Hard-coded & experimental. Let's see if we like it...
+ Compressed files/folders are now displayed in full blue.
Hard-coded & experimental. Let's see if we like it...

Shift+LeftClick.

v5.00.0037 - 05.07.06 18:34
% Browsing "My Network Places": The servers listing in file view now
leaves the Comments column empty. Makes it much faster if you have a
lot of servers. I might make this configurable later...
+ The catalog now automagically updates its icons as appropriate
when a removable drive is either connected or disconnected.
Similarly, the current tab's icon and content is automagically
updated as appropriate.

* The tab headers' font is now set via menu View/Font/Interface.
! A hidden Info Panel was partly shown after setting the Interface
font. Fixed.
! Fixed a number of glitches with the new fontability.
- Removed menu Window/Always On Top. It was buggy and useless, a
deadly combination.
Code: Select all
v5.00.0032 - 03.07.06 12:46
+ Added menu View/Font/Interface...: now you can configure the
font used in interface areas like Info Panel, Status bar, and the
Configuration window. Before it was hard-coded to "MS Sans Serif".
Note:
- Setting any font other than "MS Sans Serif" (which is the preset
default) will slow down startup a bit.
- Many fonts will be too wide for this job and just destroy the
layout. A good choice might be "Tahoma", which displays better
on TFTs and is ClearType-able.
- You cannot change the font attributes (bold, italic) and size
(fixed to 8, resp. 8.25).
- If you select fonts that are bold or italic intrinsically
your selection will be ignored.
* Interface font: on a fresh installation XYplorer will now default
to Verdana for dialogs and Tahoma for all the rest.
+ Now you may start the app minimized (resp. the minimzed state is
remembered between sessions).
+ Menu Tools, List Management: added "Servers in My Network Places".
Here you can easily add/remove servers to/from the network
neighborhood.
Remember: this is just a list of strings; there's no
test whether these servers actually exist and are reachable.
Note: you may enter servers without leading "\\". It's silently
auto-added later.

v5.00.0030 - 30.06.06 22:29
+ Now network servers are remembered between sessions!
This means:
(a) Network servers load at the speed of light.
(b) Servers outside the primary workgroup that have been entered
via Address Bar are now remembered and don't have to be
entered again.
To refresh this server cache select My Network Places in the tree
and press F4 or F5. This will rebrowse the network and list all
servers in the primary workgroup that are currently reachable.

v5.00.0029 - 30.06.06 10:42
+ Info Panel/Properties: now the (file attributes) System checkbox
is enabled. So you can set/unset the SYSTEM flag of items at will.
Handle with care, since the SYSTEM flag is rather supposed to be set
by the system, not by the user...
+ Configuration/General: added checkbox "Show system files and
folders". Unchecking this checkbox will hide all items with the
SYSTEM attribute set (regardless of the HIDDEN attribute and the
setting of the "Show hidden..." checkbox).

v5.00.0028 - 29.06.06 10:58
+ Menu View/Fonts/Dialogs...: now you can configure the dialogs'
font name. Before it was hard-coded to Verdana. Note that you
cannot change the attributes (bold, italic) and the font size
(fixed to 8, resp. 8.25).
* The tab headers' font is now the same as Tree, List, etc.

v5.00.0027 - 28.06.06 11:06
+++ Network Places On Demand: now you can browse to servers outside
the local/primary workgroup/domain. Simply enter them (or items
located on them) into the Address Bar, or browse to them via Catalog
or Favorites. If reachable they will be automatically/on-the-fly added
the nethood (My Network Places) node in the tree.
Note: at the moment you cannot yet startup on network paths
outside the local domain. I'm still meditating about the best
solution here...
* Browsing to favorites (or favorite files) from menu is now
channeled through the same procedures as opening a destination via
Catalog or Address Bar. This means the prompt "Remove it from
Favorites?" on non-existance is gone (no problem since we have
list management).
+ Copy/Move Here to New Subfolder (drag'n'drop context menu): if the
subfolder already exists you are now prompted whether you still
want to copy/move the selected items there.

v5.00.0026 - 27.06.06 12:06
! With "Sort folders apart" turned off various irritating little
glitches could happen after a file rename and as well after updating
a find results listing (after e.g. moving one of the found items to
a new folder). Fixed.
! Opening a sub-folder inside a locked tab while browsing is not yet
completed (e.g. due to calculating folder sizes) would overwrite the
locked tab's location. Fixed.

v5.00.0025 - 23.06.06 10:13
* Removed "Slow double-click invokes single-rename" from
Configuration. This behavior now can and has to be set individually
for Tree and List. Use menu View/Tree[List] Style/Rename On Slow
Double-Click.

v5.00.0024 - 20.06.06 09:26
! When opening a LNK file by dbl-click, any target parameters have
been ignored. Fixed.

v5.00.0023 - 19.06.06 09:59
+ Menu View/Tab/Tab List...: added keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T.
When open via keyboard the menu position is the lower left control
corner if the control is visible else mouse cursor position.
! Another attempt to fix the Thunderbird issue...

v5.00.0022 - 16.06.06 12:08
+ Batch Rename: now you can keep the original extensions by simply
*not stating* any extension in the name template. Isn't that a cute
little idea?! Advantages:
(a) You don't have to care about entering the correct extension
anymore.
(b) You can re-use the same name templates for differemt file
types.
(c) You can batch-rename files of different types in one go
without corrupting their extension/type.
By the way: To remove all extensions let the name template end
with a dot.
+ Configuration/Advanced: added option "Resort list immediately
after rename". Resorts list after single and batch renames, and
scrolls focused item into view.
! Panel/Preview: when trying to rename or delete previewed PDFs or
Office files you would get a "file is locked" error occasionally.
Fixed.

surface effects for the vast majority of users/uses.

v5.00.0020 - 10.06.06 10:06
+ Now you can create internet shortcuts by dropping URLs onto the
file list.
* Panel: the Preview/File View is not auto-refreshed anymore when
the list is refreshed but the previewed file itself has not been
modified.
