v18.20.0300 - 2017-08-25 12:00
= MAINTENANCE RELEASE.
+++ Minor bug fixes and enhancements.
v18.20.0208 - 2017-08-24 16:23
+ SC tweak: Added "TouchScreenMode", examples:
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 0); //set to 1 (16x16)
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 1); //set to 1 (32x32)
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 2); //set to 2 (48x48)
So now you can play with TouchScreenMode on the fly.
+ SC tweak enhanced: Added a "value2" parameter which allows toggling
between two specific values.
Syntax: tweak(key, [value], [value2])
key: Name of the setting (identical to its INI key).
value: Numeric. Desired value of the setting.
If "" then value is toggled between 1 and 0.
If missing then only the current value is returned.
value2: Numeric. If passed then the function toggles between value and value2.
return: The old value before the tweak was applied.
Examples:
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 1, 0); //toggle 1 and 0
tweak("TouchScreenMode", ""); //toggle 1 and 0, old way
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 2, 0); //toggle 2 and 0
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 2, 1); //toggle 2 and 1
tweak("TouchScreenMode", 1, 2); //toggle 1 and 2
v18.20.0207 - 2017-08-23 13:52
+ Tweak TouchScreenMode: Experimentally added a tweak to force bigger icons
in Tree, List, and Catalog. Big enough to be touched with big fingers.
TouchScreenMode=0 'normal (usually 16x16 at 100% screen resolution)
TouchScreenMode=1 '32x32
TouchScreenMode=2 '48x48
This allows you to carry XY on a stick to any touchscreen system and still
use it without changing the host system display settings or bringing a mouse.
! Drives did not auto-refresh after mapping a network drive (Win 10 only).
Fixed.
v18.20.0206 - 2017-08-22 20:40
+ SC ReadFile enhanced by new "raw bytes" mode which allows a binary-safe
reading of bytes without any codepage-related conversion.
Name: ReadFile
Action: Read data from file into string.
Syntax: readfile([filename], [mode], [numbytes])
filename: file full path/name, or relative to current path
defaults to the current file
mode:
t: [default] text
whether file is ASCII or UNICODE is auto-detected
b: binary (converts bytes according to the active codepage)
corresponds to mode "b" in WriteFile()
r: raw bytes (binary safe, no conversion)
corresponds to mode "r" in WriteFile()
Examples (showing the first 50 bytes of the current file as hex dump):
text hexdump(readfile( , "b", 50), , "b"); //conversions possible
text hexdump(readfile( , "r", 50), , "b"); //you see the true bytes
Obviously, the "r" mode is recommended when doing a hex dump.
! File | To Clipboard | Text: The copied the raw bytes to the clipboard when
in fact it should have copied the interpreted bytes, e.g. decoded UTF-8
etc. Fixed.
! The locale related fix in v18.20.0203 has gone too far. The preview of
normal texts did not use the default codepage, e.g. Arabic, anymore.
Fixed.
v18.20.0204 - 2017-08-21 20:15
* Configuration | Tags | Toggle Labels by Label column click: Renamed the
setting to "Toggle tags by column click" matching the new functionality
added in v18.20.0202.
* Info Panel | Tags: Now the "Edit Text" font (Configuration | Fonts | Edit
Text) is used where tags or comments can be typed in. This is consistent
with other interfaces where tags or comments can be edited.
! Tags: Deleting several tagged files at once, or folder containing several
tagged files, could lead to a crash if those files were at the very end of
the alphabetically sorted list of all tagged items. Fixed.
v18.20.0203 - 2017-08-21 13:47
* Tags: Now the last used Comment is stored between sessions. This had
already been done for the last used Labels and Tags.
! Locale related errors when reading binary files because in some contexts
there still were some non-binary-safe conversions. As far as I see only
East-Asian locales were affected by this bug. Fixed.
v18.20.0202 - 2017-08-20 18:04
* Configuration | Tags | Toggle Labels by Label column click: Experimentally
this setting now also applies to Tags in the Tags column, and to Comments
in the Comments column.
The caption of the setting will be adjusted later if the experiment is
successful.
* Click and Search: Now when you click an item in a "Click and Search"
category any switches in the category are combined with any switches in
the item. Before, switches in the item were ignored when switches were
present in the category.
v18.20.0201 - 2017-08-19 15:21
* Age: The unit "week(s)" has been replaced by the unit "month(s)". The
latter appears to be easier to process for most brains.
The average length of a month is taken as 30.436875 days, which is the
12th part of 365.2425 (the average length of a year in days).
! Age Circles: Drawing glitch with checkboxes in Extra Columns when Age
= MAINTENANCE RELEASE.
