I know I started off on the wrong foot here, but this is simply the best file manager since CubicExplorer. Although I still can't seem to part with CE yet, XY is actually pretty damned good. Thank you for your work Don. Maybe one day I won't be frowned upon so much :lol: :lol:

Code: Select all

    ! Locked Tabs: If you changed the location of a locked tab while creating 
      thumbnails or calculating folder sizes, the location of the locked tab may 
      actually have been overwritten by the new location. Fixed.

    + SC input enhanced: Now the icon parameter also accepts an image file (GIF, 
      JPG, PNG). It can be a full path, or just a filename (auto-resolved 
      to the default icons path <xyicons>).
      
    + Tabs: Now you can freely choose almost anything for a tab's icon. In "View 
      | Tab | Rename Tab..." you can state an image file (GIF, JPG, PNG, ICO) or 
      non-image file (its system icon will be used) for the custom item icon 
      (appended to the name, separated by |). It can be a full path, or just a 
      filename (auto-resolved to the default icons path <xyicons>). Or you can 
      still specify an internal icon prefixed by ":", e.g. :dark.

    + SC popupmenu/popupnested enhanced: Experimentally now you can add custom 
      icons to script items in your scripted menu, at the second position and 
      identified by / as icon marker.
      That makes 3 possible syntaxes for script items (here assuming sep_item=";"):
        ::Script              (here Script is also used as Caption)
        ::Caption;Script
        ::Caption;/Icon;Script
another portion of big Thanks from me!
Couldn't track that locked tab bug for ages and now it's finally fixed. :appl: Yet i like all the colour/icon-ization features, so glad that now there are more places where images can be used.

Very handy for daily use.
Kudos to @Evolve for the tree idea.

Thanks for the loading screen. My computer is far from being state of art and I don't have to wonder anymore if I double clicked on the xyplorer icon or not. Now I can be sure that the loading is really happening.

v22.40.0213 - 2021-11-07 18:17
+ SC loadtree enhanced: Added "flags" parameter.
Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify], [flags]
flags: (bit field)
1: NoSelect (= do not trigger browsing the selected path after the tree is loaded)
Remarks:
Can be useful to avoid race conditions when loading a tree via a CEA script.
Seems like a small thing but I still like it a lot.

Code: Select all

    + Hover Box | Image: Now you can press "F" (frame) while the Hover Box is 
      showing an image to quickly cycle the width of the image frame between 
      three values: 0, 12, 24 pixels. The new factory default (also the value 
      for upgraders) is 0.
Coolness! Love the new zero-frame look. 8)

Totally agree on that comment. No frame along with no stats, and when you want to see photo information, cycle the "S" key. It's like MDBU on hover - MHBU.

Thanks a bunch Don for removing the "Script Terminated by Esc" message box!

I use Esc like it's a vowel, so that box was getting in my way dozens of times a day, always breaking my workflow.

I don't miss it, not one bit!

Code: Select all

    + Added a tweak that allows you to zoom up the tooltips in the main window. 
      Coding for screen reader support put me in an accessibility flow. This 
      tweak can turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass. Example:
        TooltipZoom=1.5
      Allowed values are 1 through 4. Fractions are okay.
I like this tweak and it could be natural in UI.
The only thing i find strange about the tweak(and similar tweaks with fractions) is that example is 1.0 - 4.0(with dots) while user needs to use 1,0 - 4,0(with comas) = misleading.

Dots or commas, that depends on your locale. US English is XY's default locale.

Several years of browsing the forums and I just now ran into this topic, doh!

I wanted to say how delightfully quicker frequently recalculating folders sizes is for folders with a large amount of folders.

Code: Select all

    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability: Added 
      "Tooltip zoom (%)". Enter a percentage (100 - 400) that will be applied to 
      most tooltips (not the small ones e.g. on labels in Configuration). Can 
      turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass.
    + Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Backup settings 
      on save: Now ks.dat (keyboard shortcuts) and server.dat (cached servers) 
      are also backed up.
    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can define a separate script that's 
      triggered by the middle button.

Code: Select all

    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: Added tweak 
      MDBULoupeSpeed. Factory default is 100 (percent). This, for example, would make it 
      half as fast:
        MDBULoupeSpeed=50
      Note that only with value 100 the mouse up on the moved, blown up original (and 
      thereby closing it) will end up at the exact same point on the thumbnail.
    * Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: The loupe speed 
      for MDBU on icons is now half as fast as before.

Thanks a lot for added "ShrinkToFitVirtualMonitor" and "MDBULoupeSpeed" tweaks. Allows me to resize only the vertical image, it feels very comfortable. :biggrin:
