v6.10.0087 - 2007-08-11 13:00

• + Toolbar: added buttons for
  - "Preview". Works exactly as menu File Preview (Ctrl+Q).
  - "Full Screen Preview" (F11).
  Remember that Full Screen Preview is for images only, where as Preview is for all media files.
• * Menu File | Preview: If Raw View (tab) is opened then "Preview" will open the Preview (tab) of the selected file. Before, it would open the Raw View.
• * Menu File | Preview: You now can -- using the menu command, KS, or TB -- preview the focused file even if it is not selected. Any current selections will remain untouched. Maybe a disadvantage of this change: Pressing "Preview" does not close the info panel anymore when nothing is selected. Time will show...
• * Configuration | Preview | Image Preview: renamed "Faster instead of better" to "High quality image resampling", and, as the new name tells, reversed the logic.

v6.10.0084 - 2007-08-10 10:00

• + Configuration | Preview | Image Preview: added option "Faster instead of better". Here you can control the quality of the image resampling used in the Preview Tab, the Full Screen Preview, and in Mouse Down Blow Up (on Preview and on thumbnails).
  The setting does *not* affect the thumbnails quality.


• + Preview: Added more Office 2007 file types, aka Office Open XML Formats. So, including yesterday's addings, XYplorer's instant preview now supports these new file types:
  Word 2007: *.docx, *.dotx
  Excel 2007: *.xlsx, *.xltx
  PowerPoint 2007: *.pptx, *.potx, *.ppsx

v6.10.0083 - 2007-08-09 12:47

• + Tree: When the tree is tall and you are scrolling somewhere in the middle with the root and parent nodes out of view, then you sometimes lose orientation: where am I??? Now there's help: Hovering any folder icon will immediately pop up a tool tip displaying the full path of that folder! Another usability highlight that makes your file managing life just that little bit easier...
  This feature needs "Configuration | File Info Tips | Show tips for clipped tree and list items" to be checked!
• + Preview: Added *.docx and *.xlsx file types.
• * Menu Tools | Browse for Network Server... now works exactly as if the path was entered in the address bar. That is: If the path's server is currently not shown in the Tree, it will be added on the fly.
• * Updated the help file.
• ! Crash on previewing one particular malformed icon. Fixed.

v6.10.0082 - 2007-08-08 09:50

• %%% Incredible: Listing files (browsing and searching) ca. 15% faster! This involved a massive 12 hour rewrite of some core functionality (storage and handling of file times) based on an idea I got when standing on my head (Zen, baby...). Try it with care! (Standing on your head and the latest version.)
• ! The "Len" column was not updated on rename. Fixed.
• ! Find Files: Name Search and related operations did not work alright when the search "Mode" was set to anything but "Standard" (namely to Boolean or RegExp). Fixed.

v6.10.0077 - 2007-08-06 11:27

• +++ List: added new column "Len", which displays the Full Name Length in characters of each item. This offers you a slick way to find over-long filenames that might make trouble when burning CD-ROMs. NTFS allows a length of 255, ISO 9660 as well. However, it is easy to create files with longer names on NTFS, by moving them to long-named locations. This is where the trouble usually starts...
  Note that when upgrading to this version, the new Len column will initially take the place of the Path column in search results. You can re-show the Path column with a single menu click so I did not bother to write compatibility code.
• * Menu File: renamed "Info to Clipboard" to "To Clipboard". It's the better term because also Icons are copied here. And, it's shorter. And, I have some nice ideas for a new submenu "From Clipboard" in future... ;)

v6.10.0075 - 2007-08-05 10:14

(Will update this posting date to correct value after test of email completed)

• + CKS: added new time-stamping command to 'Miscellaneous' under the sub-category 'Touch':
  - Set Modified Date to Created Date
  Sets the last modified date of each selected List item to the created date of that item.
• * CKS: Locked the unshifted ESC key. This 'Stop' key should not be reassignable. It's too fundamental to be soft.
• + INI Tweak: now you can have superfast thumbnail creation for *.gif files, too!
    [Thumbs]
    SuperFastThumbsGif=1
  There's a but: transparent pixels will be black. This blackness is due to a known GDI bug. If your GIFs are not transparent, or if you don't mind seeing some black pixels, then you can win a lot of time by using this tweak!
• ! Generating thumbnails could crash when hitting a truncated GIF image file. Fixed.
• ! With 'Show Folders in List' and 'Check existence of subfolders in tree' switched off, tree navigation did not work as it should. Fixed.
• ! List: Rename edit box was not always closed when changing the View (Details, List, etc.). Fixed.

v6.10.0074 - 2007-08-04 08:48

• ! Toolbar button "Hide Folders in List": didn't update its pressed state after changing the setting via Configuration. Fixed.
• ! Triggering Rename (F2) in an empty List popped an empty edit box. Fixed.
• % Handling of network browsing again faster.

v6.10.0073 - 2007-08-03 15:05

• % Again: Faster handling of attempts to browse to currently not available network locations.

v6.10.0072 - 2007-08-02 17:41

• + CKS: added new time-stamping commands to "Miscellaneous" under the new sub-category "Touch":
  - Set Modified Date to Now
  - Set Created Date to Now
  - Set Accessed Date to Now
  The commands are applied to all currently selected List items.
• ! Menu View | Show Items | Show Folders in List: in Find mode, folders were not recursed when they were hidden by an unchecked "Show Folders in List". Fixed.
  The same bug was in effect for folders hidden by an unchecked "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and "Show System Files and Folders": they were not recursed if hidden. Fixed: now they are recursed and matching contents are displayed in the result listing even if the containing folders themselves are not displayed.
• % Faster handling of attempts to browse to currently not available network locations.
• ! Menu Edit | New | New Folder (Ctrl+N): list refresh after "New Folder" was too slow for fast typists. Fix attempt #2.
• * Toolbar: redefined button "Show Hidden Items" to "Hide Folders in List". The context menu remains the same (just the default command changed). Note that the pressed button state means the folders are hidden. I found it more intuitive to have the normal state (folders shown) unpressed.
• * Menu Go | Hotlist... (Ctrl+H): now the hotlist pops up at the current mouse position. Smoother workflow...

v6.10.0071 - 2007-08-01 09:58

• + Menu View | Show Items: added option "Show Folders in List". Defaults to checked. Uncheck it to show only files in the List.
  Default KS: Ctrl+Shift+O.
  Little issue: in Find mode, hiding folders currently also stops recursing subfolders... I'll fix that soon...
• ! Toolbar buttons lacked transparency under certain color schemes. Fixed #2.
