! Renaming under Chinese Windows lost some characters when opening
the rename box. Fixed?
! With Autosize Columns enabled, the extension column was not
autosized after a rename. Fixed.

v6.10.0066 - 24.07.07 14:02
+ Find Files: now you can easily switch between modes via a new "Mode:"
dropdown list, located directly below the "Name:" dropdown list.
Just to make sure: "Mode" refers to the way the search pattern
("Name") is interpreted. For example, in "Boolean" mode the
sequence " & " is interpreted as Boolean AND, whereas in Standard
mode it would simply be interpreted as those three characters.
Note that nothing will change for you (or for your stored search
templates) if you keep the mode at Standard. So you can just
ignore this new feature and keep on working as you always did.
However, when you set the mode to Boolean or RegExp, you will
benefit from this new feature because you do not have to set the
prefixes (":" for Boolean, ">" for RegExp) anymore that were
necessary before to set the mode.
Note that you still *can* set those prefixes and that they will
*overwrite* the setting of the Mode dropdown! If you do, the
dropdown will be replaced by a static label reflecting the current
mode. (Of course, in Name Searches, as can be triggered via
Address Bar and Catalog, you still must use those prefixes to set
the mode -- so nothing new here.)
Developer's footnote: The main benefit, at least for me, is the
improvement of the GUI. The state and options of searching are
much clearer now.
! Crash on MouseDownBlowUp on thumbnails of huge images (under
certain conditions). Fixed.
* Now, if you try to browse a network location while you unchecked
"Show My Network Places", you get a message "You cannot go to a
network location because you opted to hide My Network Places." and
no browsing is attempted.

v6.10.0064 - 11.07.07 12:33
! Menu Go: "Go to" and "Go to from Here" did recognize path
separators as word boundaries only if "Auto-complete path/file
names" was enabled for the Go To dialog. Fixed. Now path
separators are recognized always.
:) 2-weeks break.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0063 - 10.07.07 14:08
+ Copy/Move/Backup To: now they also recognize path separators as
word boundaries.
* Menu Go: "Go to from Here" now has all the power that "Go to" has
since long. The only differences from "Go to":
- the default path is set to the current path
- the default path is not pre-selected (makes it easier to "work
on it" by keys -- a full selection is only meaningful when you
quickly want to replace the whole thing).
Code: Select all
v6.10.0061 - 09.07.07 11:24
+ Focus is now remembered between sessions. If it's not in one of
the main controls (Address Bar, Tree, List, Catalog) it will
default to Tree.
+ Address Bar and Find Files Location field: now these edit fields
recognize the following path separators as word boundaries: \:?|
Which means: pressing Ctrl-Shift-Left/Right now selects the
previous/next folder in a displayed path. Nice!
Note how superior XY is to Explorer: the latter also recognizes
space, &, -, _ (and many more characters that are often used in
folder names) as word separators in the Address Bar. Who needs
this?
! Toolbar icons show distorted colors under certain XP themes.
Fixed now??

v6.10.0054 - 05.07.07 12:15
* CKS: The "Miscellaneous" category is now subdivided into sections.
* After (un)applying a Visual Filter the focused item is now not
only kept in view if possible, but as well kept in exactly the
same screen position if possible.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0053 - 03.07.07 12:39
+ CKS: new "Miscellaneous" command "Switch Focus between Files and
Folders". Description: In the List, if a folder is focused move the
focus to the first file from top, and vice versa. And focus the
List if not focused anyway.
Quite a useful command for keyboard-oriented power-users!
* After (un)applying a Visual Filter the focused item is now kept in
view if possible. Hey, it even works with VF on Search Results.
* CKS: "Miscellaneous" command "Center Window" now does restore the
window in case it is maximized and then centers it.
! Tree and List: after a failed rename (e.g. because the new name
already existed), the focus was not always put right back to the
edit box, so that you had to manually re-focus it in order to close
it. Fixed.
* Find Files: from now on -- experimentally -- Auto-Refresh is auto-
suspended for a Search-Results-listing (aka Finding tab). In other
words: Search Results are now frozen unless you explicitly
(re)activate Auto-Refresh on them. We'll see whether we like it...
* When you enable Auto-Refresh you get an immediate automatic
Refresh File List (F5) since v6.10.0045. New: this will *not*
happen with search results. To trigger a (re-)search you have to
press F3 or F5.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0052 - 01.07.07 09:22
* Menu View | Columns: Removed "Restore Column Sequence from Factory
Default". Its functionality is taken over by the slightly modified
and renamed neighboring commands: "Define Current Column Setup as
Default" and "Restore Column Setup from Default" The "Default" is
set to the factory setup on a fresh installation. You can the
change it to your likings.
BTW: After using "Define Current Column Setup as Default" we
celebrate the return of the message box (no more feedback on the
statusbar). Since it is expected that you rather rarely change
your default column setup, a message box is suitable here.
* Menu File | Configuration File: "Save Configuration" now saves the
current INI file (usually XYplorer.ini), the keyboard shortcuts
database (ks.dat), the catalog database (catalog.dat), and (if
enabled) the cached servers database (servers.dat). The latter
(the updating of servers.dat by this command) is a new feature.
! Selections were corrupted on a Refresh File List (F5) in a
subfolder-including search results listing if the selections
contained several same-named items. Reason: the same-named items'
different paths were disregarded. Fixed.
! History: currently unavailable locations were not added to the
history, with the result of slightly unexpected behaviors when
navigating via history. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0051 - 29.06.07 12:05
+ CKS dialog: added command "Close Dialog and Trigger Command" to
the Commands List's context menu. Allows you to trigger any
command right from here!
Especially useful with the miscellaneous commands, which are not
available anywhere else. You now can use them without having to
assign a shortcut first.
+ CKS: new "Miscellaneous" command "Center Window". Description:
Center window in screen. Works only if window is neither maximized
nor minimized.
Especially useful when you lost the main window on a 2nd monitor
that's switched off.
+ Menu Edit: added command "Select All Files" (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M).
Selects all files in the List, not the folders.
* Menu View | Columns: "Define Current Column Widths and Sequence as
User Default" is now called "Define Current Column Setup as &User
Default" and includes the columns' visibility.
And, instead of a nagging message box you now get a feedback on
the statusbar.
* Equally, "Restore Column Widths and Sequence from User Default" is
now called "Restore Column Setup from User Default" and includes
the columns' visibility.

v6.10.0050 - 28.06.07 09:19
! Backup Logs were messed up at the beginning since v6.10.0049.
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0049 - 26.06.07 09:45
+ Backup: now a failure to copy a certain item when using the
"Backup [To]" function is analyzed into one of three categories:
(1) Source Too Long (> 260 chars)
(2) Target Too Long (> 260 chars)
(3) For Other Reasons
If you use the backup log option (Configuration|Report), you can
now easily see which items were too long to be copied and manually
do something about it.
When a failure happens, the statusbar progress now turns red.
+ Added "Filter Out Selected Extension(s)" to the VF toolbar button
context menu.
- Removed this smart feature (from v5.40.0029 - 23.11.06 12:49)
because it was just too smart.
Added a smart (sorry!) toggle to "Filter by Selected
Extension(s)" [Ctrl+Alt+J]: if the current VF is exactly the
same as the new one would be, VF is turned off. So using
[Ctrl+Alt+J] two times brings you back to unfiltered view.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0048 - 22.06.07 10:02
+ CKS: unlocked two shortcuts, Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown. They
had been locked from usage because they belong to the standard
navigation keys of Windows lists (they move the focus pageup/down
without changing the selections). However, this usage is not very
important and probably not even very known. And, more important,
it has been superseded recently by another more important usage in
many apps: Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown are quite commonly used
to cycle through the tabs in tabbed interfaces (e.g. Firefox, IE7,
Windows Tabbed Dialogs, Excel...).
I even made them the (secondary) default keys for cycling tabs, so
coming fresh from the factory you'll have:
Cycle Tabs Backward: Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Ctrl+PageUp
Cycle Tabs Forward: Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+PageDown
Note: Of course, when Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown are assigned
to cycling tabs (or to whatever you like), they lose their
functionality of moving the focus in lists.
+ Menu View | Current Tab: added command "Filter Out Selected
Extension(s)". Sets a Visual Filter to *not* show items with the
same extension(s) as the List's selected item(s). In other words:
hide the items of the currently selected type(s). Default KS:
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+J.
* Toolbar: tuned some of the "Window"-menu related icons, again.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0045 - 19.06.07 09:07
* When you enable Auto-Refresh you now get an immediate automatic
Refresh File List (F5) with it, because a fresh list right now is
very likely what you want when going for Auto-Refresh.
! Toolbar's Auto-Refresh buttons were not updated when changing
Auto-Refresh via Configuration dialog. Fixed.
! Raw View: Extracting text from binary files created an empty file
when the currently scanned file was renamed during the process.
Fixed.
* Toolbar: tuned some of the "Window"-menu related icons.
Code: Select all
v6.10.0044 - 16.06.07 22:00
* Toolbar: "Show/Hide Tree" has a new icon, a new name ("Show/Hide
Navigation Panel"), and a new logic: Now the button is pressed when
the Navigation Panel (= Tree (and Catalog)) is shown.
* When you reactivate Auto-Refresh by disabling "Suspend Auto-
Refresh" you now get an immediate automatic Refresh File List (F5)
with it, because a fresh list is very likely what you want when
you move back to the fresh side.
! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Excluded formats were forgotten
if Configuration dialog was OKed and the Previewed Formats tab had
not been shown (and the lists not been filled). Fixed.
+ INI Tweak: SetFocusToListAfterCatalog.
* Menu Window: the old "High Tree" option is now called "Wide Info
Panel", and moved up from the "Layout" submenu to the main "Window"
menu. Also the toolbar button graphics of "Wide Info Panel"
(before "High Tree") and "Show Info Panel" were swapped,
suggesting that the new default state is a non-wide Info Panel.
