- + CKS | Options button context menu: added toggle command "Include Command IDs". Check it to include command IDs in cheat sheets. This setting is currently not saved in the INI. I'm not decided yet about the best way to handle this.
- ! Raw View: fixed a bug concerning line wrapping and extracted text.
- ! Fixed a difficult bug concerning the wheel mouse support.
- + Added preview of *.m2v files (MPEG Video). As always: XY can play it if WMP can play it.

v6.80.0012 - 2008-01-12 09:55
- + Toolbar Visual Filter: Added a Visual Filter MRU (last 10) to the button's context menu. The items can be accelerator-selected by pressing numbers 1 to 0 (zero). Also ensured that the positions in MRU do not change when items are selected from here (normally the selected item would shift to the top of the list).
- + New INI Tweak. In the INI you'll find a new key:
[Settings]
AutoCompleteMatchAnywhere=0
Set it to 1 to count a match anywhere in the recently used strings. Else matching is from start of the string.

v6.80.0011 - 2008-01-11 10:01
- + Scripting: Added new command for easier switching of the stepwise mode:
CKS | Miscellaneous | Scripting | Step Through Scripts - + Toolbar: Added button "Step Through Scripts" pointing to the same command as here above. If pressed, scripting is stepwise, regardless of the presence of a "step" command in the script.
- + Catalog: Added an icon for scripts. It's not the usual choice (lightnings, magic wands, script rolls) but something simpler with more opto-power to make it really distinctive and stand-out.
- ! Scripting: Crashed on huge command IDs (overflow). Fixed.
- ! Scripting: Did try to process command IDs pointing to mere menu separators. Fixed.
- * Menu File | Copy/Move Here With [...]: Now, IF the target directory is different from the source directory, AND the target directory is the current one after the file operation is finished, THEN the newly created target file is auto-selected.

v6.80.0010 - 2008-01-10 21:12
- !!! UDC: The command IDs were not stable after you deleted a UDC, closed, and restarted the app. It was some stupid "optimization" in writing udc.dat that made the IDs shift downwards into the holes resulting from the deletion(s) instead of staying fixed. This bug could get nasty only when you had keyboard shortcuts assigned to UDCs (or recently with scripts calling commands by ID). In the worst case a keyboard shortcut would trigger a UDC function that you would not like be triggered in that moment. Fixed.
- ! There were ways to crash the app by passing invalid command IDs via a script. Fixed.
- * WOW64 File System Redirection: Changed the command caption from "Wow64 Redirection (64-bit)" to "WOW64 Redirection (64-bit only)". Also reversed the logic in marking the state of affairs in the titel bar. Before, if Redirection was disabled you got a "- [64]" appended to the window title. Now, if Redirection is *enabled* you get a " - [WOW64]" appended to the window title.

v6.80.0007 - 2008-01-10 11:24
- + Scripting: Added a way to step through a script command by command, with an option to step out at each point. It's very easy to do: Simply add the new script keyword "step" to your script, and all following script commands will be presented stepwise. To disable the stepping mode at any time in your script you can use the new script keyword "unstep".
For example, the script
::step::#534::#1017::#222
will present you the following 3 commands step by step:
Go | Go to Application Folder
Miscellaneous | Focus Functions | Focus Tree
Edit | Backup To...
The script
::step::#534::#1017::unstep::#222
would present you only the following 2 commands:
Go | Go to Application Folder
Miscellaneous | Focus Functions | Focus Tree - + Scripting: Now you can terminate a running script by pressing ESC. The next to follow functions will not be executed anymore.
- + Menu View | Show Items: Added command "Wow64 Redirection (64-bit)". It replaces the following command, respectively makes it more visible:
- CKS | Miscellaneous | 64-bit | Toggle Wow64 File System
Redirection, which allows you to disable/re-enable Wow64 File Redirection on 64-bit Windows. The command is enabled only on 64-bit platforms. - * Copy/Move Here with Suffix Number: Now, a number is *always* suffixed, even if there is no collision, in which case the suffixed number is "-01" (or whatever format you configured suffixed numbers to). Before, the filename was not altered when there was no collision in the target path.

v6.80.0006 - 2008-01-07 11:05
- +++ Scripting, part 2: You can concatenate any number of command IDs!
General syntax:
::#[ID]::#[ID]::#[ID]::#[ID] ... etc.
For example:
::#559::#250::#171
will
- Go to the Temporary Internet Files folder
- Select All
- Delete (Skip Locked)
!!! However, here comes a serious WARNING!!! Scripting is an advanced hardcore feature, and the above example is a good one to show you why. If the Temp folder cannot be shown (e.g., because you opted to not show hidden items), then the script will happily go on with the next commands (select all and delete) IN THE FOLDER YOU END UP IN *instead* of the Temp folder! So, do not expect any smart checking here, scripting (at least this calling commands by ID) is as if you press a serious of buttons without looking. It's a stupid robot pressing buttons! Take care...
Another thing to watch is recursion: If you create a "Go to"-UDC that calls itself, then don't blame me! :) - * Configuration dialog: Heavily re-arranged the first two sections. Spare me a detailed explanation, but I'm sure it is better now than before.
- * Configuration | Advanced: Added option "Enable scripting".
Scripting is potentially dangerous since you could you inadvertently enter "::#[ID of nuke command]" into the Address Bar and then wonder where your files are gone. So as a security measurement I force you to actively enable scripting. - * CKS dialog: Renamed button "Free Shortcuts..." to "All Free Shortcuts..." because the former caption was ambiguous and could be read as "Free All Shortcuts!".
- * Copy/Move Here To New Subfolder: Now, the new folder is auto-selected if it is contained in the current file list. Before, all selections had been removed.
- ! You could not select a file in the list by clicking on the icon left of the file name when "Details with Thumbnails" View was active. Fixed.

v6.80.0005 - 2008-01-06 10:28
- +++ Here is Scripting! Scripting is a long way to go, but today we take the first step and it already takes us into a powerful position: Now, you can call commands by their internal number, their ID!!!
The syntax is like this:
::#[ID]
The first part, ::, is the general script marker. The second part, #, is the keyword for calling commands by number. The third part, [ID], is the number.
For example:
::#571
will call command number 571, which happens to be the command added in the paragraph here below (go to the Temporary Internet Files folder).
These commands are internally treated as locations! So, simply paste ::#571 into the Address Bar (Catalog, Favorites, etc.) and "go to it".
Now, how to find out the command IDs? Very easy: they are now displayed in the CKS dialog (which contains all commands available), above the Description box.
What's so great about this? Well, for example, now you can have your UDCs in the Catalog and trigger them from there! - + Menu Favorites Special System Folders: added command "Temporary Internet Files" (or whatever this folder is called on your system/language).
- + Now, "MyComputer", "Desktop", and "MyDocuments" (or whatever they are called on your system/language) can be passed as command line parameters to control the startup path.
XYplorer.exe "MyComputer" = open XYplorer at drives listing
XYplorer MyComputer = (same)
XYplorer Desktop = open XYplorer at Desktop folder - ! List: Display of thumbnails was not always correctly adjusted on on-the-fly changes of views or thumbnail dimensions. Fixed.
