    ! MP3 preview did not analyze all formats correctly. It learned to 
      do it better.

Nope, just hit Ctrl+F12 (View/Cycle Toolbar & Tabs) a couple of times and they'll be back ;)

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0012, 03-dec-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0012 - 03.12.05 15:09
    + Listview: added toggle-select by Ctrl+Space.
    * Reorganized the file menu. Added commands "Save Configuration" and 
      "Restart App (with Saving)".
    * Adjusted the selection mode of the File View listbox to Windows 
      standards for "extended selection" (and actually to all other 
      listboxes in XY):
      Clicking on an item does clear all other selections and selects 
      only the item you click on; shift-clicking selects the range 
      between the "anchor" item (the first selected item) and the item 
      you just clicked on; and ctrl-clicking toggles the selected state 
      of the item you clicked on.
    ! The "Free %" column did not know about the default sort order for 
      Size columns. Now it does.
    ! Audio preview progressbar disappeared partly or completely under 
      XP. Fixed.

Excellent, thanks!

That's pretty cool, I love it :D BTW wouldn't it make sense that the "Free %" column works the same way the Size columns do?

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0010, 02-dec-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0010 - 02.12.05 15:07
    ! Crash when trying to preview images larger than 9,000,000 square 
      pixels. Fixed. Not only does it not crash anymore, but you can 
      preview those large pics now! You can even show them as thumbnails!!    
    + Configuration, Advanced: added two checkboxes that allow you to 
      control the default sort order for certain column types.
        Sort size columns descending by default
        Sort date columns descending by default
      There's only one size column? No, look at the drives listing!
      If updating a previous installation you have to check "Sort date 
      columns descending by default" to restore the traditional behavior.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0008, 30-nov-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0008 - 30.11.05 17:46
    + Installation: added option to disable the creation of Start Menu 
      shortcuts.
    + Lost your position in a monster list? Here's the solution, a new 
      mouse trick: dbl-click anywhere in the white of the list to zap the 
      currently focused item back into the viewport.
      Note that any selections are lost caused by the first mouse-up of 
      the dbl-click.
    + Menu Favorites, Special Folders: added Start Menu path.

Mmmmmm, not too sure if I like it. Means an extra Ctrl+F12 to turn tabs on/off.
Yes, but focus on the advantages: easy access to all three states; only one shortcut to remember; shorter menu.
Instead of 2 times Ctrl+F12 you can also hold it down a while and have a 33% chance that key-repetition brings you where you want :lol:

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0007, 30-nov-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0007 - 30.11.05 10:56
    * Menu View: new command "Cycle Toolbar & Tabs". Cycles through the 
      three useful combinations. If updating a previous installation you 
      have to click it 2 times to show your toolbar and tabs.
    * Ctrl+F12 got a new job:
        before: Show Browsing Tabs
        now:    Cycle Toolbar & Tabs
    - Removed menu command "Show Browsing Tabs" from submenu "Browsing 
      Tabs". Obsolete.
    ! Unwanted logical locking between Show Toolbar and Show Browsing 
      Tab, including a drawing glitch. Fixed with the above.
    ! Still confusion in mode/tab-wise column settings under certain 
      circumstances. Fixed better.
    > List Settings Logic (column position, column width, sort order)
      (1) Each tab remembers its last settings (stored on tab change).
      (2) Each mode remembers its last settings (stored on mode change).
      (3) On tab change the new tab's remembered settings are applied.
      (4) On mode change (eg Browse to Find) within a tab the new mode's 
          remembered settings are applied.

    + If you change (copy to, delete, rename) anything in the "NewItems" 
      folder the "New Items" menu is now automatically updated.
    * Menu file, Restart App Without Saving: restart was done using the 
      default INI file (XYplorer.ini). Now it uses the current INI file.
      It's only logical...
    ! When startup path was patched via command line switch the selected 
      tab header was not adjusted. Fixed.
    ! Little confusion in mode/tab-wise column settings under certain 
      circumstances. Fixed.

Great tip, thanks :)
Software: should we be aware because it's soft ? I like to think not !

    + I've thrown some hourglasses at the code. Time is on your side. 
      Don't get cut.
    ! An hourglass freeze could happen under rare circumstances when 
      creating a new file. Fixed.
