v8.60.0108 - 2009-11-19 11:13
*** Help: Now in CHM (Compiled HTML Help) format.
* Find Files: Instead of "comment:" you can now alternatively prefix
"cmt:" to your comment-searching search term. Save the atmosphere.
+ Support for horizontal mouse wheel. Part 2.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0107 - 2009-11-17 10:34
+++ Find Files: The Name field now supports comparison operators! This
means you can e.g. list all files from A to M.
< Less than
> Greater than
<= Less than or equal to
>= Greater than or equal to
The operators must be surrounded by spaces and are prefixed to the
patterns.
When strings are compared it's about alphabetical order:
- Find all files before "m":
Name: < m
- Find all files from "d.txt" and through "m.txt"
Name: : >= d.txt AND < m.txt
Watch the double space after AND: " AND " must be surrounded by
spaces as well!
The leading ":" is the inline Boolean marker.
When numbers are compared it's about numerical values.
- Find all items whose full name is longer than 100 characters:
Name: len: > 100
(see next paragraph)
Notes
~~~~~
- Patterns with comparison operators should not contain wildcards;
they make no sense here anyway and will just be treated as
characters "*" and "?" in the comparison.
- The settings "Whole words" and "Fuzzy" are ignored with patterns
using comparison operators.
But, of course, the settings are applied with non-comparison-
patterns. E.g., with "Whole words" enabled, the following term
will match "a d.txt" but not "ad.txt", and not "d a.txt"
(because it's > c.txt):
Name: :a AND < c.txt
In words: Find all items, that contain "a" as a whole word, and
are alphabetically sorted before "c.txt".
- It does not make sense to combine comparison operators with RegExp
patterns; the RegExp will not be analyzed but simply be used as a
string in the comparison.
+ Find Files: Now you can search by the length of an item name.
Simply prefix "len:" to the search term in the name field.
- Find all items whose full name is longer than 260 characters:
Name: len: > 260
Code: Select all
v8.60.0106 - 2009-11-16 21:07
+++ Find Files: Now you can directly search for Tags and Comments!
Simply prefix "tag:" or "comment:" (case does not matter) to the
search term in the name field, and the whole term is matched
against the tag respectively comment of each file instead of
against the name.
All other things work as usual, including Boolean and RegExp
search.
Examples:
- tag:"red" //find all items with tag "red"
- tag:!"red" //find all items with no tag "red"
- tag::"red" or "green" //with tag "red" or "green"
the second ":" after "tag:" is the inline Boolean search marker
- tag:"red";"green" //same using "Loose Boolean Match" syntax
- tag:r //find all items with "r" in the tag
- comment:2009;2008 //with 2008 or 2009 in the comment field
employing the "Loose Boolean Match" syntax with ";" separator
Note that also Quick Name Search supports the new syntax, for
example:
E:\Test\?tag:"blue";"red"
+++ Find Files: Now you can directly search for the extended
properties of file items, as also known from the File Info Tips.
Their names and indices vary strongly between different Windows
versions. A list is available in Configuration | File Info Tips.
The syntax is like above with "tag:" or "comment:", only with yet
another field for the actual property. To identify properties by
their index prefix "#" to the number.
Examples:
- prop:fileversion:8.60 //find all items with version *8.60*
- prop:fileversion:"8.60" // with version 8.60
- prop:#8:Donald // with owner *Donald*
- prop:#26:"1024 x 768" // with dimensions "1024 x 768"
NOTE: While this new feature adds enormous power to XY's file
search, it is not extremely fast because retrieving extended
properties via the shell is rather slow.
+ Support for horizontal mouse wheel.

v8.60.0105 - 2009-11-14 12:43
+ SC backupto enhanced:
Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision], _
[preserve_dates], [create_log]
preserve_dates:
(only applied if the file itself is copied)
Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
0 = Whether/which dates are copied depends on OS.
1 = All three dates are copied.
create_log:
Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
0 = Don't.
1 = Do.
Example:
// backup selected items; on collision suffix date now;
// preserve dates; create log
backupto "E:\Test", , 5, 1, 1;
* Configuration | Backup & Report: Changed order of items.
! Configuration | Backup & Report | Preserve item dates: The
setting was not yet actually implemented, whoops. Fixed.
* Tabs: Now wheeling the tabs, either scroll thru tabs (Wheel) or
move tabs (Shift+Wheel), will not wrap around the edges anymore.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0104 - 2009-11-13 13:00
+ Configuration | Backup & Report | On name collision: Added a
further option called "Overwrite never". Copies only files that
don't exist in the destination, otherwise does nothing.
+ SC backupto enhanced: Now you can set the behavior on collision
right in the call.
Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision]
on_collision:
0 = [Default] Use global setting from Configuration | Backup &
Report | On name collision
1 = Overwrite only older files
2 = Overwrite always
3 = Overwrite never
4 = Suffix number
5 = Suffix date now
6 = Suffix date modified
Examples:
// backup selected items; on collision suffix date now
backupto "E:\Test", , 5;
// backup selected items; on collision do what's stated in
// Configuration | Backup & Report | On name collision
backupto "E:\Test";
! Wheel: Several wheel driven operations had reversed the expected
direction after adding support for high-resolution mouse wheel
recently. Fixed.
! Enhanced drag'n'drop crashed on any OS < XP. Fixed: No more
(attempted) enhanced drag'n'drop on any OS < XP.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0102 - 2009-11-12 20:05
+ Configuration | Backup & Report: Backup operations enhanced by
adding two configuration options:
- Preserve item dates: Here you can decide whether the three item
dates (created, modified, accessed) are preserved with the copy.
Before, it was hard-coded to YES (preserve).
- On name collision: Here you can configure what happens on a name
collision. Before, there was only one hard-coded option:
overwrite if target is older than source. Now you have the
choice between five options:
* Overwrite only older files [factory default]
(do nothing if the target file is same age or younger)
* Overwrite always
* Suffix number
* Suffix date now
* Suffix date modified
This means you now have the popular copy-avec-rename-on-
collision in XYplorer!
* Configuration: Renamed page "Reporting" to "Backup & Report".

v8.60.0008 - 2009-11-11 10:14
+ Info Panel | Preview: Added "Zoom smaller originals to fit preview
area" to the preview panel's orange-icon-menu for video files.
* List: Now auto-refresh is suspended while you are drawing a
selection box on the list.
* Menu Go | Go to from Here: Now supports relative paths. They are
resolved relative to the current path (whereas in the normal "Go
to" and Address Bar they are resolved relative to app path).
! Tree: Glitch when drag-moving the current folder into a non-
expanded folder. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0007 - 2009-11-10 15:19
+ Tree: Now also supports the better dragging (see v8.60.0006).
* Undo/Redo: Improved refreshing of Tree within special folders.
! Action Log, Toolbar Undo Menu: Misleading captions when an action
was triggered off the current path, e.g. by using a script. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0006 - 2009-11-09 22:17
+ Now you can right-drag items to the outside and get the context
menu you expect to see, including "Create Shortcut(s) Here" and
other stuff depending on the dragged items. The probably biggest
and oldest mystery in the history of XY development looks like
solved. Holy Dragon Drop!
Code: Select all
v8.60.0005 - 2009-11-08 12:54
+ Configuration | File Info Tips: Added option "Show custom file
info tips". Before, this option was implicitly ON always. Now it's
by factory default OFF. Having it OFF will show the default file
info tips, which are exactly the ones you would see if you used
Windows Explorer. This has a couple of advantages:
- You can see specific 3rd party extensions of the file info tips
(e.g. by MediaInfo) which are not shown in XYplorer when you
turn "Show custom file info tips" ON.
- Using the default tip (and with "Show MP3 info tips" OFF), you
can now see the ID3v2 (XY internally only supports ID3v1) info
of mp3 files in the file info tip if your shell/OS supports it.
* Configuration | File Info Tips: Increased the number of items in
the "custom file info tips" list, depending on OS:
Under Vista/Win7 you will have 267 different fields now, and under
XP or lower 41 different fields.
Also the indices, starting with 0 (zero), are now shown in the
list. You can use these indices with SC property() in scripts
like:
msg property("#2"); //type of current item
* Configuration | File Info Tips: The XYplorer-only "extra fields"
are now listed in a separate list.
! Toolbar | Undo, Action Log: Could crash on certain filenames
because of a buggy ellipse routine working on trimming the
captions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0003 - 2009-11-07 11:19
+ Color Filters: Added "Junction" to the factory default color
filters.
! Action Log: Captions had empty strings when actions were done on
search results. Fixed.
! Undo/Redo: Tree was not always correctly updated in the special
folders section. Fixed.
! Tabs: Selecting a Search Results tab so that the mouse pointer
ended up right on the X close button could under certain
conditions lead to closing that tab when releasing the mouse
button. Fixed.
! Scripting: Things like ::html("<curitem>"); did not work anymore
since v8.60.0002. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0002 - 2009-11-05 12:04
+ List Context Menu: Added special functionality to the context menu
of Junctions. You now have these extra commands:
Go to Junction Target
Copy Junction Target Name
* Menu File | Settings | Save All Settings: Now this command,
besides saving all your settings, also writes the current Action
Log from memory to disk (to file "action.dat") if "Remember the
logged actions between sessions" is ON.
Note that the Action Log is always saved on exit if (and only if)
"Remember the logged actions between sessions" is ON (even if
"Save settings on exit" is off).
* Search Results: Now right-clicking multiple items in a recursive
(= include subfolders) search results listing will pop the Shell
context menu only if those items are located in the same folder.
Otherwise a shorter replacement menu is shown.
Reason: The Shell commands simply do not work correctly for
multiple items in different locations.
! Crash when the Edit Text font defined in configuration was not
existing on the system. Fixed.
! List: After dragging a subfolder of the current folder Tree-to-
Tree the List was not updated (the subfolder did not disappear
from the list). Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.60.0000 - 2009-11-03 12:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
+++ Multi-Level Undo/Redo. Now you can undo/redo the file operations
Move, Copy, Rename, Delete, and New.
+++ Action Log. Now you get a detailed log about what you have done
and when, optionally remembered across sessions so you can finally
find out what you did yesterday.
+++ Wheel. Support for high-resolution mouse wheel.
+++ Memory. Further reduced memory usage.
Code: Select all
v8.50.0039 - 2009-11-02 22:26
! Crash when dismounting TrueCrypt drives. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v8.50.0037 - 2009-11-02 12:56
+ SC getinfo "username" now supports Unicode names.
* Updated the help file.
