Code: Select all

v10.90.0105 - 2012-03-17 20:19
    + Admin Settings: Added a new key "FileTagDat" to the section 
      [Paths] to Admin.ini, which can be used to overwrite the 
      otherwise not customizable path to the tags database file: 
        [Paths]
        FileTagDat=\\North\Share\XY\CommonTags.dat
      Usage:
        This setting can be used for example to share file tagging 
        (Labels, Tags, Comments) across a network by different members 
        of a team. Or to let different configurations (/ini=...) share 
        the same tagging.
      Notes:
      - FYI, the default path is <xydata>\tag.dat.
      - The administrator is responsible for a sensible rights 
        management. A shared tags database should be read-only for the 
        normal user to avoid write conflicts.
        This can also be done via setting eAPDisallow_Write_Tags (512) 
        in Admin.ini, which will deny the user to modify tags (Labels, 
        Tags, and Comments):
          [Settings]
          Profile=512
    + New variables:
        <xytagdat>    = XYplorer tags database path/file
        <xynewitems>  = XYplorer new items path (unslashed)
    * SC quote enhanced: Added flag to unquote strings.
      Syntax: quote([string], [flags=0])
        flags:  0: Quote.
                1: Unquote.
      Example:
        echo quote('"Hola!"', 1); // Hola!
    * SC getkey: Removed the optional parameter flags added recently in 
      v10.90.0102. Instead the function now always behaves as if 
      flags=1, i.e. leading TAB characters in values are returned and 
      not cropped.
    ! Paste: After a successful Cut/Paste the clipboard was 
      unconditionally cleared. Now, it is only cleared when it still 
      contains the pasted source data. So, you now can reuse the 
      clipboard during longer paste jobs without having it cleared when 
      the job is eventually finished.
    ! Selection Filter: The last filter was saved to INI even if 
      excluded by save settings in Configuration | Startup & Exit | 
      Remember most-recently-used lists. Fixed.
    + Tweak to add any number of user defined codepages directly to the 
      INI file. General Format: 
        NameOfCodePage=Value;NameOfCodePage=Value;...
      Here's an example of how the key could be set:
        UserCodePages=IBM 437 (DOS-US)=437;IBM 850 (DOS-Latin-1)=850
      The dropdown menu on the Preview tab will show the user defined 
      codepages.

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.

v10.90.0104 - 2012-03-15 20:55
    ! Find Files: With "Follow folder links" enabled the Path column 
      showed wrong relative paths for items found under a folder link. 
      Fixed: The Path column now is forced to show absolute paths when 
      "Follow folder links" is enabled. This has always been the case 
      but somehow got lost in one of the recent versions.
    ! Configuration dialog: Had lost the memory about its previous 
      position. Now it's back. And smarter. As long as you only move the 
      main window, the Configuration dialog will always be centered 
      above it. Only when you actively move the Configuration dialog it 
      will remember its previous position and restore it independently 
      of the main window.

v10.90.0103 - 2012-03-15 11:34
    + Admin Settings: Added a new section [Paths] to Admin.ini, which 
      can be used to overwrite some otherwise hard-coded data paths. 
      Currently two keys are supported (here with sample values):
        [Paths]
        Catalogs=C:\CommonXYCatalogs\
        NewItems=\\North\Share\XY\NewItems\
      Usage:
        These settings can be used for example to share Catalog and 
        NewItems resources across a network by different members of a 
        team. Or to let different configurations (/ini=...) share the 
        same resources.
      Notes:
      - FYI, the default paths are:
        Catalogs: <xydata>\Catalogs\
        NewItems: <xydata>\NewItems\
      - The administrator is responsible for a sensible rights 
        management. E.g. shared Catalogs should be read-only for the 
        normal user to avoid write conflicts.
    ! SC listfolder: The fix of the FindFirstFile API bug in v10.80.0014 
      (2012-01-26 12:43) introduced a new bug that made SC listfolder 
      case-sensitive. Fixed. Now it's case-insensitive again, e.g. a 
      pattern "s*" will return "song" and "Song".      
    ! Tree: When pressing SHIFT within 300 msecs after moving to a new 
      folder by arrow key, it was interpreted as if SHIFT had been 
      pressing *while* the arrow key was pressed with the consequence 
      that a new tab was opened. Fixed.
    ! Configuration dialog: Unfortunate placement under certain 
      conditions. Fixed. Configuration is now always centered over the 
      main form, but ensured to be fully within the monitor(s).

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

v10.90.0102 - 2012-03-14 13:36
    + Configuration | File Info Tips: Added yet another extra field to 
      the bottom of the list: "Hard Links". Shows the number of Hard 
      Links of a file. Every file has at least one.
      If the function fails for any reason, the returned value is -1.
    + SC getkey enhanced: Added optional parameter flags.
      Syntax: getkey(key, section, [INIfile], [flags])
        flags:  1: Use XYplorer's native algorithm.
      Notes:
      - XYplorer's native algorithm for reading INI values will return 
        leading TAB characters. The standard Windows algorithm will not.
      - XYplorer's native algorithm is optimized for reading hundreds of 
        keys out of huge INI files. It's not made for picking out single 
        keys as the getkey() function does. So, performance-wise you 
        will suffer a bit for the added functionality.
      Examples where Year=[TAB]2012:
        // returns "2012"
        text getkey("Year", "Vacation", "<curpath>\holiday.ini");
        // returns "[TAB]2012"
        text getkey("Year", "Vacation", "<curpath>\holiday.ini", 1);
    * Configuration | Jump to Setting...: Now if the list shows only one 
      item OK will trigger it even if it is not selected.
    * Menu Help | List All Commands...: Now if the list shows only one 
      item OK will trigger it even if it is not selected.
    ! Configuration dialog: Wrong placement under non-standard display 
      settings. Fixed.

v10.90.0101 - 2012-03-13 13:37
    % Find Files: Improved the internal decision-making about the 
      possibility of a fast database search where Multi Field Searches 
      contain tags. Now, a fast database search is always applied when 
      possible regardless of the order and nature of the parts of the 
      Boolean expression.
      These complicated tips from v10.80.0304 are now obsolete:
        - You can control the speed of a search by carefully choosing the 
          order of operands in a Boolean search term. For example, the 
          following terms yield the same results but in different ways:
            1) tags:cats,dogs AND name:a*
            2) name:a* AND tags:cats,dogs
          Term (1) first scans the Tags database for items in the search 
          location that have tags "cats" and "dogs", and then matches the 
          results against pattern "a*".
          Term (2) first scans the search location for items matching 
          pattern "a*", and than checks the tags attributed to each of 
          these items.
          It depends on the size of your tags database, and the size of 
          the search location which order is faster.
          > Rule to remember: The first order (scan Tags database first) 
            is always and only applied when the leftmost term refers to 
            Tags (lbl:, tags:, cmt:) and is bound to an AND-operator.
          > Tip: If you search the whole Computer or a whole drive you 
            will always want the tags-operand first.
    ! Scripting: Variables named $xor, $or, and $and did fool the 
      parser. Fixed.
    ! Tabs: The icons of background tabs did not auto-refresh on adding 
      or removing a drive. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: Using the "?:\" notation to refer to the installation 
      drive did not work anymore if "Configuration | Advanced | Address 
      Bar relative to application path" was unticked. Fixed. Now it 
      always works independently of this setting.

    ! Branch View: After a RegExp search a subsequent Branch View in 
      another tab would get filtered by the previous search pattern 
      because it had not been internally reset. Fixed.
    ! SC readfile: The combination of parameters "numbytes" and "start" 
      allowed to apparently read characters beyond EOF. In fact the read 
      buffer was not redimensioned correctly. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: Comparing numerical values choked on the LikeI, UnLike, 
      and UnLikeI operators. Fixed.

    * Configuration | Extended: Renamed "Default items only in shell 
      context menu" to "Hide shell extensions from shell context menu".
    % SC property enhanced: Now "#ResolveJunctionsAll" has built-in 
      protection from endless recursion caused by cyclic junction 
      structures.
    ! Branch View: Auto-Refresh after deleting a subfolder did leave the 
      contained items in place. Fixed. Now also the contents are removed 
      from display.

v10.90.0013 - 2012-03-10 18:03
    + SC property enhanced: Added argument "#ResolveJunctionsAll" for 
      complete resolution in situation of complex junction structures.
        #ResolveJunctions     = path with all junctions resolved, one pass
        #ResolveJunctionsAll  = path with all junctions resolved, many passes
      #ResolveJunctionsAll will resolve paths again and again until 
      nothing is left to be resolved.
      Example of a complex junction structure:
        C:\Dati\Condivisi\Musica\ = junction to C:\Backup\Condivisi\Musica\
                                  and
        C:\Backup\                = junction to N:\
      Now this returns C:\Backup\Condivisi\Musica\:
        text property("#ResolveJunctions", "C:\Dati\Condivisi\Musica\");
      And this returns N:\Condivisi\Musica\:
        text property("#ResolveJunctionsAll", "C:\Dati\Condivisi\Musica\");
      Note: "#ResolveJunctionsAll" has no built-in protection from 
      endless recursion caused by cyclic junction structures.
    ! Drag and Drop of an URL from a web browser address bar failed 
      miserably when the web page title contained characters that are 
      illegal for filenames. Fixed.
    ! Branch View: Auto-Refresh after drag and drop within a BV did not 
      always work on special paths under Win7. Fixed.
    ! List | Item Context Menu | Junction Target | Go to Junction 
      Target: Did resolve the target *again* if it contained any 
      junctions AND if Configuration | Advanced | Resolve junctions was 
      ON. Fixed. Junction Target is not resolved again.

  +++ Configuration: Added button "Jump to Setting..." (F3). Shows an 
      alphabetically ordered list of all settings available in the 
      Configuration dialog, along with a live filter box. From there you 
      can jump directly to a setting to check or modify it. The jump 
      targets are highlighted and focused. The jump target highlighting 
      stays as long as the Configuration dialog is open or another 
      setting is jumped to and highlighted.
      Note that buttons cannot be highlighted and thus are only focused.
    * Menu Help | List All Commands...: Now when the selected command is 
      filtered out of the list, it is not called on OK.
    * SC property: #ResolveJunctions worked only if "Configuration | 
      Advanced | Resolve junctions" was ON. Fixed. Now it works 
      independently of that setting.
    ! Tabsets could not be manually saved when "Save settings on exit" 
      and "Remember most-recently-used lists" were both off. Fixed.

      their IDs and keyboard shortcuts, where you can select a command 
      to call it.
      Tip: The list's right-click menu provides the option to copy the 
      list to the clipboard.
    * List Management: Now when you press "New" in a filtered list, the 
      filter is auto-reset before the new item is added. Click the icon 
      in the Live Filter box to reactivate the previous filter.
    ! Live Filter Box: Crashed on unclosed "[" in the pattern. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Also auto-select tabs in the 
      inactive pane". Untick to keep the inactive passive on being 
      dragged-over. This can be quite practical. Factory default is off.
    * Configuration | Tabs | Delay before a dragged-over tab is auto-

      are never auto-selected on drag-over.
    % Mini Tree: Improvements in startup speed when you habitually work 
      with unavailable servers in the Tree: Now, when you ticked 
      "Configuration | Advanced | Allow zombies in the Mini Tree" then 
      the Mini Tree will load totally fast on any unavailable network 
      paths. Also Mini Tree List Management will load totally fast.

      folders.

      should. Fixed.
    ! Shell context menu of Computer: Under 32-bit Windows Vista and 
      later the "Manage" item did not work. Fixed #2.
    ! Drag & Drop: Dropping from or to UNC paths the default operation 
      was always Move although it often (when servers or shares 
      differed) should have been Copy. Fixed.

      clone the current tabset.
      Note that you can still clone the current tabset by holding CTRL 
      while selecting it in the Toolbar | Tabsets dropdown.
    * SC input enhanced: The "notes" parameter is now also used in 
      multiline style ("m").
    ! Tree: Inline-renaming folders to longer names could make the 
      rename box disappear behind the right tree border. Fixed.

v10.90.0005 - 2012-03-05 15:48
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name:   wipe
      Action: Wipe the specified items.
      Syntax: wipe [itemlist]
        itemlist:  |-separated list of items (full path) to delete.
                   The | (pipe) resp. the items may be surrounded by any 
                   number of blanks.
                   Defaults to the selected items in list.
      Notes:      
      - The Wipe operation is identical to the one in menu File | File 
        Special | Wipe. The main advantage with SC wipe is that you can 
        pass the items to wipe as an argument.
      - For safety reasons there is no way to turn off the warning 
        prompt before the operation starts.
      - Just as a reminder: You can also wipe whole folders. All files 
        found within are individually wiped. Then the folders are 
        removed.
      Examples:
        // wipe all selected items in list: 
        wipe;
        // wipe two particular files: 
        wipe "E:\Test\1.txt|E:\Test\2.txt";
    + SC confirm() enhanced:
      Name:   confirm
      Syntax: confirm(text, [linebreaker], [defaultbutton=1])
        defaultbutton:
          1: [Default] First button (OK)
          2: Second button (Cancel)
      Examples:
        echo confirm("Should#I#stay#or#should#I#go#?", "#", 1);
        echo confirm("Should#I#stay#or#should#I#go#?", "#", 2);
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit: If off 
      then this particular key was still written to the INI file even if 
      it was not necessary. Fixed.
    ! Tree: Boxed Branch etc. could not be turned off for special 
      folders in a locked tree. Fixed #3.
