Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0117, 11-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0117 - 2009-02-11 12:49
    + Added tweak to define a hotkey to show (restore, foreground) the 
      application when it's in the background, minimized to taskbar, or 
      minimized to tray.
        [Settings]
        HotKeyShowApp=X
      Set to one character (A-Z, 0-9). The character/key will be used 
      together with "Win"-key, so the above example would create the 
      hotkey Win+X to show XY.
      Note that such a hotkey does not change your system or registry. 
      It is active only as long as XYplorer is loaded.
      If more than one XYplorer instance using the same hotkey is loaded 
      then only the first loaded one receives the hotkey. Even if it is 
      unloaded later, no other still loaded instance will respond to the 
      hotkey.

Code: Select all

v7.90.0116 - 2009-02-10 21:45
    ! SC md5: Had a problem (at least under some locales) with certain 
      input characters (e.g. ANSI 138 = Š) because of inherent codepage 
      related conversions. As a result md5() calculations of binary 
      files were likely to return wrong results. Fixed.
      En passant md5 got a tad faster.
    * Cycling tabs in recently used order: Now, when you are on the most 
      recent tab, Ctrl+Tab will not wrap around anymore but go backward. 
      This allows you to jump back and forth between the 2 most recent 
      tabs with one key combination.
    ! Fixed recent issues related to the /win switch changes in 
      v7.90.0107.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0107, 09-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0107 - 2009-02-09 14:43
    * File Find: Now by default Junctions are NOT recursed on a 
      recursive File Find (when "Include subfolders" is ticked). To 
      enable recursing Junctions see the tweak below.
    + Added tweak to allow recursing Junctions on a File Find:
        [Settings]
        FindFollowJunctions=1
      Set to 1 to recurse Junctions. On demand I will raise this tweak 
      to config level.
    * Configuration | Tabs: Now with "Activate left tab on closing 
      current" AND "Cycle tabs in recently used order" both enabled, the 
      *previously used tab* is auto-selected on closing the current tab.
    * Menu Go | Drives...: Now only existing drives are shown in the 
      popup. Empty removable and unaccessible network drives are skipped.
    ! Cycling tabs in recently used order could get slightly confused 
      after tabs were removed. Fixed.
    * Startup: Before, if called with /ini or /win switch a 2nd instance 
      was loaded always (regardless of any settings concerning this). 
      Now, this is true only for /ini. So now you can run XY with the 
      /win switch and still reuse any existing instance (of course, the 
      /win switch is ignored then).
    ! PFA: Little glitch with quotes in definitions. Now you can do 
      things like this and it works as expected:
      |\>"C:\Programme\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" "<item1>" "<clipboard>"

    + Tree: Now you can freely (in one-pixel steps between a lower and 
      an upper limit) change the node indent using Shift+MouseWheel over 
      the Tree.
        Shift+MouseWheel Up (away from you):  decrease indent
        Shift+MouseWheel Down (towards you):  increase indent
      In Tree style "Narrow Tree" the setting is ignored.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0105, 06-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0105 - 2009-02-06 11:39
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Cycle tabs in recently used 
      order". Enable it to cycle the tabs based on the usage sequence 
      (aka MRU) instead of the left-to-right position.
      The cycle functions are these:
        Miscellaneous / Tab Functions /
          Cycle Tabs Backward:  Ctrl+Shift+Tab; MouseWheel Up
          Cycle Tabs Forward:   Ctrl+Tab;       MouseWheel Down
          Cycle Tabs Backward, Delay Browsing:  Ctrl+PageUp
          Cycle Tabs Forward, Delay Browsing:   Ctrl+PageDown
      Note that going by MRU has the usual "history" logic: If you go 
      backward from A to B, then to return to A you have to go *forward* 
      (not backward again).
    + SC seltab enhanced: Added argument mru.
      Syntax: seltab [position], [mru]
        mru:  0 = left-right-order
              1 = recently used order
              only applied if position is relative: "+" or "-"
      Examples:
        ::seltab "+", 1 = select the next tab, use MRU
        ::seltab "-", 1 = select the previous tab, use MRU
    ! Tags: Database was not correctly updated with partially completed 
      file operations, i.e. when you aborted the process at some point. 
      Fixed.
    ! Since 2009-01-27 the app would easily crash when sorting 
      Search Results by Path AND "Show relative path in search results" 
      was enabled. Fixed.
    ! FVS and Locked tabs: If the Default tab was auto-selected due to 
      the locked condition of the current tab it did not receive the FVS 
      style of its location instead of the tab's stored style. However, in 
      case of the Default tab the folder style should overwrite the tab 
      style. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v7.90.0102 - 2009-02-05 10:21
    * SC loadtree: Now only existing paths are accepted in the pathlist 
      argument, but any existing *files* at the end of the paths are 
      ignored.
    * Configuration | Tags: Now you cannot move the list positions of 
      the tag schemes anymore. Also deletion works only on the last item 
      of the list. This way the index order of the existing tags is 
      always maintained.
    + Added tweak to generally force generic icons for network locations 
      anywhere in the interface:
        [Settings]
        GenericIconsForNetworkLocations=1
      While aesthetically not very satisfying, this will improve 
      performance for users that often have tabs or UDCs pointing to 
      unavailable network locations.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v7.90.0101, 04-feb-2009).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v7.90.0101 - 2009-02-04 10:38
    * Column-Click Tagging: Now, when using the right button, there's a 
      temporary focus rect marking the field about to be set.
    * Tabs: Slight change in icon retrieval for tabs pointing to network 
      locations. Might speed it up for unavailable network locations.
    * HTML preview: If you attempt to close the preview window using 
      JavaScript "window.close();" you will be stopped and see the 
      message: "Closing the preview window is not allowed."
    ! FVS and Locked tabs: A tab that was auto-selected due to the 
      locked condition of the current tab received the FVS style of its 
      location instead of the tab's stored style, so the rule "tab style 
      overwrites FVS style" was broken. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v7.90.0100 - 2009-02-02 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ Tags and Comments. Now you can assign tags and comments to your 
      files and folders.
  +++ Visual Filters. Now you can define any filter to apply only to 
      files yet show or hide all folders.
  +++ Scripting. Now the so-called Heredoc syntax is supported.

v7.90.0100 - 2009-02-02 12:00
    + Added tweak to fix, or rather workaround, a strange caret position 
      error in Tree/List inline rename with Unicode characters, aka 
      "Chinese odd thing".
        [General]
        FixOddThing=1
      Note that with this workaround you may notice a horizontal 
      misalignment of text when pasting into inline rename boxes. It's 
      harmless but cosmetically unsatisfying.

      versions ago. Fixed.

    * SC report: Now field {fullname} returns just "C:" for drive C: 
      (etc.), i.e. a usable path spec. Before it returned an unusable 
      combination of MyComputer and the drive's caption.
    ! SC delete: Did not delete items (in itemlist) containing 
      wildcards anymore. Fixed.
      Delete all INI and BAK files in E:\Folder:
        delete 1, 1, "E:\Folder\*.tmp | E:\Folder\*.bak";

        !\|a*   -> Hide all folders and show only files with a*
        !\|*    -> Hide all folders and show all files

      folders yet show all files. Simply prefix "*|" to the pattern. For 
      example, to show only folders beginning with "a" and all files:
        *|a*
      To show all files but no folders:
        *|!*
    * Updated the help file.

Code: Select all

v7.90.0082 - 2009-01-29 21:29
    + SC report(): Now supports Tags & Comments. Browse and Find mode 
      support the fields {Tag} and {Comment}.
      There's an additional Special Field {TagID} which is obviously set 
      to the item's Tag ID. If the item has a comment but no color tag 
      assigned {TagID} returns "0"; if the item is not tagged at all 
      {TagID} returns "".
      Example:
        ::text report("{name}, {tag} (ID={tagID}), {comment}<crlf>");
    * File Tags: The database accepts Tag IDs not only from 0 to 15 but 
      from -2147483648 to 2147483647. You can already set these IDs 
      manually (but forget names and colors! -- anything beyond #15 is 
      just numbers for the time being); they will be shown in the Tag 
      column as 3-digit (for better sorting, and tribute to James Bond) 
      numbers and can be used for sorting (and later for VFOs).
    ! List | Comment Column: Item "Last Comment" would break menu layout 
      when the last comment contained commas. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Version: Fixed an issue with corrupt version info. 
      Now even a corrupt version info can be displayed (thanks to a 
      smart workaround) and you get no crash when even the workaround 
      doesn't work.

    * Info Panel | Version: Now you get more information when/why 
      no version info is shown.
      - "No version info."
        File type has no version info.
      - "Version info not found."
        File type can have a version info but this file has not.
      - "Version info corrupt."
        File has a version info but it is corrupt.
    ! Configuration | Tags: When cancelling the config dialog after 
      using any of the buttons on the Tag page, any color schemes above 
      #8 were lost. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Tags: Added button "Tag Check Up...". Helps you 
      keep your tag database fast, tight, and tidy.
    ! Unfortunate toolbar action could lead to crash since v7.90.0079. 
      Fixed.
    * Tags: Max number raised to 16 (incl. "None"). So, additionally to 
      the 7 predefined color schemes (plus non-editable scheme "None"), 
      you can add another 8 schemes.
    * Tags: Renamed Violet to Purple, and changed the color a bit.
