:off: Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Direct Download: https://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_full.zip
Download Page: https://www.xyplorer.com/download.php
Release Notes: https://www.xyplorer.com/release.php

Code: Select all

v25.10.0000 - 2023-11-04 16:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Matching Breadcrumb Bars. You can now match the colors of the breadcrumb bar to the 
      custom colors of the selected tab. Extending the color of the tab to the breadcrumb 
      bar makes a bold visual statement and is a welcome clue in poor lighting conditions.
  +++ Multi-Column Matching. File list filtering can now match a given pattern against 
      three columns (Name, Comment, Tags) at once. Nothing can hide from you anymore.
  +++ Serial Rename with Up and Down Keys. Improved algorithm. Now it better supports work 
      at the end of filenames of different lengths. And that's where you usually work when 
      updating serialized or dated names.
  +++ Speed and Robustness. Improved performance for large file operations. Jobs with up 
      to millions of items run smoothly, quickly, and reliably.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

v25.00.0223 - 2023-11-02 20:00
    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Enable 
      smart Boolean query parsing: If enabled, the explicit Name, Comment, and Tags fields 
      now support loose Boolean AND by space (it always worked for the default Name 
      field):
        cmt:Amanda Lynda      //match all items with "Amanda" AND "Lynda" in the comment
        cmt:*Amanda Lynda*    //match all items with "Amanda Lynda" in the comment
        cmt:"Amanda Lynda"    //match all items with "Amanda Lynda" as the comment
      It was always supposed to work this way, but it stopped working around 20140520.
    - List: Since v7.80.0035 - 2008-12-04 12:37, the list showed a focus rect around the 
      entire control when blocked by an unavailable location. Not anymore, it's quite 
      annoying, inconsistent, and pretty useless.

    + Serial rename by Up and Down keys: Yesterday's change might not be desired in all 
      contexts. Now you can suppress it by holding CTRL while pressing Up or Down.
    * Glider | Hover Zone | Snap Next to Mouse: Now the glider is positioned 1 pixel away 
      from the mouse, so that a click (typically a right-click) on the white space of the 
      tree is not intercepted by the suddenly appearing glider.

    % Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Serial rename by Up and Down 
      keys: Improved algorithm. If the caret is in the extension or in the 2nd half of the 
      base, the position in the next rename box is now determined from the right end 
      instead of from the left end. This seems much more natural and practical.
      For example, when updating serial numbers in such files, the caret will land exactly 
      where it's expected:
        ChineseSimplified_8.173.lng
        ChineseTraditional_8.173.lng
        Japanese_8.173.lng

    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0227.
    ! Deleting Junctions or Symbolic Links with Non-Shell Target Content: If you deleted a 
      junction or symlink where the target contained items that the Windows shell cannot 
      handle (overlong items or items with filenames that are not valid according to shell 
      rules), a native XYplorer routine could handle the deletion after an OK prompt. 
      However, unlike the shell, this routine would not only delete the junction or 
      symlink, but also empty the target folder. Fixed. Now only the junction or symlink 
      is deleted.

v25.00.0215 - 2023-10-29 11:48
    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters and 
      Live Filter Box: Added "Multi-column matching" option. Check it to look at the 
      Comment and Tags columns in addition to the Name column if the pattern is not 
      qualified with a selector.
      FYI, this raises tweak VFFallbackNameCommentTags to the UI. The key is now called 
      VFMultiColumnMatching.
      Later, the choice of fallback columns will be customizable.
    * Color Filters: Also Color Filters now support partial matches in the Comment field 
      without the need to add wildcards. To force an exact match wrap the pattern in 
      quotes.
        Comment: Linda          -> match items where the comment contains Linda
        Comment: "Linda"        -> match items where the comment is Linda
    ! SC tab: Omitting the index parameter did not work correctly after recent changes. Fixed.
    ! Audio Properties: A corrupt WAV file could cause error 6 (Overflow) in the Bitrate 
      field. Now this field shows "Invalid" and no error is raised.

v25.00.0214 - 2023-10-28 18:13
    + Live Filter, Visual Filter, Quick Search, Find Files: Patterns for the Comment 
      column are now automatically wildcarded (internally surrounded by asterisks) if no 
      wildcards (* or ?) are passed.
        Comment: dog    --(internally)-->   Comment: *dog*
      To force an exact match (no wildcards) wrap the pattern in quotes:
        Comment: "dog"  --(internally)-->   Comment: dog
      FYI, auto-wildcarding has always been done for the Name column (the default column).
    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters and 
      Live Filter Box | Use space character for Boolean AND: Now this setting also works 
      for the Comment column.
    + Live Filter, Visual Filter: Added a tweak to match an unqualified pattern (no 
      prefixed selector like "Name:") against three columns in this order: Name, Comment, 
      Tags.
        VFFallbackNameCommentTags=1
      If you prefix "Name: no fallback will happen.
        Linda           -> match *Linda* in Name OR Comment OR Tags
        Name: Linda     -> match *Linda* in Name
      The setting will probably be added to Configuration later.
    > Of these two methods, (B) is currently implemented:
        (A) If patterns are connected by Boolean operators (here loose Boolean AND by 
            space) the fallback logic does not cross columns:
          Linda Paul  ->  match (*Linda* AND *Paul* in Name)
                             OR (*Linda* AND *Paul* in Comment)
                             OR (*Linda* AND *Paul* in Tags)
        (B) If patterns are connected by Boolean operators (here loose Boolean AND by 
            space) the fallback logic can cross columns:
          Linda Paul  ->  match (*Linda* in Name OR Comment OR Tags)
                            AND (*Paul* in Name OR Comment OR Tags)
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | 
      Highlight matches: Highlighting was incorrectly applied to the Name column if the 
      filter was actually applied to another column. Fixed. Now it's applied to the 
      filtered column.
    + SC tab enhanced: Added flags parameter to suppress any error message.
      Syntax: tab([operation], [data], [index], [ID], [flags])
        flags (bit field):
                  1: Suppress any error message.
      Example:
        tab("close", , "Search Results", , 1); //no error if "Search Results" doesn't exist
    ! SC tab: Passing "index" with wildcards used case-sensitive matching. Fixed.

v25.00.0213 - 2023-10-27 16:44
    + SC tab enhanced: Instead of the index, you can now pass the caption or the path of 
      the tab. Tabs are searched from left to right, the first match wins.
      Syntax: tab([operation], [data], [index], [ID])
        index:  Refers to a tab by its position, first tab = 1.
                Alternatively pass the name (if you named the tab via "Rename Tab...") or 
                the path. Wildcards * and ? are supported.
                Defaults to the current tab. See also individual descriptions above under 
                each operation.
      Remarks:
        - The matching is case-insensitive (A==a).
        - If there is no match, an error message "Tab name not found" is displayed and no 
          operation is performed.
      Examples:
        tab("close", , "Mickey");       //close first tab called "Mickey" (no prompt)
        tab("close", , "Desktop\Desk"); //close first tab pointing to "Desktop\Desk" (no prompt)
        echo tab("get", "ID", "*23");   //get ID of first tab whose name ends with "23"
    * Favorites | Toggle Highlighted Folder: Removed the default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B.
