Code: Select all

v5.00.0148 - 21.08.06 13:12
  +++ Menu Edit: added Move To (Shift+F7), Copy To (Ctrl+F7), and 
      Backup To (Ctrl+Shift+F7) dialogs. Finally fast, easy, non-menu 
      keyboard access to these important file operations!
      While the lists are shared between Move/Copy/Backup, the previous 
      selection is stored per-operation between sessions. 
      In the destination folder list you can Move (Ctrl+Up/Down) and 
      Delete (Del) items. These changes have no effect though when you 
      cancel the dialog.
    + Toolbar: added buttons "Move To" and "Copy To", which open the 
      respective dialogs.
    ! Since v5.00.0147 the list was not always immediately repainted 
      after batch renames. Fixed.
    + Menu View/Show Columns: Added new command "Grow Name Column", 
      which grows the name column by 5 pixels (in all views). 
      Updated keyboard shortcuts:
        "Grow Name Column"    (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Add)
        "Shrink Name Column"  (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Subtract)
    + Menu Edit, Selection Filter: now you can enter more than one 
      wildcard patterns (separated by ;) to select all matching items.
      For example: '*.jpg;*.gif;*.png'.

v5.00.0147 - 20.08.06 19:21
    ! If a new folder was created but not immediately renamed, the name 
      column width was not adjusted if necessary and Autosize Columns was 
      active. Fixed.
    ! Calculate Folder Sizes did not calculate anything if no folder but 
      any file was selected. Fixed. Now all selected folders are 
      calculated, or all folders if no folders are selected.
    * Better (more distinguished) List Management toolbar icon.
    ! Leading and trailing spaces of the following INI values were lost 
      between sessions. Fixed.
        [General]
        PostfixNum=...
        PostfixDate=...
    ! The following INI value (no config interface) was written but 
      not read, and hence always reset to the default " bytes".
        [General]
        UnitByte=...

v5.00.0146 - 19.08.06 16:14
    + Toolbar: added button "Sort By".
    $ Decided to give more value to paying customers. From now on the 
      image preview will show a small nagging bar in the trial version.
    ! Display glitch with audio/video/font/icon preview when "Show Image 
      Info" was off. Fixed.
    + Image preview: the EXIF date of JPEGs now is formatted according 
      to the system's "General Date" settings.
      Further it is now distinguished between "EXIF Date/Time Original" 
      (date when image was taken) and "EXIF Date/Time" (date when image 
      was last modified). The latter is only given if "EXIF Date/Time 
      Original" is not present. Most of the time they will be identical 
      anyway.
    + Info Panel/Find Files/Name & Location: the Browse button next to 
      the Location field now allows for selecting "MyComputer".
    + Raw View: added option to "Show Infos & Options", which actually 
      allows you for the first time to *hide* them. All what remains is 
      the orange arrow for the drop-down menu (where you also find the 
      new option).
      Note: if you are upgrading, this new option is initialized to 
      false, so you have to check the box if you want to keep things as 
      they have been before.

v5.00.0144 - 18.08.06 11:34
    * "Copy[Move] Here with Suffix Date" now use the last modified date 
      of the source file.
    + Image Preview: added option to "Show Image Infos" which actually 
      allows you for the first time to *hide* them. All what remains is 
      the orange arrow for the drop-down menu (where you also find the 
      new option). In the tooltip of the image you find some size infos 
      now.
      Note: if you are upgrading, this new option is initialized to 
      false, so you have to check the box of you want to keep things as 
      they have been before.
    * Rename Special: changed the handling of extensions.
      - Batch Rename...
        The original file extensions are preserved if the template 
        contains no extension. If the template ends with a dot the 
        extensions are dropped.
      - RegExp Rename...
        Renaming includes file extensions.
      - Search and Replace...
        The original file extensions remain unchanged.
      - Keep Particular Characters...
        The original file extensions remain unchanged.

Code: Select all

v5.00.0143 - 17.08.06 11:47
    + Drag'n'drop context menu: added commands
        "Move Here with Suffix Date" and
        "Copy Here with Suffix Date" (Ctrl+Shift+D).
      Makes a copy [resp. move] of the focused item and automatically 
      appends the current date in a format defined by a template 
      (PostfixDate, see below). Datestamped copies are very, v-e-r-y, 
      useful when working with versions.
      If an item by the new name already exists, auto-incremented numbers 
      are suffixed (format defined by PostfixNum, see below).
      Currently there is no configuration interface for the number and 
      date suffixes (but I'll add it later). The number suffix defaults 
      to "-00" and the date suffix to "-yyyymmdd". If in need you can 
      edit them in the INI section [General]:
        PostfixNum=...
        PostfixDate=...
    + Rename Special: packed Mp3 rename commands down into new submenu 
      "Mp3 Special".
    + Rename Special/Batch Rename: added shortcut Shift+F2. Useful to 
      invoke the Batch Rename interface if only one (or no) list item is 
      selected. If more than one item is selected then naked F2 will do 
      the same anyway.
    + Rename Special/Batch Rename, tip: you can as well use this 
      interface for simple renames without any variables or wildcards. 
      Just type the new name or select it from the drop-down. The 
      original extension remains unchanged.
      Invoke it by pressing Shift+F2.
    ! Spacebar key for play/stop media preview also worked when hitting 
      the spacebar in any text field (e.g. during renaming a media file). 
      Fixed. Now the list must be focused for this key to work.
    + Rename Special/Batch Rename: added new template format "date" by 
      which you can datestamp many items at once. The date format syntax 
      is the same you know from other XY date terms.
        NewName<dyyyy>                 =  NewName2006.txt
        NewName<dyyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss>  =  NewName2006-08-16_15-49-03.txt
      Note: you cannot combine increment and date terms in one template!
    + Rename Special/Batch Rename: now the self-referential wildcard "*" 
      can be combined with each of the template formats (increment and 
      date). This is, of course, very useful for date batches because 
      the date will be the same for each file and consequently you need 
      some other variable to avoid name collisions.
      Example:
        *<dyyyymmdd>                 =  OldName20060816.txt
      By the above template the current date is simply appended to each 
      file (or folder) name.

    * Rename Special: added some separators and changed the order from 
      more likely to less likely usage.
    * Rename Special: from now on, the following commands will *never* 
      change the extensions of the renamed files.
      - Batch Rename...
      - RegExp Rename...
      - Search and Replace...
      - Keep Particular Characters...
    + Rename Special/Batch Rename: now you can add strings to the 
      beginning and/or the end of the original name (extension excluded).
      For example, the template "2006-*-(backup)" will trigger the 
      following renames:
        Convdsn.exe   -> 2006-Convdsn-(backup).exe
        Drvspace.vxd  -> 2006-Drvspace-(backup).vxd
        Comdlg32.ocx  -> 2006-Comdlg32-(backup).ocx
    + Added horizontal wheel scrolling for view "List".

    ! Backspace key (go up one level) did not work on drives and virtual 
      folders when list had focus. Fixed.
    * New tabs are born unfiltered now (without a Visual Filter). Before 
      they inherited the filter of the current tab (resp. the owner of the 
      ctx menu).
    ! App could not correctly handle being loaded via MyComputer's 
      context menu. Fixed.

    + Visual Filter: added inversion. Now, a leading ! will invert the 
      filter, i.e. show only items *not* matching any of the patterns.
      For example:
        a*;b*   -> show all items starting with "a" or "b".
        !a*;b*  -> hide all items starting with "a" or "b".
      I you want to show items starting with "!" you have to escape it 
      with "\":
        \!a*;b*  -> show all items starting with "!a" or "b".
    ! Folder size calculation through the properties panel: when you 
      changed the current list focus before a still running calculation 
      was finished, the result of that calculation was falsely attributed 
      to the newly focused item. Fixed.

v5.00.0126 - 13.08.06 08:37
    + Media Preview: the volume control knows sliding interaction now.
    + Audio/Video Preview. Added one mouse action on the progress bar:
        Left Mouse Down	  -> Start/Pause playing
        Right Mouse Down	-> Go to mouse position
        Ctrl+Mouse Down	  -> Go to mouse position (NEW)
        Shift+Mouse Down	-> Go to beginning
    + Preview of Audio-CD: now you can preview *.cda tracks on any CD 
      drive. Before it worked only on the default audio drive.
      Note: I did not manage to control the CD volume yet... :(
    * Before, if list sort order is by Size, and folder sizes have been 
      calculated through the properties panel and automatically been added 
      to the list, then, you needed to "Sort Again" (Ctrl+Shift+F5) to get 
      the calculated folders in order.
      Now can as well simply click the column header to "Sort Again".
      Further, the Size column is now autosized on the above event if 
      Autosize Columns is active.
    * Menu Edit, Selection Filter: patterns containing any of the 
      wildcards "*?#" are treated as "exact match" (no * wildcards auto-
      added at both ends). All other patterns a treated as "loose match" 
      which simply means: you can enter e.g. "~" and it will be treated as 
      if you entered "*~*". Just a little service...

Code: Select all

v5.00.0125 - 12.08.06 14:09
    + Media Preview: added volume control. Click on the blue bar to set 
      the system wave volume from 0 to 100%. The left/right-balance will 
      be centered after you set the volume. Later, I will alter the 
      function to preserve any previous balance.
    * Highlight Selected Rows: I changed it to just an underline to 
      avoid clashes and confusion with "Highlight Focused Row". The 
      color can now be configured in Configuration/Colors/Selected Row.
    + The color of the normal grid can now be configured via 
      Configuration/Colors/Grid Row. Before it was hard-coded to the 
      button face color.
    ! Toolbar: if you trigger a task (click a button) and the mouse is 
      over a toolbar separator in the moment when the task is finished, 
      the app crashes. It also crashes (again in the moment when the 
      task is finished) when the mouse has left the toolbar area last 
      moving over a separator (while the task is running). Fixed.
    * After "Calculate Folder Sizes", if the list is sorted by Size, the 
      sorting is now automatically refreshed so that the now measured 
      folders are in the correct order.
    * After "Calculate Folder Sizes", the size column now is autosized 
      if Autosize Columns is enabled.
    ! When switching back to a tab with multiple selections, one of them 
      having the focus, then a simple click on any unselected file would 
      not remove the selection rectangles from the previously non-focused 
      selected files. Fixed.

v5.00.0124 - 11.08.06 11:03
    + Configuration/Advanced: added option "Turn off delete 
      confirmation". All deletions will go straight to the Recycle Bin, 
      apart from "Nuke" and holding Shift, which will go straight to 
      hell. 
      If you choose this option you'll also get *instant refresh* on 
      deletions (no delay, even if auto-refresh is enabled), so you can 
      delete many items very fast.
      ATTENTION! This option is only for impatient danger freaks!
    + Menu View/List Style: added "Highlight Selected Rows".
      Backward compatibility note: this new item took the slot and the 
      checked/unchecked setting of "Rename On Slow Double-Click" in your 
      settings before upgrading (to keep the order of the menu items 
      somewhat logical). So, please check your checkmarks for these two 
      options.
    % Calculate Folder Sizes ca. 10% faster.
    * Menu View: Calculate Folder Sizes (Shift+F5) does not re-browse 
      (or re-search) the location anymore, but just calculates the folder 
      sizes of all folders currently listed. Further, if any items in the 
      list are selected, then only the sizes of selected folders are 
      calculated. Very cool improvement! The list stays totally cool, 
      calm, and collected, while the CPU is busy adding numbers and item 
      by item feeds them into the Size column.        
    + Toolbar: added button "Calculate Folder Sizes".

v5.00.0123 - 10.08.06 11:48
    + When folder sizes are being calculated through the properties 
      panel, once calculated the size is automatically added to the list 
      (column Size).
      If you are currently sorting by Size, you'll need to Sort Again 
      (Ctrl+Shift+F5) to get the calculated folders in order.
    ! Drag'n'Drop context menu: The enabled state of "Move Here with 
      Suffix Number" and "Move Here As..." was based on number of selected 
      list items instead of dragged items (must be exactly 1 to be 
      enabled). Fixed.
    ! If XYplorer was opened via a folder's shell context menu (setting 
      the start path via command line) and the last opened tab was 
      locked, the locked tab's location was overwritten. Fixed: now a new 
      tab is automatically created in this case.
    * Changed (un)preview logic slightly to make it more intuitive and 
      KISS. If the Preview (or Raw View) tab is active:
      (1) The focused item is previewed if it is selected, and unpreviewed 
          if deselected, independent of the total number of selected files. 
          The selection state of the focused item can be toggled via 
          keyboard (Ctrl+Space) or via mouse click (holding Ctrl). The 
          selected-and-focused item can further of course be changed via 
          up/down arrow keys or simple mouse click.
          Consequently: Moving the focus without selection (using 
          Ctrl+arrow keys) will unload any preview.
      (2) One exception to rule (1): changing the selection state of the 
          focused item via MouseDrag selection will not change the state of 
          the preview. Reason: it would be counter-intuitive to e.g. 
          start/stop an MP3 while dragging a focus rectangle.

v5.00.0121 - 09.08.06 12:51
    + Preview tab: Added some eye-candy, a new progress bar for media!
  +++ Menu View/Views: added new view "List": List is a wrapped column 
      of icons plus names, as opposed to "Small Icons" which is a wrapped 
      row of icons plus names. Some people actually seem to use this 
      view -- mystery to me, but here you are :)
      The "List" view knows "Autosize Columns", "Autosize Columns Now", 
      and "Shrink Name Column" (see below).
    * Now when filling a fresh new list, the horizontal scroll is reset 
      to leftmost just as the vertical scrollbar has always been reset to 
      topmost.
    + Menu View/Show Columns: Added new command "Shrink Name Column" 
      (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad +): it shrinks the name column by 5 pixels. Quite 
      practical sometimes, especially when used by keyboard shortcut.
    ! When clicking on a Catalog item while being on a Finding tab, it 
      won't do anything if that tab's location is the item's location. 
      Fixed *again*: now the fix works for every tab.
    ! After timestamping the labels on the Properties tab weren't 
      updated anymore (since a few days ago). Fixed.

    ! When clicking on a Catalog item while being on a Finding tab, it 
      won't do anything if that tab's location is the item's location. 
      Fixed: now it enters browse mode as expected. 
    * Menu Help: "Keyboard Help" is now "Keyboard Shortcuts".
    * Reassigned keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+I now points to menu
      Edit/Invert Selection.
      Before it was menu File/Info to Clipboard/Extended File Info.
    * Before, the shortcut Ctrl+Numpad+ ("Autosize Columns Now") did 
      work only if the list had the focus. Now it works everywhere.
    + Menu View/List Style/Autosize Columns: now it works also for Small 
      Icons view, incl. automatic resizing after rename, and "Autosize 
      Columns Now" (Ctrl+Numpad+).
    ! "Autosize Columns" did not work correctly when switching back to 
      Details view. Fixed.
