v24.20.0526 - 2023-04-07 12:54
    * Custom Event Sounds: Rewrote the whole thing. There are 10 events now (totally 
      changed the internal order and added a new one), and some of them are set by factory 
      default to one of 4 internal sounds (the Default Event Sounds) using the *# syntax.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Event                                   Default Sound     SC ces key

        Foreground Copy/Move Done (Errors)      *2                FFOCE

        Background Copy/Move Done (Errors)      *2                BFOCE
        All Background Copy/Move Done                             ABFOC
        All Background Copy/Move Done (Errors)                    ABFOCE
        New Item Created                                          NEW

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The upgrade should work smoothly though since the INI keys use names, not numbers.
    + Default Event Sounds: Added one more (plop!), played when an item is deleted.
    + SC ces enhanced: Added another event.
      Syntax: ces(event, [soundfile], [threshold])
        event:
          abfoce: All Background Copy/Move Done (Errors).
      Example:
        ces("abfoce", "honk.wav"); //all back jobs done, there were errors
     + SC ces: Experimentally added a GUI access to Custom Event Sounds. Spare me bug 
       reports, I know it's still raw.
        ces(); //show "Edit Event Sounds" dialog

    + Network: Extended the support for WSL. Now "\\wsl.?*\" is accepted as valid 
      server name (?*\ stands for at least one following character before the next \).
    * Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Play a sound at the end

    % SC ces enhanced: Improved the "Edit Event Sounds" dialog.
        ces(); //show "Edit Event Sounds" dialog
      - Now the defined sound is played when you double-click the Event cell.
      - The dialog will move to Configuration once the feature is in a solid state.
    * Custom Event Sounds: Changes in terms and keys (incl INI keys this time):

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * Custom Event Sounds | FIND: The sound is not played anymore for Branch Views, nor on 
      switching toward a search results tab (I found that confusing).

v24.20.0536 - 2023-04-11 12:25
    + SC rename enhanced: Added a new value to the "flags" parameter for 
      "Process in reverse order".
      Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
                  [itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
        flags: (binary field, defaults to 1)
          256: Process in reverse order.
      Notes:
        - This flag is especially interesting when automatic increments are added when 
          renaming multiple items at the same time. It allows you to number the items from 
          the bottom up which is nice and natural when the list is sorted by Modified 
          descending.
      Examples:
        rename b, <clipboard>, p, , 256;  //Process in reverse order; preview
        rename b, <clp>, 4:=256;  //Process in reverse order
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.164.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.164.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:
        https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9648
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Miscellaneous | Tree | Optimize Tree: Error 9 (Subscript out of range) possible 
      under unclear conditions. Probably fixed.
    ! SC tab: The data (location) parameter on operation "new" did not support relative 
      path syntax. Fixed.

Direct Download: https://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_full.zip
Download Page: https://www.xyplorer.com/download.php
Release Notes: https://www.xyplorer.com/release.php

Code: Select all

v24.30.0000 - 2023-04-12 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Event Sounds. Tired of staring at a progress bar until a file operation is finally 
      finished? Starting from this version you can have a short sound playing that tells 
      you when the operation is finished and if it was finished successfully.
      There is also a pop sound for deletes, which are usually instantaneous. This was 
      added just for fun. You may find that completing an operation with a sonic event 
      generally gives you a strange sense of primal satisfaction.
  +++ Custom Event Sounds. If you don't like the default sounds, and/or have better ones, 
      you can easily add them to the soundscape. Yes, you can have the application play an 
      entire song when your backup is complete.
  +++ Background Dragging. Now you can drag files from a background XYplorer window to 
      another application window in the foreground. A long awaited feature is finally 
      implemented.
  +++ Go Now. If you're a habitual scripter, you'll love the new ability to launch a 
      script from the address bar with a keyboard shortcut of your choice.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

v24.30.0001 - 2023-04-13 17:36
    + Hover Box: Now you can move the Hover Box to another item using the arrow keys 
      (Left, Right, Up, Down, PageUp, PageDown).
      Conditions:
        - Hover Box is currently showing.
        - But it's not showing a text preview and Hover Box scrolling is enabled (in that 
          case those keys control the scrolling).
      What works:
        - The mouse pointer will magically jump from item to item and update the Hover Box 
          accordingly.
        - Supports all list views.
        - Automatically scrolls the list as needed.
      What doesn't yet work:  
        - Keys Home and End.
        - PageUp and PageDown do nothing when no more scrolling can happen.
        - PageUp and PageDown in non-Details views.
      Notes:
        - If you repeat too fast (while the Hover Box is still loading a new preview) you 
          will break the magic since it ONLY works if the Hover Box is currently showing.
    % Document Preview: Some preview handlers steal the application focus. Now XY steals 
      it back.
    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Auto-optimize tree: Error 9 
      (Subscript out of range) was possible on systems (or accounts) without a Links 
      special folder. Fixed.
    ! Edit | Compare | Compare Current File with Previous File: Error 6 (Overflow) when 
      comparing two files larger than 2GB. Fixed.

      Examples:

    + SC gettokenindex enhanced: Added an optional start parameter.
      Syntax: gettokenindex(token, tokenlist, [separator=|], [flags=iw], [start=1]);
        start:  Token index from which to start searching. The index returned is still 
                relative to the beginning of the tokenlist.
                Defaults to 1 (= 1st index).
      Examples:
        echo gettokenindex("e", "a,b,e,d,e", ",");      //3
        echo gettokenindex("e", "a,b,e,d,e", ",", , 3); //3
        echo gettokenindex("e", "a,b,e,d,e", ",", , 4); //5
        echo gettokenindex("e", "a,b,e,d,e", ",", , 5); //5
        echo gettokenindex("e", "a,b,e,d,e", ",", , 6); //0 (not found)
    ! SC gettokenindex: Ignored separators that were within quotes. Fixed. Doesn't do it 
      anymore since SC gettoken doesn't do it either.
        echo gettokenindex("e", "a,b,c"",""d,e", ","); // 5
