XYplorer Beta Club
v4.60.0008 - 03.05.06 14:00
* Statusbar rewritten from scratch. If everything worked out, you
should not note any difference at all.
This is step 1 towards the next big feature: the catalog!
! The info panel max size was 1 pixel too high with the effect that
you could not select an item when only one list row was visible
(happens with all top bars visible plus horizontal scrollbar)
without having this item disappear immediately. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v4.60.0007 - 24.04.06 20:54
! Preview of audio files did not auto-stop after selecting a non-
previewed file type or switching folders. Fixed.
! Another case of an extension with potentially specific icons was
detected: .sln files (MS Visual Studio solutions). Added.
Code: Select all
v4.60.0006 - 15.04.06 10:08
+ Menu Edit, Selection Filter: now you can select items by comparing
your pattern with *any* column (not just the Name column). The
comparison that results in selections on a match is a case-
insensitive string comparison (not number or date comparison).
To select by columns other than the name column, simply prefix the
pattern with '[column name]:' Note: the column identification is
case-insensitive (e.g. 'type' works for the Type column), and
there's no space after ":".
Examples (results partly depend on the column display format):
size:? KB -> selects all items < 10 KB
modified:*2006* -> selects all items modified in year 2006
type:vis* -> selects all items of type starting with "vis"
The name column is the default, so "name:" can be omitted. If you
type an invalid column name, the name column will be used.
+ Menu Tools, List Management: added Selection Filters.
! Info Panel, Report, Current List: column widths were partly
slightly wrong when padding blanks. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v4.60.0005 - 12.04.06 19:42
! Find Files, Excluded Folders: the fixes in v4.50.0022 (09.03.06
23:04) introduced a new bug that made any folder containing any
upper case letter be included even if "excluded". The exclusion
comparison is case-sensitive (A!=a), but that was only half-
implemented, hence the bug. Fixed now.
Code: Select all
v4.60.0004 - 12.04.06 10:46
! Previewed Office files got immediately re-previewed after preview
was closed by unselecting the file. (Since one week.) Fixed.
! Font Preview: the font size selector was partly covered by another
control. Fixed.
Code: Select all
v4.60.0003 - 11.04.06 19:46
* Configuration, General, "Remember find mode between sessions".
Now, if the startup tab is a *locked* finding tab, find mode will
always be remembered independent of this setting.
! System tray was not cleaned of icon when app was restored
programmatically (e.g. by a system wide HotKey). Fixed.
! Search Results tab did not remember any new find settings, but
when selected it fell back to prior settings. Since 2 days only.
Fixed.
! Search Templates: option "Search current location" did in fact
search stored location. Fixed.
+ Search Templates: now the last selected template is preselected
when opening the templates dialog.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0077 - 09.04.06 18:29
+ A Name Search (a search only by Name), which can be invoked via
Address Bar operator "?", is now is remembered tabwise.
* If "Synchronize tree with search location", the Address Bar
remained unsynched. Fixed.
* Configuration General, Minimize to tray: rewrote code in order to
support certain hotkey managers.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0074 - 08.04.06 11:16
* Adjusted the tab opening keyboard usage to the de facto standards
set by Firefox and IE7:
Ctrl+Click: Open in New Background Tab
Ctrl+Shift+Click: Open in New Tab (and focus it)
Shift+Click: Open in New Tab (and focus it)
Ctrl+Alt+Click: Open in This Tab (even if it is locked)
Open in New Tab also works when browsing by means other than
clicking a tree node. For example when you select a Favorite while
holding Shift it will open in a new foreground tab.
Note that Shift+Click (as alternative to Ctrl+Shift+Click) is used
in Firefox/IE7 for "Open in new browser window", which does not
make much sense in a file manager, hence we use it for Open In New
Tab and continue a good XYplorer tradition.
* Menu View, Rebuild Tree: new keyboard shortcut: Shift+F4.
* Ctrl+F4 now closes the current tab (just as Ctrl+W does).
+ Menu View, Tab, Close All Other Unlocked Tabs:
New Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+W
+ Menu View, Tab, Lock Tab:
New Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+L
* Menu Go, Go to Line...:
Changed Keyboard shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+L
* Menu View, Tab, Go Home: new keyboard shortcut Alt+Home (it's
standard and saves Ctrl+E for future jobs).
* Searching on Locked Tabs: before, you could turn a locked browsing
tab into a locked finding tab by doing a search on it with search
results destination "Current Tab". Now a new tab will be opened
automatically, thus preserving the locked tab's browsing mode.
* When aborting a thumb caching process, you are not prompted
anymore whether you really want to cache thumbs unless you
explicitly stopped the loading via the ESC key.
* Now, on tab change a selected and focused item will be
automatically previewed if the preview tab is active.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0072 - 05.04.06 23:47
! Multi-selection got lost after auto-refresh from v4.50.0064 on.
Fixed.
! When you moved a file by drag&drop the treeview retained the
destination folder as its current location, instead of giving it
back to the actual current location (since v4.50.0062 only).
Fixed.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0071 - 05.04.06 14:30
+ Configuration, General: added option "Move last used item to top"
for Address Bar, Name field, Location field. Check to have the
last used item always at the top position in the drop-down list.
* Configuration, General: now you can turn off auto-complete for the
Address Bar.
* Toolbar: better tooltip handling (now using a timer approach).
+ Menu Tools, List Management: added Find Files, Excluded Folders.
* Find Files, Excluded Folders: re-designed the whole section.
v4.50.0068 - 04.04.06 14:47
+ Find Files, status bar: now the number of scanned files is shown
while a search is going on.
! TrueType/OpenType (*.ttf) files did always show ultra-generic icon
(the icon for "file"). Fixed. Now they show the TrueType or the
OpenType icon depending on their actual contents.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0067 - 04.04.06 11:40
+ Find Files tab: added new sub-tab "Options". Now you control the
destination of the search results from here.
* Find Files, Name pattern: slight change to the conditions of
internal "auto-asterisking" (active when "Exact Match" is
unchecked).
Before:
*ab*, ab*, *ab remain unchanged
ab -> *ab* if "Exact Match" = False
a*b -> *a*b* if "Exact Match" = False
Now:
*ab*, ab*, *ab, a*b remain unchanged
ab -> *ab* if "Exact Match" = False
This is the reversal of the changes in v3.60.0152 (27.03.05).
* Before, after editing and then <enter>ing Address Bar, Name, or
Location field, the caret automatically moved to the end. Now it
stays where it was, and any selection is kept as well. Okay!
* Address Bar, Name, Location field: selected items are not
automatically shifted to the top position anymore. Since we have
auto-complete and list management, this service is just
counterproductive.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0066 - 03.04.06 11:34
- Find Files, Name tab: removed the ugly little Goto button below
the Location field.
+ Find Files, Name tab: added a second interface for controlling the
destination of the search results to the bottom-right of tab. Click
to toggle the setting.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0064 - 02.04.06 22:57
+ Menu Tools, List Management: added line numbers to the lists.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0062 - 02.04.06 13:00
+ Configuration, General: added option "Synchronize tree with search
location". Check it to always keep the tree in synch with the find
results list.
Of course, this setting will be notable only and always when the
search location differs from the current tree location, for
example when changing to a Finding Tab, or when you do a search
after editing the Location field.
* Menu View/Tabs: "Show All Files" is now "Toggle No Filter/Last
Filter" (Ctrl+Shift+J).
+ Menu Tools, List Management: added Visual Filters.
! Tree navigation: selecting nodes by Alt+Up/Down (no special
function) and Ctrl+Up/Down (cycle through sibling nodes) did not
really kick it anymore: the file list did not follow. Fixed.
* Find mode now is always signaled in the window title bar:
"Search: ..."
* Find Files tab, "Results to tab". Moved this option group to
Configuration/Advanced. Why:
(a) We need the horizontal space down there for the new Catalog
(aka Fav Panel).
(b) It always looked ugly where it was. It still looks ugly but
now you don't have to see it anymore.
(c) It's not an option you are likely to change very often.
Code: Select all
v4.50.0060 - 01.04.06 11:56
+ Find Files, Name: now you can mark patterns as Boolean by a
prefixed colon (":"). If this prefix is set the pattern will be
interpreted as Boolean independently of the state of the Boolean
checkbox.
This way you can store Boolean patterns without having to care
about adjusting the checkbox. I should have done this long ago!
+++ Address Bar Search: Now you can enter search patterns directly
into the Address Bar and the GoTo boxes: simply put "?" between
location and pattern.
There are interesting possibilities, for example:
C:\WINDOWS\?*.log = Find all LOGs in C:\WINDOWS\
Desktop?*.bmp = Find all BMPs in Desktop
Desktop? = Find all items in Desktop (!)
? = Find all items in current folder (!)
?*.txt = Find all TXT files in current folder (!)
It also works with Boolean and RegExp patterns, for example:
Desktop?>.*(\.bmp|\.jpg)$ = Find all BMPs and JPGs in Desktop
Desktop?:*.jpg | *.bmp = Find all BMPs and JPGs in Desktop
?:!# = Find all items with no number in the
name in current folder :)
Doing an Address Bar search will set the Name and Location fields
on the Find Files tab. All other current find settings remain as
they are but are *NOT* applied to the search (exceptions: Include
subfolders and Follow Folder links)! So, the Address Bar search is
a way to quickly get all the name hits unfiltered without caring
about the current state of all the other Find Files settings, and
without having to open the Find Files tab resp. Info Panel.
* After editing and then <enter>ing Address Bar, Name, or Location
field, the caret automatically moved to position 0. Now it moves
to the end. Very good!
! Since v4.50.0054 the the Name and Location combos were emptied
after selection. Fixed.
! Screensavers (*.scr) did always show generic icon. Fixed.
