Explorer++

Revision History

Version 0.9.2.1 (15/02/2009)

New features:

  • Each tab now has an icon attached to it (the folder icon from the tabs' current directory).
  • The default directory for new tabs can now be set from within the 'Default Settings' pane of the 'Options' dialog.
  • Explorer++ is now compatible with application command buttons and keys, such as the back and forward buttons found on some 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 not it was actually placed on the clipboard. Fixed.
  • The address bar would not scroll horizontally. Fixed.
  • Fixed tab highlight bug.
  • Because of a timing problem, it was possible that when Explorer++ was opened, the first icon(s) shown may not have been correct. Fixed.

Misc:

  • Ctrl+N can now be used to create a new folder.
  • On a rename operation, if a files new name contains an invalid character [\/:*?"<>|], an error dialog will be shown.
  • When an item is put into rename mode by clicking on it twice, only the files name (and not the files extension, if any), will be selected.
  • An error message is now shown when attempting to open a 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 this version (this only affects bookmarks saved to the registry).
