v8.10.0008 - 2009-07-08 08:24

• + SC Report(): Added more special fields that will retrieve
  extended properties from all file types that support them:
  - {FileVersion} =version of EXEs, DLLs, etc.
  - {WhenTaken} =EXIF date of photos
  - {Dimensions} =width x height of images
  Examples:
  ::text report("{name}, ver {FileVersion}<crlf>", 1);
  ::text report("{name}, {WhenTaken}, {Dimensions}<crlf>", 1);
• ! SC Property: Failed on Vista. Fixed, part 2.

v8.10.0007 - 2009-07-07 22:32

• ! SC Property: Failed on Vista. Fixed.
  

v8.10.0006 - 2009-07-07 17:24

• ! List: Type-Ahead Find could lead to complete hang (100% CPU). Fixed.
• ! Glitch when MDBU while thumbnails being created. Fixed.

v8.10.0005 - 2009-07-05 12:33

• + Menu View List Style: Added option "Sticky Selection". This is a selection style known from many apps with multiple selection lists. The effect is pretty much identical to holding the CTRL key while you click on an item or hit the space key on the focused item: The previous selections are not touched and the current item's selection state toggles. Also clicking on the white space will not unselect the selected items.
  Sticky Selection is obviously very practical when you work on long lists and want to pick out particular items manually: You won't easily lose your work by the slip of a finger.
  Tip: To unselect all items using the mouse start a drag-select (hold mouse button down and drag a bit), or use Deselect All (Ctrl+Shift+A). Note that you won't have the "Rename On Slow Double-Click" functionality when "Sticky Selection" is active. Note that obviously "Sticky Selection" will only come to effect when "Multiple Select" is on (which no known user ever turned off).
• + Scripting got a new function.
    Name:   property
    Action: Retrieve a particular property from a file or folder.
    Syntax: property([property], [item])
      property: [optional] name of the desired property
                defaults to showing Shell Properties dialog
      item:     [optional] name of the file or folder
                defaults to current path / item
      return:   the desired property
    Examples:
      msg property("FileVersion", "%winsysdir%\msvbvm60.dll");
      msg property("CameraModel", "F:\IMG_1926.JPG");
      msg property("WhenTaken", "F:\IMG_1926.JPG"); //= EXIF date
      msg property("Artist", "1.mp3"); //1.mp3 in current path
      msg property("FileVersion"); //version of current file
      property(, "<xypath>\<xyexe>"); //show Properties for XYplorer
      property(); //show Properties for current item
    Usage:
      This powerful function gives you direct and ultra-fast access to
      all available properties of all available files and folders on
      system without any browsing involved!
      Which particular property is available (and how it is called!)
      depends on the file, the file type, and on your OS. You have to
      experiment to find out what works.
      For starters here a list of property verbs ("legacy name", left
      column!):
      http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776504(VS.85).aspx
    Remarks:
    (1) Note that file times ("Write", "Create") are returned as
        Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is usually not
        identical to the System Filetime (unless you live around
        London). See:
        http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx
    (2) Also the formatting of the returned data is completely
        controlled by the Shell. E.g. the "FileVersion" of
        XYplorer.exe is returned as "8.10.0.4" as opposed to
        "8.10.0004" or "8.10.00.04".
• + Tweak to customize the action on Mouse Back Button:
    [Settings]
    CEA_MouseBack=0
  You can choose between the following values/actions:
    0 = Go Back [Default]
    1 = Go Up
  + Tweak to customize the action on Mouse Forward Button:
    [Settings]
    CEA_MouseForward=0
  You can choose between the following values/actions:
    0 = Go Forward [Default]
    1 = Go Down
• + Renamed tweak: OEA_ListRightClickOnWhite is now
  CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite. Reason: the official term is "Custom Event Action" (CEA) rather than "On Event Action" (OEA).
• ! Could crash when existing while thumbnails were being created. Fixed.

v8.10.0004 - 2009-07-04 08:54

• * List: Now you can stop ongoing thumbnail creation by pressing ESC. You won't get any more thumbnails for that list until you rebrowse it or refresh its thumbnails.
• ! Tab icon was not correctly updated when a removable drive got available again. Fixed.

v8.10.0002 - 2009-07-02 22:08

• + Tweak to exclude particular file types (identified by extension) from the Raw View. For example, this would exclude PIP and POP files:
    [Settings]
    NoPrevRaw=pip.pop
  Note that leading and trailing dots in extension lists (.pip.pop.) are still allowed but not necessary anymore.
• * New About box.
• ! With "Synchronize tree with search location" on, a locked mini tree would grow a new branch when selecting a search results tab under certain conditions. Fixed.
• ! There was a way to make a drop on script items in the Catalog. Fixed.
  

v8.10.0001 - 2009-07-01 22:26

• + Outlook Drop: Now dropping messages encoded in UTF-8 is supported.
• ! Overlong filenames: Could not create a new path of length 249 - 259 (but longer paths worked). Fixed.
