New in 13.3.1:
- File labels can now be set to strikethrough as well as bold/italic/underline.
- Added option to Folder Options / Columns tab to Reverse the Index column. This makes the Index column count down to 1 instead of counting up from 1. Clicking the column header will also toggle this option.
- Added two new options relating to folder formats:
- Preferences / File Displays / Options / Preserve folder format edits between folders: If turned off, disables the normal behaviour where if you make a change to the folder format in a tab, this is preserved when going into other folders in that tab.
- Preferences / Folders / Folder Formats / Automatic Formats / Use as the default format for all sub-folders: If turned on, an automatically remembered format for a folder will be used as the default format for any children of that folder as well (unless they have their own format, automatic or otherwise)
- Preferences / File Displays / Options / Preserve folder format edits between folders: If turned off, disables the normal behaviour where if you make a change to the folder format in a tab, this is preserved when going into other folders in that tab.
- Added options to Preferences / File Displays / Folder Expansion:
- Clear selections within collapsed folders: When an expanded folder is collapsed, any items within it that were selected have their selection status cleared (so that when you expand the item again they will be unselected).
- Collapse sub-folders within collapsed folders: When an expanded folder is collapsed, any expanded sub-folders within it are also collapsed (so that when you expand the item again they will be unexpanded).
- Clear selections within collapsed folders: When an expanded folder is collapsed, any items within it that were selected have their selection status cleared (so that when you expand the item again they will be unselected).
- Under Preferences / Folders / Virtual Folders / This PC, added option to hide Media Servers from the This PC folder.
- Added Preferences / Filtering and Sorting / Find-As-You-Type / Auto search option, configures the time delay after typing in the FAYT search modes (Everything, etc) before the search automatically starts.
- Added Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: [Behavior] searchfield_autostart which does the same thing for the search field (top-right of the Lister). If this is set to 0 the setting for the FAYT is used by default.
- Added Preferences / File Displays / Folder Expansion / Expansion delay setting, to configure how long it takes a folder in the file display to expand when dragging over it.
- Added Preferences / Folder Tree / Expand/Collapse / Expansion delay setting, to configure how long it takes a folder in the folder tree to expand when dragging over it.
- Added Preferences / Toolbars / Appearance / Global Scaling, allows a global scaling factor to be applied to toolbar button icons
- Added Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: [Behavior] config_backup_name which lets you configure the default config backup filename template. It supports date/time strings and environment variables.
- When making a config backup, you can now exclude the currently open windows and tabs (without excluding all other state data). New checkbox in the UI, and BACKUP=notabs value for the command.
- Added case argument for Go EXPANDBRANCH command to make regex/wildcard path matches case sensitive
- Added ScriptCommand.noprogress property. Set to true when adding the command to disable automatic progress dialogs for your command.
- Added scripting Control.case property to set/get edit control upper/lower case state.
- Script FAYT extensions are now by default called for empty strings (i.e. before the user has typed anything). The new ScriptFAYTCommand.wantempty property can be set to false to disable this behaviour.
- Added scripting Viewer object imagesize and selection properties; returns the size of the current image and the current selection (if any).
- Dropping files onto script buttons now works again.
- The {gfl} status bar code once again shows the padlock or info icon in grayscale.
- Entries in the Paired Folders list in Preferences can now be individually disabled.
- Fixed errant / label showing up in progress dialog when copying files out of a zip file with the queue tab visible.
- Fixed scripts list scroll position resetting when a script is enabled or disabled.
- Evaluation columns which rely on the value of script columns now work properly.
- Everything local search now works if regular expression mode is enabled.
- Fixed the filename "highlight" effect when using Ctrl+Shift+Up or Down in inline rename not restoring the background color properly if the background was set to use a non-existent image and no unselected background color was specified.
- Expanding folders on MTP devices no longer shows the cryptic internal filenames of the subfolder contents.
- Fixed two-way synchronize between MTP and local not recognising that files already existed on the MTP device and wanting to delete them from the local folder.
- Improved Synchronize exclusion list logic.
- Changing the synchronise exclusion list after doing a comparison now triggers the "new comparison needed" message.
- Fixed Win+<key> hotkeys rendering with the + as part of the second key instead of between the two.
- The order of Image Conversion presets can now be set arbitrarily (though sorting alphabetically is still the default). If presets have been assigned to groups or favorited, the Image Conversion context menu now respects this.
- Rename AUTONUMBER now works correctly across devices.
- In Tiles mode, fixed infotip with {thumbnail} code for a folder with a custom icon incorrectly resetting the icon back to the default folder image.
- Fixed file notification not working in OneDrive folders with the folder tree closed.
- Fixed problem with indexed search in FAYT auto-closing the FAYT after editing the search term.
- Right-clicking on the button for a zip file in the breadcrumbs path field now shows the context menu for the zip file itself rather than the limited menu for zip file contents.
- Toolbars now behave the same to Alt+<key> as they do to Alt, <key> (i.e. Alt+H, or press/release Alt, then press H, will both show the Help menu).
- The Customize / User Commands tab now has a search field at the bottom.
- Made a change to try to prevent Lister minimising/other window coming to front if a modal script dialog is closed.
- The Item.id property is now valid for script columns.
- Attempted fix for crash ID 192.
- Fixed Set FORMAT incorrectly turning off the "group" column if it was added automatically (due to the Preferences option) and the new format is still grouped.
- The menu generated by Go TABLOCK=menu (on the default folder tab context menu) now supports Shift/Ctrl/Shift+Ctrl on the various lock commands to lock all/all to the right/all to the left (as documented and as in Opus 12).
- The suggestion popup list now works in the FAYT on the first key press if command mode is the default.
- If user/script commands have a description this is now shown in the FAYT suggestion popup list in command mode.
- Fixed persistent tab-scoped variables not being remembered in some cases (Listers with only one tab per file-display opened in a particular way).
- Fixed {thumbnail} code in tooltip definitions truncating any text that came after it on the same line.
- Fixed List mode sort header not redrawing if the Find-As-You-Type field appeared over it and was then hidden.
- Improved startup check for being launched while the installer is still running.
- Print Folder column list no longer uses the Printer font specified above.
- If the Preferences option Save descriptions to internal file metadata if possible was turned off, this was being ignored if a file already had a description set.
- Performance improvement for file/folder context menus (when UWP context menu components are updated and old versions are left installed for some reason).
- Duplicate Finder > Select dialog now expands the whole folder tree, instead of only up to the level of the first duplicates. Make it easier to see if child levels are being included or not.
- Wav file durations are now rounded up to the nearest second. In particular, wavs less than a second long will be reported as 1 second instead of "N/A".
- (Also in 13.3) Fixed toolbars getting temporarily confused if you converted a button-menu to a menu and then edited the first item.
