    + Drag and Drop: Experimentally you can now fake a right-drag-drop by holding down 
      CTRL and SHIFT while doing a left-drag-drop. That way you can have the Drag and Drop 
      context menu on left-drag-drop, which is pretty cool in some hardware and software 
      contexts.
      Applies to drops on Tree, List, Catalog, Breadcrumbs, and Tabs.
    ! Floating Preview: Scrolling through files by wheel, and with "Zoom by Wheel" turned 
      off, failed with Text, Office, Web, Font, and Icon files. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Sometimes needed two clicks to open. Fixed.

:!!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns: Added option "Use empty cell 
      defaults". Tick it to use certain default values for certain empty cells in the 
      list. The actual values can be freely configured under the button "Configure...".
      To handle this I created a new type of interface, a list with editable cell 
      values. This will come in handy in other places as well.
      To edit a value either click into the cell, or select an item and press F2. Serial 
      rename by Up/Down is supported.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Cell          Factory Default   Description               INI Key
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Ext (Folder)  <DIR>             Ext column for folders    ListEmptyCellExtDir
        Ext (File)                      Ext column for files      ListEmptyCellExtFile
        Size          --                Size column               ListEmptyCellSize
        Other         --                All other columns         ListEmptyCellOther
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Obviously, empty cell defaults only apply to Details views.

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v24.00.0704 - 2023-02-11 14:37
    + Custom Event Actions: Added a new event "After file operation" to the new section 
      "File Operations". It is fired when a file operation, including refresh of the 
      current listings, is complete. The summary report window of a Custom Copy/Move might 
      still be showing at this time.
      Supported file operations are "Move", "Copy", "Delete", "Backup", "CustomCopy", 
      "CustomMove", "Sync". Note that "Rename" and "New" are currently not among them.
      The only possible action is "Run Script". The following new variables can be used in 
      the script:
        <CEA_FileOp>          //type of operation (always in English)
        <CEA_SourcePath>      //source path, without trailing slash
        <CEA_TargetPath>      //target path, without trailing slash
        <CEA_SourceList>      //list of source items, |-separated
        <CEA_TargetList>      //list of target items, |-separated
      Proof of concept script (paste into Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | 
      After file operation | Script):
        text <<<DOC
        File Operation: <CEA_FileOp>
        Source Path: <CEA_SourcePath>
        Target Path: <CEA_TargetPath>
        Source List: <CEA_SourceList>
        Target List: <CEA_TargetList>
          DOC;
      Notes:
      - You can use this event for example to do automatic check-ups after file operations 
        and display status messages, or do some automated logging, or play a sound after a 
        file operation has completed.
      - I would not recommend to run follow-up file operations from the script because you 
        might run into recursion issues.
      - It's recommended to use this CEA only with XYplorer's Custom Copy/Move, 
        because the standard Windows Shell Copy/Move has a somewhat unreliable status 
        notification system where you cannot be totally sure whether an operation actually 
        took place or was skipped or canceled, or which items have been renamed to avoid 
        collisions, and all of this varies between Windows versions, brilliant (the same 
        issue also affects Undo/Redo).

    + Custom Event Actions | Exit: Now you can have the script cancel the exit process and 
      keep the app open. To do this call the special new scripting command cancelexit, for 
      example like this:
        if (confirm("Exit app?") == 0) {cancelexit;}
      SC cancelexit does nothing visible when called, but when the script is completed, 
      the app will stay open. Useful for prompts on exit.
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: CancelExit
      Action: Lets you cancel the exit process and keep the app open.
      Syntax: cancelexit
      Remarks:
        Only effective in the "Custom Event Actions | Exit" script.
      Example:
        if (confirm("Exit app?") == 0) {cancelexit;}
    * Custom Event Actions | After file operation: Replaced variable <CEA_TimeSecs> by the 
      more precise <CEA_TimeMsecs>:
        <CEA_TimeMsecs>        //total duration of the operation in milliseconds
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0213.

v24.00.0707 - 2023-02-14 13:13
  +++ Extra Columns: Added a new column type "Image". If you specify any of the image 
      types BMP, GIF, PNG, JFIF, JPG, JPEG, JPE as column data (via right-clicking the 
      cell), those images are displayed right in the cell. This is quite something! It 
      opens up a world of possibilities. For example, you can now attach waveform images 
      (created by some 3rd party app) to WAV files, and have them shown right in the list. 
      And not only one. You can have a couple of Extra/Image columns, each with its own 
      image. So here we are: Image Columns!
      Notes:
      - The images can be resized on-the-fly just by changing the column width.
      - Of course, if you want to see more than very tiny miniatures, you need some row 
        height. Currently the best way to achieve an acceptable row height is by using the 
        "Details with Thumbnails" view.
      - There is no caching for those images. They are always live. So you can increase 
        performance by providing not too large source images.
      - These images have no Hover Box or MDBU.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - help file status quo - - -
    * Updated the help file.
    ! SC setthumb: Injecting a thumbnail into an existing cache could mess up the cache if 
      the new image was larger than the original. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: The status info in Hover Boxes for injected thumbnails was referring to 
      the original image while showing the injected image. Fixed. Now the status also 
      refers to the injected image. Only relevant if deep injection is set, see SC setthumb.

    + Custom Columns: Added column format "Image". Via variables in the template you can 
      now define a column to show images in a systematic relation to each listed file. 
      Perfect e.g. for waveform images whose filename matches the wave filename (e.g. 
      "<cc_path><cc_base>.png").
    + Image Columns: Now the images support the Hover Box. Awesome.

    % Image Columns: Better speed. Now each image file is read from disk only once per 
      listing, then kept in memory until the location changes or is refreshed.
    ! Hover Box on Image Columns: Resize did not work as it should. Fixed.

    % Image Columns: Again MUCH better speed. The display size of images in columns is now 
      limited to 400 x 100 (width x height) which makes the rendering pretty fluid even 
      with a greater number of images, especially notable where the original images are 
      large. The use of memory was also greatly reduced.
    * Image Columns: To show the Hover Box here you now have to tick "Tiles and 
      Thumbnails" in "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show 
      Hover Box | Select Context...".

    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Empty Cell Defaults. If you suffer from fear of the void you will be glad that this 
      version offers easy ways to fill the void. The marking of the different types of 
      emptiness can actually serve a better overview.
  +++ Fake Right-Drag-and-Drop. Now you can fake a right-drag-and-drop by holding down 
      CTRL and SHIFT while doing a left-drag-and-drop. That way you can have the 
      drag-and-drop context menu on left-drag-and-drop, which is pretty cool in limited

    * Virtual Folders: Now pasting into Virtual Folders is allowed if the Virtual Folder 
      has one common path (if all its items are in the same location). Obviously pasting 
      then goes into this path.
    * Startup.ini: From now on it is distributed in UTF-16LE-BOM encoding.
    ! Admin Settings | TagsList: You could bypass the TagsList restrictions using "Tags | 
      Add Last Tags" if the LastTags key still contained other tags from a previous 
      session. Fixed.

v24.10.0002 - 2023-02-18 11:22
    + Virtual Folders: Now you can enforce a check for existence on all listed items. This 
      is useful for commands the return potentially stale data, for example:
        vi:<get list_recentlyopenedfiles>
      To enforce a check for existence prefix the new switch "e" surrounded by | like this:
        vi:|e|<get list_recentlyopenedfiles>
      Notes:
        - URLs and scripts will always pass the test.
    ! SC strpos: Other than stated in the docs, an empty needle returned 0 instead of -1. 
      Fixed. Example:
        echo strpos("abcAbc", "");    // -1 (not found)
    ! List: Secondary sorting scrambled the primary sort order if it was a date column and 
      tweak SortSecondaryByExactDate=0 (which is factory default). Fixed by using 
      BubbleSort for the secondary sorting in this case.
    ! List: Secondary sorting scrambled the secondary sort order if it was a date column and 
      tweak SortSecondaryByExactDate=0 (which is factory default). This was due to an 
      internal tertiary sorting by Name. Fixed by ignoring SortSecondaryByExactDate=0 in 
      this case.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars: Could get geometrically confused after waking up from hibernation 
      in a multi-monitor setup. Fixed.
