v10.10.0103 - 2011-08-23 20:52
  +++ Droppable User Buttons (DUB): Now it's an official feature. The 
      initial short comings have all been removed in the meantime and 
      passed the test of time:
      - Command line parameters work when dropping onto the buttons.
      - Custom icons can be defined using the Icon field.
      - A special overlay marking the buttons as drop targets is not 
        really necessary and would rather add visual irritiation (dirt) 
        to the toolbar. Instead a note was added to the tooltip.
    * Custom Copy Blacklist: Now you have to append an * (asterisk) to 
      mark a folder as being blacklisted including all subfolders.
      An example using recursive and non-recursive paths:
        %HOMEDRIVE%
        %ALLUSERSPROFILE%*
        %ProgramFiles%*
        %ProgramFiles(x86)%*
        %WinDir%*

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) Portable 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.

v10.10.0102 - 2011-08-23 12:19
    + Configuration | Templates | Incremental Suffix: Now you can pass 
      any non-numeric characters along with a numerical increment.
      Example:
        Template: -copy01
        First increments: *-copy01, *-copy02, *-copy03 ...
      Before, some of those characters, e.g. "y", would be interpreted as 
      date templates leading to undesired results.
    + Custom Copy: Now you can state a Custom Copy Blacklist containing 
      any number of target paths which shall be excluded from Custom 
      Copy (and automatically use normal Shell Copy instead).
      The data should be provided in a file placed in <xydata> and 
      named "CustomCopyBlacklist.dat". The paths should be listed one 
      per line in any order. All sorts of variables and portable syntax 
      are supported. Here's an example for the contents of the file on 
      64-bit Windows (on 32-bit Windows you would drop the line 
      "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"):
        %ALLUSERSPROFILE%
        %ProgramFiles%
        %ProgramFiles(x86)%
        %WinDir%
      The typical reason for blacklisting folders is that Custom Copy 
      will fail where UAC disallows writing to them, whereas Shell Copy 
      will prompt for elevation.
    ! SC tab: The tab icon was not refreshed if necessary due to a 
      "rename" operation that changed the custom tab icon. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort filenames by base: Sorting of files 
      where the base name only differed in capitalization lead to wrong 
      (actually slightly unpredictable) sort oders. Fixed.

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) Portable Package.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.

    ! Scripting: SC copyto failed (nothing was copied) if Custom Copy 
      was enabled and the source contained wildcards. Fixed: Now, if the 
      source contains wildcards shell copy is used instead of Custom 
      Copy.
      Later, support for wildcards in the source will be added.

    ! For a couple of builds, Toolbar and Address Bar could get 
      completely wiped visually when drives were plugged in/out while 
      the app was minimized. Fixed.

    + Select Items: Now there's a feedback on the status bar.
    ! Tabs: A named tab could lose its name under certain conditions. 
      Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort filenames by base: Sorting of 
      folders with a dot in the name went wrong (the resulting sort 
      order depended on the previous sort order in an apparently 
      unpredictable way). Fixed.

v10.10.0008 - 2011-07-27 14:09
    + Tabs: Now you can define the icon for each Tab. Simply append any 
      file or folder spec to the caption of the tab, i.e. to the name 
      you give to a tab by the "Rename Tab" function (found in the tab 
      headers context menu), separated by a | (pipe). It can be an icon 
      file or any other file. XY variables, environments variables, and 
      all the usual portable stuff is supported.
      Examples:
        fav|E:\Test\Kiss.ico
        xy|<xy>
        co|MyComputer
    + Configuration | Advanced | Use generic icons for super-fast 
      browsing: Added sub-option "Apply to all controls". Tick it to 
      have super-fast generic icons everywhere (Catalog, Statusbar, 
      Properties, various other lists) not just in the file list.
      Note that the Toolbar is an exception and will always show 
      specific icons for Droppable User Buttons (DUB).
    * Configuration | Advanced | Use generic icons for super-fast 
      browsing: Was too aggressive since 20110416 in that it applied not 
      only to the List but also to the Catalog, the Toolbar, the Status 
      Bar, and various lists in List Management and elsewhere. Changed: 
      Now it applies only to the List (= the main file list).
      The new option "Apply to all controls" can be used to replicate 
      the previous behavior.
    + Tweak to suppress overlays for Catalog items with "Action on 
      click" set to anything other than "Go to Location":
        CatalogNoActionOverlays=1
    * Configuration | Extended | Dbl-click on empty space goes up: Now 
      it's ticked by factory default. Win7's Explorer now mimics this 
      old XY feature, so it's time to meet the expectations.

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) Portable Package.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.

    * Catalog Custom Icons: Now you can also use folders and special 
      folders ("Desktop") for the icon spec. Before, only files were 
      supported.
    ! Catalog Custom Icons: Did not auto-update the displayed icon after 
      changing the custom icon in Properties. Fixed.
    * Check for updates on startup: Slightly improved the UI of the 
      dialog you see when there is a new version available.

v10.10.0004 - 2011-07-23 13:11
    + Portable File Associations: Now you can define the icon that's 
      shown in the OpenWith menu. Simply append any file spec to the 
      caption, separated by a | (pipe). It can be an icon file or any 
      other file. XY variables, environment variables, and all the usual 
      portable stuff is supported.
      Examples:
        "PS|E:\Test\Kiss.ico" jpg;png;gif>Photoshop
        "PS|<xy>" jpg;png;gif>Photoshop
        "Say hi!|E:\Test\Kiss.ico" jpg>::msg "hi";
        "Say hi!|C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe" jpg>::msg "hi";
        |"Append date|E:\Test\Kiss.ico" \;*>::rename b, '*-<datem yyyymmdd>'
      As before, if no icon is defined the icon is taken from the 
      associated application. If a script is associated, then the 
      default script icoin is taken (white arrow on blue).
    + Catalog: Now you can define the icon for each Catalog item. Simply 
      append any file spec to the caption, separated by a | (pipe). It 
      can be an icon file or any other file. XY variables, environments 
      variables, and all the usual portable stuff is supported.
      Examples see above. It works just the same.

      locations as well". Tick to show icon overlays also on network 
      locations. Note that this can slow down network browsing 
      considerably.
    ! Toolbar | Drive button groups: The toolbar width did not auto-
      adjust correctly to the (dis)appearance of drive buttons. Fixed.

    ! Configuration | General | Sort filenames by base: When sorting 
      items with identical base (and consequently different extensions) 
      by a column other than Name or Ext, the sort order of those items 
      could get wrong IF "Sort filenames by base" was enabled. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Check for updates on startup: Did 
      not handle an offline situation correctly. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Check for updates on startup: On 
      some systems the message box got hidden behind the main window.

    ! New Tab button: Did not work as expected on the combination
      - Show X close buttons on tabs: never.
      - Visual style: XYplorer classic.
      Fixed.
    ! Backup / Custom Copy: Using byte-to-byte verification on files of 
      20 GB or larger always resulted in a claimed verification failure 
      whereas the real failure was an overflow in the verification 
      function. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Check for updates on startup: On 
      some systems the message box got hidden behind the main window. 
      Attempted fix.
    ! Tabs: Dbl-clicking the X-close button (which is not a useful 
      action, but possible to do) triggered also a dbl-click-on-empty-
      tab-bar event. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v10.10.0000 - 2011-07-18 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ Drive Bar. Now XYplorer offers a smart drive bar that flexibly 
      integrates into the toolbar. The availability of drives is 
      reflected in real time, and the individual drive buttons function 
      as drop targets.
  +++ Tab Bar. Now you can show a New Tab button on the tab bar of each 
      pane. It lets you quickly open a new tab.
  +++ Sort Order. Now you can sort filenames primarily by base, and 
      secondarily by extension. This is the Win7 way and it's usually 
      preferable to the XP way (sort by full name).
  +++ Empty Folder. The context menu of folders in Tree and List now 
      optionally features a command to empty the right-clicked folder.
