  • + Now you can right-drag items to the outside and get the context menu you expect to see, including "Create Shortcut(s) Here" and other stuff depending on the dragged items. The probably biggest and oldest mystery in the history of XY development looks like solved. Holy Dragon Drop!

v8.60.0005 - 2009-11-08 12:54

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

  • + Configuration | File Info Tips: Added option "Show custom file info tips". Before, this option was implicitly ON always. Now it's by factory default OFF. Having it OFF will show the default file info tips, which are exactly the ones you would see if you used Windows Explorer. This has a couple of advantages:
    - You can see specific 3rd party extensions of the file info tips
      (e.g. by MediaInfo) which are not shown in XYplorer when you
      turn "Show custom file info tips" ON.
    - Using the default tip (and with "Show MP3 info tips" OFF), you
      can now see the ID3v2 (XY internally only supports ID3v1) info
      of mp3 files in the file info tip if your shell/OS supports it.
  • * Configuration | File Info Tips: Increased the number of items in the "custom file info tips" list, depending on OS: Under Vista/Win7 you will have 267 different fields now, and under XP or lower 41 different fields.
    Also the indices, starting with 0 (zero), are now shown in the list. You can use these indices with SC property() in scripts like:
      msg property("#2"); //type of current item
  • * Configuration | File Info Tips: The XYplorer-only "extra fields" are now listed in a separate list.
  • ! Toolbar | Undo, Action Log: Could crash on certain filenames because of a buggy ellipse routine working on trimming the captions. Fixed.

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

  • + Color Filters: Added "Junction" to the factory default color filters.
  • ! Action Log: Captions had empty strings when actions were done on search results. Fixed.
  • ! Undo/Redo: Tree was not always correctly updated in the special folders section. Fixed.
  • ! Tabs: Selecting a Search Results tab so that the mouse pointer ended up right on the X close button could under certain conditions lead to closing that tab when releasing the mouse button. Fixed.
  • ! Scripting: Things like ::html(""); did not work anymore since v8.60.0002. Fixed.

v8.60.0002 - 2009-11-05 12:04

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

  • + List Context Menu: Added special functionality to the context menu of Junctions. You now have these extra commands:
      Go to Junction Target
      Copy Junction Target Name
  • * Menu File | Settings | Save All Settings: Now this command, besides saving all your settings, also writes the current Action Log from memory to disk (to file "action.dat") if "Remember the logged actions between sessions" is ON.
    Note that the Action Log is always saved on exit if (and only if) "Remember the logged actions between sessions" is ON (even if "Save settings on exit" is off).
  • * Search Results: Now right-clicking multiple items in a recursive (= include subfolders) search results listing will pop the Shell context menu only if those items are located in the same folder. Otherwise a shorter replacement menu is shown. Reason: The Shell commands simply do not work correctly for multiple items in different locations.
  • ! Crash when the Edit Text font defined in configuration was not existing on the system. Fixed.
  • ! List: After dragging a subfolder of the current folder Tree-to-Tree the List was not updated (the subfolder did not disappear from the list). Fixed.

  • ! Statusbar: Tooltips did not always appear over the expected section. Fixed.
  • ! Refresh Tree added floppies even if Show Floppies was OFF since a couple of weeks ago. Fixed.
  • ! Rename Special | Batch Rename: A file called ".txt" was treated as having no extension. Fixed: Now it's treated as TXT file with an empty base name.
    This means when you rename ".txt" with pattern "new" you'll get "new.txt".
