  +++ Menu Tools: add submenu "List Management" where you can manage

      More lists will follow, I'm just starting...
    + Added new keyboard shortcuts to my owner-drawn listboxes (see them 
      in Customize Toolbar, Preview Formats, Color Filter, List 
      Management, etc.):
        Ctrl+Up:    shift selected item up
        Ctrl+Down:  shift selected item down

v4.50.0040 - 18.03.06 16:47
    ! Toolbar context menu "Customize Toolbar..." did not do what it 
      said but "Open Configuration in Editor...". Fixed.
    * All controls with Auto-complete functionality: the drop-down match 
      list (the list of items that match what you've typed so far) now has 
      a distinctive forecolor so that you can easily distinguish it from 
      the normal drop-down list (the list that contains all stored items 
      in reverse chronologial order).

      with *.ini-files. Of course, any changes you do will be applied 
      only after a restart without saving.
    + Menu File, Save: the command caption now tells the "Save Settings 
      On Exit" state.

  $$$ New license policy. Details see nag splash (initial nag screen):
      "XYplorer is not freeware. You may evaluate XYplorer for free for a 
      maximum period of 21 days. If you wish to continue using it after 
      21 days, you have to register and purchase a license. This trial 
      version is fully functional, with one exception: the configuration 
      will be reset to fabric defaults with a chance of 1:5."
    - Dropped command "Reset to Defaults..." in menu View.
      Outdated feature fossile from the previous millenium.

    + Added two nice icons made by Mark James to the toolbar:
      Register (some green backs) and Unlock (a key). Thanks, Mark!
      Check out Mark's site: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/
    * NT/2K/XP only: changed the filter for listing items in the Nethood.
      Thrilling question: do you still see what you'd like to see?
      Reason: speed and control.
    + Now configuration files (INI files) are remembered between sessions.
    + The name of the current INI is displayed in the title bar.
    + Toolbar: added "Favorite Files" button, which popups the Favorite 
      Files submenu.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.50.0025, 11-mar-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.50.0025 - 11.03.06 20:09
    + Configuration General, Minimize to tray: added option to use a 4-
      bit icon for the system tray. Some trays appear to support only 16 
      colors.
    + Drag'n'drop: before, you could trigger any number of simultaneous 
      file operations by keyboard shortcuts, menu commands, or toolbar 
      buttons, but not by drag'n'drop: the source-control of the first
      drag'n'drop operation was blocked until the file operation was 
      finished, and only then you could start the next. Now, you can use 
      drag'n'drop while the previous job is still on the way.
    + Menu View: added command "Refresh Folder" (Shift+F4). Refreshes 
      just the current folder, and is thus a bit faster and more to the 
      point than Refresh Tree.

v4.50.0022 - 09.03.06 23:04
    ! Find Files, Excluded Folders: wildcards were allowed but did not 
      work. Fixed.
      Note that you don't have to add trailing "*"s to exclude all 
      subfolders. It's done automatically.
      Examples:
      ?:\RECYCLER\  = exclude all Recycle Bins
      ?:\recycler\  = exclude all Recycle Bins as well (case is ignored)
      *\junk\       = exclude all junk
      C:\Documents and Settings\*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
                    = ignore any IE temp files by any user

Code: Select all

v4.50.0020 - 07.03.06 22:29
    + Configuration, Advanced: added checkbox "Slow double-click invokes 
      single-rename" (slow double-click = clicking an already selected 
      file). The active state is what you know from XYplorer and most 
      other file managers. But if you are like me and don't like it and 
      prefer to invoke rename by F2 and want to simply move the focus by 
      clicking an item: uncheck it!
    * Before, slow double-click rename was invoked when you clicked the 
      icon or the name of an item. Now it's only the name.
    ! Sticky file selection: when re-opening a tab with exactly one 
      selected-but-not-focused file this selection got "sticky", i.e. you 
      could select a second file by a simple mousedown without holding 
      Ctrl. Fixed.
    * Navigation by arrow keys: in thumbnail views the arrow keys now 
      always bring you to the start and end of the columns and rows. And 
      they will always select the then focused file.

    ! File View, ASCII files: better handling of files with mixed line-
      endings.
      - Unix/DOS  = files that have as well 0a as 0d0a line ends
      - Mac/DOS   = files that have as well 0d as 0d0a line ends
      Before you had phantom line feeds in the display of some files.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.50.0016, 02-mar-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.50.0016 - 02.03.06 11:56
    * Auto-complete in Address Bar and Name/Location field: before, the 
      first item of the drop-down-list was preselected but not copied to 
      the edit field (where it can be triggered via <enter>). To get rid 
      of this inconsistency I removed the preselection.
    * Search results, path column: root paths now are displayed slashed.
    % Improved file list refresh algorithm for search results: now on 
      every look-in-path change the listing is updated if necessary. And, 
      don't worry, it did not get slower but even a bit faster because I 
      found another little performance tweak.
    * Find Files, Multiple Location Search (via Location combo): up to 
      now the separator between different directories had to be " | " 
      (space-pipe-space). Now the spaces are optional, so you can for 
      example search in "C:\ | E:\" or in "C:\|E:\", it's the same.
    ! Crash on startup when selecting menu View (or invoking any of its 
      commands) while startup is not yet completely through (e.g. because 
      folder sizes are still being calculated). Fixed.
    ! Column width auto-adjustment did not happen after rename
      operations. Fixed.
