Code: Select all

v26.10.0101 - 2024-06-15 11:27
    * Tweak OpenAllSelectedInMultipleInstances is now set to 1 by factory default (not for 
      upgraders):
        OpenAllSelectedInMultipleInstances=1
      This ensures that you can open multiple documents with ENTER even if the opening 
      application cannot handle them in one instance. In this case, a separate instance is 
      opened for each document.
    * Go | Up: No more going up to This PC from Rapid Access or Network; both have been 
      top tree nodes for a while. Top of the food chain.
    * Rapid Access Folders: Now when you go up from a top RAF you don't end up in the 
      virtual folder "Rapid Access", but in the real path parent folder of the RAF.
    ! Rapid Access Folders: When adding a new RAF name, collisions with existing special 
      folders were automatically prevented by adding an index to the name, but you could 
      still create such collisions when renaming an existing RAF. Fixed.
    ! Rapid Access Folders: If "Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree 
      and List > Rapid Access Folders" was unchecked, going down within a RAF could end up 
      switching to the real path even in the Mini Tree (since 20240525). Fixed. The Mini 
      Tree should not care about the "Items in Tree and List" setting.

v26.00.0311 - 2024-06-06 11:59
    + Toolbar | Find Similar Images: Added "Similarity Total" (aka Zero Tolerance) as 
      another option. The tolerance value here is fixed to 0 (can't tweak). Finds all 
      images that are pixel-identical to the reference image.
    ! Find Files | Name & Location | Selected Locations: If enabled, a selected file would 
      be treated as if it were a folder, and even added as a zombie subfolder to the 
      current folder in tree and breadcrumb (since 20240518, related to a change in Multi 
      Branch View). Fixed.
    ! Hover Box |  Zoom to Fit: Did not work with TIF/TIFF files. Fixed.
    ! Find Similar Images and Find Files | Dupes: Zero Tolerance did not work yet with 
      TGA. Fixed.

v26.00.0309 - 2024-06-04 21:04
    % Find Similar Images: Algorithm again improved to handle some edge cases like extreme 
      aspect ratios (needles).
    ! Opening JPG/JPEG Files: There's a bug in Windows 10/11 that prevents JPG/JPEG files 
      from opening with a simple double-click. Worked around #2.

v26.00.0308 - 2024-06-04 15:11
    % Find Similar Images: Solved some mysteries. Algorithm now works much better. 
      That's FsiHashType=0. The other hash types are probably not needed anymore.

v26.00.0307 - 2024-06-04 10:56
    + Find Similar Images: Added a tweak to customize the tolerance values for the three 
      similarity levels. This is the default (high;medium;low):
        FsiSimilarityTolerance=1;7;14
    % Find Similar Images: Improved the algorithm. Now there are three different hash 
      methods, and you can tweak your choice (default is 0, you can try 1 and 2):
        FsiHashType=0
      It's too complex to explain what they do and how they differ. Just play around with 
      them to see what works best for you. And let me know.
      FYI, the default is now back to what it was before v26.00.0306 (hashes can vary in 
      length depending on the aspect ratio of the image), but there are changes in the 
      calculation of the Hamming distance which make HashType 0 stronger than it was before.
      Note that this tweak also affect the Find Files | Dupes search.
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Dupes | Tolerance: Now the range goes from 0 to 32. 
      Depending on the hash type you might need higher tolerance.
    ! Opening JPG/JPEG Files: There's a bug in Windows 10/11 that prevents JPG/JPEG files 
      from opening with a simple double-click. Worked around.

v26.00.0306 - 2024-06-03 12:06
    * Image Dupes: Improved the algorithm. Now the hashes always have 16 hex characters 
      (64 bits), and there should be less false positives and negatives on average.
    > Image Dupes: Note that it can make a difference which image you compare the others 
      to. You will get the most matches if your image is somewhere in the middle of the 
      similarity distribution. See "Family resemblance" (Wittgenstein) for more insight.
