v7.90.0026 - 2009-01-04 23:00
! Crash when a large scrolled down file list was redrawn to a
smaller (but > 0) list (after moving or deleting files). Fixed.

v7.90.0024 - 2009-01-02 15:18
* SC run enhanced: Added parameter directory.
Syntax: run command, [directory], [wait=0]
command: module name plus (optionally) arguments
module names containing blanks must be quoted
[directory]: working directory, allows you to skip the path in
command; defaults to current path
[wait]:
0 = [default] return immediately and continue the script
1 = only continue when the shelled process has finished
Examples:
::run "ReadmeXY.txt", "C:\Programme\XYplorer\";
::run "notepad Edit.txt",,1; //open Edit.txt using notepad _
in current path
Code: Select all
v7.90.0023 - 2008-12-30 20:54
* SC run: Now there's a modal dialog while the shelled process is
being active. It blocks you from doing anything but wait or cancel
the waiting and continue with the script.
! Scripting: Parsing multiline scripts still went wrong where TABs
were used in place of spaces. Fixed. Now all TABs outside single or
double quotes are replaced by spaces.
* Info Panel: Changed "apply" icon for time-stamping from green
cross to green tick.
* Updated the help file.

v7.90.0022 - 2008-12-30 12:15
* SC run experimentally enhanced:
Syntax: run command, [wait=0]
command: module name plus (optionally) arguments
module names containing blanks must be quoted
wait:
0 = return immediately and continue the script
1 = only continue when the shelled process has finished
Examples:
::run '"C:\Programme\WinZip\WINZIP32.EXE" -min', 1;
msg "Done!"; //shows "Done!" when WinZip is closed
::run "notepad C:\Programme\XYplorer\ReadmeXY.txt", 1;
msg "Done!" //shows "Done!" when notepad is closed
Notes
~~~~~
Contrary to using "run" with wait=0, wait=1 is not fully identical
to the Windows Run command: Not all sorts of commands work, there
is less smartness built in.
For example, you cannot call documents that will be opened by the
associated application. This will NOT work:
::run "C:\Programme\XYplorer\ReadmeXY.txt", 1; //NO JOY
You also canNOT use short forms like this:
::run winzip, 1; //NO JOY
However this works (don't know why, maybe because it's in the path):
::run notepad, 1; //OKAY
! Catalog: Drag'n'Drop got a bit confused when you stated paths with
wrong capitalization (which under Windows should not matter).
Fixed.
! Scripting: Parsing multiline scripts went wrong when lines began
with a mix of TABs and spaces. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0021 - 2008-12-29 11:30
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: StrRepeat
Action: Repeats a string
Syntax: strrepeat(string, count)
string: string to be repeated
count: number of repetitions
return: repeated string
Example:
echo strrepeat("abc", 2); //abcabc
* SC loadtree: Now the pathlist parameter is optional and defaults
to the current path if missing.
Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify=0]
! Crash when selecting EXE with malformed version info. Fixed.
! Find Files tab: Location box showed Visual Filter overlay when
multiple locations were separated by "|". Fixed.
! Tree folder context menu: "Create New Subfolder here" did enter
rename mode for the wrong folder when tree was locked. Fixed. No
rename mode is entered in tree since the new folder is not part of
the locked tree.
! Folder View Settings: Auto-changed default FV wasn't updated after
changing list modes. Fixed.
! Scripting: When parsing multiline scripts, all Tab chars were
replaced by two spaces. Fixed.
! CKS dialog: "Copy Cheat Sheet" using "Scope" created a messed up
layout because "Triggered on KeyDown" was printed on a new line.
Fixed.

v7.90.0019 - 2008-12-23 15:08
* SC rename: Now, when you cancel the operation and it's the last
line in the script you get no more "error" message about "Rename
failed or was cancelled".

v7.90.0018 - 2008-12-22 15:45
+ Media Preview: Added minimal media control buttons. Both "Play"
and "Pause" have identical functionality, namely toggle Play /
Pause, with inverse pressed-states. "Stop" rewinds to beginning
and stops there.
* Media Preview: Swapped buttons' functionality when clicking
progress bar. Now you *Left*-click to seek a new position (which
is the expected behavior), and you *Right*-click to play/pause.
! Media Preview: Fixed some glitches with Audio-CD playing.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0017 - 2008-12-21 22:04
+ Media Preview: Now the progress bar's tooltip shows the timeline
position of the cursor.
+ Media Preview: Added keyboard-driven backwind and forewind. Works
in paused and running mode, on audio and video.
Left: Frame step backward (Audio: 100 msec backward)
Right: Frame step forward (Audio: 100 msec forward)
Shift+Left: 1 sec backward
Shift+Right: 1 sec forward
! Media Preview: Rounding error in frames per second calculation let
to one-off under certain circumstances. E.g. the typical FLV video
file has 25 fps but XY showed only 24 fps. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0016 - 2008-12-20 17:36
+ Media Preview: Added a way to repeat any particular section of the
medium (audio or video), aka "A-B repeat". Looping must be enabled
(tick "Play Again") to make it happen. The section is defined by
clicking anywhere (no matter where) on the progress bar while the
medium is previewed (no matter whether running or paused):
Ctrl+LeftClick: Set start of section to now
Ctrl+RightClick: Set end of section to now
Ctrl+Alt+Click: Unset any section
If a section start is defined then "Go To Beginning" (Shift+Space,
or Shift+Click) will go to the beginning of the section.
There is no visual marking of the section, so this is a low-
comfort / low-documentation feature for the time being. But it
works okay and can be useful.
The section is auto-unset when you preview the next file.

v7.90.0015 - 2008-12-20 10:44
+ Spot now supports an unlimited number of strings, separated by |
(pipe). Four predefined colors are rotated.
For example:
>7.|xy|2008| |-|~
Code: Select all
v7.90.0012 - 2008-12-19 17:55
+ Added "Spot" (working title): A new highlighting feature inspired
by the Google Toolbar and the Firefox Searchbar. For the time
being it has no separate GUI but can be invoked via the Address
Bar (or any of the other location interfaces). Simply type in a
string prefixed with ">" and press Enter. The string will be
highlighted in the file list wherever it's found (case-
insensitive: a=A).
For example:
>p [Enter] = highlight all letters "p" and "P"
To turn it off again type a single ">":
> [Enter]
The highlighting is not retained across sessions.

v7.90.0010 - 2008-12-18 21:14
! Favorite Folders: A favorite like this
"Append modified date" ::rename "b", "*-<datem yyyymmdd>"
lost its outer quotes across sessions. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v7.90.0008 - 2008-12-18 13:55
+ Added new file type to the set of previewed Web & Office formats:
*.xps XML Paper Specification
aka "Microsoft's PDF competitor"
XPS files can be previewed only if your system supports it. For
example to enable XPS support on Windows XP SP3, you can install
the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. There are other ways, too.
! Various controls (Tree, List, Catalog, Tabs) allowed dbl-clicks
from other than the left mouse button to be processed as dbl-
clicks. Fixed: Now only left-button dbl-clicks count as dbl-
clicks.
! Mini Tree: With Mini Tree enabled, passing the startpath via
command line didn't work, nor did setting a permanent startpath.
Both fixed.

v7.90.0006 - 2008-12-17 15:16
! Find Files: "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM) -- AND-combining patterns
using " " (space) in Standard Mode -- did not work as expected
when the patterns contained certain words or characters that are
used in Boolean search patterns, e.g. " and ", " or ", " & ", or
"(". Fixed.
BTW, note that OR-combining patterns (using ";") has precedence
over LBM, so the following search term (in Standard Mode)
a;b c
is interpreted as
"*a*" OR "*b c*"
and not as
"*a;b*" AND "*c*"
* Find Files | "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM): in v5.50.0008 (2007-01-
06 12:26) a feature was added where you could invert/negate the
individual arguments of the LBM search term:
Desktop?a b !c Find all items that contain the characters
a and b, but not c in their name.
This is not supported anymore! To achieve this you should use the
full Boolean syntax instead:
Desktop?:a & b & !c
What you still can do is invert the *whole* LBM expression by
prefixing a "!":
Desktop?!a b c Find all items that do not contain the
characters a and b and c in their name.
! List: Since about 3 weeks ago, XY reported drives as "currently
not available" when they were in fact just empty. Fixed.

v7.90.0005 - 2008-12-16 12:32
+ Outlook Drop: Now dropping messages in Hebrew and Arabic is
supported (codepages Windows-1255 and Windows-1256).
! Mini Tree: Fixed some glitches with the locked Mini Tree where
folders were automatically added (which should never happen on a
locked tree).
