XYplorer Beta Club
Code: Select all
v4.50.0015 - 26.02.06 12:40
+++ Added Views. Up to now you had only Details view in XYplorer.
Now you have a number of phantastic choices!
Find the followig commands in menu View, submenu Views:
- Details: show detailed file informations column-wise.
- Details with Thumbnails: Details plus a Thumbs column.
The thumbnails' size is defined by the settings in
Configuration/Thumbnails.
Note: before you would press Ctrl+F8 to add the Thumbs column to
the Details view. Now this is treated as a separate view.
- Small Icons: just icons and names. The column width matches the
current Name column width.
- Thumbnails Width x Height: thumbnails plus names.
The thumbnails' size is defined by the settings in
Configuration/Thumbnails.
- Thumbnails 96 x 96: thumbnails plus names.
The thumbnails' size is fixed to 96 x 96 which is the Windows
default thumbnail size.
- Thumbnails 128 x 96: thumbnails plus names.
The thumbnails' size is fixed to 128 x 96 which I find quite
suitable for previewing digital photos which are usually
proportioned 4:3.
Views are stored tab-wise and retained between sessions.
NOTE: due to necessary internal restructuring any tabs' *HOME*
information will be lost after this upgrade.
+ Menu View, submenu Views: hold Shift while selecting a view to
apply the view to all tabs.
+ Toolbar: added "Views" button which allows you to quickly choose
between the above described views. Again, holding Shift will apply
a selected view to all tabs.
+ Menu View, Tabs: add command "Tab List...". Pops up a menu
containing all currently existing tabs. Quite useful when you have
many tabs with heavily shortened captions.
Nice side effect: when you reselect the *current* tab via Tab List
it is reset to its stored state, so you can kind of undo all
changes in column layout, scroll position and selections.
Another nice aspect: now you can use tabs while the tab headers
are invisible! Here the Tab List menu functions like a second
Favorites collection.
+ Toolbar: added "Tab List" button.
+ Font Preview: added an additional preview line where the font size
is freely controllable (1-99). Set size to 0 (zero) to hide the
line.
Removed the 48er line.
+ Menu Edit: added command "Deselect All" (Ctrl+Shift+A).
% Refresh Tree (F4) much faster.
+++ Menu View: added submenu Layout, which allows you to choose
between four layouts of the top bars:
Address Bar; Toolbar + Tabs
Address Bar; Tabs + Toolbar
Toolbar + Address Bar; Tabs
Address Bar + Toolbar; Tabs
Yep, I'm not a friend of drag-and-dock interfaces... :)
* The new Layout options lead to some minor but totally logical
changes in the View menu.
+ Toolbar: added "Favorites" button which does the same as right-
click on tree white space, popup the Favorite Folders submenu.
* Reorganized the Favorites menu: it tended to get too high so I put
the Favorite Folders down one level.
+++ Menu File, Rename Special: added command "Batch Rename...".
Provides a simple way to rename a bunch of files using a common
template consisting of a fixed part and an auto-incremented counter.
You can define the starting value and the number of leading
zeroes. Examples:
File<#1>.ext = File1.ext, File2.ext, ... File74.ext ...
File<#00>.ext = File00.ext, File01.ext, ... File235.ext ...
File<#055>.ext = File055.ext, File056.ext, ... File9574.ext ...
The files are renamed one after the other in their current order.
In case of a name collision you get a message with the option to
continue or abort the batch job.
If more than one file is selected invoking rename (by pressing F2
or somehow else) will automatically open the Batch Rename
dialogue.
* New input box design using Verdana font.
+++ Multi-selections are now retained between tab switches!
For memory and performance reasons there's a hard-coded upper
limit of 256 selections: if more files are selected then no
selections are retained. However, if *all* files are selected then
all selections are retained independently of their number.
Note that selections are remembered by filename, so if another
process renames a selected file it will not be recognized as
selected. Again, this is irrelevant if *all* files are selected.
Note that multi-selections are not retained between sessions.
+ Menu Go: added command Previous Tab (Ctrl+F7). Jump to the
previously selected tab.
