Code: Select all

v27.20.1210 - 2026-04-20 16:14
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Point to select | To the 
      icon only: Added tweak that extends it to thumbnails:
        PointToSelectThumb=1
      If "To the icon only" if off, the tweak limits it to thumbnails.
    ! Hover Box: Jumping to the next Hover Box by arrow keys did not work when the mouse 
      cursor was over the current Hover Box and "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, 
      Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered items" was disabled.
      Fixed again. The previous fix (v27.20.1202 - 2026-04-10 15:39) interfered with 
      gesture apps.
    ! SC backupto, SC sync: The "filter" parameter excluded all subfolders if it contained 
      any file patterns. Fixed. Now, for example, the filter "*.bas|*.ini|*.txt|-appdata\" 
      only allows BAS, INI, and TXT files to pass through, as well as all folders except 
      those called "appdata", just as expected.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0292.

    + Hover Box: The Hover Box of "This PC" now provides a graphical overview of the used 
      and available storage space on each drive.
    ! Toolbar: Layout could break under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | New Bookmark: Adding a drive from the "This PC" list resulted in a 
      dysfunctional bookmark. Fixed.

v27.20.1212 - 2026-04-21 20:24
    * Used-Space Bars: If anything is used, no matter how little, you'll now see the 
      minimum amount of blue (one pixel wide) drawn on the bar. Previously, a very small 
      amount was rounded down to nothing.
    ! Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: If disabled (i.e. toolbar 
      and address bar side by side in one row), a large address bar font could break the 
      layout. Fixed.

v27.20.1213 - 2026-04-22 11:45
    + Opening Overlong Items: Added tweak to always convert to DOS 8.3 before opening 
      items with overlong filenames.
        OpenOverlongForceDOS83=1
      Notes:
      - This will help some older apps to open items with overlong filenames, but newer 
        apps may have problems with it.
      - Some Windows systems don't support DOS 8.3 anymore, so the conversion won't happen.
      - Modern Windows is usually LongPathAware, so DOS 8.3 is no longer necessary.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail: Refined the 
      changes of v28.30.0201 - 2026-04-13 15:36. Now the icon is drawn on non-thumbnails 
      only if the "Single-click to open an item" or "Point to select" option is selected 
      along with the "Icon only" option.
    ! Hover Box: Jumping to the next Hover Box by arrow keys did not work when the mouse 
      cursor was over the current Hover Box and "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, 
      Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered items" was disabled.
      Fixed #3. The previous fix had the disadvantage of making the Hover Box a disabled 
      window, which screenshot apps could not capture as an entire window.

    + Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous: Added option "Convert 
      overlong paths to 8.3 format when opening files". Select this option to convert 
      paths longer than 259 characters to the old DOS-compatible 8.3 format when opening 
      files. Some opening applications still require this, even on modern Windows systems.

v27.20.1219 - 2026-04-27 17:45
    + Custom Columns: Command ">draw.bar" enhanced. Added optional "text" and "colortext"
      parameters, providing a way to print text onto the bar.
        >draw.bar [percentage=50], [colorleft], [colorright], [opacity=224], _
                  [borderwidth=0]|[text]|[colortext]
      Notes:
      - Pipe | is used a field separator to allow commas in the text.
      - The text color defaults to the list text color in light mode (usually that's black).
      - The text is horizontally and vertically centered.
      - Autosize columns ignores this text.
      Example:
      Here is a sample script that draws bars according to the file size. Color are used 
      to distinguish 4 size groups: green < 1KB, yellow < 1MB, red < 1GB, purple 1GB or more.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      $size = "<cc_size>";
      switch (true){
        case $size == 0:          return ''; // draw nothing
        case $size < 1024:        return '>draw.bar ' . 100 * $size \ 1024 . ', 66CC66, BBEEBB|' . formatbytes($size);        //smaller 1 KB
        case $size < 1048576:     return '>draw.bar ' . 100 * $size \ 1048576 . ', FFBB00, FFEE88|' . formatbytes($size);     //smaller 1 MB
        case $size < 1073741824:  return '>draw.bar ' . 100 * $size \ 1073741824 . ', DD4444, FFAAAA|' . formatbytes($size);  //smaller 1 GB
        default:                  return '>draw.bar ' . 100 * $size \ 1099511627776 . ', DD44AA, FFAADD|' . formatbytes($size);  //1 GB or more

      control the horizontal alignment of the printed text.
