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

  • * Configuration | Tag | Database Clean-Up: Now also the capitalization of the item names is checked and corrected if necessary.
  • * Find Files: Now found items are displayed at once in the search results list. Before, they were displayed in packets of at least 64 items, which meant that you would not see any results for a while even if there were results already.
  • ! List: Opening media files associated with Media Player by dbl-click did not work anymore since last version. Fixed.
  • ! List: Opening various types of executable files (e.g. *.vbs) by dbl-click did not work anymore since last version. Fixed.
  • * Find Files: Now the capitalization of the path spec in the Location field is internally auto-corrected (you won't see this in the GUI) when a search is triggered.

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

  • * Rewrote opening a file with the shell-associated application (triggered e.g. by Dbl-Click or Enter on a file in the list). Now it should correctly trigger the default command for the file type as defined in the registry, including any command line switches. Before, those command line switches had been ignored.
  • * Backup: Backup log is now opened from "View log?" prompt with PFA-associated app (if any). Before, it was opened using the shell-associated application.
  • ! Find Files: After a metadata search or tag/cmt search you could not do a normal name search anymore because a flag was not reset internally. Fixed.
  • ! Find Files: With search results to "Current tab" the tab caption and location was not always correctly updated. Fixed.
  • ! Address Bar: Could become unresponsive for a while when typing into the edit box while unavailable network locations where listed in the Address Bar's MRU dropdown. Fixed.
  • ! Catalog: Shift+Del did not work anymore to remove an item from Catalog without prompt. Fixed.

v8.60.0119 - 2009-11-29 12:33

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

  • ! List: In view mode "List" horizontal scrolling into view did not work when a single column was wider than the whole list. Fixed.

v8.60.0118 - 2009-11-29 12:12

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

  • * Configuration | General | Disallow dragging from tree and list: Renamed to "Disallow left-dragging from tree and list" because that's what it does.
  • ! The default PFA/POM "Append modified date" that's coming with a fresh install as example was buggy. It did not give the expected results when more than one file was selected because double quotes were used instead of single quotes around the date variable. Fixed.
  • ! Menu File | Settings: Changes in a User Button were not registered. An asterisk (*) should be prefixed to the "Save Configuration" item to mark it dirty, and the color of the "Save All Settings" TB button should change from green to brown. Fixed.
  • * Updated the help file.

v8.60.0117 - 2009-11-26 09:18

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

  • ! Find Files: Searching for a string that coincided with one of the supported field prefixes (e.g.: tag) did not work as expected anymore because it was falsely interpreted as a field prefix. Fixed.
  • ! Find Files | Name & Location: Clicking the Mode label to cycle the mode prefixes did not work alright when the search term had a field prefix. Fixed.

v8.60.0116 - 2009-11-25 14:44

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

  • * Command Line Switches: Now the order of switches is not relevant
    anymore. Only the startup path must be last.
    So both orders work now:
    XYplorer.exe[ /win=minmaxnormal][ /ini=myini][ mystartpath]
    XYplorer.exe[ /ini=myini][ /win=minmaxnormal][ mystartpath]
  • ! Batch Rename: When applied to files in different locations (in a recursive Search Results listing), numbers were suffixed where it was not really necessary -- while a file of the same name already existed it was in a different location so no collision was to be avoided. Fixed.
  • ! Menu File | Restart without Saving: Didn't restart XYplorer with the appropriate command line switches. Fixed.
  • ! Backup Operation: Preserving item dates did not work as expected on all systems when items were read-only. Fixed.
  • ! Rename Preview: The last lines of the lists only partially displayed under certain font / DPI settings. Fixed.

  • * File Info Tips: Now with "Show custom file info tips" OFF the Name of the hovered item is added to the top of the tip.
  • ! SC setkey: Did not take care that spaces in the value are not lost when the value is read back using getkey. Fixed.
  • ! Auto-Refresh on Cut and Paste between panes: Cut items were not removed from source pane. Fixed.
  • ! Tabs: Dragging over a tab header with an X-close button let to a display glitch in visual style XYplorer Classic. Fixed.
  • ! Action Log: Error on writing the Action Log to disk when a single action needed more than 32767 bytes in the database (action.dat), which can easily happen e.g. on large copy jobs with several thousands files. Fixed.
  • ! Undo: Undoing a copy of many items (> 1000) with "Delete to recycle bin" enabled was very slow. Now it's fast.
