Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v10.80.0315 - 2012-02-24 14:10
    + Added tweak to show the containing/top level folders in Multi 
      Branch Views, not just the files contained in those folders:
        FlatMBVShowTopFolders=1
    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View: Added a field to 
      customize the "Level-indent width in pixels (1 to 64)".
      New factory default is 12.
    * Branch View: Before, toggling BV would actually retrigger BV if 
      the file list had focus and any folder was selected.
      Now, this only happens when more than one item is selected.
    ! Branch View: Some stupidity in v10.80.0314. Fixed.
    * Updated the help file. Especially improved the Find Files section.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: 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 | Backup your Application Data Folder)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    * Branch View: From now on, Multi Branch View on selected folders is 
      only toggled on when more than one item is selected in the current 
      list. Else you get a normal Branch View of the current folder.
    ! Branch View: Going Up on a persistent Branch View did still not 
      work correctly with a locked tree. Fixed.

v10.80.0318 - 2012-02-25 13:41
    + Find Files | Tags: Added checkbox "Search everywhere". Tick it to 
      search the whole computer. It will overwrite what is stated in the 
      Location field on the "Name & Location" tab.
      This is useful because Tags search will often be "everywhere" and 
      it's uncomfortable to always switch to the "Name & Location" tab 
      and select "*" or "Computer" as location.
      This setting is not reset by "Reset Filters" because it is assumed 
      that you will prefer if it stays.
    * Tree: Now, a Tree bypassed by a search (i.e. the searched location 
      is not shown let alone selected in the Tree) is displayed with a 
      grey background, resp. with the color you have defined for Locked 
      Trees.
      This will safe you from false assumptions about the current search 
      location.
      FYI, the actual search location can be seen in the main window 
      title, in the tooltip of the search tab, and in the Location field 
      on the Find Files tab.

    ! Branch View: Secondary Sorting did not work when first sorting was 
      on Path with tree-like sort order. Fixed. Now the files within 
      each subfolder are sorted by the secondary order.
    ! Branch View: The Branch View icon did not draw under Win7 with 
      non-standard DPI settings. Wow. Fixed.

    * Multi Branch View: Now the containing/top level folders in a Multi 
      Branch View are shown as well, not just the items contained in 
      those folders.
      In other words, the tweak FlatMBVShowTopFolders (v10.80.0315) is 
      now hard-coded to True. It's just too good to be missed.
    ! Catalog: Drawing glitch where collapsing catagories could lead to 
      blank captions when the vertical scrollbar disappeared. Fixed.

Summary of the latest XYplorer Official Release.

Download: http://www.xyplorer.com/download.htm

Code: Select all

v10.90.0000 - 2012-02-27 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Tag-Based File Management. A new interface makes searching for 
      Labels, Tags, and Comments more comfortable and powerful.
  +++ Multi Field Search. In a Boolean search you can now mix different 
      fields, e.g. find all images with 1024 x 768 pixels AND labeled 
      "Red" AND having "2012" in the name. Such a search can be wrapped 
      into a single click, e.g. as Favorite or Toolbar button.
  +++ Text Preview. Now you can select a different encoding for the 
      previewed text file, e.g. Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese.
  +++ Branch View. Tree-like sort order now supports per-folder
      secondary sorting, i.e. files can be sorted within their 
      respective parent folders.
  +++ Multi Branch View. Now it shows the containing/top level folders, 
      not just the files contained in those folders. Makes moving files 
      around quicker and simpler than opening a second pane. It's like 
      having dual pane, triple pane, quad pane, etc. in one list.

Code: Select all

v10.90.0002 - 2012-03-03 20:27
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   FileSize
      Action: Retrieves the size of the specified file, in bytes.
      Syntax: filesize([filename])
        filename: file full path/name, or relative to current path
                  defaults to the current file
      Examples:
        echo filesize();
        echo filesize("C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe");
    + SC ReadFile enhanced by new Start parameter.
      Name:   ReadFile
      Action: Read data from file into string.
      Syntax: readfile([filename], [mode], [numbytes], [codepage], _
                  [start=1])
        start: byte position to start reading from; 1 = beginning of file
      Example:
        // read current file from position 100
        text readfile(, , , , 100);
      Tip: Now with FileSize() and ReadFile(..., start) you can easily 
      write scripts that join and split files.
    ! Scripting: Permanent Variables were not resolved when referenced 
      in a script called by the load() statement. Fixed.
    ! Tags: On startup on a locked Mini Tree, tags were not initialized 
      before showing the list. Fixed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.

Code: Select all

v10.90.0003 - 2012-03-04 17:00
    + Configuration | Fonts | Main Contents: Now you can control which 
      of the main controls (List, Tree, Catalog, Address Bar, Tabs) 
      adjust to the custom size of the Main Contents font (not just to 
      the custom name). A new button "Apply to..." opens a checkbox list 
      where you can tick the controls that shall adjust to the font 
      size. Factory default is all controls.
      Note that this setting also determines which controls listen to 
      the Ctrl+Wheel method to modify the main font size.
    + List | Secondary Sorting: Now you can remove any secondary sorting 
      and keep the current primary sort order: Hold SHIFT and click the 
      primary sort column.
    ! Tree: The icon for the "User" special folder was not correct for 
      Win7. Fixed.
    ! Tree, List: The icon for the "User" physical folder was not 
      correct for Win7. Fixed.
    ! Color Filters: Were not always correctly applied to items in 
      Details View where backcolor and textcolor of different filters 
      should be merged. The backcolor was missing when the list was 
      redrawn due to focus loss or focus gain. Fixed.
    - User-Defined Commands: In v10.80.0313 the following fix was added:
      ! User-Defined Commands: Script reentry was possible with 
        undesired side-effects. Fixed.
      However, this "fix" did not fix anything but crippled the 
      functionality of UDC. Fixed the fix. Now you get an error message 
      when a UDC calls itself.
    ! Branch View: Did not honor locked home zones. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v10.90.0004 - 2012-03-05 12:13
    + Configuration | Advanced: Added "Allow zombies in the Mini Tree". 
      Tick it to keep currently unavailable folders in the Mini Tree, 
      given they are located on currently unavailable drives.
      Factory default is OFF, i.e. on loading a Mini Tree any 
      unavailable folders are silently removed from the tree.
      Note: This has been available as a tweak since v10.80.0310.
    * Branch View: From now on, when you turn on Branch View on a Search 
      Results tab and the searched location is not identical with the 
      current location (as shown in the Title Bar, the Address Bar, and 
      in the Tree), then the Branch View is applied to the current 
      location, not the searched location. Before, it was applied to the 
      searched location, which is unlikely to be what the user intended.
    * Info Panel | Tags: Now spaces are auto-added to the separators in 
      the Labels and Tags fields for better looks and readability.
    * Toolbar | Tabsets: In the button's dropdown the current tabset is 
      now marked by a black dot (aka radio-checked).
    * Tabsets: In the "Open..." and "Open As..." lists the current 
      tabsets are now shown in bold.
    ! Tabsets: "Revert to Saved" would not work with the default tabsets 
      of each pane ("1" and "2") after a restart because they were saved 
      on app exit to the real folder, not to the temporary one. Fixed.
    ! Help | Various Information | Windows Version: "Windows 8" was not 
      correctly displayed when XY was running under Windows 8. Fixed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

v10.90.0005 - 2012-03-05 15:48
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name:   wipe
      Action: Wipe the specified items.
      Syntax: wipe [itemlist]
        itemlist:  |-separated list of items (full path) to delete.
                   The | (pipe) resp. the items may be surrounded by any 
                   number of blanks.
                   Defaults to the selected items in list.
      Notes:      
      - The Wipe operation is identical to the one in menu File | File 
        Special | Wipe. The main advantage with SC wipe is that you can 
        pass the items to wipe as an argument.
      - For safety reasons there is no way to turn off the warning 
        prompt before the operation starts.
      - Just as a reminder: You can also wipe whole folders. All files 
        found within are individually wiped. Then the folders are 
        removed.
      Examples:
        // wipe all selected items in list: 
        wipe;
        // wipe two particular files: 
        wipe "E:\Test\1.txt|E:\Test\2.txt";
    + SC confirm() enhanced:
      Name:   confirm
      Syntax: confirm(text, [linebreaker], [defaultbutton=1])
        defaultbutton:
          1: [Default] First button (OK)
          2: Second button (Cancel)
      Examples:
        echo confirm("Should#I#stay#or#should#I#go#?", "#", 1);
        echo confirm("Should#I#stay#or#should#I#go#?", "#", 2);
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit: If off 
      then this particular key was still written to the INI file even if 
      it was not necessary. Fixed.
    ! Tree: Boxed Branch etc. could not be turned off for special 
      folders in a locked tree. Fixed #3.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.

    * Tabsets: Now, when you attempt to load the currently loaded 
      tabset, nothing will happen and you are notified in the Status Bar 
      that the tabset is already loaded. Before, you were prompted to 
      clone the current tabset.
      Note that you can still clone the current tabset by holding CTRL 
      while selecting it in the Toolbar | Tabsets dropdown.
    * SC input enhanced: The "notes" parameter is now also used in 
      multiline style ("m").
    ! Tree: Inline-renaming folders to longer names could make the 
      rename box disappear behind the right tree border. Fixed.
    ! Branch View: Removed a little glitch (when toggling BV) that 
      slipped into v10.90.0004.
    ! Shell context menu of Computer: Under 32-bit Windows Vista and 
      later the "Manage" item did not work. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Also auto-select tabs in the 
      inactive pane". Untick to keep the inactive passive on being 
      dragged-over. This can be quite practical. Factory default is off.
    * Configuration | Tabs | Delay before a dragged-over tab is auto-
      selected (in milliseconds): Now when you enter 0 (zero) the tabs 
      are never auto-selected on drag-over.
    % Mini Tree: Improvements in startup speed when you habitually work 
      with unavailable servers in the Tree: Now, when you ticked 
      "Configuration | Advanced | Allow zombies in the Mini Tree" then 
      the Mini Tree will load totally fast on any unavailable network 
      paths. Also Mini Tree List Management will load totally fast.
      The price: You'll get generic folder icons for all network 
      folders.
    ! Status Bar: "Spot On" status was not always removed when it 
      should. Fixed.
    ! Shell context menu of Computer: Under 32-bit Windows Vista and 
      later the "Manage" item did not work. Fixed #2.
    ! Drag & Drop: Dropping from or to UNC paths the default operation 
      was always Move although it often (when servers or shares 
      differed) should have been Copy. Fixed.

      their IDs and keyboard shortcuts, where you can select a command

      Tip: The list's right-click menu provides the option to copy the 
      list to the clipboard.
    * List Management: Now when you press "New" in a filtered list, the
