Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v23.90.0201 - 2022-12-27 14:15
    + Native Context Menu: Experimentally the "Open" command is now also shown for folders 
      (not just for files). In a typical setup, selecting this command should open folders 
      in Windows File Explorer.
    ! File | Properties: Since 20221226 this command did not work anymore for folders in 
      the tree. Fixed.
    ! Native Context Menu: In the tree, the Metadata command acted on the current tree 
      folder instead of the right-clicked one. Fixed.
    ! Tools | List Management: Since 20221203, the New button incorrectly placed the new 
      item at the end of the list under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Properties: Timestamp boxes were too high. Fixed.
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

:!!: 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 | Information | Report & Data | Output file options: Added setting 
      "Encoding" with 5 options to choose from: 
      - ANSI (the actual encoding, e.g. Windows-1252, depends on the active codepage)
      - UFT-8
      - UFT-8 BOM
      - UFT-16 LE
      - UFT-16 LE BOM (factory default and previously hard-coded)

    ! Folder Size Calculation: Since the "Check existence of subfolders" optimization in 
      v23.90.0007 - 2022-12-22 12:59, calculating folder sizes on startup got mixed up 
      with the "Check existence of subfolders" process creating a confusing situation in 
      the status bar. Now it's done one after the other, first check existence of 
      subfolders, then calculate folder sizes for pane 1 and 2 (if necessary). Both 
      processes can be aborted by ESC.

v23.90.0204 - 2022-12-29 18:35
    + Native Context Menu: Added a second open command, "Open by Shell". It will open the 
      selected items exactly as if they were opened via the Shell Context Menu. Especially 
      when using Custom File Associations, you now have quick access to two alternative 
      open commands.
      Note that even if both commands point to the same opening application, there may be 
      subtle (and undocumented by Microsoft) differences in the opening process.
    * Configuration | Information | Report & Data | Info Panel / Report: Rearranged.
    * Tools | Customize List | Date Column Format: When switching the date column format, 
      "Show Age" was automatically set to unchecked. Not anymore.
    ! Native Context Menu: Wrong Open status for tree folders. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips: With 
      factory default settings the Name line was shown twice since 20221201. Fixed.

      pitch black in preview where parts of the background are visible. Fixed.

    + Help | Various Information: If Admin Settings (usually Admin.ini) were read and 
      used, you now find the path to the used file under "Admin Settings:".
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Hold Ctrl to 
      invert the above selection: From now on this setting only makes a difference in the 
      file list. In the folder tree CTRL / rocker-click will always invert the menu 
      setting. This is possible because in the tree there is no competition with "Hold 
      Ctrl to show cell context menu".

    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | File List...: 
      Now, the "Copy Path" command is accompanied by a "Copy Virtual Path" command, if 
      applicable. It will copy e.g. "Desktop\EnglishBritish.zip" instead of 
      "C:\Users\Donald\Desktop\EnglishBritish.zip".

    + SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can pre-check all checkboxes.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], [cancel], _
              [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselect], [icon])

         32768 = Pre-check all checkboxes.
      Examples:
        text inputselect("Select Food", "Soup|Cheese|+Cake",, 2); //Cake pre-checked
        text inputselect("Select Food", "Soup|Cheese|+Cake",, 2+32768); //all pre-checked
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability | Show verbatim 
      tooltips: Since 20220810 it did not work in the tree anymore. Fixed.
    ! Tiles Views: When copying text from the inline rename field, that item's tile data 
      disappeared from the list. Funny little bug. Fixed.
    ! Paper Folders: Refreshing (F5) a search result list from a Paper Folder search reset 
      the list to the current tree folder instead of the Paper Folder. Fixed.

    + Variables: Added a new date variable to extract the shell property "Media created" 
      from media files: <datemedia>. Syntactically it can do everything <dateexif> can do.
      Remarks:
        The data is pulled from the Shell Extended Property System.Media.DateEncoded, 
        which stores the date in UTC. The <datemedia> variable silently converts the date 
        to your local time zone.
      Examples:
        echo <datemedia>;       // 11/1/2020 5:26:07 PM
        echo <datemedia yyyy>;  // 2015
      To set the created date of all selected items to their "media created" date, you can 
      do this (note that the single quotes are essential here, otherwise all items get the 
      date of the focused item):
        timestamp c, '<datemedia>'; //set created date of all selected items to their "media created" date

    ! Lic.ini: Since probably 20221211 Lic.ini was only read and used when Admin.ini was

v23.90.0401 - 2023-01-04 18:03
    + Tabs: Added a tweak that effectively allows you to start each session with the same 
      tabs, regardless of what changes you made to the tabs during the last session.
        TabsetsExplicitSaveOnly=1
      As the name suggests, the tweak protects the current tabset from changes made by 
      "Save Configuration". Now the only way to change the current tabset permanently 
      (i.e. on disk) is the command Tabsets | Save.
      If I find a catchy name for it, I'll add it to UI soon.
    * Live Filter Boxes: Changed the icon from "looking glass" to "filter" in all small 
      dialogs. In the main Live Filter Box this has been done already in v19.30.0007 - 
      2018-11-02 17:11.
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Help File: Fixed countless little errors.
