Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0061, 25-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0061 - 25.01.06 09:56
    ! When you moved or copied items from a search results list to an 
      excluded folder located within the search subtree then the items 
      now in the excluded folder showed up in the refreshed find 
      results, which they should not. Fixed.    
    + Menu Edit: added command "New Shortcut...": displays the Create New 
      Shortcut dialog. Completing the dialog creates a shortcut at the 
      current location.
    + Address bar: if a destination is currently hidden (it has a HIDDEN 
      attribute AND you don't show hidden items), you are told so now and 
      don't go nowhere.
      The non-reachable destination will, however, be printed to the 
      bar's edit field. so that you can work with it, or change the 
      hidden option and then try another jump to it.

Yes, everybody: bugs should not go here but to the Bugs Reports forum!
So you are saying that there should be no posts in this Forum other than announcements of a new Beta version ?
General comments or questions concerning the last BETA are ok. But bugs and wishes should go to their respective forums because often longish discussions arise...

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0060, 24-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0060 - 24.01.06 19:30
    ! Context menu tree, "Create New &Subfolder Here": did not create 
      anything when current folder was MyComputer or Nethood. Fixed. 
    ! Context menu tree, "Create New &Subfolder Here": if invoked on a 
      special path like "Desktop" selection would jump to the real 
      location:
        C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Donald\Desktop\New Folder\
      instead of the special display location:
        Desktop\New Folder\
      Fixed.
    ! Menu Go, Go to from Here, invoked by Ctrl+Shift+G, would sometimes 
      select the wrong tree node. Fixed.
    ! Menu Go, Go to...: a new entry would not be added to the common 
      drop down history list (of "Go to..." and address bar). Fixed.

I think this might be related to the fact that I always have a tab open to "My Computer".

Just now, I discoverd that if I am in a tab that is on My Computer, if I do "Create New Subfolder" in the Tree by right-clicking on a folder, then nothing happens.

I think it is possible that some of these Auto-Refresh issues are related to this.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0057, 21-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0057 - 21.01.06 09:50
    + Configuration, Preview: added option "Mouse Down Blow Up: Shrink 
      larger originals to fit window". Check to avoid scrolling around 
      larger images.
    * Image preview, Mouse Down Blow Up: the blown up view is now 
      centered in the main window. Before it was shown in the lower left 
      corner.
    + Have a small screen? Added more thumb sizes: 30, 40, 54 pixels!
    + Status bar: if hidden files are not shown by configuration, the 
      status bar now tells you the total number of items in the format 
      "shown files/total files". A hint at what you are missing...

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0056, 20-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0056 - 20.01.06 10:18
    * Find Files tab, Results to tab: now XYplorer does exactly what 
      it's told.
      (1) Current tab
          ... sends the results to the current tab.
      (2) New tab
          ... always opens a fresh new tab for the results.
          (before it stayed at the current tab if it was in Find mode)
      (3) Search results
          ... sends the results to the tab that's named "Search results" 
          (this rule is hardcoded). If none of that name is existing, it 
          is automatically created.
          (before it stayed at the current tab if it was in Find mode)
    + Configuration: added a context-sensitive Help button which 
      provides tabwise help.

    * Worked hard on the help file. It's pretty up-to-date now. If you 
      still see something wrong or missing: tell me!
    * Configuration/Advanced: simplified auto-refresh configuration from 
      5 (which had been introduced for debugging only) down to 2 options:
      - Auto-refresh on file system changes: Automatic refresh (of tree 
        and list) on file system changes.
      - Include network locations: Auto-refresh network locations as 
        well, including mapped network drives. Unchecking this option will 
        speed up network access on some systems.        
    ! Paste worked via Shift+Ins (good) and via Ctrl+Shift+Ins (bad). 
      Fixed. Now only Shift+Ins does it and Ctrl+Shift+Ins currently does 
      nothing.
