+++ Now all dialogs with drop-down lists have auto-complete!
* Configuration, General: "Auto-Complete" and "Move last used item
to top" now also control the drop-down lists in dialogs.
+++ Find Files: In my never-ending struggle for consistency and
expectedness (ordinariness as a consequence of being expected and
not surprising) I added the simple multiple pattern search syntax
that you know from Visual Filter and Selection Filter (and also
from Explorer ;)). Which means: now you can enter multiple
wildcard patterns separated by ";" into the Name field.
Examples:
*.jpg;*.gif;*.png Finds all *.jpg and *.gif and *.png
*.jpg; *.gif ; *.png idem (the blanks are cropped)
Note that ";" is identical to Boolean OR, so the above patterns
are identical to these Boolean patterns:
:*.jpg | *.gif | *.png Finds all *.jpg and *.gif and *.png
:*.jpg or *.gif or *.png idem
As you see, the simple multiple pattern search is a bit easier on
the hands.
Note that the ";"-syntax now also works in Address Bar searches:
?*.bmp;*.jpg;*.png Finds all *.jpg and *.gif and *.png
?*.bmp;*.jpg;*.png / idem (forced not recursive)
?*.bmp;*.jpg;*.png /r idem (forced recursive)
Of course, if you are looking for the ";" character itself then
you have to resort to the Boolean syntax. I think this is an apt
punishment for people that use ";" in filenames ;)
* On creating a new item, if Autosize Columns is active, now all
columns are autosized. Before only the Name column was autosized.
* Better ellipsing strategy for tab headers showing visual filters:
- Caption and filter are cropped in a fair and just way.
- If nothing of the filter can be shown anymore because of lacking
space the whole remainder of the caption will turn blue (resp.
Marked Color) to signal that this tab is filtered.
* If XY is currently not running and opened from shell to a folder
set via command line (e.g. via a folder's shell context menu, or via
a LNK file), this folder now is always opened in a new tab unless
the current tab is already the same location. Before a new tab was
only created when the last current tab was locked.
This new behavior is consistent with the behavior shown when XY
*is* already running and opened via shell in which case a new tab
is created instead of opening a new instance of the app.
