Changes since 12.16.3:

  • The new Show LOADALLTHUMBS command can be used to trigger the loading of all thumbnails in the current folder (equivalent to having the Preferences / File Display Modes / Thumbnails / Load all thumbnails in a folder automatically option turned on).
     
  • The ContextMenu SHOWCMDS command now displays the context menu commands in a listview rather than a plain text dialog.
     
    • The list can be sorted by the various columns and can also be filtered to make it easier to find a desired command.
       
    • Right-click an item in the list to create a command line in the clipboard to run the command.
       
    • Fixed a problem which meant some context menu commands (e.g. those added by Dropbox Smart Sync) were inaccessible.
       
    • Added ContextMenu LABELRAW argument, allows the label to be provided via a raw argument which supports embedded quotes.
       
  • The old EXIF Lens Type field is now called Lens Model (as this is its correct name) and the Lens Make field has been added.
     
  • Updating the lens model in XMP data now works correctly.
     
  • The size shown for images in the standalone viewer's status bar now uses automatic units rather than being fixed to KB.
     
  • Malformed zip files that contain a directory entry called ./ are now handled correctly.

Changes since 12.16.2:

  • Prefs LAYOUTTHISLISTER has a new nopanels parameter which allows you to apply a layouts size, position or paths to the current window without applying its panels (viewer pane, dual file display, utility panel, etc.).

  • Fix for theme import skipping images, icons or sounds if the config folders for them did not already exist.

  • Fixed codes like {file|noext|escwild} and {file|ext=*|escwild} removing/replacing the extension twice from names containing multiple dots.

  • Sped up rendering and scrolling of the file display, particularly when files are selected and vertical grid lines are in use.

  • Fix for opening a Folder Tab Group containing linked tabs, when the Lister already has linked tabs which aren't being closed.

  • Improved detection of the file display's current drive being removed when the folder tree is not in use. (Should trigger navigation up to This PC aka My Computer.)

  • Fixed label fonts/colors not always being applied to copied files until after a refresh (F5).

  • Print Folder now correctly shows all labels if the Label column is turned on in the format.

Changes:

  • Added command to tell the Lister viewer pane to open a specific file. e.g. Show VIEWPANECMD="open,C:\My Image.png".
     
  • Added Show VIEWPANECMD=clear to unload any current file and clear the viewer pane.
     
  • Fixed Show VIEWPANECMD buttons being disabled if no files were selected.
     
  • Added Wild.EscapeString script method to escape any wildcard characters in a string.
     
  • List Mode scrollbar handling improved when the window is not wide enough to fit a whole column of files.
     
  • Fixed script output panel scrollbars not always adjusting properly when they were resized. Also fixed flickering when moving the output panel splitter in the CLI dialog.
     
  • Added mitigation for issue which caused desktop and taskbar icons to flash repeatedly on at least one person's systems, apparently due to SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED events triggering themselves in a loop.
     
  • Fixed problem introduced by OneDrive mitigations that stopped thumbnails in Dropbox working.
     
  • Setting file descriptions using NTFS now works on long paths (while the path length is no longer limited as such, if the total path length is greater than 260 chars then the length of the filename you're setting the description on is limited to approximately (236 - <temporary path length>) ).
     
  • Experimental support for high-resolution scrolling via mousewheels and trackpads. This has been added for the file display, the folder tree, and certain lists like the main category list in Preferences. People without high-res devices shouldn't notice any difference.
