+ 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.
Thanks, looks great!CyGho wrote:Updated my site today. Visitors can find the way to XYplorer now a little better
Yes yes! This feature really has to be hyped! I like it better every day. Tip: make the NewItems folder a favorite folder, so you can easily send stuff there by "CopyTo" and recreate it directly in the next location. It's like a rebound!CyGho wrote:Een hele mooie mogelijkheid haal ik er even extra uit. In de map waar XYplorer staat geïnstalleerd zie je een map "New Items". Alles wat je daar inzet wordt getoond in XYplorer in Menu>Edit "New Items" en wat je ook terug vindt in het contextmenu onder de rechtermuis. Voor mijn part zet je daar een gehele mappenstructuur in, als je nu binnen XYplorer een map selecteert en je kiest in dat "New Items" menu die mappen structuur, zal XYplorer die gehele structuur naar de geselecteerde map kopiëren. Heel handig voor telkens terugkerende taken. Dit werkt ook met allerlei soorten bestanden, b.v. een leeg Word document of een nieuw jpg bestand.
Yes, agreed. I'll throw some hourglasses over the code...jacky wrote:The mouse cursor never changes even when refreshing the tree, performing search, etc even though thoose operations make XY "unresponsive"...
Yep, no more.jacky wrote:ps: forum still says & links to TV3; I even got redirected to the old URL (now 404) when logged in
hehe.. actually I meant the hourglass, you never use it. The mouse cursor never changes even when refreshing the tree, performing search, etc even though thoose operations make XY "unresponsive" (i mean we can't change directory, preview some files, etc).admin wrote:I use it sometimes, but my tree is very fast.

It seems you never use it, not sure why but it's a nice thing you know
wow!admin wrote:The earliest I found is Tracker 1.50 from January 1998! It's, well, different from today's version, but you will recognize some basic traits.
Yes it's a bit different Really impressive to see how greatly it has improved to become the best file manager ever 
About F4, it would be nice if you used the hourglass cursor (or whatever you wantadmin wrote:Share-symbols (the hand) would not be updated on F4/F5. Fixed.
) while refreshing it, cause when the tree is large it can take a few sec, and it would help to see when XY is done/ready Code: Select all

! Auto-refresh did not correctly recognize mapped network drives as
network locations. Fixed.
! Certain auto-refresh irregularities when deleting a tree folder
under Win2K. Fixed, part II.
! Share-symbols (the hand) would not be updated on F4/F5. Fixed.
Note: use F4 before F5, or simply press the toolbar Refresh.

*** 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.
