Release 14.80



XYplorer 14.80 has been released on 22-Dec-2014. Here's a quick introduction to the main new features:

Find Empty Items. Now you can quickly list all empty files and folders.

Simply append the switch /e (for "empty") to the Name pattern in Quick Search (F3) or Find Files (Ctrl+F). For example:

* /e        //find all empty items (zero byte files and empty folders)
a* /e       //find all empty items starting with "a"
a* /ef      //find all empty files starting with "a"
a* /ed      //find all empty folders starting with "a"
Find Containing Folders. Now you can list all folders containing a certain file or file type, files of a certain size or age, or with certain other properties. You can as well list all folders NOT containing such files.

To list all folders containing certain files simply append the switch /p (for "parent") to the Name pattern in Quick Search (F3) or Find Files (Ctrl+F). For example:

readme.txt /p  //find all folders that contain a file readme.txt
green /Lp      //find all folders that contain a file labeled "green"
* /p           //find all folders that are not empty (= that are parents)

To list all folders NOT containing certain files simply append the switch /x (for, uh, "not") to the Name pattern in Quick Search (F3) or Find Files (Ctrl+F). For example:

*.jpg /x            //find all folders that don't contain any JPG file
size: > 50KB /x     //find all folders that don't contain files larger 50KB
prop:#empty:1 /x    //find all folders that don't contain any empty files
Enhanced Photo Data. Showing Photo Data is now much faster than before. And the data layout has been improved.

Large Tile (192x192) along with Camera Model, Focal Length, F-Stop, Exposure Time, ISO Speed, and Date Taken.

Photo Data Columns. The basic photo properties Camera Model, Focal Length, F-Stop, Exposure Time, ISO Speed, and Date Taken can now be shown in file list columns, so you can quickly view them and sort by them.
