Oh, only now I saw that you do not only log every official release but every single BETA release. Well, you found a way to keep yourself busy...admin wrote:http://xyplorer.blogspot.com/
Really good, I do hope you get lots of interest. May I also suggest it is an opportunity to mention your own special feature(s) that make XY for you such a great program. Maybe feature of the month udate!
Yes, I decided that it would best to show all the versions...I know it's a fair amount of work, and I unfortunately can not guarantee that I'll be able to maintain it up to date constantly, so I'd like to be able to have a couple of alternate users/ID's who could maintain it also...like Don and Jacky...admin wrote:Oh, only now I saw that you do not only log every official release but every single BETA release.

Will be a good promotion for the XYperience...
And THANKS for the compliments! I think it may also provide an easy method to notify users of updates of changes without having to read the Beta thread here, via RSS and/or email...Which dates are you referring to?lukescammell wrote:Very cool - but can I suggest you use the international date standard for your date formatting? Since XY is used internationally this would be most friendly. It took me a few moments to figure out what the hell those dates were!

The individual postings use the actual text as shown in History (Which I also find a bit confusing), and the archive headings don't give (as I see it) much of a choice, so I'm somewhat limited there...I have planned a highlight-on-feature-X or feature-of-the-month section on my website since long. The day is short...graham wrote:May I also suggest it is an opportunity to mention your own special feature(s) that make XY for you such a great program. Maybe feature of the month udate!
Ok...I guess I could do some more editing (lukescammell wrote:For example

Oh, and in case it wasn't mentioned before JC, that is some fantastic work you've done. Keep it up
) of the History.txt data before I post it to blog... 
Glad you like it! I spend about 8 hrs last nite working on it...was up until 5:30am as got so involved, I didn't stop at my normal 4am bedtime..Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm using YYYY-MM-DD everywhere ever since, in XY's source code comments, in my file system in dated folder and file names, in my Date columns. The only place I do not use it is my DateTime macro (Alt+1 -> one of my most pressed key combos!) in UltraEdit. I've written that macro maybe 10 years ago and never changed it. I don't know why. Partial date format blindness or so. And, of course, I use UltraEdit to write the XY history.lukescammell wrote:For example

Basically, the international date format is YYYY-MM-DD. It has a wonderful logic to it (so Don, you should love it, being German) and it means you can tell both Europeans, Americans and just about everyone else to piss off when they bitch abut it not being in their localised format
Well, it took me a lot longer to manually edit all 19 blog posts to match this new YYYY-MM-DD format, but I just finished it! Hope you're happy, luke!admin wrote:I just changed the macro - a work of 5 seconds.
I will write a short routine to convert the whole History.txt. I'll let you all know when done...

Ok...but...it wasn't a clickable "mailto:" like it appears on XY site, but just a text form...I think it also exists in more places on web that are more hazardous, but in any case, I yanked it...admin wrote:Could you remove my email address, please. Phishing...
Text like this is phishable. However, the clickable mailto: link on the XY is not! How's that? Well, I also know a little JavaScript... check the source code of http://www.xyplorer.com/contact.htmj_c_hallgren wrote:Ok...but...it wasn't a clickable "mailto:" like it appears on XY site, but just a text form...I think it also exists in more places on web that are more hazardous, but in any case, I yanked it...admin wrote:Could you remove my email address, please.
