v25.00.0101 - 2023-09-28 15:53
    + Breadcrumb Bars: You can now match the colors of the breadcrumb bar to the colors of 
      the selected tab if it is a custom-colored tab, i.e. if its background and text 
      colors have been set individually via View | Tab | Background Color... and View | 
      Tab | Text Color....
      To enable the above, check both:
        - Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Match selected tab with breadcrumb bar
        - Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Preserve custom colors
      And set this tweak (UI option will come later):
        TabMatchSelectedWithCrumbReverse=1
    + Branch View: Similar to the changes in v24.80.0026 - 2023-08-25 16:38, menu Edit | 
      New Items now also places the new items in the currently focused subsection of a 
      Branch View.
    * Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories | Preview as Thumbnail: 
      Shortcuts (LNK) to these file types were not included. Now they are.

Code: Select all

v25.00.0102 - 2023-09-28 18:56
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors: Added option "Match breadcrumb bar with 
      custom colored tab". Tick it to match the colors of the breadcrumb bar to the colors 
      of the selected tab if it is a custom-colored tab.
      By the way, it's no longer necessary to check the other two boxes on this page to 
      make this happen. However, there is a possible combination that just does not make 
      sense:
        [+] Match breadcrumb bar with custom colored tab
        [+] Match selected tab with breadcrumb bar
        [-] Preserve custom colors
      Therefore if "Match breadcrumb bar with custom colored tab" is checked then 
      "Preserve custom colors" is implied internally even if it is not checked.
    - Removed the tweak/key TabMatchSelectedWithCrumbReverse. The key is now 
      CrumbMatchWithSelectedCCTab.

      relocated but a new tab was opened at the specified path. Fixed. Now this is a way 
      to change the location of a locked tab.

      result in a tab switch. Fixed.

Code: Select all

v25.00.0106 - 2023-10-16 16:04
    + SC filetime enhanced: Added an optional "format" parameter. Previously, the format 
      returned was hardcoded to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss" (ISO 8601). Now this is the default, 
      but you can change it freely.
      Syntax: filetime([filename], [type="m"], [format="yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss"])
        format: Format of the returned date, defined by the usual letters (ymdhns).
                Defaults to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss".
                There is a special value "hex" which returns an 8 byte little endian hex value.
      Examples:
        echo filetime();          //modified date of current file, in ISO 8601, eg: 2023-10-16 14:42:22
        echo filetime(,, "yyyy"); //modified date of current file, year only, eg: 2023
        echo filetime(,, "dddd"); //modified date of current file, as weekday, eg: Monday
        echo filetime(,, "ww");   //modified date of current file, week number, eg: 42
        echo filetime(,, "hex");  //modified date of current file, as 8 byte little endian hex value, eg: 01DA002E35164B00
    % List: Since v24.30.0123 - 2023-04-25 17:00 deleting items in a long list took longer 
      than necessary due to unnecessary refresh work. Fixed.
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

v25.00.0107 - 2023-10-17 13:20
    + SC timestamp enhanced: Now you can specify the time as an 8-byte little-endian hex 
      value. Note that this value provides the full file time resolution of NTFS down to 100 
      nanoseconds.
      Syntax: timestamp [type = "cma"], [date / source_item], [itemlist], [source_type = "*"], [shift]
        date: Can be an 8-byte little-endian hex value prefixed with 0x, e.g. 0x01DA002E35164B00.
      Remark:
        This complements the new "hex" functionality of SC filetime.
      Examples:
        timestamp "m", "0x01DA002E35164B00";  //= 2023-10-16 14:42:22 (no fractional seconds)
        timestamp "m", "0x0000000000000001";  //= 1601-01-01 01:00:00.0000001 (hour may depend on your time zone)
      Note that most hex values don't really work. MS's documentation is poor and the 
      implementation half-baked (different file time related Windows functions have 
      different internal limits). After the year 9999, I personally would no longer trust 
      Windows file times.
      Half-working example:
        timestamp "m", "0x7FDA002E35164B00";  //= 30794-10-23 17:50:19 (but this value does not work well in all contexts)
      Non-working examples:
        timestamp "m", "0x0000000000000000";  //does nothing
        timestamp "m", "0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF";  //does nothing
        timestamp "m", "0xFFFFFFFEFFFFFFFE";  //error "The parameter is incorrect."
        timestamp "m", "0xEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE";  //error "The parameter is incorrect."        
    ! View | Suspend Auto-Refresh: In rare cases, the setting was activated (i.e. 
      auto-refresh was suspended) immediately after startup. Probably fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Setting "Trigger hotkeys with/without CTRL" (X), added v24.80.0013 - 
      2023-08-17 13:01, was not remembered across sessions. Fixed.
    ! Icon Preview: Hover Box and Preview Tab/Pane did not work correctly for ICO files if 
      "*.ico" was assigned a custom icon in Tools | Customize File Icons... Fixed.

    % Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Quality: High Quality settings "Crisp" and

      the limit has been raised to around 50 MP (8700 * 5800 = 50,460,000 pixels).
      Note that what actually works may also be limited by your specific soft and hard 
      environment.
      The 50 MP factory default can be tweaked here (0 = unlimited):

    % Pop-up menus: Added a mechanism to prevent unwanted mouse-up triggers in a pop-up 
      menu opened by mouse-down. This is an issue when a menu is opened directly under the 
      mouse pointer due to space constraints.
      How it is done: If the mouse moved only 2 pixels or less in any direction between 
      mouse-down and mouse-up, the mouse-up is not counted as an active trigger.
