v7.90.0124 - 2009-02-17 13:07
- + File Comments: Now you can define multi-line comments. The CRLF sequence is internally stored as pilcrow character (¶). Also in the file list's Comment column, which has only a single line per item, pilcrows are used for CRLFs. These script lines create identical comments:
::comment "multi-line<crlf>comment.";
::comment "multi-line¶comment."; - + Catalog: Added command "Insert as New Item(s) Here | Current Mini Tree". Will create a new Item consisting of an auto-generated loadtree() script line containing all unexpanded folders of the current Mini Tree (the command is not available if Mini Tree is off). The first folder is set to the current folder.
This is a slick way to save a MiniTree for later usage within a single Catalog Item. If you later click this item, the Mini Tree is loaded. This is the only instance where a native XY command creates a script for later usage. A bit unusual and maybe unclever software design. We'll see... - + Added tweak to hide the "hand" overlays you normally see on shared folders:
[Settings]
NoSharedFolderOverlays=1
Set to 1 to hide the hand overlays. It will also make browsing a tiny bit faster.

v7.90.0123 - 2009-02-16 13:01
- + Scripting got a new command.
Name: tag
Action: Tag item(s).
Syntax: tag [tagid=0], [itemlist]
tagid = Tag ID (missing or 0: remove any tag)
itemlist = |-separated list of items (full path) to tag;
if empty then current list selections are tagged
Examples:
::tag 3; //set tag #3 to all selected items
::tag; //remove all tags from all selected items
::tag 3, <curitem>; //set tag #3 to current item
::tag 0, <curitem>; //remove any tag from current item
::tag 3, "C:\foo.txtD:\bar.txt"; //set tag #3 to these items - + Scripting got a new command.
Name: comment
Action: Comment item(s).
Syntax: comment [comment], [itemlist]
comment = comment (missing or "": remove any comment)
itemlist = |-separated list of items (full path) to tag;
if empty then current list selections are tagged
Examples:
::comment "Blah"; //set comment "Blah" to all selected items
::comment; //remove all comments from all selected items
::comment "Blah", <curitem>; //set comment "Blah" to
current item
::comment , <curitem>; //remove any comment from
current item
::comment "Blah", "C:\foo.txtD:\bar.txt"; //comment these items - + File Tags: Now, the context menu command "Select All "[Tag Name]"" can be modified by modifier keys:
- Hold None: Select all [tag] items, unselect all other items.
- Hold SHIFT: Select all [tag] items, keep other selections.
- Hold CTRL: Unselect all [tag] items, keep other selections. - * Menu Go Drives...: Should popup without delay now.
- * Info Panel: The tweak "NoPropertiesStartup" now also suppresses Properties, Version, Preview, and Raw View on tab change.

v7.90.0122 - 2009-02-13 16:07
- + Menu View | Mini Tree: Added two further commands that allow you to set and later load a Favorite Mini Tree:
- Set As Favorite Mini Tree...
Stores the current Mini Tree as Favorite Mini Tree. Overwrites
any previously stored Favorite Mini Tree (after OK-ing a
prompt). Only available/applicable in Mini Tree mode.
- Load Favorite Mini Tree
Loads any previously stored Favorite Mini Tree. Turns on Mini
Tree mode if necessary. The Favorite Mini Tree is stored between
sessions, of course. The commands are as well featured in the TB
button's context menu. - + File Tags: Added command "Select All "[Tag Name]"" to the context menu of toolbar button Tags and to the Tag column right-click menu. Gives you a comfortable way to select a group of files based on their tags and the tag of the currently focused item (resp. the clicked item in case of the column context menu). Note that some other file managers offer various sorts of sticky selection, or checkbox controlled selection. So now XYplorer has "Sticky Selection Deluxe"... :)

v7.90.0121 - 2009-02-13 10:56
- + Enhanced tweak HotKeyShowApp. Now you can state the modifier keys using the following values:
ALT = 1
CTRL = 2
SHIFT = 4
WIN = 8
Simply add the values you need and prefix them to the key separated by a "+". E.g. like this for Win+Alt+Y:
[Settings]
HotKeyShowApp=9+Y
If no modifier is stated, the modifer defaults to 8 (Win Key). - + Scripting got a new function.
Name: asc
Action: Returns the ASCII value of a character.
This function complements chr().
Syntax: asc(string)
string: character
If string is larger than one character the first
character used.
If string is empty asc() returns "" (empty).
return: ASCII value, range 0-65535 (0xFFFF)
Examples:
::echo asc("a"); //97
::echo asc(chr(20000)); //20000

v7.90.0117 - 2009-02-11 12:49
- + Added tweak to define a hotkey to show (restore, foreground) the application when it's in the background, minimized to taskbar, or minimized to tray.
[Settings]
HotKeyShowApp=X
Set to one character (A-Z, 0-9). The character/key will be used together with "Win"-key, so the above example would create the hotkey Win+X to show XY.
Note that such a hotkey does not change your system or registry. It is active only as long as XYplorer is loaded. If more than one XYplorer instance using the same hotkey is loaded then only the first loaded one receives the hotkey. Even if it is unloaded later, no other still loaded instance will respond to the
hotkey.

v7.90.0116 - 2009-02-10 21:45
- ! SC md5: Had a problem (at least under some locales) with certain input characters (e.g. ANSI 138 = Š) because of inherent codepage related conversions. As a result md5() calculations of binary files were likely to return wrong results. Fixed. En passant md5 got a tad faster.
- * Cycling tabs in recently used order: Now, when you are on the most recent tab, Ctrl+Tab will not wrap around anymore but go backward. This allows you to jump back and forth between the 2 most recent tabs with one key combination.
- ! Fixed recent issues related to the /win switch changes in v7.90.0107.
