Version 1.4.0 (29/01/2024)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
New features:
|
|
- The bookmarks system has been rewritten. The updated system has
|
|
the following changes from the previous system:
|
|
- Bookmarks are now managed in a very similar way to how
|
|
they're managed in web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.
|
|
Bookmarks can be added to one of three top-level folders:
|
|
- Bookmarks toolbar
|
|
- Bookmarks menu
|
|
- Other bookmarks
|
|
- The add bookmark and manage bookmark dialogs are more
|
|
functional than their equivalents in the previous version.
|
|
For example, the manage bookmarks dialog allows items to be
|
|
renamed directly (rather than by opening the edit bookmark
|
|
dialog) and shows an appropriate context menu for bookmark
|
|
folders in the treeview.
|
|
- Bookmarks can now be copied/pasted.
|
|
- When a bookmark is copied, the location of the bookmark is
|
|
also copied as plain text. This makes it possible to paste
|
|
the location into other applications.
|
|
- Bookmarks can now be dragged and dropped between the bookmark
|
|
windows.
|
|
- Bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar can now be arranged via
|
|
drag and drop.
|
|
- Right-clicking an item in the dropdown shown when clicking a
|
|
folder on the bookmarks toolbar now shows the appropriate
|
|
context menu.
|
|
- In addition to being able to bookmark the current tab, it's
|
|
also possible to bookmark all open tabs.
|
|
- When a bookmark is displayed, the icon for the associated
|
|
folder will be used (rather than a generic icon).
|
|
- When right-clicking a bookmark folder, it's possible to open
|
|
all child bookmarks in new tabs.
|
|
- A number of issues present in the previous system are no
|
|
longer relevant. For example:
|
|
- The bookmark menu wasn't being built correctly (folders
|
|
could be shown with the wrong name).
|
|
- Selecting "Bookmark This Tab..." from the dropdown shown
|
|
when clicking a folder on the bookmarks toolbar had no
|
|
effect.
|
|
- "Open" and "Open in New Tab" items would be shown when
|
|
right-clicking a folder on the bookmarks toolbar, but
|
|
selecting them would have no effect.
|
|
- Neither the bookmarks toolbar nor the bookmarks menu would
|
|
update when a bookmark was moved up/down.
|
|
- The bookmarks menu wasn't updated when a bookmark was
|
|
updated.
|
|
- The bookmark description field has been removed.
|
|
- Settings are now automatically saved every 30 seconds. This
|
|
helps to prevent recent tabs or other settings from being lost
|
|
if the application crashes.
|
|
- The default icons used by the application have been updated.
|
|
Additionally, a second set of Windows 10 style icons have been
|
|
added. It's possible to switch between the two icon sets via
|
|
Tools > Options > General > Icon theme.
|
|
- Added partial support for high DPI displays.
|
|
- It's now possible to reopen a recently closed tab using File >
|
|
Reopen Recent Tab. The most recently closed tab can be reopened
|
|
using Ctrl+Shift+T.
|
|
- The display window can now be displayed on the right.
|
|
Previously, it was always displayed at the bottom.
|
|
- Support for the "Date Deleted" and "Original Location" recycle
|
|
bin columns has been implemented.
|
|
- A context menu is now shown when right-clicking the empty space
|
|
in the tab bar.
|
|
- When renaming a file, it's possible to move to the next item by
|
|
pressing tab. Shift+tab can now be used to move to the previous
|
|
item.
|
|
- Toolbar buttons are now available for the following actions:
|
|
- Split file
|
|
- Merge files
|
|
- Close tab
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- The way in which column results and file icons/thumbnails are
|
|
retrieved has been updated. This update brings a number of
|
|
advantages:
|
|
- Because of the way in which column result/icons/thumbnails
|
|
were retrieved previously, it was possible for the
|
|
application to crash if a navigation occurred while one of
|
|
these items was being retrieved. Navigating to a different
|
|
directory or closing a tab while results are being retrieved
|
|
should now have no negative effects.
|
|
- Column details are only retrieved for items that are visible
|
|
(rather than all items).
|
|
- Previously, it was possible for a user interface update to be
|
|
done after a navigation had occurred. That is, column data
|
|
for an item in a previous folder would be inserted into the
|
|
listview for the current folder. This is no longer possible.
|
|
- Previously, if an item was moved (within the listview) or
|
|
deleted, it was possible for the wrong item to be updated
|
|
once a column result/icon/thumbnail had been retrieved. This
|
|
is no longer possible.
|
|
- When right-clicking on the listview background in Windows 10,
|
|
Explorer++ would crash. To resolve this, the OneDrive shell
|
|
extension is now ignored when showing the menu. See #35.
|
|
- Items in virtual folders (e.g. library folders) can now be
|
|
renamed and deleted.
|
|
- Items can now be copied to/moved to virtual folders (using the
|
|
"Copy To Folder"/"Move To Folder" functionality).
|
|
- New folders can now be created in virtual folders.
|
|
- Fixed issue with date conversion. Previously, dates would be
|
|
converted in the current time zone, rather than the time zone
|
|
in effect at the time being converted.
|
|
- Fixed an issue that caused taskbar thumbnails (shown on Windows
|
|
7 and above) to not always be displayed correctly. See #55.
|
|
- When renaming a file, it's possible to press tab to put the
|
|
next file into edit mode. On Windows 10, pressing tab would
|
|
select the next file, but it would not go into edit mode.
|
|
Fixed. See #50.
|
|
- Previously, when creating a file via the new menu in Windows
|
|
10, the file would not be put into edit mode. Fixed. See #48.
|
|
- The Explorer++ icon shown in the volume mixer was larger than
|
|
it should have been. Fixed. See #24.
|
|
- Under certain conditions, switching to a tab using the taskbar
|
|
thumbnails would result in the wrong tab being selected. Fixed.
|
|
- Under certain conditions, refreshing a tab via the tab
|
|
right-click menu would result in the wrong tab being refreshed.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
- Fixed a crash that could occur when switching directories.
|
|
- When grouping items by date created/modified/accessed, the
|
|
items weren't being properly sorted into their groups (as
|
|
month/year boundaries weren't being handled). Fixed.
|
|
- Previously, when a date was formatted as a friendly date,
|
|
year/month boundaries weren't being taken into account. This
|
|
meant that a date would only be shown as "Yesterday" if it was
|
|
in the same month/year as the current date. Fixed.
|
|
- When adding or removing a column via the listview header
|
|
context menu, the sort by/group by menus wouldn't be updated.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
- When opening the set file attributes dialog, the creation date
|
|
shown was incorrect. Fixed.
|
|
- The set file attributes dialog wasn't correctly handling the
|
|
case where an attribute checkbox was indeterminate. Fixed.
|
|
- There was an issue that meant that the group sorting direction
|
|
in one tab could affect the group sorting order in other tabs.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
- When adding the folders button to the main toolbar (either by
|
|
resetting the toolbar or by adding that individual button),
|
|
the state of the button wouldn't be set correctly. Even if the
|
|
folders pane was shown, the button wouldn't be checked. Fixed.
|
|
- When using the "list" view mode, right-clicking the empty space
|
|
in a row would inconsistently result in the item being
|
|
selected. Now, an item is only selected if you right-click its
|
|
filename label.
|
|
- Some columns were effectively skipped over when saving data to
|
|
the XML config file. Additionally, if one of these columns
|
|
appeared first, the application would crash when exiting.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
- When loading from the XML config file, the initial color in the
|
|
color rule dialog wasn't been loaded correctly. Fixed.
|
|
- There was an issue that prevented labels in the treeview from
|
|
being unfolded. Now, if you move the mouse over a treeview
|
|
label that's only partially visible, the rest of the label will
|
|
be shown in a tooltip.
|
|
- Fixed a number of memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
Misc:
|
|
- Windows XP and Vista are no longer supported. Windows 7 is now
|
|
the minimum supported version.
|
|
- All menus are now drawn in the standard system style, rather
|
|
than a custom style.
|
|
- More detailed help information is now available when starting
|
|
Explorer++ from the command line with the --help flag. Each of
|
|
the available options is listed and briefly described. The
|
|
names of some of the options have also been updated.
|
|
- Starting a command prompt via the file menu opens a command
|
|
prompt in the current directory. Starting an admin command
|
|
prompt now does the same thing (rather than opening in the
|
|
default directory).
|
|
- The format used to display dates has been updated. Previously,
|
|
the date and time were separated by a comma. Now, they're
|
|
separated by a space.
|
|
- Infotips for files/folders are now retrieved on a background
|
|
thread. This stops the application from hanging when
|
|
retrieving the infotip for a large folder.
|
|
- Listview icons are now cached. This helps to avoid the
|
|
flickering that can occur when refreshing a directory or going
|
|
back/forward (the apparent flickering occurs as the default
|
|
file/folder icons are replaced with the actual file/folder
|
|
icons).
|
|
- Due to the way in which listview items were deleted when
|
|
navigating away from a folder, navigations away from large
|
|
folders could be slow. This process should now be quicker.
|
|
- The way in which the document summary fields (e.g. title,
|
|
subject) are retrieved has been updated. This means that the
|
|
fields should now be displayed for more file types (e.g. Word
|
|
documents).
|
|
- When selecting a file path with spaces in the application
|
|
toolbar button dialog, the path is now quoted (which is
|
|
necessary for paths with spaces).
|
|
- An error message is now shown when opening an item on the
|
|
application toolbar fails.
|
|
- The columns in the select columns dialog are now sorted by
|
|
name, with the current set of columns appearing at the top of
|
|
the list.
|
|
- When grouping by file extension, the application would attempt
|
|
to retrieve the extension for both files and folders. Now, the
|
|
extension will only be retrieved for files. Folders will be
|
|
grouped together in a "Folder" group.
|
|
- The order in which view modes are cycled (when clicking the
|
|
"Views" button on the toolbar or scrolling the mouse wheel
|
|
while holding ctrl) has been reversed to match the order used
|
|
in Windows Explorer.
|
|
- A third-party credits dialog has been added, which can be
|
|
opened via the about dialog.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.3.5 (03/02/2013)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
New features:
|
|
- Added support for another drag and drop format (which is used,
|
|
for example, by Outlook 2003 when copying attachments).
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- The 'Open in New Tab' menu item was not always been added to
|
|
the folder context menu. Fixed.
|
|
- Previously, file times could not be set for a directory using
|
|
the set file attributes dialog. Fixed.
|
|
- A UTF-16 LE BOM is now written when pasting text (as a file).
|
|
|
|
Misc:
|
|
- Logging is now available. It can be enabled using the following
|
|
command:
|
|
explorer++.exe -enable_logging
|
|
Information will then be saved to Explorer++.log, which will be
|
|
created within the same directory as the executable.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Implemented the media protection column.

|
|
- If the search dialog was closed while searching, the
|
|
application would crash. Fixed.
|
|
- When clicking the 'Close' button while searching (in the search
|
|
dialog), the dialog would not close until the search was
|
|
finished. It could also result in a crash. Fixed.
|
|
- Fixed multithreaded bug in the search dialog.
|
|
- In certain areas (such as the search dialog), Unicode
|
|
characters were not been converted to lowercase correctly.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.3.3 (29/10/2011)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- The media duration column was previously showing times in
|
|
100-nanosecond units. Updated to hh:mm:ss.
|
|
- The processed search string (rather than original search
|
|
string) was been stored in the search dialog. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
Misc:
|
|
- When searching using the search dialog, if the filename entered
|
|
already appears in the history list, it will simply be swapped
|
|
to the first position (rather than been re-entered).
|
|
- The number of history entries stored for the filename field in
|
|
the search dialog is now capped at 20.
|
|
|

|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- Under some circumstances, a copy and paste/drag and drop
|
|
operation would fail (when copying a message from Outlook 2010,
|
|
for example).
|
|
- Fixed bug in customize colors dialog (entries were not been
|
|
moved up/down correctly).
|
|
- When renaming a file in the listview with IME turned on, text
|
|
was been overwritten (because the text selection was modified).
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
- Links to zip files will now be opened in an external program,
|
|
if 'Open zip files in Explorer++' is unchecked.

translation was loaded. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
Misc:
|
|
- The help file (if present) can now be launched from the
|
|
Help|Help menu. It must be named "Explorer++ Help.chm" and be
|
|
in the same folder as the Explorer++ executable.
|
|
- Updated 'Always hide the link (.lnk) extension' option to read
|
|
'Hide the link (.lnk) extension'.

|
|
brings up its context menu.

|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|

- Fixed a crash that occurred when collapsing a node in the
|
|
treeview.
|
|
- When single-click activation was enabled, and an area in the

listview was selected, any file under the mouse when it was
|
|
released would be opened. Fixed.
|
|
- Fixed 'Open Parent in New Tab' bug (parent of current tab would
|
|
always be opened, regardless of which tab was clicked).
|
|
- When opening a folder in a locked tab, the newly created tab
|
|
was not switched to correctly (which caused directory
|
|
modifications to fail, for example). Fixed.
|
|
- Fixed toolbar bug (when a button was added or removed from a
|
|
toolbar, the length of the toolbar would be reset, causing it
|
|
to resize).
|
|

|
|
- Fixed 'Copy Universal File Paths' bug.
|
|
- Previously, if 'Hide file extensions' was checked, the display

|
|
only files names are altered.
|
|
- When 'Single-click to open an item' was selected, navigation up

|
|
|
|

------------------------
|
|
New features:
|
|
- Explorer++ can now replace Windows Explorer for all folders
|
|
(Vista and later only).
|
|
- New drag and drop type supported (this will now allow files to
|
|

|
|

|
|
- If a cd/dvd was inserted/removed, the entire drive would be
|

|
|

extension would be dropped.
|
|
- When renaming a file within the listview, if the proposed

|
|
operation would appear to succeed, even though it had not (as
|
|
filenames cannot end with a trailing space or period).
|
|

a period, everything before the period would be selected (as
|

mice and keyboards.
|
|
- Infotips can now be turned off, set to the system ones (i.e.
|
|
the ones used by Windows Explorer), or be set to custom (for
|
|
now, this simply sets the infotip to be the files modification
|
|
date).
|
|
- Tab lock state and custom name are now saved between sessions.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- Fixed several directory monitoring bugs.
|
|
- Shortcuts that pointed to a website (via a URL) would
|
|
previously not be opened within the default browser. Fixed.
|
|
- When two files were selected, whose individual sizes were less
|
|
than 4GB, but whose combined size was greater than 4GB, the
|
|
combined size would not be shown correctly. Fixed.
|
|
- When a file size was between 1000 and 1024 of the specified
|
|
unit (bytes, KB, MB, etc), the fourth character would not be
|
|
shown, causing the size to appear to be incorrect. Fixed.
|
|
- Fixed a paste file bug.
|
|
- If a file that could not be cut (such as a virtual item) was
|
|
cut anyway using Ctrl+X, the item would be ghosted whether or

|
- The address bar would not scroll horizontally. Fixed.
|
|
- Fixed tab highlight bug.
|
|
- Because of a timing problem, it was possible that when

|

|
|
|
Misc:
|
|

only the files name (and not the files extension, if any),
|
|
will be selected.

|
|
shortcut that points to a non-existent item.
|
|
- Items on the 'Go' menu now have their names taken directly
|
|
from the operating system. This means, for example, that the
|
|
'My Computer' item will be shown as 'My Computer' on XP, but
|
|
'Computer' on Vista.
|
|
- Added an error message for the situation when a new folder
|
|
could not be created.
|
|
- A slight change to the bookmarks key means that bookmarks
|
|
saved in previous versions will not have their paths loaded in

|
