xplorer2 v6.207 BETA

Post by nikos »

version 6.3 is almost ready, here's a sampler of the new features:
https://www.zabkat.com/test/xplorer2_se ... t_beta.exe

if anybody is using Everything search with a network index please let me know. Now everything is only used for local files.

also, if you have windows 11 including the "new" folders called gallery and home, please let me know. My w11 VM hasn't received the latest updates.

here's the summary of new features, more details in changelog:
* integration with EVERYTHING search engine for most kinds of search commands. Everything 1.5a must be running. Searches for file attributes that aren't indexed are not going through Everything.

* ACTIONS > NEW menu command lets you create templated file and folder names, using environmental variables e.g. %USERNAME% as well as $-tokens like $D for today's date.

* A few options were moved from advanced (external) into regular, available from TOOLS > OPTIONS menu

* If you turn on "Alternative auto-refresh mechanism" advanced option (GIOPT_ALTAREFRESH), it will also improve the folder tree change sensor.

* CIDA files now save the scrap window view state (details, groups, sort direction etc) alongside the contained files and folders.

* Programmable function NUMF to format numeric properties in a "printf" fashion, e.g. to see file size in hexadecimal define a programmable column like:
NUMF("%08X", ${Size})

* one extra programmable column is available in CUSTOMIZE menu (total 5).

* Programmable column and macros are NOT converted to lowercase
