   And special mentions to:

   What? It ain’t new?
   Well yes it is!
   I never cease to discover new possibilities each time I delve into these…

So thanks Don for such a cornucopia of features!

Nothing special, just the fact that Don's feature update storm shows XYplorer is alive and kicking.

Code: Select all

    + SC QuickSearch enhanced: New flag "t" includes the top folders themselves 
      in a multi-location search
    * Small dialogs with a Live Filter Box: When the cursor/focus is in the box 
      you now can press ESC to clear the box and thereby reset the filter. Only 
      when the box is empty ESC will close the dialog.

thank you for implementing! small things, big results.

paperfolder(, , , "oz");

Thanks for this ability, I have been wanting to request this, historically I have been doing it the long way using SC savesettings, this will be much nicer.

a BIG one Thank you!

Code: Select all

    * Configuration dialog: Back to previous button order. The standard was not 
      good enough.
    % Paper Folders: From now on, Paper Folders are only saved to disk if 
      necessary (= if modified). Before they were saved on each tab switch (when 
      the PF tag was backgrounded) even if nothing had changed.

    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs: Added dropdown "Buttons position". 
      Here you can choose where in the tab bar to show those "New Tab" and "Tab 
      List" buttons.

    + Toolbar | Paper Folders: Added a new toggle to the right-click menu: 
      Explicit Save Only. Tick it to suppress auto-save of the current Paper 
      Folder on tab switch and on app exit.

    + SC paperfolder enhanced: Now you can set and retrieve the five options 
      that are currently only available in the right-click menu of the Paper 
      Folders toolbar button.
      Syntax: paperfolder(name, [itemlist], [separator=CRLF], [mode=nl])
        mode:
          o[z|p|d|e|i]= Set option (and return old setting).

    * Paper Folders: Improved the "Explicit Save Only" mode. Less disk access.

    * Paper Folders | Explicit Save Only: Now any implicitly created Paper 
      Folder source files are created as *empty* dummy files.

> Wow, this is the 5000th beta version! :)

Don, thanks heaps for the marvelous and continuous support of this true workhorse gem.

Posted: **27 Mar 2021 12:26**

Code: Select all

  +++ Added new Branch View type "Files and non-empty 
      folders". Here any folders that contain nothing or only empty folders (or, 
      in case of a search, do not contain any files that match the search) are 
      not listed in the Branch View.

Colored Boxed Branches!
(An old feature, but I've only just recently started using it.)
Very very helpful when you are working with similar or same material on 2 or more different drives and need to clearly keep track of which location you are in at any time. For example, source and backup drives containing the same files but where changes normally should only be made to the source drive first. Just set a colored boxed branch on one of the drives and you'll always know where you are right away.

Code: Select all

  +++ Color-Code Empty Tree Folders. Finally color filters can be applied in the 
      folder tree in a way that lets you spot all empty folders at a glance.

A joy!
