Here's the new BETA (32-bit)

[jacky]

Well, almost ... I had to go the other way and disable New Tab on unselected tabs. Internal reasons... don't take it too hard.

EDIT: but now I don't like the disabled New Tab, so everything stays as it was, and we live with a little inconsistency.

I don't get it though. You know which tab we clicked on, since it works for filters, rename, etc so why can't you use that tab's path for the new one?

    * "Browse Filter" is now "Visual Filter".
    + Visual Filter: you now can state an unlimited number of wildcard 
      patterns separated by ";" (logically treated as OR).
      Further you can use the wildcard "#" for any single digit (0-9).
    + Forgot to mention: Visual Filter pattern matching is not case-
      sensitive: a=A.
    + If Visual Filter is on, the item count on the statusbar now tells 
      you the total number of items, and it does it in blue (or whatever 
      you set the Marked Color to) as a further indication that a filter 
      is active and effective.

So, simply make New Tab behave like all other commands: apply to the (right-)clicked tab. Yep, it should be done.

Hmm, "New Tab" does effectively duplicate the current tab... or do you mean "Close all dupes"?

No I meant to duplicate "another" tab (not current). Instead of activating a tab and then opening a new one, when right-clicknig a tab and duplicate, then the new tab isn't at the current tab location but the tab we right-clicked on.

How about a "Duplicate tab" ? I'd like that too

Added new functionality "Browse Filter" to the file list!

This is great!
Little thing, if we're on a root then it goes "D:\\*.exe"
And, could there be a way to have more than one pattern, like "*.ocx,*.dll" ?

Menu View, Browsing Tabs: added command "Close Unlocked Other Tabs..."

v4.20.0034 - 09.11.05 13:07
  +++ Added new functionality "Browse Filter" to the file list! Control 
      what you see by stating simple wildcard patterns like *.txt. The 
      Browse Filter is per-tab and, of course, saved between sessions. 
      The current filter is displayed on the tab headers. Find the new 
      commands under menu View/Browsing Tabs.
      Handy shortcuts:
      - Ctrl+J: open the Set Browse Filter dialog
      - Ctrl+Shift+J: show all files (=unset any filter).

    + Forgot to mention: Color Filter pattern matching is not case-
      sensitive: a=A.
    ! Color filter was not updated when changes in the pattern list had 
      been induced by keyboard or mouse (instead of clicking the buttons). 
      Fixed.

... Added new functionality "color filter" to the file list! The 60s are back and you are in full control: ...

Now everybody is happy.

Great work

BTW I don't know if it's due to an update from NOD32 or not, but i have no more false-positive alert

v4.20.0032 - 08.11.05 21:35
  +++ Added new functionality "color filter" to the file list! The 60s 
      are back and you are in full control: add as many wildcard pattern 
      as you like in Configuration/Colors.
      For example to color all TXT files blue, add the pattern *.txt to 
      the list and then choose a nice blue. Or give an extraterrestrial 
      ultra-violet to all files containing a space in their name by 
      adding the pattern * *.
      Handy shortcuts:
      - rename a pattern:   F2
      - recolor a pattern:  dbl-click the list
      - delete a pattern:   DEL
      Note that the specs are processed from top to bottom: the first 
      match makes it.
      As a special service for savvy coders, the colors are stored in 
      the INI file in hexadecimal RRGGBB format widely known from HTML.
      So, if you're able, you can do the work right down in the dirt. 
      Here's an example of the INI section:
        [ColorFilter]
        Count=5
        1=*.txt>38A050
        2=*.htm>4287D2
        3=*.exe>D24257
        4=*.zip>CC6600
        5=* *>FF0080
    + Menu View, Browsing Tabs: added command "Close Unlocked Other 
      Tabs...". Handy, isn't it?
    * Made text space in tab headers some pixels wider.
    ! When closing a non-selected tab left of the selected tab and the 
      selected tab was not the right-most tab, the selection moved to a new 
      tab instead of simply staying where it was. Fixed.
    * Closing any non-selected tabs will not lead to a refresh of the 
      currently selected tab anymore. Which is good.

To make it look real sharp set the default list color to orange!

Actually, my list colour is 255,225,157!!

Extreme!

i think coloring file list is very VERY useful, to identify files around. can it be customized as well?

Yes. You'll be able to define include (and maybe exclude??) patterns. At least that's how I envisioned it when I suggested the feature. It took some convincing, but I think Donald is finally coming around.
