Preferences

  • Added "Preferences / File Displays / Folder Expansion / Save space when no folders are present" option. Hides folder expanders when there are no sub-folders present in the file display.

  • The "Highlight previous folder on Up/Back" option now flashes an overlay rectangle to highlight the folder rather than underlining the text. The color is configurable via "Preferences / Colors and Fonts / Directory Opus Colors / [Other Colors] Miscellaneous".

  • Split the appearance-related controls under Preferences / File Display Modes / Details to their own page (same as for power mode now). Added "Use left padding only when grouped" option for both Details and Power Modes Appearance Preferences pages. If enabled, the configured left padding will only take effect if the file display is grouped.

  • The Preferences search field now ignores diacritics.

Miscellaneous

  • The image conversion dialog now has an option (for JPEGs) to only rotate if lossless. If the rotation can't be performed losslessly it will be skipped (unless other selected options mean the image has to be recompressed anyway). The Image command has a new LOSSLESS argument for controlling this. This replaces the old NOLOSSLESS argument (although that still works for compatibility with existing buttons).

  • The inline rename edit field now displays a warning tooltip when any path separator characters are entered. Click the tooltip's close button to prevent the message from appearing again.

  • Double-clicking in an edit control (e.g. inline rename) to select a word now excludes delimiters (space, hyphen, etc) from the end of the selection. Added the "edit_wordselect_delimiters" advanced Prefs option to control this.

  • Middle mouse button can now be used in an edit control to select a word (same as left double-click).

  • When using the FAYT in a search mode (e.g. Windows Search or Everything), the Enter key is now passed through to the file display after the search has been run.

  • Added an option for Evaluator columns to not cache their values for display. This will reduce performance but means columns based on variable data like the index column will be reliable.

  • The Go TABGROUPLIST command now supports embedded commands which will be passed to each generated button.

  • A @label: clause in a button can now return false if it wants the button to have no label at all. Note that returning an empty string causes the button's default label to be shown.

  • The "long operation" notification dialog now includes information about the call site in some cases. This may make diagnosing some problems easier.

Fixes

  • A button that runs Set COLUMNS=!default is no longer incorrectly disabled.

  • Turning off Ask for confirmation before merging existing folders is now respected by archive plugins.

  • Fixed Properties dialogs blocking progress dialogs opening for the same lister, until they were closed.

  • Fixed delay and possible memory leak involved with processing file changes (introduced in a previous beta).
