Behaviour till 16.80.0005
Code: Select all
global $a = "hello world";
text $a; //hello world
Behaviour since 16.80.0006
Code: Select all
global $a = "hello world";
text $a; // "hello world"
I think the new behaviour is unexpected and certainly not standard.

permavars too.
Code: Select all
$a = "normal var";
perm $b = "perma var";
global $c = "global var";
echo $a . <crlf> . $b . <crlf> . $c;

The good thing is that "Scripting | Syntax Checking" caught it.
Well, I caught it, too. Upload soon.

Jeez I completely overlooked this somehow! Thanks for mentioning, I ticked it immediately.

Fixed, thanks!
PS: in the changelog you mentioned some code cleanup. Any chance you can do something for the executable size as well? It's more a curiosity than a real necessity, however I couldn't help but notice the steady size increase of XYplorer.exe over the months.

It got 60 KB smaller thanks to the code cleanup. But, of course, more features come with bigger EXEs. But hey, isn't it wonderfully small compared to a) what the app can do, and b) the size of other apps nowadays that can do just one or two tricks?

[rant]Tell me about it.
NodeWebkit being adopted by many
web-based cross-platform app builders, and now Atom/VSCode popularizing Electron -- suddenly every little app brings a whole ~40mb webbrowser environment with it: a markdown viewer, *a clipboard manager*, console utility frontends - the list goes on and on. Need an alarm clock? Download a browser. Need a calculator? download a browser.
Not to mention the startup time is superfast -- not mentioning that, cause that's false.[/rant]
