v24.30.0119 - 2023-04-24 11:21
    % Scripting: Rewrote the speed booster added in v24.30.0113, this time it should work 
      better, and all the goodies are back:
      - Loading large script files over and over is now much faster.
      - Calling subs over and over in huge script resources is now much faster.
    ! Custom File Associations: On 20230121 a logic was implemented to open files in the default 
      browser when their path was a URL:
      - https:\\www.xyplorer.com\download\xyplorer_23.90.0429_beta.zip --> open in default browser
      - E:\Test\xyplorer_23.90.0429_beta.zip --> open in associated app
      However the new logic destroyed opening non-file-URLs in an associated browser:
      - https:\\www.xyplorer.com --> open in associated browser
      Fixed.

    + Hover Box: While the Hover Box is showing, you can now toggle key scrolling by 
      pressing the "K" key.
        K: Toggle key scrolling (i.e. scrolling with the navigation keys).
      FYI, scrollable Hover Boxes show either the textual contents of files, or the items 
      contained in folders.
      Factory default is off (you can still scroll by wheel).
      The main reason for this new setting is that you can now, when key scrolling is 
      disabled, begin moving a Mobile Hover Box also from a scrollable Hover Box.
    % Default Event Sounds: The sounds got another makeover.

    + Hover Box: Now while the Hover Box is showing, Ctrl+Space (toggle select) and 
      Shift+Space (pivot select) work as expected. Nice!
    * Mobile Hover Box: If a scrollable Hover Box is shown and you "K"-enable key 
      scrolling then this box becomes scrollable with keys (although Mobile Hover Boxes by 
      default suppress key scrolling).
    * Hover Box: Split key "R" in two, "L" and "R".
      OLD:
        R: Cycle scrolling/scaling (0=none,1=scroll text,2=scale image,3=both).
      NEW:
        L: Toggle scrolling (text; with wheel and keys).
        R: Toggle resizing (images; with wheel and keys).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.165.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.165.lng is uploaded.

Code: Select all

v24.30.0123 - 2023-04-25 17:00
    + Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree: Added option "Expand tree nodes on 
      drag-over". Tick it to auto-expand tree nodes when you drag stuff over them. Allows 
      you to drop the stuff into previously invisible subfolders. Factory default is ON.
      Raises tweak TreeExpandOnDragOver to UI.
    - Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Expand destination node in tree: 
      Removed that setting from Config but kept it as a tweak. It's a very old setting 
      (v4.50.0055 - 2006-03-30 19:05) that feels a bit weird today, the caption is 
      confusing users, it was off by default, it never worked in Mini Tree anyway by 
      design, and I needed the space.
      The tweak is:
        ExpandOnBrowse=1
    ! Auto-Refresh: The other pane was not auto-refreshed after a deletion when both panes 
      pointed to the same physical location, one real and one through a junction (Win10 
      and later only). Fixed.

    + Mobile Hover Box: The MHB navigation keys now also work when the focus is in the 
      Live Filter Box.
    ! List: The list could lose the input focus after an inline rename failed due to the 
      file being locked. Fixed.

      Bars and Tab Bars. Fixed.

    + Custom Copy: In the Overwrite and Error prompts, you can now use a small right-click 
      menu to copy the paths of the source and target files.
    + Scripting: Now you can copy arrays with a simple statement (appending [] to the 
      variable name is optional):
        $b[] = $a[];
        $b = $a; //$a is an array
      Example:  
        $a = array("cat", "dog", "skunk"); 
          $b = $a; $c = $b; 
          echo $a[0] . ", " . $b[1] . ", " . $c[2];           //cat, dog, skunk
          $c[2] = "horse"; $a = $c; echo implode($a, , ", "); //cat, dog, horse
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0219.

    % Portable Devices: Copying/Moving list items (by Edit | Copy To... and similar 
      commands) from a portable device to a hard disk should be notably faster now.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Folders only: If the

      would be done unnecessarily, wasting time. Fixed.

    + Event Sounds: Added one more, played when the clipboard is updated while XYplorer is 
      the top window, so usually when you copy or cut items or text to the clipboard, or 
      when you clear the clipboard.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Event                                     Default Sound     SC ces key
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Clipboard update                          ---               CLP
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Currently there is no default sound defined, so it's up to you to organize a sound 
      file and add it using SC ces().
    + Event Sounds: Now, just like normal rename operations, the Rename Special operations 
      will also trigger the "Item renamed" sound (once, after the whole batch has been 
      processed and at least one rename happened).
    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | New tab path: Now XY variables are 
      supported, eg <xydrive>.
    ! Color Filters: Since 20230428, a Color Filter with background color was fully hidden 
      by the selection rect in Details view if "Full name column select" was disabled. 
      Fixed. Now part of it is peeking out again on the right side.
    ! Document Preview: The fix from v24.30.0001 - 2023-04-13 17:36 had some undesired 
      side effects with certain PDF preview handlers. Should be fixed.
