlight the current path in the 
      Tree, i.e. each component of the current path. The factory default 
      is OFF.
      To make things easier and keep some degree of visual consistency, 
      the color used for the highlighting is the one defined in 
      Configuration | Colors & Styles | Current Tree Folder.
      Yes, it's graphically pretty strong, but at least you won't have 
      any problems anymore to immediately spot your tree position :). In 
      a long tree the absence or presence of the narrow line leading up 
      to the "Computer" tree root will instantly tell you whether to 
      scroll up or down to find your place. You might get used to it 
      sooner than you think...
    ! Info Panel | Raw View | Right-click Menu: Copy Selection did not 
      work with Extract Text. Fixed.

v11.50.0009 - 2012-09-03 14:00
    + Menu File | File Special: Added command "Set Created Date to 
      Exif". Sets the Created date of each selected image file (JPEG, 
      TIFF) to its Exif date.
      Note: This command was previously featured under CKS | 
      Miscellaneous | Timestamp. The command ID remains the same, of 
      course: #1074.
    + Duplicate File Finder: The Status Bar now also shows the number of 
      found dupe groups.
    + Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now you can delete previewed 
      files right from the preview by pressing DEL or Shift+DEL.
    ! SC gettoken didn't work correctly with negative indices anymore 
      (since v11.50.0008). Fixed.

v11.50.0008 - 2012-09-02 16:35
    + Duplicate File Finder: Added two more match criteria to choose 
      from: Date and Size. More options for you, and kind of de facto 
      standard for Duplicate File Finders it seems.
      - Date: The modified date and time of the file.
      - Size: The exact size of the file. Note that Size is logically 
              implied when Content is checked.
      Dupes column hightlighting depends on Match criteria:
            If by Content:  white-on-green
        ElseIf by Size:     white-on-brown
        ElseIf by Date:     white-on-purple
        ElseIf by Name:     white-on-blue
      Note that in real-world, dupes by Name+Date+Size will often 
      coincide with dupes by Content, but matching Name+Date+Size is 
      MUCH faster than matching Content.
    * Duplicate File Finder: From now on ONLY files are returned. 
      Before, the Name-only check would also return folders. 
    + SC timestamp enhanced: Now when you pass a date variable in single 
      quotes (so that it is not evaluated before it is passed to the 
      timestamp function) the variable is evaluated per-file.
      Examples:
      - Set modified and created date of all selected files to the EXIF 
        date of the current file:
        timestamp mc, "<dateexif>";
      - Set modified and created date of all selected files to the EXIF 
        date of each of those files:
        timestamp mc, '<dateexif>';
      Usage:
      - Here is a useful portable file association to have EXIF time 
        stamping in the OpenWith menu for all selected JPG files:
        |"Timestamp MC with EXIF-Date" *.jpg>::timestamp mc, '<dateexif>'
    + SC gettoken enhanced: Now you can return the beginning or end of 
      the input string depending on a new parameter "flags":
      Syntax: gettoken(string, [index=1], [separator=" "], [format], [flags])
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Return from start
          2 = Return till end
      Examples:
        text gettoken("a,b,c", 2, ",");       // b
        text gettoken("a,b,c", 2, ",", , 1);  // a,b
        text gettoken("a,b,c", 2, ",", , 2);  // b,c

v11.50.0007 - 2012-08-31 19:01
    ! On a multi monitor setup various modal dialogs could be positioned 
      outside the visual screen (causing an apparent program hang) when 
      XY was started with a previously active monitor now off. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0084.
    > Dupes: FYI, Byte-to-byte is not necessarily the slowest but 
      depending on the input sometimes even the fastest of all 
      comparison methods. It genetrally seems to like smaller files. 
      And, at least on my system, it appears to be always faster then 
      SHA-512 (however, see below.)
    ! Dupes: When looking for dupes-by-content, a logical bug (IOW bad 
      thinking of the dev) could lead to overlooked dupes when the files 
      had the same size but different names and contents. Fixed.
      If you have many such situations (same size, different content and 
      different name), a comparison based on hashing (e.g. SHA-1) will 
      be faster than byte-to-byte.
    - Removed "Dangerous files" type. Dumb idea.

    + Configuration | Colors & Styles | Grid style: Added another style:
        - Alternate Groups (Smart Names): Every 2nd group is 
          highlighted. Extra-smartness for Names.
    + Floating and Full Screen Preview: Before, the rotate commands only 
      worked for JPG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. Now they work for all previewed 
      file types, even for RAW images, TGA, PDF, and video thumbs.
    + Info Panel | Find Files | Type Filter: Added a new type:
      - Dangerous files: File types that are potentially harmful. Of 
        course, this list cannot be exhaustive.
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Type Filter: Reduced type "Executable 
      files" to just these: .bat.cmd.com.exe.scr.
