    * Improved column sizing by mouse. It was a little shaky when you 
      downed the mouse some pixels off the column separator. Now it's 
      rock-solid.
    + Added the "Sort By" submenu to the List's context menu. It's 
      highly expected there, as I learned from user communication.
    - Removed the Go commands (Up, Back, Forward) from the top of the 
      List's context menu. Reason: the menu got too high, and these 
      commands are not very useful there for a majority of users 
      (including myself).
      After the coming redesign of the Configuration dialog, you'll get 
      an option to have them back.

  *** Rewrote the List's column headers. Now they are "XP/Vista styled" 
      (of course, only if you have one of those OSs plus themes enabled), 
      as well as with hover effect. I had to increase the headers height 
      by one pixel to make it look good. That's still 2 pixels less than 
      Explorer. :)
    * Rewrote tooltips for the toolbar. Now they throw a shadow and 
      position correctly in a dual monitors setup.
    ! Menu File | Rename Special | Preview All: unchecking had no effect 
      after a preview had been shown. Fixed.
    ! Menu Go | Goto: Canceling that dialog did not Cancel any action 
      but pass am empty path to the browsing routines. Fixed.
    ! Menu Go | Goto: Dialog crashed when canceling it by pressing 
      Alt+F4. Fixed.

    + Media Preview: added support for the file extension DIVX (DivX 
      Movie). Note that the files are exactly the same as those with the 
      AVI extension.
    * Rewrote tooltips for the tab headers. Now they throw a shadow and 
      should position correctly in a dual monitors setup.
    * Address Bar: pressing ESC now always resets the content to the 
      current path.
    + Address Bar: now, pressing Enter on an empty Address Bar will 
      reset any Visual Filter or Quick Search and re-browse the current 
      folder. Just a little service. Before, pressing Enter on an empty 
      Address Bar did do nothing at all.
      You may also add an empty (destination) item to the Catalog to re-
      browse the current folder without any VF or QS.
    + Menu Help | XYplorer on the Web: added two commands, renamed one 
      (Web Site -> Homepage).

v6.20.0012 - 31.08.07 09:45
    + When using "Cycle Tabs with Delayed Browsing" you now get the 
      location of the selected (but not yet browsed) tab in the statusbar.
    + Address Bar: now pressing ESC reverts the address back to before 
      changes and selects it. It's the expected behavior.
    * Address Bar: on a tab change, and when the Address Bar is focused, 
      the contents are now selected with the cursor at the end of the 
      selection.
    ! With "Resort list immediately after rename" active, the list was 
      not resorted when a newly created item (e.g. New Folder (Ctrl+N)) 
      was not renamed. Fixed. Now the list is resorted after you accept 
      (by pressing Enter) the default name of the new item.
    * Rename Special: now blank values are explicitly disallowed (they 
      never worked anyway) for "RegExp Rename", "Search and Replace", 
      "Keep Particular Characters".
    ! Menu File | Rename Special | Preview All: checkmark was not always 
      up-to-date. Fixed.
    + Configuration | Preview: added "Rename Preview: Preview All".

    + Menu File | Rename Special: added option "Preview All" (toggle). 
      Check it to show a preview for each of the rename operations, 
      including detection of possible conflicts.
      As usual you may assign a KS to it.
    * Rename Preview: returned to the three button UI.

    ! Rename Special: added a third button to the Rename Special pattern 
      dialogs called "Preview...". This is the default button (pressing 
      Enter triggers it). Press Ctrl+Enter to trigger the OK button.
    * Rename Preview: changed another dozen little things.
    ! Rename Preview: check for Dupes did not work correctly with search 
      results (where same-named files can exist in different paths). 
      Fixed.
    ! "RegExp Rename" MRU and "Keep Particular Characters" MRU were not 
      updated. Fixed.

    * File Info Tips: completely rewrote their handling. Now the tip 
      information is only retrieved from the hovered file if you hover it 
      for at least 500 msec. This finally stops the nasty freeze effect 
      you got when accidentally hovering e.g. PDFs or AVIs.
  !!! Rewrote network browsing so that it works even under Vista!

    ! Rename Special / Set Extensions: did not work correctly when 
      folders (which are never renamed by this function) were selected. 
      Fixed.
    * Rename Special: replaced the term "template" by "pattern".
    % Rename Preview: loading and synchronized scrolling got faster.
    * When trying open multiple items at once you now get a warning 
      question if they are too many, for example:
        -----------------------------------
        Continue to open 235 items at once?
        -----------------------------------
      Too many is anything > 9.
    + CKS: added new commands to "Miscellaneous":
      - Cycle Tabs Backward with Delayed Browsing (Ctrl+PageUp)
      - Cycle Tabs Forward with Delayed Browsing  (Ctrl+PageDown)
      And, you guessed it, the recently changed commands (see v6.20.0002 
      - 22.08.07 07:56) are now reverted to what they have been before: 
      tab cyclers without delay!
      Reason: give you the full control over the action.
      NOTE: You have to adjust you KS mapping if you are using these 
      functions and you want the delayed versions.

Just saw a general bug when using the new "Change Template" button... wait till the next fix, please!

Code: Select all

v6.20.0004 - 24.08.07 12:45
  +++ Rename Special: added a preview for all operations within Rename 
      Special. The new "Preview Rename" dialog 
      - shows the item names resulting from your rename template
      - points out two types of potential conflicts:
        - Dupes: duplicates among the new names
        - Exists: an item of the new name exists already
      - has a button to quickly go back to the template to make changes
      I find this new feature so important that I did not give you a way 
      to turn it off! :)
    + RegExp Rename: now you may use inline comments within your Regular 
      Expressions. The comments are expected to have the general format 
      (?#comment). XYplorer will remove those comments before passing 
      the expression to the RegExp engine.
    + List, showing Search Results: now you get in-place tooltips for 
      the path column, i.e. cropped Paths are shown in a toolip. Needs to 
      have "Show tips for clipped tree and list items" checked.
    % Better thumbs management, especially notable when you do not use 
      thumbs caching: Now you can switch between thumbs and non-thumbs 
      without any re-reading/creating of thumbs happening, i.e. in a blink 
      even in large folders. The last created thumbnails are kept in 
      memory even if you change to another tab with a non-thumbs view mode 
      and later return to the tab showing thumbs. In other words: even 
      if you do not cache persistenly, the last thumbs are always kept 
      ready.
    ! The WordBreakStyle in some textboxes was set to "Path" (break 
      words at "\:?|") where it was not appropriate. Fixed.

v6.20.0002 - 22.08.07 07:56
    * Cycling tabs by keys: now browsing the selected tab (i.e. jump to 
      tab's location in tree and then fill the list) is delayed until no 
      key is pressed anymore. This allows fast uninterrupted cycling by 
      keyboard. Works only, of course, if you use a keyboard shortcut 
      that combines at last 2 keys, like e.g. the default Ctrl+Tab: hold 
      Ctrl down while repeatedly pressing Tab... browsing will only 
      happen when you finally release Ctrl.
    ! Whenever using a keyboard shortcut containing the "Shift" key to 
      change the view mode of a tab to 'list', 'details' etc., all tabs 
      got changed to that mode, because holding Shift is also trick to 
      apply a view mode to all tabs. Fixed. Now the holding Shift trick 
      will only work in combination with mouse action.
    ! App did not restart minimized to tray when minimized to tray after 
      X close with "Minimize to tray on X close" checked. Fixed.
    ! Reordered the tab headers' context menu so that Close Tab is the 
      bottom entry.

    + Configuration | General: added option "Minimize to tray on X
      close". Check it to minimize the app to the system tray when using 
      the X close windows button.
    * Preview: From now on, any file types excluded from Preview (via 
      unchecking the file type in Configuration | Previewed Formats) 
      *will* in fact be previewed when you explicitly use the "Preview" 
      (menu File, Ctrl+Q, TB button) command. In other words: if you go 
      for "Preview" you get Preview. The "Previewed Formats" settings 
      from now on only apply to Preview-by-focusing (usually by 
      clicking) a file in the file list.

v6.10.0092 - 13.08.07 08:45
    + Catalog: added a keyboard/mouse trick to show a Catalog item's 
      location in the Tree, without selecting the tree folder nor 
      displaying its contents in the file list. 
        Keyboard: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Enter (Scope: Catalog)
        Mouse:    Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Click
      In other words, the Tree will expand and scroll as to show the 
      Catalog item's folder at top position (resp. at the position set 
      by TreeRowForAutoScroll). This little trick can be pretty useful 
      to quickly home in on the target for a copy/paste or drag/drop 
      operation.
      Works as well for file:///-items, Visual Filtered items and 
      similar stuff. If the item is a file (and not a folder) then the 
      shown Location will be its containing folder, of course.
      I did not yet add "Show Location in Tree" (or so) to the Catalog 
      context menu, because -- uhm -- it's time for dinner.
