Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v6.80.0012, 12-jan-2008).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

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.

Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

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.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v6.80.0010, 10-jan-2008).

  !!! 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.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v6.80.0007, 10-jan-2008).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each about 1 MB).

Code: Select all

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.

  +++ 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.

  +++ 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.

    + 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

      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.

      selected items to clipboard.
      If focus is on Tree, it works identical to Copy Name(s).
    + Toolbar: added button "Go to Previous Location". Has a context menu.
    ! If you chose "Configure Thumbnails" from the context menu of the 
      Views toolbar button, the configuration window opened with the wrong 
      category - "File Info Tips" instead of "Thumbnails". Fixed.
    * Tree and List, item selection by keyboard: raised the max interval 
      to interpret two consecutive keystrokes as belonging to one string 
      from 750 to 1000 msec.
    * UDC | New: exchanged the term "Clone" with "Source".

      holding CTRL when pressing "New" or by pressing Ctrl+Ins.
      If the current command has a caption, then the new command's 
      caption will have "(Copy)" suffixed.
