v6.30.0009 - 2007-09-13 11:59

• + Dbl-click on empty space goes up (or down when holding Shift) one level: now implemented for the tree's empty space, too.
• + CKS: added new command to "Miscellaneous":
   - Optimize Tree
    Only expand the current path, collapse all other paths.
    Default KS: Shift+Numpad Divide
• + Added "Optimize Tree" to the Tree folders' context menu, inside a new submenu "Expansion".
• + Now holding Shift while selecting a menu item will open a location in a new tab in Breadcrumb, Hotlist, Drives, Favorite Folders, and Favorite Files menus.
• + Configuration | File Info Tips: added yet another (super-)field to the bottom of the list: "Version Information". Shows the following six fields (if they exist) from the so-called "String Version Info", for example for XYplorer.exe:
    FileDescription: XYplorer
    CompanyName: www.xyplorer.com
    FileVersion: 6.30.0008
    OriginalFilename: XYplorer.exe
    LegalCopyright: Copyright © 2000-07 by Donald Lessau
    Comments: A portable multi-tabbed file manager... (etc.)
• * Hot scrolling (auto-scrolling when drag-hovering the upper or lower margins of a long list) now happens only when over the left third of the list. Before, it was the left half, but that was still too hot for me.
• ! Raw View: Incorrect line parsing with ASCII-Mac/DOS files. Fixed.
• * Rename Special: now, the default button is the "OK" button and it is triggered by Enter, as expected. To open the Rename Preview press Ctrl+Enter (Think: "Control"). In the Rename Preview, pressing Ctrl+Enter will bring you back to the edit pattern interface. In other words: while you hold Ctrl, no actual rename will happen via keyboard, but you jump back and forth between preview and edit interface.
• * Catalog's Context Menu |Import as New Category Here|Current List:
  now this item is auto-renamed to "Selected List Item(s)" if there are any selections. Only if there are no items selected the whole list is imported and the item is aptly called "Current List".

v6.30.0008 - 2007-09-11 09:47

• + Configuration | File Info Tips: made the showing of the two Extra fields configurable, and renamed one of them:
  Len (Full Path) (before named "Full Name Length")
  Path (Search Results)
  You find them at the bottom of the "File info tips fields" list.
  Also, the now called "Len (Full Path)" field now shows the length of the filename and the length of the full path/file (in parentheses).
• * Tip of the Day: now the window is non-modal, the startup-position is better (aim: don't cover the most important interface areas), and the headline (DID YOU KNOW...) is easier readable.

v6.30.0007 - 2007-09-10 12:36

• + The distribution package now includes the file "tipoftheday.htm",
  which contains the layout (HTML) and the tip data (proprietary
  format) for the "Tip of the Day" dialog. This file will be
  continuously updated. Do not change it manually.
• * Tip of the Day: Slightly changed the tip syntax. There might be
  more changes coming in the next days, so it's too early for you to
  write your own tip collection (see below!). Later you can do so
  and try to sell it on the web... :)
• + Menu Help | Tip of the Day...: You now can have another file
  called "tipoftheday_user.htm" along side "tipoftheday.htm". The
  idea is that you can collect and keep your own private custom tips
  in that file, without having them overwritten when the official
  file "tipoftheday.htm" is updated. When XYplorer finds and loads
  your custom tip file, the custom tips will be simply appended to
  the official tips (or, optionally, replace them... see below!).
  
  You may also design a custom layout for the tips using that file:
  If a file "tipoftheday_user.htm" exists in the application path,
  then it can (see below!) be used as HTML template for the Tips of
  the Day. Note, that you have to know and understand the basic
  format of "tipoftheday.htm" to create a working user tip file.
  
  Inside this user tip file you can make two decisions by placing
  certain keywords into the header section (anything before ###):
  (1) write "user only" (without quotes) in a separate line to use
  only the user tips in this file for the Tips of the Day
  (2) write "html" (without quotes) in a separate line to use this
  file as HTML template for the Tips of the Day
  
  If you do not use the "html" option, the user tip file can be
  stripped of all the HTML code and look very simple. Here's a mini-
  example of a working "tipoftheday_user.htm" which will *replace*
  the official tips (remove "user only" and it will be *added* to
  the official tips):
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  user only

  Stop a Search
  You can stop an ongoing search at any time by pressing ESC.

• ! Menu File | Copy Here As: did not work in Tree inside Special
  folders (eg "Desktop"). Also the Tree was not always refreshed.
  Fixed.

v6.30.0004 - 2007-09-09 11:00

• +++ Menu Help: Added "Tip of the Day" functionality (Shift+F1). Shows a random tip, usually a little usage hint or trick, ideally something you would not look for because you never thought it existed, or something you always tend to forget about. The aim is also to open up the richness of XYplorer to newbies.
  Optionally the tips can be auto-shown at startup. You may scroll through the tips by PageUp/PageDown keys. (This is actually one of the tips!) Right now there are only few Tips... there will be more soon, many more!
  All tips, and the HTML template used to display them, are contained in one file called "tipoftheday.htm". A new version of this file will be provided irregularly and can be downloaded from the website. If you don't have it now you *must* download it because it's not yet in the distribution package:
     http://www.xyplorer.com/download/tipoftheday.zip
  You may edit this file to add your own tips. The syntax for the data is explained inside the file. Inside each tip all HTML tags are allowed (including links and references to remote resources). This, of course, means you can have the tips in your language! Simply translate them or have them translated.

v6.30.0004 - 2007-09-07 13:46

• * Improved column sizing by mouse. It was a little shaky when you downed the mouse some pixels off the column separator. Now it's rock-solid.
• + Added the "Sort By" submenu to the List's context menu. It's highly expected there, as I learned from user communication.
• - Removed the Go commands (Up, Back, Forward) from the top of the List's context menu. Reason: the menu got too high, and these commands are not very useful there for a majority of users (including myself). After the coming redesign of the Configuration dialog, you'll get an option to have them back.

v6.30.0003 - 2007-09-06 12:56

• ! Column headers did not work alright in "Windows Classic Design" mode. Fixed.

v6.30.0002 - 2007-09-06 12:16

• *** Rewrote the List's column headers. Now they are "XP/Vista styled" (of course, only if you have one of those OSs plus themes enabled), as well as with hover effect. I had to increase the headers height by one pixel to make it look good. That's still 2 pixels less than Explorer. :)
• * Rewrote tooltips for the toolbar. Now they throw a shadow and position correctly in a dual monitors setup.
• ! Menu File | Rename Special | Preview All: unchecking had no effect after a preview had been shown. Fixed.
• ! Menu Go | Goto: Canceling that dialog did not Cancel any action but pass am empty path to the browsing routines. Fixed.
• ! Menu Go | Goto: Dialog crashed when canceling it by pressing Alt+F4. Fixed.

v6.30.0001 - 2007-09-05 09:35

• + Media Preview: added support for the file extension DIVX (DivX Movie). Note that the files are exactly the same as those with the AVI extension.
• * Rewrote tooltips for the tab headers. Now they throw a shadow and should position correctly in a dual monitors setup.
• * Address Bar: pressing ESC now always resets the content to the current path.
• + Address Bar: now, pressing Enter on an empty Address Bar will reset any Visual Filter or Quick Search and re-browse the current folder. Just a little service. Before, pressing Enter on an empty Address Bar did do nothing at all. You may also add an empty (destination) item to the Catalog to re- browse the current folder without any VF or QS.
• + Menu Help | XYplorer on the Web: added two commands, renamed one (Web Site -> Homepage).

v6.30.0000 - 2007-09-02 14:00

= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE.
Main changes since last release:

• +++ Rename Special: all bulk rename operations now come with a detailed preview, including detection of possible conflicts.
• +++ Added option "Minimize to tray on X close".
• +++ Smoother tab cycling through delayed browsing.
• +++ RegExp Rename: now you may use inline comments of format (?#comment) within your Regular Expressions.
• +++ File Info Tips completely rewritten. No more freezing effect when hovering AVIs or PDFs.
• +++ Network browsing did not work as expected under Vista in version 6.20. Now it works again, and much faster than before.

v6.20.0012 - 2007-08-31 09:45

• + When using "Cycle Tabs with Delayed Browsing" you now get the location of the selected (but not yet browsed) tab in the statusbar.
• + Address Bar: now pressing ESC reverts the address back to before changes and selects it. It's the expected behavior.
• * Address Bar: on a tab change, and when the Address Bar is focused, the contents are now selected with the cursor at the end of the selection.
• ! With "Resort list immediately after rename" active, the list was not resorted when a newly created item (e.g. New Folder (Ctrl+N)) was not renamed. Fixed. Now the list is resorted after you accept (by pressing Enter) the default name of the new item.
• * Rename Special: now blank values are explicitly disallowed (they never worked anyway) for "RegExp Rename", "Search and Replace", "Keep Particular Characters". ! Menu File | Rename Special | Preview All: checkmark was not always up-to-date. Fixed.
• + Configuration | Preview: added "Rename Preview: Preview All".
