v6.80.0028 - 2008-01-18 12:39
! Issue with Japanese (and probably other DBCS systems) when writing
and reading non-ASCII characters to/from the INI. Might be fixed.
+ Configuration | File Info Tips: added yet another extra field to
the bottom of the list: "Junction Target". Shows, what a surprise,
the target of NTFS junctions.

v6.80.0027 - 2008-01-17 11:25
* Changed handling of UNICODE strings in the INI file. Might solve a
related problem under some Windows locales.
* CKS dialog | menu captions: replaced " » " by ", " (as symbol for
the TAB character) because upper ASCII characters are not correctly
displayed in all Windows locales.
* Now, each finding (Search results) tab stores and remembers the
path it was pointing too before it was turned into a finding tab
(i.e. the current path in the moment you press F3). Now, when you
Refresh (F5) an unlocked finding tab, this stored path will be
used as current path when the tab returns to browsing mode.
Note that this change will be rarely notable when "Synchronize
tree with search location" (Config/General) is OFF. The
differences will surface, however, when the search location was
entered via the location combo (and differed from the current path
at that moment). The "Synchronize..." setting will point the tree
to the search location (or the *first* location in case of a
multi-location search), whereas F5 will point the tree to the
current path at the moment of the search.
I admit this is a bit confusing... it might be better to always
use the (first) search location and forget about the old current
path at all... time will show...
* Now, the default in MRU-based auto-completion of drop-downs is
"MatchAnywhere", before it was "MatchFromBeginning". Accordingly I
reversed the logic/semantic of the INI Tweak:
+ New INI Tweak. In the INI you'll find a new key:
[Settings]
AutoCompleteMatchFromBeginning=0
Set it to 1 to only count a match from the beginning (left end) of
the recently used strings. Else matching is counted anywhere in
the string.
! Could crash when pressing F5 on a search results tab while the
mouse hovered the path column header. Fixed.

v6.80.0026 - 2008-01-16 12:02
+ CKS | Options button context menu: added toggle command "Include
Command IDs". Check it to include command IDs in cheat sheets.
This setting is currently not saved in the INI. I'm not decided
yet about the best way to handle this.
! Raw View: fixed a bug concerning line wrapping and extracted text.
! Fixed a difficult bug concerning the wheel mouse support.
+ Added preview of *.m2v files (MPEG Video). As always: XY can play
it if WMP can play it.
Code: Select all
v6.80.0012 - 2008-01-12 09:55
+ Toolbar | Visual Filter: Added a Visual Filter MRU (last 10) to
the button's context menu. The items can be accelerator-selected by
pressing numbers 1 to 0 (zero).
Also ensured that the positions in MRU do not change when items
are selected from here (normally the selected item would shift to
the top of the list).
+ New INI Tweak. In the INI you'll find a new key:
[Settings]
AutoCompleteMatchAnywhere=0
Set it to 1 to count a match anywhere in the recently used
strings. Else matching is from start of the string.
Code: Select all
v6.80.0011 - 2008-01-11 10:01
+ Scripting: Added new command for easier switching of the stepwise
mode:
CKS | Miscellaneous | Scripting | Step Through Scripts
+ Toolbar: Added button "Step Through Scripts" pointing to the same
command as here above. If pressed, scripting is stepwise,
regardless of the presence of a "step" command in the script.
+ Catalog: Added an icon for scripts. It's not the usual choice
(lightnings, magic wands, script rolls) but something simpler with
more opto-power to make it really distinctive and stand-out.
! Scripting: Crashed on huge command IDs (overflow). Fixed.
! Scripting: Did try to process command IDs pointing to mere menu
separators. Fixed.
* Menu File | Copy/Move Here With [...]: Now, IF the target
directory is different from the source directory, AND the target
directory is the current one after the file operation is finished,
THEN the newly created target file is auto-selected.
Code: Select all
v6.80.0010 - 2008-01-10 21:12
!!! UDC: The command IDs were not stable after you deleted a UDC,
closed, and restarted the app. It was some stupid "optimization" in
writing udc.dat that made the IDs shift downwards into the holes
resulting from the deletion(s) instead of staying fixed.
This bug could get nasty only when you had keyboard shortcuts
assigned to UDCs (or recently with scripts calling commands by
ID). In the worst case a keyboard shortcut would trigger a UDC
function that you would not like be triggered in that moment.
Fixed.
! There were ways to crash the app by passing invalid command IDs
via a script. Fixed.
* WOW64 File System Redirection: Changed the command caption from
"Wow64 Redirection (64-bit)" to "WOW64 Redirection (64-bit only)".
Also reversed the logic in marking the state of affairs in the
titel bar. Before, if Redirection was disabled you got a "- [64]"
appended to the window title. Now, if Redirection is *enabled* you
get a " - [WOW64]" appended to the window title.

v6.80.0007 - 2008-01-10 11:24
+ Scripting: Added a way to step through a script command by
command, with an option to step out at each point. It's very easy
to do: Simply add the new script keyword "step" to your script,
and all following script commands will be presented stepwise. To
disable the stepping mode at any time in your script you can use
the new script keyword "unstep".
For example, the script
::step::#534::#1017::#222
will present you the following 3 commands step by step:
Go | Go to Application Folder
Miscellaneous | Focus Functions | Focus Tree
Edit | Backup To...
The script
::step::#534::#1017::unstep::#222
would present you only the following 2 commands:
Go | Go to Application Folder
Miscellaneous | Focus Functions | Focus Tree
+ Scripting: Now you can terminate a running script by pressing ESC.
The next to follow functions will not be executed anymore.
+ Menu View | Show Items: Added command "Wow64 Redirection (64-bit)".
It replaces the following command, respectively makes it more
visible:
- CKS | Miscellaneous | 64-bit | Toggle Wow64 File System
Redirection, which allows you to disable/re-enable Wow64 File
Redirection on 64-bit Windows.
The command is enabled only on 64-bit platforms.
* Copy/Move Here with Suffix Number: Now, a number is *always*
suffixed, even if there is no collision, in which case the suffixed
number is "-01" (or whatever format you configured suffixed numbers
to). Before, the filename was not altered when there was no
collision in the target path.

v6.80.0006 - 2008-01-07 11:05
+++ Scripting, part 2: You can concatenate any number of command IDs!
General syntax:
::#[ID]::#[ID]::#[ID]::#[ID] ... etc.
For example:
::#559::#250::#171
will
- Go to the Temporary Internet Files folder
- Select All
- Delete (Skip Locked)
!!! However, here comes a serious WARNING!!! Scripting is an
advanced hardcore feature, and the above example is a good one to
show you why. If the Temp folder cannot be shown (e.g., because
you opted to not show hidden items), then the script will happily
go on with the next commands (select all and delete) IN THE FOLDER
YOU END UP IN *instead* of the Temp folder! So, do not expect any
smart checking here, scripting (at least this calling commands by
ID) is as if you press a serious of buttons without looking. It's
a stupid robot pressing buttons! Take care...
Another thing to watch is recursion: If you create a "Go to"-UDC
that calls itself, then don't blame me! :)
* Configuration dialog: Heavily re-arranged the first two sections.
Spare me a detailed explanation, but I'm sure it is better now than
before.
* Configuration | Advanced: Added option "Enable scripting".
Scripting is potentially dangerous since you could you inadvertently
enter "::#[ID of nuke command]" into the Address Bar and then wonder
where your files are gone. So as a security measurement I force you
to actively enable scripting.
* CKS dialog: Renamed button "Free Shortcuts..." to "All Free
Shortcuts..." because the former caption was ambiguous and could be
read as "Free All Shortcuts!".
* Copy/Move Here To New Subfolder: Now, the new folder is auto-
selected if it is contained in the current file list. Before, all
selections had been removed.
! You could not select a file in the list by clicking on the icon
left of the file name when "Details with Thumbnails" View was
active. Fixed.

v6.80.0005 - 2008-01-06 10:28
+++ Here is Scripting! Scripting is a long way to go, but today we
take the first step and it already takes us into a powerful
position: Now, you can call commands by their internal number,
their ID!!!
The syntax is like this:
::#[ID]
The first part, ::, is the general script marker. The second part,
#, is the keyword for calling commands by number. The third part,
[ID], is the number.
For example:
::#571
will call command number 571, which happens to be the command
added in the paragraph here below (go to the Temporary Internet
Files folder).
These commands are internally treated as locations! So, simply
paste ::#571 into the Address Bar (Catalog, Favorites, etc.) and
"go to it".
Now, how to find out the command IDs? Very easy: they are now
displayed in the CKS dialog (which contains all commands
available), above the Description box.
What's so great about this? Well, for example, now you can have
your UDCs in the Catalog and trigger them from there!
+ Menu Favorites | Special System Folders: added command "Temporary
Internet Files" (or whatever this folder is called on your
system/language).
+ Now, "MyComputer", "Desktop", and "MyDocuments" (or whatever they
are called on your system/language) can be passed as command line
parameters to control the startup path.
XYplorer.exe "MyComputer" = open XYplorer at drives listing
XYplorer MyComputer = (same)
XYplorer Desktop = open XYplorer at Desktop folder
! List: Display of thumbnails was not always correctly adjusted on
on-the-fly changes of views or thumbnail dimensions. Fixed.

v6.70.0012 - 2008-01-03 11:08
+ New INI Tweak. In the INI you'll find a new key:
[Settings]
iUDCNoMenuIcons=0
Set it to 1 to suppress UDC menu icons.
* Menu User | Goto: Items that trigger a search now show the typical
"Find" icon.
! Tree/List: Status bar description for context menu submenu items
was missing. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v6.70.0011 - 2008-01-02 12:29
+ Media Preview: Added *.m4a (MPEG-4) format.
! MP3 preview: Fixed an error in the song length calculation of some
songs.
! MP3 preview: Fixed another very small but real rounding error in
the song length calculation of all songs
! MP4 preview: Now, audio information is displayed for MP4 audios.
* Rewrote tooltips for the Catalog. Now they throw a shadow and
position correctly in a dual monitors setup.
Code: Select all
v6.70.0007 - 2007-12-29 10:12
! Cut (Ctrl+X) refused to work when Tree was focused. Fixed.
! Find Files: if you had OR-combined patterns by ";" and at the
same time blanks in the search term, you would not get the
expected results. Fixed.
! Drop-down lists: Fixed some issues with the auto-complete list,
including a crash under certain circumstances.
Code: Select all
v6.70.0005 - 2007-12-22 20:36
+ List: added functionality to jump to the target of *.LNK files
(aka Shortcuts). You find it in the context menu of List items (if
the focused item is a shortcut). The target is displayed in the
status bar when hovering the menu command.
You also find a new command in CKS | Miscellaneous | Go To: Go to
Shortcut Target.
+ Configuration | File Info Tips: added yet another extra field to
the bottom of the list: "Target". Shows the target of *.LNK files
(aka Shortcuts).
+ Catalog: now when expanding a Category node, the Catalog is auto-
scrolled to a position where as many childs as possible of that
Category are visible.
! Info Panel | Find Files | Excluded Folders: the Excluded Folders
list was not fully displayed on startup under certain
circumstances since a couple of weeks. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v6.70.0003 - 2007-12-21 10:10
+++ Now you can drag-drop items onto *.LNK files (aka Shortcuts) in
List and Catalog. A drop is allowed if the LNK target is a folder
or a file that accepts dropping (EXE, BAT, CMD, ZIP, etc.).
