Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v16.50.0204 - 2016-04-07 13:37
+++ Permanent Custom Sort Order: Finally, 6.5 years after introducing Manual
Sorting, PCSO is implemented in a smooth and fully integrated way. You
don't need to know anything, it just works. Custom sort orders are
remembered per tab, across tab switches, and across sessions.
Remarks:
- Works also with Search Results and Branch Views.
- BTW, Paper Folders have PCSO ever since. They use their own mechanism.
- You can even restore a Custom Sort Order via "Go Home" if you previously
saved it using "Set Home", and if "Configuration | Tabs | Going home
also restores the list layout" is ticked.
- Because each PCSO has to be stored as a full list of filenames I had to
set some limit, else INI file sizes and load times would get out of hand
if you applied a PCSO to a really huge list. That limit is currently set
to items files, i.e. in lists longer than 5000 items only the top 5000
preserve the custom sort order.
- FYI, how are custom sort orders achieved in the first place? Two ways:
- Tick "Tools | Customize List | Manual Sorting" (there is also a
toolbar button to toggle it) and mouse-drag items in the list to new
positions.
- Use SC SortByList.
+ SC SortByList enhanced: Now the list argument can also contain wildcard
patterns (using wildcards * and ?).
Examples:
- Move all XY* stuff to the top:
sortbylist "xy*";
- Move all RAF files to the top, followed by all TIF files, followed by
all JPG files:
sortbylist "*.raf|*.tif|*.jpg", "|";
- You can freely mix patterns and full names:
sortbylist "test.jpg|*.txt|Pakon-7.jpg", "|";
Remarks:
- Pretty cool enhancement, thanks to Martin V. for the idea.
+ Rich Copy: Now the Rich Copy commands are also presented when
right-dragging from a Paper Folder. In that case the full source paths are
recreated under the target folder. Example:
File in Paper Folder: E:\Test\Foo.jpg
Rich Copy Target: E:\Backups\
Resulting Copy: E:\Backups\E\Test\Foo.jpg
! Some special folder icons got missing in the last beta. 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.
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.
