Here's the new BETA (32-bit)

[CyGho]

Ok XYplorer has arrived . Thx a lot.

[admin]

Ok, the new website will not happen today; I got caught by this auto-refresh thingy... ... so we are still here for a little while.

Download the first XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0000, 26-nov-2005).

  *** TrackerV3 is now XYplorer!
      Pronounciation hint: X-Y-plorer.
      Friends may say simply XY [ekswai].
    > Migration tip: run TrackerV3 a last time and uncheck (if checked)
        "Track..." in shell context menu
      in Configuration, General. This will remove the registry entry.
      Then start XYplorer and check it if you want the same service 
      again.
    ! Certain auto-refresh irregularities when deleting a tree folder 
      under Win2K. Fixed.
    + Configuration: redesigned the "Auto-refresh on file system changes" 
      section. Now you can specify in a very detailed way what you want 
      to be watched and where.
      For your interest as a programmer:
      - "Watch current path and subtree on: Local drives/Network drives" 
        uses the FindFirstChangeNotification API.
      - "Watch non-current locations: Folders/Removable drives" uses the 
        SHChangeNotify API.
      Tip: if you are using the network a lot you might encounter 
      dramatic speed differences related to these settings.
        Note that auto-refresh concerns exclusively changes triggered 
      from other processes. If you disable it completely, XYplorer 
      should still correctly update the display with regard to its own 
      file operations. I say should... some things might have slipt 
      through...
    + Along with the above changes I rearranged the configuration window 
      a bit, adding an "Advanced" tab (hey, it's an Advanced File System 
      Explorer) for stuff that's either too adventurous for beginners or 
      not likely to be changed very often.

[CyGho]

Yeah, gonna keep it to and save it in a save place

    + Menu Edit, New Items: added bitmaps to the menu items. I had to 
      shrink the 16x16 pixels file type icons to 13x13 to fit the menu 
      item height. But they ain't looking too bad.

And the folder thing is awesome, let you create a folder with its default subfolders & files, excellent to create a "new project" with the same usual stuff I used to copy manually.

That's what I'm saying, man!

[jacky]

For me personally one of the best features since months!!

Don't know about that, but definately great yeah!

+ Menu File: added command "Update New Items Menu". Makes TrackerV3 rescan the "NewItems" folder.

Should it not be "Menu | View - Update New Item"??

Yes, thanks. I corrected it.

[Gandolf]

Looks good!. I'll have to have a play and see what the possibilities are.

  +++ Menu Edit: added new sub menu "New Items". Another revolutionary 
      feature with exciting possibilities!
      On startup a new subfolder called "NewItems" is automatically 
      created (if not already there) under TrackerV3's application path. 
      Now and anytime later you can freely place any files or folders 
      (with contents if you like!) of your own choice and making here. 
      On startup TrackerV3 scans this folder and fills the submenu 
      Edit/New with all items found in this folder.
      The rest functions exactly like the "New" menu you might know from 
      Explorer: when you select one of the menu items, the respective 
      file or folder item is created in (copied to) the current folder, 
      and the rename mode is immediately invoked.
      The number of items is not limited, but your menu will give you a 
      hard time if you put more than say 40 items in the "NewItems" 
      folder.
      Tip: if you want to emulate Explorer's "New" menu in TrackerV3 
      then go to the "NewItems" folder with Explorer, and create all the 
      new items here. Restart TrackerV3 or "Update New Items Menu" (see 
      below). Done.
    + Menu File: added command "Go to Application Path".
    + Menu View: added command "Update New Items Menu". Makes TrackerV3 
      rescan the "NewItems" folder.
    ! Image Preview: when "Show Grid under transparent areas" was 
      enabled, GIFs would print over previously previewed non-transparent 
      formats, and when resizing the preview area other strange things 
      happened. Fixed.

    ! XP visual styles fix, part II. Now all controls should draw 
      perfectly with custom visual styles.
      Even if you are using the out-of-the-box XP styles Luna or Silver 
      (and hence did not have any severe display problems) you will note 
      an improvement: a certain irregular flicker when hovering controls 
      has disappeared.

    ! XP visual styles: some controls such as option buttons and check 
      boxes were drawn black if you used certain custom visual styles. 
      This should be fixed now in the Configuration dialog. Other places 
      will follow.
    + Added close tab on double click.
    + Drives Listing: added new column "Used Space".
    + Here's a new INI file trick (aka hidden feature):
        [Settings]
        FileOpProgressModeless=1
      If FileOpProgressModeless=1 then the file operation progress 
      window is shown modeless. Which effectively means that you can 
      go on working while files are being moved or copied in the 
      background.
      Note however that when file operations were triggered by 
      drag'n'drop the source window is usually blocked until the 
      operation is finished.
      Note also that a modeless progress window can easily get lost 
      behind larger windows.
v4.20.0058 - 22.11.05 16:46
    ! Alt+[letter key] triggered navigation in tree and list: jump to 
      item beginning with [letter key]. Fixed.
    ! Preview: files without extension have been unnecessarily forced 
      through quark.dll (as if they were a new unknown media format...). 
      This could lead even to crashes, depending on your system. Fixed.
    - Configuration, Preview: removed option "No videos at all". Reason: 
      obsolete.
