    + Configuration | File Operations | Backup Operations | On name 
      collisions: Added two new options and revised the wording of some 
      of the old options:
      - Overwrite only older files
      - Overwrite always
      - Overwrite never
      - Suffix number to copies
      - Affix current date to copies

      - Suffix number to existing
      - Affix current date to existing
      - Affix last modified date to existing
    + SC backupto enhanced: The on_collision parameter again got new 
      values and now has the following: 
        on_collision:
          0 = [Default] Use global setting from Configuration | File 
              Operations | Backup Operations | On name collisions
          1 = Overwrite only older files
          2 = Overwrite always
          3 = Overwrite never
          4 = Suffix number to copies
          5 = Affix current date to copies
          6 = Affix last modified date to copies
          7 = Suffix number to existing
          8 = Affix current date to existing
          9 = Affix last modified date to existing

    + Configuration | File Operations | Backup Operations | On name 
      collisions: Added a further option called "Suffix number to 
      existing" which allows you to avoid collisions by renaming the 
      existing instead of the copied file.
      If the existing file cannot be renamed for some reason, the copy 
      will not happen.
      The format of the number suffix is determined in Configuration | 
      Templates | Number suffix. The factory default is -00.
    + SC backupto enhanced: The on_collision parameter got a new value 
      (7) which allows you to avoid collisions by renaming the existing 
      instead of the copied file.
      Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision], _
                  [preserve_dates], [create_log], [pop_stats]
        on_collision:
          7 = Suffix number to existing
      For example, backup all selected items to E:\Test; on collision 
      number-suffix the existing items in E:\Test:
        ::backupto "E:\Test", , 7;

    ! Backup of items with overlong names: Contrary to what's advertised 
      the Backup operation did not recurse and copy directories (and 
      their contents) larger than 247 characters. Reason: A line of old 
      pre-overlong-filenames code was still in action at one place. 
      Embarrassing and fixed. Now the whole file system depth available 
      in NTFS is supported (approx. 32,767 chars).

    % General speed gain in painting.
    * IP | Find Files | Date: A couple of minor changes and a bug fix in 
      the dropdown.
    * List | Details view: Autosize Columns now adds an extra 7 pixels 
      to the Name column to make space for any color filters with 
      background colors defined, and generally to create a more relaxed 
      appearance.
    * Color Filters: Now Color Filters with background colors defined 
      and Tags with background colors defined (and Coloring Style "Name 
      column") can be shown combined in the Name column. Before, the Tag 
      would suppress the Color Filter.
    ! Color Filters: The "name:"-selector did not work correctly when 
      there was a space between it and the pattern. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Color Filters: Now, in Details mode, the first 
      matching filter *with* backcolor (if any) is displayed combined
      with the first matching filter *without* backcolor (if any).
      For example, if you have these filters defined and activated 
      (copied from List Management to show the colors):
        ageM: < 3 h>FFFF00,6798E0
        name: *.txt>38A050,
      then every TXT file that's younger than 3 hours is displayed with 
      the Name column colored "FFFF00,6798E0" (Text, Background) and 
      all the other columns colored "38A050" (Text only). Yeah!
    + Toolbar: Added buttons "Move to Other Pane" and "Copy to Other 
      Pane". They work identically to the same-named commands in menu 
      Panes and have small context menu.
    + Find Files | Date: Added item "Now" to the dropdown at the 
      "between" field. Sets the "between" field to the current date/time 
      and leaves the other field empty. The next search will find all 
      items whose date was changed since you pressed "Now".

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

:!: If you used Date or Age Color Filters in the recent BETA
versions you *MUST* remove the leading "/" in "/date" and "/age" manually after upgrading!

Code: Select all

v9.70.0029 - 2010-11-19 11:48
    * Configuration | Color Filters: The filter type selectors now have 
      no leading "/" anymore. The Attribute filter was adapted to the 
      new syntax, and the Name filter optionally as well. The previous 
      syntax is still supported for Attributes (/) and Size (/size:).
      
        Filter Type     Selector    Old Selector
        ----------------------------------------
        Name            [name:]
        Attributes      attr:       /
        Size            size:       /size:
        Date Created    dateC:
        Date Modified   dateM:
        Date Accessed   dateA:
        Age Created     ageC:
        Age Modified    ageM:
        Age Accessed    ageA:
        ----------------------------------------
      
      Notes
      - The Name Selector is optional: if no other selector is found 
        then Name is assumed by default.              
      - The "Old Selector" is still supported but deprecated.
      - Case does not matter in Selectors.
      - If you used Date or Age Color Filters in the recent BETA 
        versions you *MUST* remove the leading "/" manually after 
        upgrading!
      
  +++ Configuration | Color Filters: Now you can combine color filters 
      of any type and number with a Boolean AND. The operator is " AND " 
      (mind the surrounding spaces); it's not case-sensitive, so " and " 
      works as well.
      Notes:
      - The semi-colon (which works as Boolean OR) has a lower 
        precedence than AND.
      - Color Filters which contain the strings " AND " or ";" 
        can/should be quoted.
      Examples:
      - TXT files modified in any of the last 5 days at the 11th hour:
        ageM: <= 5 d AND dateC: h 11 AND *.txt
      - Files named "A AND B*" and larger than 1MB:
        "A AND B*" AND size: > 1MB
      - Files modified Mondays at 11 OR Tuesdays at 12:
        dateM: dw 1 AND dateM: h 11; dateM: dw 2 AND dateM: h 12;
    + Configuration | Color Filters: You now can add a comment to the 
      end of each filter, separated from the filter by "//", e.g.:
        ageM: d //modified today
    % List: Serial rename much faster on key repetition because Info 
      Panel update is suppressed while key is down.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) Portable Package.

Code: Select all

v9.70.0028 - 2010-11-18 13:50
    + Configuration | General: Added option "Serial rename by Up and 
      Down keys". Check it to use the cursor keys UP and DOWN to go to 
      the next and previous file while renaming them. Additionally, the 
      current caret position (e.g., your caret is at the 8th letter) is 
      kept if possible (if the filename is long enough), so renaming 
      files in a list now is almost like moving and typing around in a 
      multi-line text block. Very intuitive and convenient!
      FYI, serial rename by (Shift+)TAB key is always enabled by design, 
      independently of the above.
    * Rename boxes (anywhere in the app): Added special functionality to 
      keys PageUp and PageDown. It's the same functionality that's 
      already exhibited by Up and Down:
      - PageUp now moves the caret to the start of any selection, or, if 
        there is no selection, to the start of the whole text.
      - PageDown now moves the caret to the end of any selection, or, if 
        there is no selection, to the end of the whole text.
    * Configuration | Color Filters by Date: Changed the definition of 
      Unit Selector "dw" (day of week):
        OLD:  dw = day of week (Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, etc.)
        NEW:  dw = day of week (Monday = 1 ... Sunday = 7)
      Examples:
        /dateM: dw 6-7      = last modified on a weekend
        /dateM: dw 7-2      = last modified from sunday to tuesday
     + SC hash enhanced. Added algo SHA-512.
        algo:     Hash algorithm.
          sha512: SHA-512.
                  NOTE: SHA-512 is NOT supported on all systems!
        Example:
          ::text hash("sha512", "");

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v9.70.0027 - 2010-11-17 21:30
  +++ Configuration | Color Filters: Added color filters by file age. 
      All three file dates (Created, Modified, Accessed) are supported. 
      You now can, for example, color all files that were modified today 
      or last week, or that were created more than 10 years ago. A 
      useful thing if you ask me.

      General syntax:        
        /ageC: = Date Created
        /ageM: = Date Modified
        /ageA: = Date Accessed

      The usual operators apply; [n] is a number and [u] a unit 
      selector; for example:
        /ageM: [n] [u]        = specific unit
        /ageM: == [n] [u]     = specific unit
        /ageM: < [n] [u]      = less than so many units
        /ageM: > [n] [u]      = more than so many units
        /ageM: <= [n] [u]     = so many units or less
        /ageM: >= [n] [u]     = so many units or more
        /ageM: [min] - [max] [u] = from min to max units (both included)

      Unit selectors:
        y = year
        q = quarter of year
        m = month
        w = week (Monday - Sunday)
        d = day [default unit!]
        h = hour
        n = minute
        s = second
      
      Examples:
        /ageM: < 5 n    = modified less than 5 minutes ago
        /ageM: >= 3 h   = modified 3 or more hours ago
        /ageM: 1 w      = modified last week (previous Monday - Sunday)
        /ageM: 0 d      = modified today (from 00:00:00 till 23:59:59)
        /age:           = modified today (same as above, all defaults used)
        /ageM: 1 d      = modified yesterday
        /ageM: < 0 d    = modified in the future (tomorrow or later)
      
      Notes:
      - The Unit selectors must be separated from the unit number or 
        range by at least one space.
      - The Age selector is not case-sensitive: /AgEm: would work as 
        well.
      - /age: defaults to "Date Modified".
        
  +++ Configuration | Color Filters by Date: Now you can color items if 
      their filetimes match certain subranges, e.g. created from 8:00-
      10:00 in the morning, last modified on a weekend, last accessed in 
      an April (of any year).
      To achieve this a unit selector is prefixed to a number or range 
      (using the usual set of operators).

      Unit selectors:
        y = year
        q = quarter of year (1 - 4)
        m = month (1 - 12)
        dw = day of week (Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, etc.)
        dy = day of year (1st January = 1)
        d = day (of month)
        h = hour (0 - 23)
        n = minute (0 - 59)
        s = second (0 - 59)
        ms = millisecond (0 - 999)
      
      Examples:
        /dateC: h 8-10      = created from 8:00-10:00 (of any day)
        /dateM: m 4         = last modified in an April (of any year)
        /dateM: dw 6-0      = last modified on a weekend
        /dateC: dy 1-100    = created in the first 100 days (of any year)
        /dateC: q 3         = created in the 3rd quarter (of any year)
        
      Notes:
      - The Unit selectors must be separated from the unit number or 
        range by at least one space.
        
    + Configuration | Color Filters: Added a bunch of new operators that 
      work for all Size and Date filters: -<, >-, >, and ==.
      Examples for Size:
        /size: min - max    = from min to max (both inclusive)
        /size: min -< max   = from min to max (max exclusive)
        /size: min >- max   = from min to max (min exclusive)
        /size: min >< max   = from min to max (both exclusive)
        /size: == n         = exact (identical to the next example)
        /size: n            = exact

        /dateM: < [date]      = earlier than
        /dateM: > [date]      = later than
        /dateM: <= [date]     = same or earlier
        /dateM: >= [date]     = same or later
        /dateM: [date] - [date] = from earliest to latest (both inclusive)
        /dateM: [date] -      = same or later  (same as >= )
        /dateM: - [date]      = same or earlier  (same as <= )
      
      Examples:
        /dateC: < 2008.01.01              (all items created before 2008)
        /dateM: 2010.01.01 -              (all items modified 2010 and later)
        /dateM: 2010.11.14 - 2010.11.15   (all items modified 2010.11.14)
        /dateM: == 2010.11.16 10:30:12    (all items modified then)
        /dateA: >= 11.11.2010 11:11:11    (all items accessed in this Carnival)

      Notes:
      - The date has to be given in a form that is recognized as a valid 
        date format on your locale. The time part can be skipped in which 
        case it is internally set to 00:00:00.
      - The selector is not case-sensitive: /DaTem: would work as well.
        /date: = defaults to "Date Modified".
      - A trailing ";" is optional. Like with all color filters, ";" can 
        also be used to concatenate patterns assigned to the same colors.
      - These filters work for files and folders but only in the List 
        (not in the Tree).      
    * Color Filters: Now if you define a backcolor for a Color Filter, 
      the shape is drawn slightly different depending on the type of the 
      Color Filter (Name, Attribute, Size, Date), so that you can 
      immediately recognize which sort of filter made the match.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v9.70.0025 - 2010-11-16 20:25
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   hash
      Action: Creates hash of a string or file.
      Syntax: hash([algo=md5], [string], [flags])
        algo:     Hash algorithm; one of the following:
          md5:    [Default] MD5.
          sha1:   SHA-1.
          sha256: SHA-256.
                  NOTE: SHA-256 is NOT supported on all systems! It 
                  should work in Vista and higher.
        string:   Data or file to be hashed (see flags).
                  Defaults to current list file if flags AND 1.
        flags: (binary field)
          0: [default] String is data to hash.
          1: String is a file spec whose contents to hash.
        return:   Hash.          
      Notes:
      - The maximum supported size is 2GB data.
      - You cannot abort the process by ESC. XY will be blocked while 
        the process is running.
      - SC hash("md5" ...) is about 20 times faster than SC md5.  :)
      - SC md5 is kept for compatibility, and for systems where hash is 
        not supported (which might be the case on older Windows).
      Example:
        ::text hash("md5", ""); //d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
        ::text hash("sha1", ""); //da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
        ::text hash(,,1); //md5 of current list file
    ! List: Line numbers column of the inactive pane was not fully 
      painted when enabling dual pane. Fixed.

    + SC md5 enhanced: Now you can pass file names in place of the 
      string.
      Syntax: md5(string, [flags])
          flags: (binary field)
            0: string is data that will be md5-ed
            1: string is a file spec whose contents will be md5-ed
      Example:
        ::text md5("<xypath>\<xyexe>", 1);
    % MD5: The MD5 algorithm more than doubled its speed.
    * MD5: MD5 now can be escaped by press ESC. Hold down ESC until the 
      operation is aborted.
      Note that the maximum supported size for MD5 is 2GB data.
    ! Scripting: Unary operators + and - were not always parsed 
      correctly. Fixed. Now stuff like this works:
        ::echo 1 + --1; //2
        ::echo --(1 * ----2); //2
