Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v11.60.0203 - 2012-09-27 11:37
    * Floating Preview: Experimentally changed the zoom steps to a 
      logarithmic scale with a factor of square root 2 between 
      consecutive steps, ranging from 0.78% to 6400%. Feels more 
      natural.
    + Floating Preview: Zoom In/Out now also works with the regular plus 
      and minus keys (those not on numpad).
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: 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 | Backup your Application Data Folder)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    + Floating Preview: Now you can freely zoom in and out using the 
      keys Numpad Add and Numpad Subtract. There is an array of fixed 
      zoom values ranging from 1% up to 5000%.
      The zooming is auto-reset when the next image is previewed.
    * Floating Preview: On zoom 400% and higher the tweak
      LowQualityImageResamplingOnZoom is ignored and "Low Quality" is 
      always applied, i.e. you will see the pixels. This is because 
      "High Quality" just looks bad with such high zoom factors.
    ! Floating Preview: Browsing images in a folder was impossible and 
      the message "No more selected" was wrongly displayed under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.
    > Change Log Note: From now "Floating Preview" stands for "Floating 
      and Full Screen Preview" unless otherwise noted.

v11.60.0201 - 2012-09-25 19:57
    + Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now Mouse Down Blow Up (MDBU) is 
      optional. You can toggle it in Configuration | Preview and in the 
      right-click menu of the Preview.
      Remarks:
      - If MDBU is OFF you can pan a cropped image using the Left Mouse 
        Button (additionally to CTRL+Left Mouse Button and Right Mouse 
        Button).
      - If Mouse Down Blow Up is ON you still can pan a cropped image
        using the Right Mouse Button (or using CTRL+Left Mouse Button).
      - If MDBU is OFF and the image is NOT cropped you can still get 
        MDBU because now it does not interfere with left mouse panning.
    + Configuration | Preview | Floating and Full Screen Preview: Added 
      option "Mouse Down Blow Up". Untick to enable left mouse panning 
      of cropped images. Factory default is OFF.
      See also remarks above.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: When left-mouse panning is 
      active and possible you now get the traditional "hand" cursor.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now "Fit All" toggles with 
      "Original Size" .
    ! Custom Copy: Rare error on a backgrounded Custom Copy. Fix #2.

Code: Select all

v11.60.0102 - 2012-09-20 14:50
    + Undo: Finally (after many years of fruitless attempts) I succeeded 
      in retrieving the new filename generated by Windows when the shell 
      copy renames a file on collision! This means that these copies now 
      can be undone.
      Supported under Windows NT 4.0 and later (IOW not under 9x or ME).    
    ! Undo: In Vista and later, the above improvement fixes a bug where 
      moves of items that were internally renamed on collision were not 
      correctly undone.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0085.
    + Copy Containing Folder(s): The right-click menu of items in Search 
      Results and Branch View got the interesting new command "Copy 
      Containing Folder(s)". It copies the containing folders of all 
      selected items to the clipboard.
      Usage:
        Now you can use Find Files to identify folders by their 
        contents, and then copy those folders for further processing.
        A very useful enhancement.
      Notes:
      - The containing folders are the direct parent folders.
      - If the containing folder is a drive it will NOT be copied.
      - If more than one item is selected the list of containing folders 
        is silently cleared from doublettes and folders contained in 
        other folders in the list.
        So it will not be unusual that less folders are copied than 
        items are selected.
    + Configuration | Extended: Added "Select parent of moved folder". 
      If ticked then the focus jumps to the parent of the moved folder 
      when the moved folder was the focused folder. If unticked the 
      focus stays with the moved folder.
      Factory default is ON since this is the default in Win7 Explorer.
    * Configuration | General: Moved two settings from the Tree section 
      to Configuration | Extended:
      - Show localized folder names
      - Select parent of deleted folder
      Reason: Lack of space.
    * Tree and List: Type Ahead Find now shows a status bar message on a 
      non-match.
    + Variable <get [Command ID] [ReturnOnTrue = 1] [ReturnOnFalse = 0]> 
      now also supports the following Command IDs:
        #178 = File | Floating Preview
      Example:
        echo get("#178", "Floating Preview ON", "Floating Preview OFF");

    * SC urlencode: Now it also encodes the percent character (% = %25). 
      Before, it left it untouched.
    ! Configuration | Advanced | Address Bar relative to application 
      path: The unticked option (Address Bar relative to current path) 
      did not work anymore since 20120522. Fixed.
    ! Outlook Drop: Particularly malformed messages could generate an 
      error message. Fixed.

      LNKs are resolved and then previewed resp. thumbnailed where 
      applicable. Standard behavior in Explorer.
    ! Find Files tab: Since 20120901 the input focus could get lost 
      under certain conditions. Fixed.

v11.60.0004 - 2012-09-14 11:32
    + Scripting: Now, foreach loops can have a 5th argument "MsgOnEmpty" 
      where you can state an error message for the case that the 2nd 
      argument is empty. If MsgOnEmpty is given (even as empty string 
      "") the loop will not be executed at all. 
      New syntax:
        foreach($variable, ListOfTokens, [separator=|], [flags], [MsgOnEmpty]) {
      Examples:
        // shows "No files selected!" if no files are selected, and skips the loop
        foreach($item, <get selecteditemspathnames>, <crlf>, , "No files selected!") {
         echo $item;
        }
        // shows nothing if no files are selected, and skips the loop
        foreach($item, <get selecteditemspathnames>, <crlf>, , "") {
         echo $item;
        }
    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can state a single file (full 
      path), for example an executable to launch, in the On Click field, 
      and the button will run/open that file. Before, this was only 
      allowed in the Name field.
      This is to support the previously wrong but understandable 
      intuition of many users, IOW it's more user-friendly now.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch when moving the current folder 
      in tree. Fixed.

v11.60.0003 - 2012-09-13 10:22
    + SC tag enhanced. Now you can set a Label by name (not only by ID).
      Syntax: tag [value], [itemlist], [type=0], [tagsmode=0]
         value    = Tag value, which (depending on type) can be
                    label name or ID, tag(s), or comment.
                    If missing or 0: remove any tag of that type.
      Notes:
      - The algorithm smartly detects whether a numerical ID or a name 
        is passed as argument. Of course, if you name your labels as 
        numbers this smartness will fail.
      - The label name must exist (case-sensitive match) among the 
        current labels, else no label is set (any existing labels are 
        retained in that case) and you get an error message.
      Examples:
        tag 1; //set selected items to label #1
        tag "Green"; //set selected items to label "Green"
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name:   Exit
      Action: Exit XYplorer, optionally with restart.
      Syntax: exit [mode]
        mode: 
          [empty] = exit (= #192)
                    Saving depends on user setting in  Configuration | 
                    Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit.
          s  = exit with saving (no menu command)
          n  = exit without saving (= #191)
          sr = restart with saving (no menu command)
          nr = restart without saving (= #190)
      Examples:
        exit; //default exit, like clicking X-xlose
        exit "nr"; //restart without saving
    * Configuration | Tabs | Prompt on closing a locked tab: Now also 
      affects "Close all other tabs".
    ! Top-align if vertically cropped: Was a little too aggressive. Now 
      it only top-aligns when a new image is loaded. So you can neatly 
      toggle between a zoomed-and-panned and a total view of the current 
      image using e.g. Fit Width (W) without being thrown back to the 
      top each time.

v11.60.0002 - 2012-09-12 13:36
    + Configuration | Preview: Added option "Top-align if vertically 
      cropped". Tick to initially top-align a vertically cropped 
      preview. Useful for documents where you want to see the title 
      first. If not ticked the preview is vertically centered.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now, unless "Fit All" is 
      enabled, the arrow keys (Left, Right, Up, Down) are used for 
      panning the image by 32 pixel steps. Hold CTRL to pan all the way.
      Note that even when an image is not cropped (and no panning can 
      happen) the arrow keys will not open the next or previous picture 
      (unless "Fit All" is enabled). Image browsing works 
      unconditionally with PageDown and Space (Next), and PageUp and 
      Shift+Space (Previous)
    * Configuration | Preview: Renamed "Zoom smaller originals to fit 
      screen" to "Zoom to fit".      
    ! Folder View Settings: When going to a new folder with FVS and a 
      changed list view (e.g. from Details to Thumbnails), the old 
      folder was shortly displayed in the new view. Bug from June 2012. 
      Fixed.
    ! Custom Keyboard Shortcuts: Some functions had no CKS yet. Fixed.

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.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Download: http://www.xyplorer.com/download.htm

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.
