%%% Live Filter Box: Now the listed items are actually filtered in memory. Previously,
the file system had to be rescanned for each new filter (including removing the
current filter). Obviously, live filtering is much faster now. This is especially
noticeable when filtering search results across deep subfolders, which used to
trigger a whole new search. Not anymore. Awesome!
I welcome all the enhancements that move from actual I/O operations to RAM, and since Live Filter one of much used features - that's the great upgrade!

I did not expect it, but I now use both, the old red and new green Exit button, regularly. Very handy for development.

v26.40.0401 - 2024-10-05 12:17
+ Custom File Icons: Added another special switch /n to match all branches that do not
contain files, but may contain folders:
*\ /n><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGray.ico //matches all branches without files
So there is now another content-based folder icon in addition to the three that
already exist:
*\ /e>XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
*\ /f>XYicon_FolderFilled.ico //matches all filled folders
*\ /x>XYicon_FolderDenied.ico //matches all inaccessible folders
Notes:
- If no /e (empty) icon is defined, /n (nofiles) will also match empty folders,
otherwise the empty icon will win.
The order of the definitions is irrelevant to the above.
- Of course, determining that a deep branch contains no files can take a while. So
use this switch responsibly.
Thank you so much! This will make my life at work considerably easier, since many colleagues often just create branches of empty folders, I assume as structural templates, and I am left with the task to figure out if there is a document already saved somewhere in that branch or not.
The indicator with the blue folder icon is immensely helpful. (Could also be done with visual filters, but the folder icon is is much better suited for this.)

*\ /t><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGreen.ico //matches all branches with tagged items
I've being using CFI for setting custom icons for specific "special" folders for years, plus used some file types, but never used "global" folder icons changing, till these switches got on board. Really helpful, especially if Visual Filters already over-used for other filtering criteria.
The only drawback left for me is that my tab bar now looks distracting = before it was only same colour tabs with few manually set, now it's all "rainbow". I'd wish there be a tweak to influence only Folder-CFI-switches, setting which elements of XY UI show them while others don't.

Hey Don,
I regularly copy files from my DL-Folder to a specific App-Specific Folder… Just remembered that you can set Locations for active
and inactive panes. Now I've got my dual locations stored in my Catalog, and whenever I download new files for my App, I just hit that Catalog entry and both panes switch to the folders I need.
Thanks.
Code: Select all
Location: "Active Pane Path" || "Inactive Pane Path"

Not new, but still part of a great feature: Just by chance (bug reproduction) I've started a fresh instance in dark mode.
Man, the default dark color scheme is lovely. Now it's my default too.

v26.90.0003 allows combining "location" and "live filter" for easy one-liners especially handy in scripting.

v27.20.0201 - 2025-11-05 20:20
* Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters | Draw background colors as wide
as the column: This setting now controls the width of background colors *independently*
of the "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, and Usability | Mouse | Full Name
Column Select" setting. In other words: You can now have color filters just as wide
as the caption while "Full Name Column Select" is enabled. This makes the
distinction between a color filter and a selection rectangle clearer.
If a background-color-filtered file is selected you still see a bit of the color
filter to the right of the selection rectangle.
Useful addition.

+ Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: Added a bit of color coding to make the situation
easier to grasp.
- Size of the copied file is smaller: red
Size of the copied file is larger: blue
- Date of the copied file is older: red
Date of the copied file is newer: blue
So blue lines are usually okay whereas red lines might need your attention.
Very nice and very helpful.
I would like to suggest that if the fonts used were bold as (on my monitor) it's a little difficult to see if it's blue or red.

I like these additions, but really would wish them to have tweak for colors = in my system of associations, Red is always new/hot, while Blue is old/cold.
