v10.60.0004 - 2011-11-26 17:40
    + CKS | Miscellaneous | Focus: Added command "Move Up" (#1056). 
      Moves the selected Tree or List item(s) up one level.
      The command already existed in Configuration | Extended | Custom 
      items in shell context menu | File List. Now you can assign a 
      keyboard shortcut to it.
    + List Style "Full Row Select" (Details mode): From now on these 
      settings in Configuration | Tags:
        Toggle Labels by Label column click
        Popup by tag columns right-click
      overwrite FRS in the affected columns. In other words, the special 
      functionality of these columns remains intact even on FRS.

    + Name Search: Now you can search servers. Before, only the next 
      level (shares on servers) was implemented.
      For example:
        \\server\?b*

    + Menu View | Tab | Sort By: Added command "Previous Order". Resorts 
      the list using the previous sort order. Quite useful to toggle 
      between the two recent sort orders. Of course, you should assign a 
      handy keyboard shortcut to it to make it a funky experience.
    + Configuration | File Info Tips | Visible time in 
      milliseconds: It turns out this value has to be a signed 16-bit 
      integer for which the maximum value is 32767. So the tooltips 
      cannot be shown longer than about 32 seconds.

v10.60.0001 - 2011-11-23 15:24
    + Name Search: Added switch /b for "branch-filtered". With this 
      switch present name filters in the search or flat view are only 
      applied to branches (= folders and all of their contents), not to 
      files.
      Examples:
      - Run a recursive search but exclude any branches starting with 
        s*:
        E:\Test\?!s* /br
      - Run a flat view but exclude any branches starting with s* OR 
        with p*:
        E:\Test\?!s*;p* /b:flat
      Notes:
      - In a branch-filtered search, any Visual Filters apply only 
        to files, not to folders. So you can first filter the branches 
        using the search pattern, and then filter the files within the 
        shown branches using the visual filter pattern. This gives you 
        some interesting possibilities, like show all *.jpg in branches 
        not named "*copy*".
      - The switch overwrites "Let folders pass all filters" (sets it to 
        False internally).
    + Configuration | Find Files & Flat View | Cache search results: 
      Added a suboption "Maximum number of items cached (0 = cache 
      always)" where you can set an absolute limit to the number of 
      items cached. The factory default is set to 1000. There are 
      several reasons for such a limit:
      - The bigger the cache the slower it is compared to a live search. 
        So caching is simply inefficient, at least if it is done for 
        speed.
      - Reading a cache may (depending on the sort order of the cached 
        items) trigger lots of wild-jumping head movements.
      - A cache takes space on the disk.
      - A huge cache is more likely to be stale (out-of-date).
      You can experiment with different limits, but I personally would 
      not recommend a number higher than 1000.
      Note that this limit does not apply to Search Templates that are 
      explicitly saved together with the search results (which 
      internally is identical to caching).
    * Selection Stats: Now, when the Tree has the focus, the stats on 
      the current tree folder are returned. The layout differs slightly 
      to make immediately clear that this is a different sort of stats.
    - List Style "Full Row Select" (Details mode): Removed the following 
      feature from v4.00.0139 - 2005-07-27 18:04:
        Now a hit anywhere left of the Name column does not select the 
        item. This way you still have the Mouse Down Blow Up feature of 
        thumbnails in full row select mode, and you can drag-select 
        items in full row select mode if you start dragging in the Line 
        Number column or any other column that's located left of the 
        Name column.

v10.50.0031 - 2011-11-21 21:00
    + Catalog: Added command "Sort Category". Sorts the items of the 
      current category in alphabetically ascending order of their 
      captions.
    + Configuration | Find Files & Flat View: Added option "Let folders 
      pass all filters". If ticked then on a mixed flat view (showing 
      files and folders), any Visual Filters or Name Search patterns 
      only apply to files, not to folders. So the folders always stay 
      visible while their contents are filtered: A Filtered Tree.
      Note: This setting had been hard-coded before.
    ! Flat View: Not persistent on a locked Tree. Fixed.
    * Updated the help file.

    * Flat View: On a mixed Flat View (i.e. /:flat = showing files and 
      folders), any Visual Filters or Name Search patterns from now on 
      only apply to files, not to folders. In other words, all folders 
      always pass any filters.
      This fine feature, combined with level-indent and tree-like sort 
      order, enables you to view *filtered trees* in the file list, for 
      example a tree showing only images or only EXE files. Hot stuff!

Code: Select all

v10.50.0027 - 2011-11-17 20:47
  *** Find Files & Flat View: Rewrote the recursive file find algorithm. 
      Before, files and folders were processed in alphabetical order (as 
      delivered by NTFS) in each parent folder, e.g.:
        E:\Parent\A-File.png
        E:\Parent\Child              <DIR>
        E:\Parent\Child\A-File.png
        E:\Parent\Child\Z-File.png
        E:\Parent\Z-File.png
      Now, all files are processed before all folders in each parent 
      folder:
        E:\Parent\A-File.png
        E:\Parent\Z-File.png
        E:\Parent\Child              <DIR>
        E:\Parent\Child\A-File.png
        E:\Parent\Child\Z-File.png
      The big advantage of the new way is that in "Unsorted" sort order 
      (i.e. items are displayed in the order they were originally 
      delivered in to the file list by the recursive file find 
      algorithm) the items are now displayed in the most human-friendly, 
      "natural", namely tree-like order.
      The small disadvantage is that file find got around 2% to 6% 
      slower than before (the exact ratio depends on the makeup of the 
      input folders).
      Notes:
      - This core change will not surface in many situations, so you 
        won't note much of it usually. The major use of it is clearly in 
        level-indented Flat View with the file list in "unsorted" sort 
        order. Here it shines because it gives you a complete (folders 
        AND files) tree view of any branch your file system.
        Another effect is that on a recursive search you will 
        immediately get all matching *files* in search root level 
        listed, and only then the folders are processed recursively. 
        Before, you would get some matching files in search root level 
        only after processing folders that would precede them 
        alphabetically.
      - If you give a shit about this great improvement and care for 
        speed only, use this tweak:
        FindMixedSortPerLevel=1
    + Configuration | Find Files & Flat View: Added option "Default to 
      tree-like sort order". When invoking a level-indented Flat View 
      sort the items like in a tree: all items sorted alphabetically 
      under their direct parent folders. This usually the best way to 
      show a level-indented view so it's recommended to tick this 
      option.      
    + Configuration | Find Files & Flat View: Added option "Follow 
      junctions". Tick it to allow following junctions on a search 
      including subfolders.
      Note that this option had been added as a tweak in v7.90.0107 -
      2009-02-09 14:43. Now it's raised to GUI level.
    ! Flat View: Would follow folder links and junctions if File Find 
      was configured to do so. Fixed: Flat View never does this.
    ! Configuration | File Operations | No progress dialog on intra-
      volume moves: Was not honored in Search Results and Flat View. 
      Fixed.

v10.50.0025 - 2011-11-16 21:21
    + Configuration | Find Files & Flat View: Added the settings that 
      are already available in the toolbar button context menu:
      - Persist flat view across folders
      - Toggle flat view on same query
      - Cache flat view contents
      - Auto-refresh flat view
    + Configuration | Find Files & Flat View: There is also a new 
      setting here:
      - Level-indent flat view
        Indent the items in Flat View to show their hierarchical tree 
        position. Hard-coded to 8 pixels per level.
      Note: The Level-indented flat view is only useful when you set the 
      file list's sort order to "Unsorted". Then you get a pretty good 
      tree-like picture (however, with folders and files mixed-sorted in 
      their parent). To make unsorting the file list easier I added 
      "Unsort List" to the "Flat View" toolbar button's context menu.
    % Search Results and Flat View: Improved Auto-Refresh of the file 
      list when dragging files to folders within the list.
    ! List Management would crash when adding a new item to an empty AND 
      filtered list. Fixed.
    ! User Button's could not handle quotes in comments. Fixed.
    ! Flat View: Fixed a couple of glitches.

v10.50.0024 - 2011-11-15 15:07
  +++ Added Flat View. Lets you view the contents of all subfolders of a 
      folder in one list.
      To turn on Flat View (FV), use the new toggle "Flat View" in menu 
      View | Tab | Views (also available in the file list's white space 
      and the tabs' context menu), or the new "Flat View" toolbar 
      button.

      Advanced Usage
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      FV is itself implemented in a flat way: The syntax is human-
      readable and editor-editable: A switch at the end of the location 
      spec, e.g.:
        E:\XYplorer\appdata\? /:flat
      The question mark is a part of it, no wonder since FV is 
      technically nothing but a recursive search, and the normal name 
      search syntax applies, for example:
        ? /f:flat     = show only files in FV (the FV switches are 
                        appended to any normal switches, separated by 
                        colon (:).
        ?a* /:flat    = show only items beginning with a* in FV
      
      This flat syntax enables you to trigger FV from the Address Bar, 
      Catalog, Favorites, Scripting, etc.
      
      Types of Flat View
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      There are three types of Flat View:
        1. /:flat      = Show files and folders
        2. /:flatfiles = Show files only
        3. /:flatdirs  = Show folders only
      By factory default the first one is used when FV is toggled via 
      menu or toolbar. You can change this default in Configuration | 
      Find Files & Flat View | Default flat view type.
        
      Configuration
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      The toolbar button has a context menu featuring some configuration 
      options:
        - Persist Flat View Across Folders
          Keep the Flat View mode active when changing folders with the 
          same tab.
        - Toggle on Same Query
          Applying the same query again, e.g. "? /:Flat" from the 
          Catalog, works like a toggle.
        - Cache Flat View Contents
          Like Search Results caching, the Flat View contents can be 
          cached between tab switches and sessions.
        - Auto-Refresh Flat View
          Allow a list in Flat View mode to be auto-refreshed.
      All these settings are global to all FV tabs.
      
      Notes
      ~~~~~
      - Like Search, FV is stored tab-wise and remembered between 
        sessions.
      - Unlike Search, FV is always done in the current tab (even if it 
        is locked).
      - A tab on FV is marked by a special icon.
      - When toggling FV, the sort order and view mode remains the same. 
        Other list settings (back color, column order, column 
        visibility, column widths) are taken from the Find mode (aka 
        Search Results).
      - Refresh List will refresh FV, it will not rebrowse the folder in 
        normal view.

v10.50.0023 - 2011-11-12 14:25
    + Configuration | General: Added "Allow move on rename", a cute 
      little time saver that enables you to move-and-rename files or 
      folders in one go right from the file list. Simply enter a 
      relative (to the current path of the file!) or absolute 
      path\[name] into the inline rename box (F2) in the file list, and 
      Move On Rename will happen. If the target folder doesn't exist yet 
      it is created on the fly.

      Examples:
      Select a file in the file list and enter this into the rename box:
      - C:\new.png        = Move file to C:\ renaming it to new.png.
      - C:\1\2\3\new.png  = Move file to C:\1\2\3 renaming it to 
        new.png. If "C:\1\2\3\" does not exist it is created.
      - ..\new.png        = Move file one up renaming it to new.png.
      - stuff\new.png     = Move file one down to subfolder "stuff" 
        renaming it to new.png. If "stuff" does not exist it is created.
      You can also move a file or folder without renaming it. Simply 
      select the rename box, and enter a path with a trailing slash:
      - C:\stuff\         = Move file to C:\stuff\.
      - stuff\            = Move file one down to subfolder "stuff".
      - ..\               = Move file one up.
      Or create a new folder and paste "Parent\Child" into the fresh 
      rename box: The relative path "Parent\Child" is created in the 
      current path.

      Notes:
      - Move On Rename works only for one item at a time (no Batch 
        Move On Rename).
      - This feature already exists as a tweak (AllowMoveOnRename) 
        since v6.80.0098 - 2008-03-05 12:52. Finally I got around 
        raising it to Configuration level.
