Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0041, 14-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0041 - 14.01.06 14:47
  +++ Added address bar. The following characteristics should be nothing 
      but expected:
      - Locations entered via address bar are stored in the bar's 
        dropdown list (up to 64 items; last on top), and, of course, 
        between sessions.
      - There's auto-complete functionality as is typical for address 
        bars: when you start typing a location into the address bar, it 
        shows you a list of places (sorted alphabetically) you've gone 
        to before that match what you've typed so far.
        Note that a match here means a match of string beginnings. So 
        typing "c" (or "C", case does not matter) will not bring up 
        "D:\C..." but only locations *starting* with "C". Other ways are 
        thinkable...
      Less expected might be this:
      - To delete a particular item from the address store, have it 
        listed in the auto-complete list, then select it using arrow keys, 
        then press <Del>.
      - There's no "Go" button. Selecting a list item or pressing 
        <enter> will make you go.
      Note further:
      - Synch with "Go to" (Ctrl+G) is planned but not yet perfected.
      - In the coming version you will be enabled to hide it... :)

Code: Select all

v4.40.0042 - 15.01.06 10:46
    + Menu View: added command "Show Address Bar".

      list. Use menu View/Font to set it.
    ! Toolbar tooltips misplaced when address bar visible. Fixed.
    + Preview Tab, tool menu for audio/video: added commands 
      "Start/Pause Playing" (Space) and "Go to Beginning" (Shift+Space).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0043 - 15.01.06 11:15
   *! Address bar: improved deleting items (and removed a crash bug). 
      Now after deletion selection moves on to the next item. Makes it 
      easy to quickly delete a whole series of items.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0044, 15-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0044 - 15.01.06 15:27
    + Preview Tab, tool menu for audio/video: added checkable commands 
      "Autoplay" and "Loop Audio/Video". These options are as well to be 
      found in Configuration/Preview.
    * Preview for audio/video: when "Loop Audio/Video" video is off and 
      the medium has played to the end, now you need just press <space> 
      once to restart it. Before you needed one for rewind plus one for 
      start.
    + Address bar: note that you can also paste files (with full path)
      into the bar. They will be selected in the file list when you go 
      there.
    ! Address bar: crash when using up/down arrows on an empty but 
      visible match list (happens after all items have been deleted). 
      Fixed.

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0047, 16-jan-2006).

Code: Select all

v4.40.0047 - 16.01.06 10:10
    * Newly assigned keyboard shortcut:
        Ctrl+Shift+F12: Show Address Bar (previously "Show Tree")
      Reason: showing/hiding the tree is presumably less often needed. 
    * Little orange arrow context menus on Find Files Date, Preview, and 
      File View: now they open on LeftMouseDown thus allowing for the 
      elegant mousedown-and-select-on-mouseup motion.

As usual, I have to be different, and don't agree. I switch the tree on and off on a regular basis in order to see very long files names.
Ctrl+F4 is "Rebuild Tree" so Ctrl+Shift+F4 (which I think is not used) would be a better solution for me.

Code: Select all

v4.40.0051 - 17.01.06 10:58
    - Removed "My Computer", "Desktop", "My Documents" from menu 
      Favorites/Special Folders. Reason: superfluous, because easily 
      available in the tree all the time.
    - Removed 3 outdated bitmaps from help file making it and the whole 
      download package 100 KB smaller.
    + Newly assigned keyboard shortcuts:
        F6: Move focus among Tree, Address Bar, and List.
        Ctrl+Shift+F4: Show Tree
        Ctrl+E: Go Home (Tab Home)
        Ctrl+Shift+G: Go/Go to from Here...
    ! Tree/List splitter height was not always adjusted correctly. 
      Fixed.

BTW: What ist the best way to update my existing XYplorer? Should I uninstall and then reinstall? What will happen to my settings? Or can I just install the new (BETA) version?

Kind regards

Jonas

    * Worked hard on the help file. It's pretty up-to-date now. If you 
      still see something wrong or missing: tell me!
    * Configuration/Advanced: simplified auto-refresh configuration from 
      5 (which had been introduced for debugging only) down to 2 options:
      - Auto-refresh on file system changes: Automatic refresh (of tree 
        and list) on file system changes.
      - Include network locations: Auto-refresh network locations as 
        well, including mapped network drives. Unchecking this option will 
        speed up network access on some systems.        
    ! Paste worked via Shift+Ins (good) and via Ctrl+Shift+Ins (bad). 
      Fixed. Now only Shift+Ins does it and Ctrl+Shift+Ins currently does 
      nothing.

v4.40.0056 - 20.01.06 10:18
    * Find Files tab, Results to tab: now XYplorer does exactly what 
      it's told.
      (1) Current tab
          ... sends the results to the current tab.
      (2) New tab
          ... always opens a fresh new tab for the results.
          (before it stayed at the current tab if it was in Find mode)
      (3) Search results
          ... sends the results to the tab that's named "Search results" 
          (this rule is hardcoded). If none of that name is existing, it 
          is automatically created.
          (before it stayed at the current tab if it was in Find mode)
    + Configuration: added a context-sensitive Help button which 
      provides tabwise help.
