Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version:

Code: Select all

v24.30.0101 - 2023-04-16 17:57
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: Conf
      Action: Sets or gets certain settings otherwise only accessible through GUI.
      Syntax: conf([setting], [value1], [value2])
        setting: Setting to configure. Currently implemented:
                 middletruncation: = "Truncate filenames in the middle"
                 sortheadersalways: = "Show sort headers in all views"
        value1: 1st value.
                empty: Toggle values 0/1.
                missing: Only return the current value.
        value2: 2nd value, used for toggling value1/value2.
        return: Current value.   
      Remarks: It's the official bro of the unofficial tweak().
      Examples for middletruncation:
        echo conf("middletruncation");  //get (value is also shown in status bar)
        conf("middletruncation");       //get (value is shown in status bar)
        conf("middletruncation", 1);    //set
        conf("middletruncation", 0);    //unset
        conf("middletruncation", 0, 1); //toggle 0/1
        conf("middletruncation", "");   //toggle 0/1, alt syntax
      Examples for sortheadersalways:
        conf("sortheadersalways", 0, 1); //toggle 0/1
        etc ...
    - Scripting removed SC middletruncation (added v20.90.0807 - 2020-08-15 16:00). 
      Replaced by conf("middletruncation").        
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Truncate filenames in the 
      middle: Now this setting also affects the printing of filenames in the Hover Box 
      status area.
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Truncate filenames in the 
      middle: Now this setting also affects the printing of multiline filenames in 
      thumbnails views.
    + Moving Hover Box: All the still missing key actions work now, except in List view.
    * Moving Hover Box: Now the arrow key driven Hover Box omits the initial delay of the 
      the mouse driven Hover Box (Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box 
      | Initial delay in milliseconds) and updates instantly.
    % Moving Hover Box: Now key repetition works without losing the box. Brilliant, killer. 
    ! Moving Hover Box: Did not work when the focus was in the Address Bar or any other 
      edit box. 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.

Code: Select all

v24.30.0102 - 2023-04-17 11:03
    + Miscellaneous | Focus Functions: Added command "Trigger Mouse Move". Triggers a fake 
      mouse move at the current mouse position. Allows you, for example, to open a Hover 
      Box or File Info Tip using the keyboard if the current mouse position is suitable.
      FYI, I personally assigned Shift+Esc to it (to reverse HB-hiding Esc).
    + Hover Box: Now you can press SPACE while the Hover Box is showing to select the 
      currently hovered item. This allows you to display it in a larger preview area, for 
      example, or to open it (ENTER) without using the mouse.
    + Moving Hover Box: Now it also works in the back pane.
    + Moving Hover Box: Now all key actions also work in List view.
    ! Moving Hover Box: Fixed some glitches with key actions.

      later due to subtle changes in the dark art of message queue sequencing. Fixed.

v24.30.0105 - 2023-04-18 14:41
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: PreviewCheck
      Action: Checks various ways to preview a file and displays a final report.
      Syntax: previewcheck [file]
        file: Full path of file to preview.
              Defaults to the currently focused file.
      Remarks:
        It auto-walks through all modes supported by SC preview.
      Example:
        previewcheck; //check the currently focused file
    ! Moving Hover Box: Some minor refinements to the key actions.
    ! List: PageUp/PageDown had a small error that made it take a different course when 
      going back up after going down. Fixed. Now the behavior is correct and perfectly in 
      sync with the Moving Hover Box key actions.

    + Default Event Sounds: Added one more, played when a prompt (overwrite on collision, 
      or some error) is shown during a Custom Copy file operation. It's a boing!
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Event                                     Default Sound     SC ces key
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        File operation prompt                     *5                FOP
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Currently implemented for foreground operations only. Background later.
    * Window | Show Status Bar: Now, if you hide the Status Bar, the Live Filter Box will 
      also disappear if it is in the Status Bar (Window | Arrangement | Live Filter Box in 
      Status Bar).
      Previously, it remained visible in an otherwise empty Status Bar.
    ! Event Sounds | Item renamed: Was wrongly played when a folder was intra-volume 
      moved. Fixed.

v24.30.0107 - 2023-04-19 14:57
    + Custom Event Sounds: Experimentally now also MP3 files are supported. The very first 
      call might take a little because the decoder has to be loaded and initialized.
    + Event Sounds: Now also played for Undo/Redo operations.
    + Default Event Sounds: FOP (File Operation Prompt) is now also played for background 
      operations.
    * Hover Box: Previously, if a Hover Box wasn't possible because there was no preview 
      for this file type, or the file type was excluded form preview by user settings, or 
      the preview failed, the fallback strategy was to show the File Info Tip instead. Not 
      anymore. A fallback should change the method, not the goal. So now you see a Hover 
      Box that tells you about the situation.
    * Mobile Hover Box: As a welcome side effect of the previous change, moving the Hover 
      Box will no longer be interrupted by items that, for whatever reason, do not show a 
      preview in the box.
    * Mobile Hover Box: Now when a scrollable Hover Box is opened by navigation key 
      action, it will not be scrollable by navigation key but only by wheel. That way 
      moving the Hover Box will no longer be interrupted by items that show a scrollable 
      Hover Box.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0218.
    ! SC previewcheck: Some failures were falsely reportet as successes. Fixed.
    ! Thumbnails: Some formats, eg CLIP, did not get any thumbnails. Fixed.

    ! Paper Folders: Since 20220531, deleting (really, from the file system) one or more 
      items in a Paper Folder would empty the whole list instead of just removing the 
      deleted item(s). Just a drawing glitch, but a shocking one. Fixed.

v24.30.0109 - 2023-04-20 12:34
    + Custom Event Sounds: Experimentally now all audio formats are supported that 
      Quartz.dll (aka DirectX) can play. For example: *.aac; *.ac3; *.aif; *.aiff; *.ape; 
      *.asf; *.au; *.flac; *.m4a; *.mid; *.mp3; *.mp4; *.mpc; *.ogg; *.opus; *.rm; *.ts; 
      *.wav; *.wma      
    + Custom Event Sounds: You now can also specify system event sounds. The event label, 
      eg SystemAsterisk, has to be prefixed with *.
      Example:
        ces("REN", "*SystemAsterisk");  //play "SystemAsterisk" after a rename
      Note:
        Event labels can be found in your registry here:
          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\
    > Tip: To stop any playing Custom Event Sound, you can use this command:
        sound ""; //stop any sound
      Also any new Custom Event Sound will stop the previous one.
    + SC sound: Also this command now supports all audio formats that Quartz.dll (aka 
      DirectX) can play.
        sound "E:\Test\Media\Audio\Two Channel Audio\ff-16b-2c-44100hz.flac";        
    * Hover Box: Revised the recent changes (v24.30.0107). I had forgotten about the 
      option to actively disable the hover box for certain file types. I now restored the 
      previous way for normal mouse-triggered HBs, and kept the new way only for 
      key-triggered HBs.
    ! Thumbnails: Error 6 (overflow) possible with certain EXIF data. Fixed.
    ! Custom File Icons: Links to folders should get the same CFI as the target folder. 
      Fixed.

    + View | Tab | Rename Tab...: Now you can assign icons extracted from icon resources 
      (exe; dll; cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm).
      The icon is appended to the (optional) name after a | (pipe). Examples:
        Charlie|%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /160
        |C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll /160
    + SC extlist enhanced: Added another list, raising it from tweak to semi-tweak.
      Syntax: extlist(type, [extensionlist], [switches])
        type: Which extension list to customize.
          HoverBoxSkip: File types for which no Hover Box should be displayed. 
      Examples:
        echo extlist("HoverBoxSkip", "?");  //show current Hover Box Skip file extensions
        extlist("HoverBoxSkip", "ai.eps.svg");  //set Hover Box Skip to these extensions
        extlist("HoverBoxSkip", "");  //reset any Hover Box Skip extensions
    + Content Search: Now the number of files for which the IFilter could not extract any 
      text (either because the IFilter could not be loaded or because the file contained 
      no extractable text) is displayed in the final status bar report when the search is 
      completed.
      A detailed search log is planned.
    ! SC extlist: Resetting all extensions by passing "" did not work. Fixed.
    ! SC extlist: The new a/r switches were implemented only for thumbs64. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Allow zombies in the 
      Mini Tree: If enabled, encrypted folders were not recognized as such in the 
      Mini Tree on startup, so they lacked the lock icon overlay in Win10 and later, and 
      also lacked any color filter on the ENCRYPTED file attribute. Fixed.
    ! Custom File Icons: Custom icons defined for all folders were not applied to 
      encrypted folders. Fixed.
