Note from XY Developer/Author: !!! N-O-T-E !!! There are some pretty dramatic changes in this BETA version, so glitches may happen. Make sure you backup your previous version and config files!
- *** Tabs: Now the List Column Visibility (menu View Columns)is handled per-tab! Before, it was global.
To show/hide a column in all tabs at once, hold Shift while selecting the command. Of course, List Column Visibility is now also part of a Tab's Home definition. - *** Tabs: Now the List Style (menu View List Style) is handled per-tab! Before, it was global.
To (un)set a certain style in all tabs at once, hold Shift while selecting the command. Of course, List Style is now also part of a Tab's Home definition. - + FVS: Folder specifications now support portability, however in a slightly restricted way since wildcarded patterns are allowed as well, so ambiguities have to be avoided.
If XYplorer is at C:\Programs\XY\XYplorer.exe then
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pattern is resolved to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- MyFolder C:\Programs\XY\MyFolder\
- .\MyFolder C:\Programs\XY\MyFolder\
- ..\MyFolder C:\Programs\MyFolder\
- ..\..\MyFolder C:\MyFolder\
- ..\MyFolder* C:\Programs\MyFolder*\
- ?:\MyFolder C:\MyFolder\
- D: ... [unchanged: not relative]
- \\ ... [unchanged: not relative]
- *MyFolder* [unchanged: is pattern]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that "..\MyFolder*" is resolved because the initial "." (dot) is interpreted as "Please, resolve this relative path!". - * FVS: You don't need to add a trailing "\" to your patterns. XY knows that this is about folders and cares for it. So now pattern "C:" will match Folder C:\.
- * FVS: If you "Save Folder View" when the active FV is non-specific to the current folder (i.e. a pattern, or incl. subfolders) you now will be asked whether to update the active FV or create a new specific one.
- * FVS: If a different FV (or no FV) is loaded after editing/removing the active FV then the list view is updated to the newly active FV (or to default).
- ! FVS: FVs were not applied to folders opened in a background tab. Fixed. Note that the FV is applied in the moment the tab is created. When you then edit FVs while the tab is still in the background it will have no effect on that tab's view settings.
- ! Opening multiple instances did not work since v7.40.0018. Fixed.
