+ Added INI Tweak to customize the title of the "Search results"
tab.
[General]
TermSearchResults=Search results
Now you can make it shorter and/or adapt it to your language.
! Fixed some glitches with the new layout.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0264 - 2009-05-13 13:04
*** DP Phase 1. Now the Tabs are only as wide as the List, and the
navigation pane (Tree/Catalog) touches the top bars (Address Bar,
Toolbar).
* Menu Window | Layout: Completely changed the commands:
- [Address Bar & Toolbar] (one row)
- [Toolbar & Address Bar] (one row)
- [Address Bar] [Toolbar] (two rows)
- [Toolbar] [Address Bar] (two rows)
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: exists
Action: Checks whether a file or directory exists.
Syntax: exists(item)
item: full path (local or UNC) to a file system item.
return: 0 = does not exist
1 = exists (file)
2 = exists (folder; drive; share; server)
Examples:
::echo exists("C:\*.bat"); //0 - wildcards are NOT recognized
::echo exists("C:\autoexec.bat"); //1
::echo exists("C:"); //2
::echo exists("C:\"); //2
::echo exists("C:\Windows"); //2
::echo exists("C:\Windows\"); //2
Remarks:
The API function used to determine the existence and nature of
the item is inherently tolerant with trailing spaces, and it
resolves relative syntax (\..\.. etc) before doing the check.
This was not my choice but there's no way to turn it off.
Some of those special cases:
::echo exists("C:\autoexec.bat "); //1
::echo exists("C:\autoexec.bat\.."); //2 (!)
::echo exists("XYplorer.exe"); //1 (!)
::echo exists("appdata"); //2 (!) - if folder "appdata" is below
the current path (= xypath)

v7.90.0261 - 2009-05-12 20:43
+ Menu View | Current Tab: Added command "Restore Last Closed Tab".
Will restore the tab that was last closed in the current session
(it's not remembered across sessions).
If you have closed a couple of tabs at once (using e.g. "Close All
Other Tabs...") then only the right-most one of them will be
restored.

v7.90.0260 - 2009-05-12 08:44
! Tabs: Flexible Width ignored any Visual Filters. Fixed.

v7.90.0257 - 2009-05-11 08:05
* List in Find mode, aka Search Results: Reallowed drag-n-drop into
the Search Results list. It had been disallowed years ago due to
difficult update issues in the Search Results list, but now it
looks like the difficulties are mastered and it all works alright.
* Scripting: SC Break & SC Continue: The "level" argument now
ignores IF blocks. So in the following example, the [break;]
command will move execution on to [echo "while done";], not just
to [echo "if done";]:
$i = 3;
while (1) {
$i--;
if ($i == 0) {
break; // = break 1: move on to [echo "while done"]
}
echo "if done";
}
echo "while done";
This is expected behavior for Break and Continue because it's the
standard in many programming languages.
! Scripting | While & If: Fixed a parsing bug concerning variables
in the expression part.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0256 - 2009-05-09 11:51
+ Now image preview and thumbnails also work for overlong filenames.
! Scripting: Parsing error when "else" was directly followed by "{",
as in:
if(true==0){msg'what!?';}else{msg'ok';}
Fixed.
* Scripting: Function Report() is now also implemented for "Network"
mode (list of servers and comments).
+ SC Report(): Added special field {Fullpath}.
- Field is set to the full path of the item.
- The returned path has no backslash.
- In Find mode, the return is identical to the field {Path}.
- In Drives mode, "MyComputer" (or so) is returned.
- In Network mode, "My Network Places" (or so) is returned.
Example:
::echo report("{fullpath}", 1); //shows selected items' paths
! SC Report(): Field {Path} returned a slashed path under certain
conditions. Fixed: Now it always returns an unslashed path.
+ New variable: <curitempath> = unslashed path of currently selected
and focused list item. Especially useful in Search Results with
subfolders included, because then it differs from the variable
<curpath>. Example:
::echo "<curitempath>";
Code: Select all
v7.90.0255 - 2009-05-08 08:50
+ Added tweak to use an alternative way to enumerate servers:
[Settings]
NSE101=1
Set to 1 to enter level 101. This might fix some rare issues with
certain network configurations.
To test it: ensure MiniTree is OFF, then select the nethood node
("My Network Places" or so) in the tree and press F4: this will
re-read the nethood afresh.
! Menu File | Delete (Skip Locked): Now correctly handles overlong
filenames and Unicode filenames. Before both had been treated as
"locked".
* Configuration | Tabs: Renamed "Flexible width for named tabs" to
"Flexible width" because it is not restricted to named tabs
anymore.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0254 - 2009-05-07 11:40
+++ Added basic support for overlong filenames (>= 260) chars.
The Windows Shell does not allow overlong filenames and Shell
functions (e.g. Copying, Moving) will fail with items having
overlong filenames. However, it is possible to create items with
overlong filenames under Windows, and with Explorer you are stuck
when meeting such item: You cannot delete, rename, or move it!
Consequently, also XYplorer will fail wherever it uses Shell
functions.
Now, however, there are a couple of XYplorer commands that work
independently of the Shell and do support overlong filenames up to
the limit set by NTFS (approx. 32767 chars):
- Properties (Info Panel)
- Raw View (Info Panel)
- readfile, writefile (Scripting commands)
- Quick File View (menu File)
- Inline Rename (Tree and List)
- Rename Special (menu File)
- Swap Names (menu File)
- Delete (No Recycler!): If you select exactly one file or folder,
then -- after the Shell failed -- you are prompted to delete the
item terminally.
Note that only *empty* folders can be deleted this way.
- All "Copy Here..." commands (menu File), BUT only for files, not
for folders.
- All Backup operations.
* Nethood: When enumerating servers, now the retrieved server names
are stripped of any embedded comments (which appears to be necessary
in some systems). A comment is recognized by a space followed by an
opening parenthesis.
"\\server (comment)" --> "\\server"

v7.90.0253 - 2009-05-06 22:56
* In version v5.00.0037 - 2006-07-05 18:34, I did this:
% Browsing "My Network Places": The servers listing in file view
now leaves the Comments column empty. Makes it much faster if
you have a lot of servers. I might make this configurable
later...
Now, 3 years later, I found a way to do it faster. So, server
comments are back in the list!
+ Added tweak to remove the icons (and the work of retrieving them)
from the Address Bar (and Go To, and FindFiles/Location):
[Settings]
NoIconsInDropDowns=1
I might make this an official setting in Configuration if more
than one user finds it useful...
! Tabs: Flexible Width did not work alright with Maximum Width = 0.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0251 - 2009-05-06 11:39
* Configuration | Tabs | Flexible width for named tabs: Now, it's
experimentally done for all tabs, not just named tabs. It might be
even good that way...
One difference remains: The named tabs continue to ignore the
user-defined max width for tabs, whereas the non-named tabs will
obey to it. Reason: Named tabs' captions should not be cropped.
* Address Bar: Now, experimentally, even fewer icons are retrieved
for network locations. Hunting a lag issue...
Code: Select all
v7.90.0250 - 2009-05-05 12:00
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
+++ Folder Thumbnails. Now, in Thumbnails view, folder icons display a
thumbnail of any file in the folder named "folder.jpg/png/gif", or
of the first found *.jpg image.
+++ X close buttons on tabs. Now the tabs optionally show X close
buttons.
+++ Scripting. Now the important control structures while loop and
if/elseif/else block are supported.
+++ Scripting. The new "rotate" command brings lossless rotation of
JPEG images to your home.
+++ Scripting. The new "tag" and "comment" commands join the powers of
scripting and Tags & Comments.
+++ Lots of network related performance improvements.
v7.90.0250 - 2009-05-05 12:00
* Updated the help file.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0164 - 2009-05-04 08:32
+ Configuration | Tabs: Added dropdown "Show X close buttons on
tabs" with options
- Never
- On Hover [factory default]
- Always
* Tweaks: Experimentally removed the tweak
[General]
GenericIconsForNetworkLocations=[0|1]
Now Configuration | Advanced | "Use generic icons for super-fast
browsing" (with or without "But only in network locations") is
used to the same effect.
! The tree did not mind the "Use generic icons for super-fast
browsing" setting consequently. Fixed. Will speed up startup in
certain constellations.
! List: When closing a search tab and with "Activate left tab on
closing current" ON, the List could get confused about modes.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0163 - 2009-05-02 20:47
! Tabs: User-defined action on dbl-click was temporarily
malfunctional. Fixed.
* Tabs: X button now pops sure?-prompt on locked, homed, and default
tabs.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0160 - 2009-05-02 13:53
+++ Tabs: Added X close button that shows on hovering the individual
tabs. Another revolutionary interface invention by XYplorer.
Note: Tabs smaller 80 pixels won't show the X button to prevent
unwanted closings.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0153 - 2009-05-01 15:25
% Address Bar: Improved performance when editing network paths
directly in the Address Bar. There had been delays due to attempts
to retrieve icons for non-existing/unavailable locations.
% Faster startup with tree or tabs pointing to non-
existing/unavailable shares.
* List: Restyled the "Currently no available" screen.
