- * SC rename: Now, when you cancel the operation and it's the last line in the script you get no more "error" message about "Rename failed or was cancelled".

v7.90.0018 - 2008-12-22 15:45
- + Media Preview: Added minimal media control buttons. Both "Play" and "Pause" have identical functionality, namely toggle Play / Pause, with inverse pressed-states. "Stop" rewinds to beginning and stops there.
- * Media Preview: Swapped buttons' functionality when clicking progress bar. Now you *Left*-click to seek a new position (which is the expected behavior), and you *Right*-click to play/pause.
- ! Media Preview: Fixed some glitches with Audio-CD playing.

v7.90.0017 - 2008-12-21 22:04
- + Media Preview: Now the progress bar's tooltip shows the timeline position of the cursor.
- + Media Preview: Added keyboard-driven backwind and forewind. Works in paused and running mode, on audio and video.
Left: Frame step backward (Audio: 100 msec backward)
Right: Frame step forward (Audio: 100 msec forward)
Shift+Left: 1 sec backward
Shift+Right: 1 sec forward - ! Media Preview: Rounding error in frames per second calculation let to one-off under certain circumstances. E.g. the typical FLV video file has 25 fps but XY showed only 24 fps. Fixed.

v7.90.0016 - 2008-12-20 17:36
- + Media Preview: Added a way to repeat any particular section of the medium (audio or video), aka "A-B repeat". Looping must be enabled (tick "Play Again") to make it happen. The section is defined by clicking anywhere (no matter where) on the progress bar while the medium is previewed (no matter whether running or paused):
Ctrl+LeftClick: Set start of section to now
Ctrl+RightClick: Set end of section to now
Ctrl+Alt+Click: Unset any section
If a section start is defined then "Go To Beginning" (Shift+Space, or Shift+Click) will go to the beginning of the section. There is no visual marking of the section, so this is a low-comfort / low-documentation feature for the time being. But it works okay and can be useful.
The section is auto-unset when you preview the next file.

v7.90.0012 - 2008-12-19 17:55
- + Added "Spot" (working title): A new highlighting feature inspired by the Google Toolbar and the Firefox Searchbar. For the time being it has no separate GUI but can be invoked via the Address Bar (or any of the other location interfaces). Simply type in a string prefixed with ">" and press Enter. The string will be
highlighted in the file list wherever it's found (case-insensitive: a=A).
For example:
>p [Enter] = highlight all letters "p" and "P"
To turn it off again type a single ">":
> [Enter]
The highlighting is not retained across sessions.

v7.90.0010 - 2008-12-18 21:14

"Append modified date" ::rename "b", "*-<datem yyyymmdd>"
lost its outer quotes across sessions. Fixed.

v7.90.0008 - 2008-12-18 13:55
- + Added new file type to the set of previewed Web & Office formats:
*.xps XML Paper Specification
aka "Microsoft's PDF competitor"
XPS files can be previewed only if your system supports it. For example to enable XPS support on Windows XP SP3, you can install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. There are other ways, too. - ! Various controls (Tree, List, Catalog, Tabs) allowed dbl-clicks from other than the left mouse button to be processed as dbl-clicks. Fixed: Now only left-button dbl-clicks count as dbl-clicks.
- ! Mini Tree: With Mini Tree enabled, passing the startpath via command line didn't work, nor did setting a permanent startpath. Both fixed.

v7.90.0006 - 2008-12-17 15:16
- ! Find Files: "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM) -- AND-combining patterns using " " (space) in Standard Mode -- did not work as expected when the patterns contained certain words or characters that are used in Boolean search patterns, e.g. " and ", " or ", " & ", or "(". Fixed. BTW, note that OR-combining patterns (using ";") has precedence over LBM, so the following search term (in Standard Mode)
a;b c
is interpreted as
"*a*" OR "*b c*"
and not as
"*a;b*" AND "*c*" - * Find Files "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM): in v5.50.0008 (2007-01-06 12:26) a feature was added where you could invert/negate the individual arguments of the LBM search term:
Desktop?a b !c Find all items that contain the characters
a and b, but not c in their name.
This is not supported anymore! To achieve this you should use the full Boolean syntax instead:
Desktop?:a & b & !c
What you still can do is invert the *whole* LBM expression by prefixing a "!":
Desktop?!a b c Find all items that do not contain the
characters a and b and c in their name. - ! List: Since about 3 weeks ago, XY reported drives as "currently not available" when they were in fact just empty. Fixed.

- ! Mini Tree: Fixed some glitches with the locked Mini Tree where folders were automatically added (which should never happen on a locked tree).
