I know I started off on the wrong foot here, but this is simply the best file manager since CubicExplorer. Although I still can't seem to part with CE yet, XY is actually pretty damned good. Thank you for your work Don. Maybe one day I won't be frowned upon so much

Code: Select all
! Locked Tabs: If you changed the location of a locked tab while creating
thumbnails or calculating folder sizes, the location of the locked tab may
actually have been overwritten by the new location. Fixed.
+ SC input enhanced: Now the icon parameter also accepts an image file (GIF,
JPG, PNG). It can be a full path, or just a filename (auto-resolved
to the default icons path <xyicons>).
+ Tabs: Now you can freely choose almost anything for a tab's icon. In "View
| Tab | Rename Tab..." you can state an image file (GIF, JPG, PNG, ICO) or
non-image file (its system icon will be used) for the custom item icon
(appended to the name, separated by |). It can be a full path, or just a
filename (auto-resolved to the default icons path <xyicons>). Or you can
still specify an internal icon prefixed by ":", e.g. :dark.
+ SC popupmenu/popupnested enhanced: Experimentally now you can add custom
icons to script items in your scripted menu, at the second position and
identified by / as icon marker.
That makes 3 possible syntaxes for script items (here assuming sep_item=";"):
::Script (here Script is also used as Caption)
::Caption;Script
::Caption;/Icon;Script
another portion of big Thanks from me!
Couldn't track that locked tab bug for ages and now it's finally fixed.

Yet i like all the colour/icon-ization features, so glad that now there are more places where images can be used.

Thanks for the loading screen. My computer is far from being state of art and I don't have to wonder anymore if I double clicked on the xyplorer icon or not. Now I can be sure that the loading is really happening.

v22.40.0213 - 2021-11-07 18:17
+ SC loadtree enhanced: Added "flags" parameter.
Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify], [flags]
flags: (bit field)
1: NoSelect (= do not trigger browsing the selected path after the tree is loaded)
Remarks:
Can be useful to avoid race conditions when loading a tree via a CEA script.
Seems like a small thing but I still like it a lot.

Code: Select all
+ Hover Box | Image: Now you can press "F" (frame) while the Hover Box is
showing an image to quickly cycle the width of the image frame between
three values: 0, 12, 24 pixels. The new factory default (also the value
for upgraders) is 0.
Coolness! Love the new zero-frame look.

Totally agree on that comment. No frame along with no stats, and when you want to see photo information, cycle the "S" key. It's like MDBU on hover - MHBU.

Thanks a bunch Don for removing the "Script Terminated by Esc" message box!
I use Esc like it's a vowel, so that box was getting in my way dozens of times a day, always breaking my workflow.
I don't miss it, not one bit!

Code: Select all
+ Added a tweak that allows you to zoom up the tooltips in the main window.
Coding for screen reader support put me in an accessibility flow. This
tweak can turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass. Example:
TooltipZoom=1.5
Allowed values are 1 through 4. Fractions are okay.
I like this tweak and it could be natural in UI.
The only thing i find strange about the tweak(and similar tweaks with fractions) is that example is
1.0 - 4.0(with dots) while user needs to use
1,0 - 4,0(with comas) = misleading.

Dots or commas, that depends on your locale. US English is XY's default locale.

Several years of browsing the forums and I just now ran into this topic, doh!
I wanted to say how delightfully quicker frequently recalculating folders sizes is for folders with a large amount of folders.

Code: Select all
+ Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability: Added
"Tooltip zoom (%)". Enter a percentage (100 - 400) that will be applied to
most tooltips (not the small ones e.g. on labels in Configuration). Can
turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass.
+ Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Backup settings
on save: Now ks.dat (keyboard shortcuts) and server.dat (cached servers)
are also backed up.
+ Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can define a separate script that's
triggered by the middle button.

Code: Select all
+ Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: Added tweak
MDBULoupeSpeed. Factory default is 100 (percent). This, for example, would make it
half as fast:
MDBULoupeSpeed=50
Note that only with value 100 the mouse up on the moved, blown up original (and
thereby closing it) will end up at the exact same point on the thumbnail.
* Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: The loupe speed
for MDBU on icons is now half as fast as before.
Thanks a lot for added "ShrinkToFitVirtualMonitor" and "MDBULoupeSpeed" tweaks. Allows me to resize only the vertical image, it feels very comfortable.
