v24.80.0001 - 2023-08-10 19:10
    + Custom Event Actions: The variable <CEA_ClickedItem> is now also set when 
      double-clicking anywhere on the row of an item, so you can use <CEA_ClickedItem> in 
      scripts for the "Double-click on white in file list" event.
    + Custom Event Actions: Added new variable <CEA_ClickedColumn> that is set to the 
      name of the clicked column (as it appears in the interface). Works in Details view only.
    + Custom Event Actions: Added new variable <CEA_ClickedCell> that is set to the 
      content of the clicked cell. Works in Details view only.
    > All three above variables are set on these "on white" events when you actually click 
      any cell in an item row apart from the Name itself:
      - Double-click on white in file list
      - Middle-click on white in file list
      - Right-click on white in file list
      Proof of concept script that works in all three events:
        if (<CEA_ClickedItem>) {
          echo "Clicked item: <CEA_ClickedItem><crlf>Clicked column: <CEA_ClickedColumn><crlf>Clicked cell: <CEA_ClickedCell>";
        }
      This example script will open the path of the dbl-clicked item in a new tab (useful 
      in search results):
        if (<CEA_ClickedItem>) {
          tab("new", gpc(<CEA_ClickedItem>, "path"));
        }

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

Code: Select all

v24.80.0000 - 2023-08-09 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Tree Section Colors. Optional custom text and background colors for different 
      sections of the tree help you find your branch in a huge tree and instantly 
      recognize where you are. It's all about quick orientation.
  +++ Quickly Select the Item. You can now toggle item selection in the file list by 
      Ctrl+left-clicking any cell in the row, even if Full Row Select is off. This makes 
      it easier to select (deselect) items in a very wide list, especially when the Name 
      column is scrolled to the left out of view.
  +++ Quickly Spot the Name. You can now hold CTRL while hovering over any cell other than 
      the Name cell and a tooltip will show the name of the item. Quite useful if that 
      name is currently scrolled to the left out of view.
  +++ Expansion Icon Chevron. A new expansion icon, the Chevron, is now available for the 
      folder tree. It's also the new factory default.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

v24.70.0020 - 2023-08-08 18:30
    - Virtual Folders: This change (from v24.70.0015 - 2023-08-05 18:52) has been removed:
        If all items in a virtual folder have a common path, that path is 
        now selected in the tree when you go to the virtual folder, the tree is no longer 
        grayed out, and the tree path trace is displayed.
      Reason: Leaving the tree alone is one of the virtues of Virtual Folders.
    > Secret tip: You can get the change back by passing the "t" switch: vi:|t|...
    * Updated the help file.

v24.70.0019 - 2023-08-08 10:32
    * Tree Section Colors: Now enabled by factory default. Too good to miss.
    ! Scripting | Arrays: Interpolation of array variables in combination with non-array 
      usage of the same variable did not work properly. Fixed.
        $a = "horse";
          $a = array("donkey", "monkey");
          echo "$a, $a[0], $a[1], $a";  //horse, donkey, monkey, horse
          echo "$a[1], $a, $a[0], $a";  //monkey, horse, donkey, horse
    ! Scripting | Arrays: Since 20230618, interpolation of associative array variables 
      using single-quoted keys did not work properly. Fixed.
        $a['key'] = 'dog'; echo "$a['key']"; //dog
    ! Scripting | Arrays: Interpolation did not work properly in some wild contexts. Fixed.
        $a[2] = "cat";
          $a['1+1'] = "dog";
          echo $a[2] . $a[1+1] . $a['1+1']; //catcatdog
          echo "$a[2]$a[1+1]$a['1+1']";     //catcatdog
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Point to select: Did not 
      work in special folders (since 20230419). Fixed.

    ! File | Rename Special | UrlEscape (Space > %20 ...): Filenames with non-ANSI 
      characters were not properly encoded (this needs to be done by converting the string 
      to UTF-8 first). Fixed.
    ! File | Rename Special | UrlUnescape (%20 > Space ...): Filenames that were UTF-8 
      encoded prior to URL encoding were not decoded correctly. Fixed.

    ! SC savethumb: Didn't accept percentage sizes for video, PDF, and other non-image 
      types. Fixed.
    ! List: Since v24.70.0007 - 2023-08-01 18:45 Ctrl+DblClick on any cell in Details view 
      would open that item as if the Name cell was double-clicked. Fixed. Ctrl+LeftClick 
      only toggles the selection, so Ctrl+DblClick only toggles it on and off (pointless).

      involved in the operation ("updating tags..." displayed in the status bar). Fixed. 
      These operations are now much faster in post-processing.

    * SC interfacecolors: Now that we have the Show Section Colors toggle, it is no longer 
      necessary to completely reset the section colors to nothing. Instead, passing "" 
      will now reset them to the factory defaults.
        interfacecolors("", 1); //reset all section colors to the factory defaults
    * View | Mini Tree | Minimize Tree: Renamed to "Mini Tree from Current Tabs".
    * View | Mini Tree | Mini Tree From Recent: Renamed to "Mini Tree from Recent Locations".
    + View | Mini Tree: Added "Mini Tree from Here" which radically reduces the tree to 
      just the current location.
    * View | Mini Tree | Load Last Mini Tree: This command now toggles between the current 
      and the last Mini Tree in more situations than in previous versions. It provides an 
      easy way to undo the results of the following commands by going back to the previous 
      state:
        - View | Mini Tree | Mini Tree from Here
        - View | Mini Tree | Mini Tree from Recent Locations
        - View | Mini Tree | Mini Tree from Current Tabs
        - View | Mini Tree | Load Favorite Mini Tree
        - Tools | List Management | Mini Tree...
    + View | Mini Tree | Load Last Mini Tree: Now the last Mini Tree is remembered across 
      sessions.

    * Tree: New factory default look: No more lines, chevron expansion icon.
    > Tree Tips:
      - Shift+Right-click tree white space: Quickly change the tree style.
      - Ctrl+Right-click tree expansion icon: Quickly change the expansion icon.
    % Tree | Expansion Icons | Chevron: Now it looks better in combination with lines 
      (Tools | Customize Tree | Show Lines). No more drawing on top of each other.
    ! Scripting | Arrays: ForEach on a dereferenced array did not work and generated error 
      9. Fixed.
        $a = array("cat", "dog");
          $var = '$a';

    + Tree Section Colors: Added an extra field for Portable Devices.

      Example script:

    + Tree | Expansion Icons: Added a new shape "Chevron" (emulation of File Explorer 
      style in Win 10/11). Looks best without Lines (Tools | Customize Tree | Show Lines).
      FYI, to change the expansion icon Ctrl+Right-click any of the current expansion 
      icons in the tree.
    > Tip: Remove the lines (Tools | Customize Tree | Show Lines), set the expansion icon 
      to Chevron, and tweak the TPT width to 1 pixel:
        TPTWidth=1
      Looks slick.

    * Tree Section Colors: Revised the syntax by adding an additional field to the front 
      that is reserved for future use.
      Syntax: [Reserved]|SpecialFolders1|Drives|SpecialFolders2|Network
      Example script:
        interfacecolors("|F5F8FC||F0F8F8|F5F5F0", 1);
    + Tree Section Colors: Now you can also define the text color per section.
      Syntax per section: [[textcolor,]backcolor]
      Examples per section:
        0055AA,F5F8FC     Defines text and back color
        0055AA,           Defines text color only
        ,F5F8FC           Defines back color only
        F5F8FC            Defines back color only (same as above)
      Example:
        // defines text and back color for "SpecialFolders1", text color only for "Drives",
        // and back color only for the other sections
        interfacecolors("|0055AA,F5F8FC|008866,|F0F8F8|E5E5E0", 1);
      Remarks:
        - The section text color is used only when no Color Filter color applies.
        - If the text color is missing, the section uses the default tree text color.
        - Dark mode colors are automatically derived from the light mode colors.
    * Event Sounds: Now the volume is controlled by the Windows "System Sounds" volume 
      slider.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Lighter text in details 
      columns: Never worked in Dark Mode. Fixed.

    + List: As an experiment, you can now toggle the selection of items in Details 
      view by Ctrl+Left-Click on any cell in the row, even if Full Row Select is turned 
      off. Makes it easier to select (deselect) items in a very wide list, especially when 
      the Name column is scrolled left out of view. Kind of "on-the-fly full row select".
      Note that the selection (deselection) happens on mouse up, just like with regular 
      toggle select in the Name column.
    + List: As an experiment, you can now hold CTRL while hovering any cell other than the 
      Name cell and a tooltip will show the name of the item. Quite useful if that name is
