Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0051, 17-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0051 - 17.01.06 10:58
    - Removed "My Computer", "Desktop", "My Documents" from menu 
      Favorites/Special Folders. Reason: superfluous, because easily 
      available in the tree all the time.
    - Removed 3 outdated bitmaps from help file making it and the whole 
      download package 100 KB smaller.
    + Newly assigned keyboard shortcuts:
        F6: Move focus among Tree, Address Bar, and List.
        Ctrl+Shift+F4: Show Tree
        Ctrl+E: Go Home (Tab Home)
        Ctrl+Shift+G: Go/Go to from Here...
    ! Tree/List splitter height was not always adjusted correctly. 
      Fixed.

    * Newly assigned keyboard shortcut:
        Ctrl+Shift+F12: Show Address Bar (previously "Show Tree")
      Reason: showing/hiding the tree is presumably less often needed. 
As usual, I have to be different, and don't agree. I switch the tree on and off on a regular basis in order to see very long files names.
Ctrl+F4 is "Rebuild Tree" so Ctrl+Shift+F4 (which I think is not used) would be a better solution for me.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0047, 16-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0047 - 16.01.06 10:10
    * Newly assigned keyboard shortcut:
        Ctrl+Shift+F12: Show Address Bar (previously "Show Tree")
      Reason: showing/hiding the tree is presumably less often needed. 
    * Little orange arrow context menus on Find Files Date, Preview, and 
      File View: now they open on LeftMouseDown thus allowing for the 
      elegant mousedown-and-select-on-mouseup motion.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0044, 15-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0044 - 15.01.06 15:27
    + Preview Tab, tool menu for audio/video: added checkable commands 
      "Autoplay" and "Loop Audio/Video". These options are as well to be 
      found in Configuration/Preview.
    * Preview for audio/video: when "Loop Audio/Video" video is off and 
      the medium has played to the end, now you need just press <space> 
      once to restart it. Before you needed one for rewind plus one for 
      start.
    + Address bar: note that you can also paste files (with full path)
      into the bar. They will be selected in the file list when you go 
      there.
    ! Address bar: crash when using up/down arrows on an empty but 
      visible match list (happens after all items have been deleted). 
      Fixed.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0043, 15-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0043 - 15.01.06 11:15
   *! Address bar: improved deleting items (and removed a crash bug). 
      Now after deletion selection moves on to the next item. Makes it 
      easy to quickly delete a whole series of items.

      list. Use menu View/Font to set it.
    ! Toolbar tooltips misplaced when address bar visible. Fixed.
    + Preview Tab, tool menu for audio/video: added commands 
      "Start/Pause Playing" (Space) and "Go to Beginning" (Shift+Space).

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0041, 14-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0041 - 14.01.06 14:47
  +++ Added address bar. The following characteristics should be nothing 
      but expected:
      - Locations entered via address bar are stored in the bar's 
        dropdown list (up to 64 items; last on top), and, of course, 
        between sessions.
      - There's auto-complete functionality as is typical for address 
        bars: when you start typing a location into the address bar, it 
        shows you a list of places (sorted alphabetically) you've gone 
        to before that match what you've typed so far.
        Note that a match here means a match of string beginnings. So 
        typing "c" (or "C", case does not matter) will not bring up 
        "D:\C..." but only locations *starting* with "C". Other ways are 
        thinkable...
      Less expected might be this:
      - To delete a particular item from the address store, have it 
        listed in the auto-complete list, then select it using arrow keys, 
        then press <Del>.
      - There's no "Go" button. Selecting a list item or pressing 
        <enter> will make you go.
      Note further:
      - Synch with "Go to" (Ctrl+G) is planned but not yet perfected.
      - In the coming version you will be enabled to hide it... :)

What kind of changes?
Usually a folder added or a folder deleted.

Sometimes CD-ROM or DVD-ROM changed.
Mystery. This function works since years. :?
