Changes since 12.24.3:

Please note that as an experiment, on an ARM64 system the 12.24.4 installer will install the x64 build rather than the x86 build. If you're going to try the beta on ARM64 and previously had Opus installed you should backup your configuration and uninstall the 32 bit version before installing this version.
  • Fix for "not empty" error when attempting a non-recycle-bin delete of a non-empty folder which was flagged as a reparse point but was not a symbolic link or junction.
     
  • Fix for script dialog editor not allowing you to drag something away from and then back to its original position without releasing the mouse and dragging it again.
     
  • Opus now knows that .jfif files are JPEG images without having to inspect their contents, to work better with images saved by Chrome with incorrect extensions.
     
  • Fix for scripting metadata object not providing all types of metadata (e.g. image metadata) if, say, a file's User Comment was edited and the script (rather than file display columns, etc.) was then first thing to request the file's new information.
     
  • Go FOLDERCONTENTfilefilter and dirfilter parameters now support embedded quotes should you need to specify patterns containing commas, which would be parsed as the end of the parameter otherwise.
     
  • Go FOLDERCONTENT can now limit the number of files and dirs it shows using maxfiles=x and maxdirs=y. With recursive menus, the limit is applied separately to each level.
     
  • Go FOLDERCONTENT=nodirs now also excludes shortcuts to directories.
     
  • Fixed bug which resulted in high CPU usage and the Set As Default Lister dialog failing to open if the folder tree was locked and two toolbars with certain elements shared the same line.
     
  • If you lock the folder tree via the tree header, then hide the header, the tree will now be unlocked until the header is turned back on, even if you had used the Set TREELOCK command at some point in the past. The tree now only stays locked without a header if the lock was created via the command rather than the header.

Changes since 12.24.2:

  • Added Select SIMILAR=trueext argument; causes the command to ignore multi-part extensions. E.g. file.part1.rar, file.part2.rar and file.part3.rar would all be considered to be .rar files rather than having different extensions.
     
  • Added Go LIMITPATH (and Prefs LIMITPATH) arguments, which let a Lister be restricted to one or more paths (and any folders under those paths).
     
    • Go LIMITPATH=current restricts the Lister to all the paths currently shown in all tabs.
    • Go LIMITPATH=reset removes path restrictions for the current Lister.
    • Path restrictions are saved in Lister Layouts (and the Default Lister).
    • New Listers opened from an existing Lister will inherit its path restrictions by default (unless the LIMITPATH argument is used to override).
       
  • The advanced wordbreak_char_names and wordbreak_char_paths settings now have default values that include the typical punctuation characters. Previously, edit controls using these settings considered a very minimal set of word-break characters, unless you manually configured additional ones, which was a slight regression from Windows defaults. (If you edited either setting in the past, you may need to reset it now to get the new defaults. If you liked things how they were, set both settings to an empty string.)
     
  • The advanced wordbreak_char_names setting is now used by more dialogs which prompt for a file name, including Clipboard PASTE AS=ask.
     
  • If FAYT and Filter Bar Keys has Filter Bar as the default mode, typing to open the filter bar and then pushing Esc will now reset the filter back to what it was before you started typing, rather than to the first character typed.
     
  • Fixed issue with thumbnails in tooltips showing the wrong size for videos and some other file types, if the tooltip specified a different thumbnail size to the file display.
     
  • Fixed a potential deadlock if Set VIEWERCMD=delete was followed in a button by another Set VIEWERCMD command, and a script was installed that processed viewer events.
     
  • Fix for calling IColumnProvider::GetItemData with pwszExt set to the file name instead of just the extension. (Thanks to the Tracker Software / PDF-XChange team for reporting this!)
     
  • Fixed viewer pane splitter being thinner than other splitters in high DPI.
     
  • Fixed problem with script dialog static controls not respecting their background color if text alignment is set to anything other than top.
     
  • Script dialog group controls now render correctly if you set their titles to an empty string.
     
  • Script Control object's label property can now also be accessed via the alternative title name, since both terms are used in different places.
     
  • Fixed F1 help not displaying if two script add-ins added custom documentation.
     
  • Script help pages can now be larger than 32413 bytes.
