Changes in 12.0.12 Beta:

Miscellaneous

  • High DPI glyphs for multi-column sort indicators.
  • Manual sort drop targets to rearrange files now get larger with higher DPIs.
  • The scripting Date.Format method can now be given arbitrary format strings (in addition to the old "d" and "t" flags which format things the same as the file display). Full format strings use the same syntax as the {date} and {time} command codes and various Rename date/time codes.
  • Fixed manual sort repositioning insertion from picking the wrong item sometimes if the icon mode sort header is turned on.
  • Manual sort insertion markers now DPI scaled and larger, using the same look as the similar folder tab markers.
  • Fixed manual sort insertion marker not appearing to the top or left of the first visible item (unless it was the first item in the folder, i.e. you were not scrolled at all).
  • The "slave tabs" system now uses the same algorithm as Navigation Lock in terms of staying in and going out of sync (i.e. when it goes out of sync it will show a warning message rather than changing the tab to show the same folder as the other side). The term "Slave Tab" has been replaced with "Navigation Lock" in the user interface to avoid confusion (since there's really only one system now instead of two completely separate ones).
  • List and Small Icon modes have slightly more padding left and right of their labels at higher DPIs.
  • High DPI glyphs for folder tab close buttons, when set to small size.
  • In the metadata pane, the EXIF Altitude field wasn't being copied when the other GPS position fields were copied from one picture to another.
  • Closing a tab by double-clicking its label could result in the file display losing focus.
  • Fixed glitch in Rename dialog when saving a preset that had been created out of another preset that was marked as a favorite.
  • When an existing viewer was recycled with a new file list, the viewer "marked" panel did not repopulate based on the new list.
  • Added Show VIEWERCMD=scroll command to control scrolling in the standalone viewer.
  • Fixed issue with breadcrumbs path field which could incorrectly show a ghost path and no real path if you went from. e.g. a child folder on the desktop, back to the desktop, and then to C:.
  • Duplicate Files panel now resizes to use all available height.
  • Fixed combobox controls in the utility panel drawing their labels on top of the panel's scrollbars.
  • Fixed being able to drag the utility panel too far up into the file display.
  • Fixed Listers which open with a shrunken utility panel not adjusting its height to match the file display border, if the related option is on.
  • If the utility panel opened shrunken, resetting the panel's size by double-clicking its header now restores the previous expanded size or the default size, rather than making it very small.
  • Functions which switch to utility panels, including the logs, will now by default expand the utility panel if it is collapsed.
  • Functions which toggle the utility panel will now, by default, expand it when turning the panel on, if it was saved in a collapsed state. You can use the noexpand keyword to prevent this, e.g. Set UTILITY=find,toggle,noexpand would open a collapsed Find panel if that was how it was last saved. You can also explicitly specify expand if you would like expansion to take priority over closing a panel if the panel is currently in a shrunken state, e.g. Set UTILITY=find,toggle,expand (you'd probably want to add focus as well). When neither expand nor noexpand is explicitly specified, the default is to expand when showing the panel (including when changing which panel is displayed) and to not expand when hiding the panel.
  • Fixed crash evaluating label filters which use script columns.
  • Fixed image filter clauses Color Model, Flash, Orientation, and Dimensions (but not individual Width and Height) not matching correctly, and crashing in some situations.
  • Fixed minor utility panel issue with combobox pop-ups not always responding to the mouse wheel, introduced in recent betas.
  • Look and feel improvements for folder tabs when on the left or right.
  • Folder tabs which are dragged from one window to another now have their tab colors and labels preserved.
  • In the Labels list in Preferences, the selected label's name is now drawn on top of the selection highlight so that the label's color isn't "muddied".
  • Fixed editing a folder tab's label being cancelled if you typed something and then clicked another part of the tab bar; this now applies the change.
  • Fixed opening layouts with minimized Listers not giving focus to any of the layout's non-minimized Listers.
  • Tree path highlight "use color from tab" option now considers individual, user-defined tab colors as well as tab-link colors.
  • Rename in standard mode no longer cares if you have a wildcard in the "old name" field and no wildcard in the "new name" field.
  • Tree path highlight now draws inactive, custom-color lines with increased contrast, if shadows are enabled, since some of the default colors were previously very hard to see on a white background.
  • Fixed color picker using the same icon for both copy and paste.
  • The labels list in Preferences now displays icons tinted by the selected color if a label is set to both apply an icon and tint it. If a label tints icon colors without applying an icon a square of the tint color is now shown instead of an icon.
  • The Filter Bar drop-down of file extensions and groups did not work properly when regular expression mode was enabled.
  • Similar to the labels list in Preferences, menus generated by Properties SETLABEL now show recolored icons or color squares if the label has an icon color set.
  • You can now drag & drop the branches from the breadcrumbs pathfield.
  • Fixed a problem with Go FOLDERCONTENT which could cause some folders to be left out of the list when enumerating non-filesystem folders like Quick Access.
  • Deleting files in the viewer now moves you to the next file quicker. Previously there was a half-second delay.
  • With FAYT "Highlight matches" on and "search anywhere" off, highlights used to be drawn for matches anywhere in names but would stop being drawn if you typed something which no name in the folder began with. Now, the highlights continue to be shown in this mode, but slightly lighter.
  • Fixed unwanted horizontal scrollbar in some situations involving Auto+Fill and Collapse columns.
  • With multiple columns set to Collapse, they are now reduced right-to-left instead of left-to-right.
  • Fixed problem which could cause the scrollbar in a file display to stop working properly if the display was grouped by Status Icons.
  • If the list is grouped by the status or label columns a read of all labels is now triggered automatically (previously this happened when sorted, but not when grouped).
  • Collection icons can now be specified via aliases.
  • Path completion is now much faster in folders with a large number of items. (e.g. Type /system/ into the icon browser path field and the list of DLLs will appear much sooner.)
  • Some small improvements to the UI for selecting icons when dealing with external files.
  • The default toolbar set will now be updated if you rename one of the toolbars it points to. Previously, using custom toolbars and then renaming them could leave you with Listers which had missing toolbars.
  • Fixed layouts being copied to the top-level if you saved a folder format and told it to update existing Listers, and had affected Listers below folders.
  • Fixed text viewer not working over FTP connections if the Hex Viewer option was disabled.
  • Fixed problem where copying one folder to another, sibling, folder could incorrectly result in "You can't copy a file over itself" error.
  • Fixed bug where a queued Copy As function would forget the new name you had entered for the file (and ask again once the function ran) if you didn't use a wildcard pattern.
  • Added Set FDBTOOLBAR and Set VIEWERTOOLBAR commands, to allow scripts to change which toolbars are in use for these elements.
  • Added Toolbars script object (obtained from DOpus.Toolbars) which has fdb and viewer properties.
  • Fixed bug where copying a menu containing a label field in it could duplicate the label in certain situations.
