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).
Code: Select all
v4.40.0000 - 26.11.05 19:15
*** 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.
