  !!! Fixed the bloody bug that made this day unforgettable. Fundamental 
      things have changed:
      - XYplorer now runs on systems *without* GDIplus installed!
      - XYplorer now runs on Win95! (sic) 
      - XYplorer uses even less memory than before!
      This is work in progress and some little things still have to be 
      taken care of. For example, when you preview a JPEG or PNG or TIFF 
      image and you do NOT have GDIplus installed, the app will crash. 
      This is easy to fix and will be done tomorrow.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v5.20.0003, 04-oct-2006).

Or rather do NOT download it since it crashes when previewing images! I'm working on the fix...

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

Code: Select all

v5.20.0003 - 04.10.06 19:34
    + First attempt at dropping items from Outlook/Outlook Express.
      *** NOTES ***
      - I could only test dropping emails from Outlook Express, and that 
        works fine: an EML file is created in the dropped path, named 
        after the Subject of the email.
      - I have no idea what will happen if you drag emails or attachments 
        from Outlook 2003... you tell me.
      - As for now, it's only implemented for the list view.
      - The filename is automatically generated from the contents. 
        There's no prompt.
      - Any existing file of that name is overwritten without mercy or 
        questions.
    ! Tree and List: since some versions, ESCing (while keeping the 
      mouse button pressed) a drag & drop to tree or list would continue 
      dragging the now hovered item if that item has been selected before 
      the original drag started. Fixed.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v5.20.0002, 04-oct-2006).
Choose one: (1) Install Package, (2) No-Install Package (each < 1 MB).

Code: Select all

v5.20.0002 - 04.10.06 12:18
  +++ Menu Edit|Move To/Copy To/Backup To: Now the destination path is 
      allowed to contain *date variables* that will be resolved into the 
      date now! The syntax is identical to the one used in Batch Rename, 
      namely "<d[date spec]>". Examples:
        <dyyyy>                 =  2006
        <dyyyymmdd>             =  20061004
        <dyyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss>  =  2006-10-04_09-08-04
      Together with the new feature described in the next paragraph 
      (non-existing paths are created for you), this is an extremely 
      valuable addition! For example, you now can easily make regular 
      dated backups by using a destination like this:
        "D:\My Regular Backups\<dyyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss>"
      When you now Copy (or Backup; it's the same in this case, since 
      the destination is new) anything to that destination
        1. The folder "D:\My Regular Backups\2006-10-04_09-08-04" is 
           created.
        2. The selcted stuff is copied there.
      Note, that you even can have more than one date variable in the 
      string. So you also can do something like:
        "D:\My Regular Backups\<dyyyy-mm-dd>\<dhh-nn-ss>"
      A folder for the day, a subfolder for the time. Wow.
    + Menu Edit|Move To/Copy To/Backup To: Now you can enter non-
      existing paths, and you will be prompted whether you wish to create 
      them before continuing with the file operation.
      Note that all parts can be new, not just the last subfolder. So 
      "D:\new\new too\also new" will work just fine.
        Tip: Since the "[Operation] To"-dialogs also support relative 
      paths, you have an alternative "To New Subfolder" interface here: 
      simply enter a valid name into the edit field of the dialog, and 
      the folder will be created if it does not exist.
    ! Using "Copy Here As..." on an item in Search Results lead to an 
      incorrect refresh of the results listing. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar buttons sometimes lacked 3D-effect on mouseover. Fixed.
    ! Rare Hotlist sort order irritations. Fixed.

v5.20.0001 - 03.10.06 12:58
  *** Completely reorganized the custom drag & drop context menu. The 
      sections make more sense now, and there are two new items:
        - Move Here with Suffix Date Now
        - Copy Here with Suffix Date Now
      I leave them without keyboard shortcuts. You can choose your own 
      once keyboard shortcut customizing is implemented.
      Take a little care when testing... always remember: it's BETA.
    + The following keyboard shortcuts now also work when the tree is 
      focused (and are applied to the selected folder including its 
      contents, naturally):
        - Ctrl+S: Save Here As...
        - Ctrl+D: Copy Here with Suffix Number
        - Ctrl+Shift+D: Copy Here with Suffix Date Modified
    ! Color Filter: certain colors were not retained correctly between 
      sessions since 20060930. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar Home icon was not always correctly updated. Fixed.
    + Now the Properties tab displays large icons up to 48x48 pixels 
      without clipping.
    * Thumbnails of ICO files: Before, the *last* icon of a multi-icon 
      resource was taken as thumbnail. Now the *best* icon is taken, 
      where best means (a) the largest, and then (b) the deepest (in 
      bits per pixel).

    + Now the BIG icons in thumbnails view do have the size for large 
      symbols as defined in your shell display settings (e.g. 48x48 or 
      whatever you want). So it did happen tomorrow... :)
    * Before, when "Auto-refresh" and "Show folder sizes in file list" 
      were both ON, not only the current folder but the whole current 
      branch was watched. This deep-watch, however, proved to be too 
      troublesome on busy locations like, for example, on system drive 
      C:\, where the OS usually keeps on updating internal files every 
      few seconds. So I stopped the deep-watch.
    + In case of INI file corruption at start up (e.g. because you 
      manually edited it and made a mistake), you'll now get a warning 
      message with a recommendation about how to proceed best to avoid any 
      loss of configuration settings.
    ! Remaining issues with "Show Space Used" fixed.
    * List column headers: on mousedown the caption now moves just 1 
      pixel down, not down/right anymore. I find it cooler like this.
      Also added a little animation to the sort pyramid ;)
    * Before I dissipate into the weekend I feel like making it version 
      5.20! A LOT of cool stuff has been added recently... it's time for
      the next official upgrade release.

v5.10.0051 - 29.09.06 13:03
  +++ Now you get BIG icons in thumbnails view. They are currently fixed 
      to 32x32. I still have to investigate how to generate other sizes like 
      48x48 or whatever you want. This won't happen tomorrow though...
    + Thumbnails View: added 12 pixels vertical distance to next row to 
      make the image-caption-grouping more distinct.
    * Menu View|Size Column Format: move "Show Space Used" to the top of 
      the menu.
    * Menu View|Date Column Format: renamed "Age" to "Show Age" and 
      moved it to the top of the menu.
    + Toolbar: added button for Hotlist.                       
    * Some changes to Hotlist:
      - Now UNC paths are sorted last.
      - If a tab with the selected destination does exist already, it is 
        opened instead of changing the locatino of the current tab.
    + New keyboard shortcut:
        Ctrl+Alt+B = Toggle Boxed Branch.
  *** Folder sizes are now calculated après browse! Much smoother, 
      cooler, and a relaxing experience even on startup.
    ! Menu View|Size Column Format|Show Space Used: was incorrect for 
      folder sizes if "Report the disk space used" was turned off, because 
      it added the contained files' bytes *before* calculating the used 
      clusters. Of course, the used clusters must be calculated per file 
      and only *then* be added. Fixed.
    ! For the same reason as above, folder size calculation went wrong 
      when the size unit was set to clusters. Fixed.
    ! Dirty sort column after adding individual folder sizes was too 
      unspecific. Fixed. You did not understand this? Doesn't matter... 
      it's fixed ;)
