v10.90.0004 - 2012-03-05 12:13
    + Configuration | Advanced: Added "Allow zombies in the Mini Tree". 
      Tick it to keep currently unavailable folders in the Mini Tree, 
      given they are located on currently unavailable drives.
      Factory default is OFF, i.e. on loading a Mini Tree any 
      unavailable folders are silently removed from the tree.
      Note: This has been available as a tweak since v10.80.0310.
    * Branch View: From now on, when you turn on Branch View on a Search 
      Results tab and the searched location is not identical with the 
      current location (as shown in the Title Bar, the Address Bar, and 
      in the Tree), then the Branch View is applied to the current 
      location, not the searched location. Before, it was applied to the 
      searched location, which is unlikely to be what the user intended.
    * Info Panel | Tags: Now spaces are auto-added to the separators in 
      the Labels and Tags fields for better looks and readability.
    * Toolbar | Tabsets: In the button's dropdown the current tabset is 
      now marked by a black dot (aka radio-checked).
    * Tabsets: In the "Open..." and "Open As..." lists the current 
      tabsets are now shown in bold.
    ! Tabsets: "Revert to Saved" would not work with the default tabsets 
      of each pane ("1" and "2") after a restart because they were saved 
      on app exit to the real folder, not to the temporary one. Fixed.
    ! Help | Various Information | Windows Version: "Windows 8" was not 
      correctly displayed when XY was running under Windows 8. Fixed.

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.

v10.90.0003 - 2012-03-04 17:00
    + Configuration | Fonts | Main Contents: Now you can control which 
      of the main controls (List, Tree, Catalog, Address Bar, Tabs) 
      adjust to the custom size of the Main Contents font (not just to 
      the custom name). A new button "Apply to..." opens a checkbox list 
      where you can tick the controls that shall adjust to the font 
      size. Factory default is all controls.
      Note that this setting also determines which controls listen to 
      the Ctrl+Wheel method to modify the main font size.
    + List | Secondary Sorting: Now you can remove any secondary sorting 
      and keep the current primary sort order: Hold SHIFT and click the 
      primary sort column.
    ! Tree: The icon for the "User" special folder was not correct for 
      Win7. Fixed.
    ! Tree, List: The icon for the "User" physical folder was not 
      correct for Win7. Fixed.
    ! Color Filters: Were not always correctly applied to items in 
      Details View where backcolor and textcolor of different filters 
      should be merged. The backcolor was missing when the list was 
      redrawn due to focus loss or focus gain. Fixed.
    - User-Defined Commands: In v10.80.0313 the following fix was added:
      ! User-Defined Commands: Script reentry was possible with 
        undesired side-effects. Fixed.
      However, this "fix" did not fix anything but crippled the 
      functionality of UDC. Fixed the fix. Now you get an error message 
      when a UDC calls itself.
    ! Branch View: Did not honor locked home zones. Fixed.

v10.90.0002 - 2012-03-03 20:27
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   FileSize
      Action: Retrieves the size of the specified file, in bytes.
      Syntax: filesize([filename])
        filename: file full path/name, or relative to current path
                  defaults to the current file
      Examples:
        echo filesize();
        echo filesize("C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe");
    + SC ReadFile enhanced by new Start parameter.
      Name:   ReadFile
      Action: Read data from file into string.
      Syntax: readfile([filename], [mode], [numbytes], [codepage], _
                  [start=1])
        start: byte position to start reading from; 1 = beginning of file
      Example:
        // read current file from position 100
        text readfile(, , , , 100);
      Tip: Now with FileSize() and ReadFile(..., start) you can easily 
      write scripts that join and split files.
    ! Scripting: Permanent Variables were not resolved when referenced 
      in a script called by the load() statement. Fixed.
    ! Tags: On startup on a locked Mini Tree, tags were not initialized 
      before showing the list. Fixed.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

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

Code: Select all

v10.90.0000 - 2012-02-27 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Tag-Based File Management. A new interface makes searching for 
      Labels, Tags, and Comments more comfortable and powerful.
  +++ Multi Field Search. In a Boolean search you can now mix different 
      fields, e.g. find all images with 1024 x 768 pixels AND labeled 
      "Red" AND having "2012" in the name. Such a search can be wrapped 
      into a single click, e.g. as Favorite or Toolbar button.
  +++ Text Preview. Now you can select a different encoding for the 
      previewed text file, e.g. Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese.
  +++ Branch View. Tree-like sort order now supports per-folder
      secondary sorting, i.e. files can be sorted within their 
      respective parent folders.
  +++ Multi Branch View. Now it shows the containing/top level folders, 
      not just the files contained in those folders. Makes moving files 
      around quicker and simpler than opening a second pane. It's like 
      having dual pane, triple pane, quad pane, etc. in one list.

    * Multi Branch View: Now the containing/top level folders in a Multi 
      Branch View are shown as well, not just the items contained in 
      those folders.
      In other words, the tweak FlatMBVShowTopFolders (v10.80.0315) is 
      now hard-coded to True. It's just too good to be missed.
    ! Catalog: Drawing glitch where collapsing catagories could lead to 
      blank captions when the vertical scrollbar disappeared. Fixed.

    ! Branch View: Secondary Sorting did not work when first sorting was 
      on Path with tree-like sort order. Fixed. Now the files within 
      each subfolder are sorted by the secondary order.
    ! Branch View: The Branch View icon did not draw under Win7 with 
      non-standard DPI settings. Wow. Fixed.

v10.80.0318 - 2012-02-25 13:41
    + Find Files | Tags: Added checkbox "Search everywhere". Tick it to 
      search the whole computer. It will overwrite what is stated in the 
      Location field on the "Name & Location" tab.
      This is useful because Tags search will often be "everywhere" and 
      it's uncomfortable to always switch to the "Name & Location" tab 
      and select "*" or "Computer" as location.
      This setting is not reset by "Reset Filters" because it is assumed 
      that you will prefer if it stays.
    * Tree: Now, a Tree bypassed by a search (i.e. the searched location 
      is not shown let alone selected in the Tree) is displayed with a 
      grey background, resp. with the color you have defined for Locked 
      Trees.
      This will safe you from false assumptions about the current search 
      location.
      FYI, the actual search location can be seen in the main window 
      title, in the tooltip of the search tab, and in the Location field 
      on the Find Files tab.

    * Branch View: From now on, Multi Branch View on selected folders is 
      only toggled on when more than one item is selected in the current 
      list. Else you get a normal Branch View of the current folder.
    ! Branch View: Going Up on a persistent Branch View did still not 
      work correctly with a locked tree. Fixed.

    + Added tweak to show the containing/top level folders in Multi 
      Branch Views, not just the files contained in those folders:
        FlatMBVShowTopFolders=1
    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View: Added a field to 
      customize the "Level-indent width in pixels (1 to 64)".
      New factory default is 12.
    * Branch View: Before, toggling BV would actually retrigger BV if 
      the file list had focus and any folder was selected.
      Now, this only happens when more than one item is selected.
    ! Branch View: Some stupidity in v10.80.0314. Fixed.
    * Updated the help file. Especially improved the Find Files section.

    ! Branch View: Going Up on a persistent Branch View when one or more 
      folders were selected in the file list lead to a state of arboreal 
      frenzy where the Tree tried to achieve two incompatible things at 
      the same time. Fixed.

    + SC setkey enhanced: Added optional parameter flags.
      Syntax: setkey value, key, section, [INIfile], [flags]
        flags:  1: Write the value in quotes.
      Examples:
        // Year=2012
        setkey "2012", "Year", "Vacation", "<curpath>\holiday.ini";
        // Year="2012"
        setkey "2012", "Year", "Vacation", "<curpath>\holiday.ini", 1;
    * Configuration | General: Ticking "Mixed sort on path columns" now 
      creates a Tree-like sort order when sorting by Path.
    > Configuration | Find Files & Branch View: Ticking "Default to 
      tree-like sort order" will simply ensure that the Branch View is 
      sorted by Path. To make it Tree-like also "Configuration | General 
      | Mixed sort on path columns" has to be ticked.
      Both settings are ticked by default.
    * Toolbar | Branch View: In the context menu, replaced obsolete 
      "Unsort List" by "Configure Branch View...".
    * Branch View: In v10.80.0309 - 2012-02-19 15:27 the following 
      change was made:
        From now on, when folders are not listed themselves in the 
        Branch View (e.g. because they are hidden for having the SYSTEM 
        attribute) then also their contents are not listed.
      However, this is not useful when "Let folders pass all filters" is 
      OFF and the Branch View is filtered by a Name Search pattern or by 
      a Visual Filter, because there you would expect to see all items 
      in the Branch, not just the ones in the folders that happen to 
      match the filters.
      Therefore, from now on, the rule "don't list items in non-listed 
      folders" is applied ONLY to folders that are hidden because user 
      opted to hide SYSTEM or HIDDEN folders.
    ! Branch View: Tree-like sorting did not work well with Natural 
      Numeric Sort Order and folders with numeric names. Fixed.
    ! User-Defined Commands: Script reentry was possible with undesired 
      side-effects. Fixed.
    ! Raw View | Tail: Did not work correctly on wrapped view. Fixed.

v10.80.0312 - 2012-02-22 15:51
    * Branch View: Now sorting the list (in Branch View and also in 
      general Search Results) by Path will create a perfect tree-like 
      sort order, that is all folders sorted like in the tree and in 
      each folder you get the files listed ahead of any subfolders. 
      Sorting by Path again will reverse this order (which could not be 
      done previously by any means).
      Note: To make this happen sort settings must be so that folders 
      are NOT sorted apart, so either you turn off "Configuration | 
      General | Sort folders apart" (which is unlikely) or you turn on 
      "Configuration | General | Mixed sort on path columns" (which you 
      will likely do).
      Remarks: Normally this tree-like order is identical with 
      "Unsorted" since the file system browser usually returns the files 
      in alphabetical order. However, there are some minor differences 
      concerning Natural Numeric Sort Order, Sort Filenames by Base, and 
      other rare cases where the file system sort order just is not the 
      one you expect. When it comes to network shares things can deviate 
      dramatically from anything that you would call "order".

    + Favorite Folders and Favorite Files: Now you can pass a pointer to 
      an icon along with the caption. The icon will be shown in the 
      respective menu. The general form is Caption|Icon, where Icon can 
      have the following formats:
        Blah|C:\Beta\fun.ico    full path/file to file or folder
        Blah|Icons\fun.ico      relative path (to app data path)
        Blah|<xydata>\Icons\fun.ico       support of XY native variables
        Blah|:minitree          internal icon (toolbar buttons resource)
        Blah|                   nothing (no icon shown)
      FYI, the caption has to be set in double-quotes before the actual 
      path. This can be done in List Management. Example:
        "Stuff|<xydata>\icons\Kiss.ico" C:\Donald\Stuff and Matter\
    * Custom Copy: Now you get an error message when a source item does 
      not exist in the moment of attempted copy. Before, non-existing 
      source items were simply skipped without notice.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0077.
    * Tree: The Desktop special folder had an unconditional "+" on startup, 
      suggesting that it had children even if they were none. Now, the 
      folder is checked for subfolders on startup, unless you unticked 
      Configuration | General | Check existence of subfolders in tree.
    ! Mini Tree: Removable drive captions and icons were not always 
      updated when drives were added or removed. Fixed.
    ! List Management: Clicking the 'Browse...' button in various List 
      Management dialogs does not result in consistent behaviour. Fixed.
    ! List Management: Sort order related buttons were not correctly 
      auto-enabled/disabled. Fixed.
