File Commander/2 v. 2.50 (latest snapshot from unstable branch, 21/4/2025, Brian Havard) Readme/What's new
File Commander development snapshot versions ============================================ Warning: This code is likely to be completely untested. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Please do not use this code unless you make regular backups and wouldn't mind too much if your entire hard drive was wiped. It is likely to contain bugs, have some functions broken and contain partially implemented features. commit d186115433703162a3de62e860d20bc7c1082696 Author: Brian Havard <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> Date: 2025-04-20 22:31:35 Possible fix for viewer's syntax state sometimes getting out of sync. commit 85a842fbd4617e0a24ad637ccdc0f79f891503e5 Author: Brian Havard <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> Date: 2025-04-17 17:51:25 Add template for Debian trixie. commit eddb289012fcb5ef4e596c322d5bfa798769f49e Author: Brian Havard <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> Date: 2025-02-23 15:43:41 Scripting: Fix possible crash when calling a lambda function after the context that created it has ended. EG a function returns a map that has function reference values set and the caller then calls the functions stored in the map. Also fix a valgrind warning about use of an uninitialised variable in the tokenizer

File Commander/2 v. 2.40 (3/3/2010, Brian Havard) Readme/What's new
New in File Commander/2 v2.40 ============================= New Features o Support includes in user menu files. o Syntax highlighting in the viewer. o Viewer and editor support for Unicode text files. o Support for 7zip archives. o Support for bzip2 files. o File Information display (Ctrl-I) shows complete file metadata. o Ctrl-Shift-E to eject removable media & Ctrl-Shift-L to load. Minor Enhancements o Change the search match highlight colour in the viewer from "Menu Bar" to "Highlight" which is consistent with the editor and more sensible. o Preserve the case of environment variable names.  Case insensitive matching is now Unicode based so will work with all languages. o Allow re-sorting of File Find results before search has finished. o Use a separate thread to update the file copy progress box to reduce flicker and improve copy speed. o Editor: line length limit of 64kB removed. o Added new syntax highlighting directive, "statechange" which allows more flexible state transitions. o Added includes in syntax defintion file. o Add support for Unicode file names in RAR archives. o TAR file support improvements - Fix checksum calculation when there are bytes in the header >127. - Interpret file names as UTF-8. o Added field in File Find to specify the code page used when searching files for the "Containing" string. o Copy/Move: Add ability to specify overwrite mode in the initial dialog so that you don't have to wait for the first collision to occur. o Add !lf operator to provide a list of tagged files with their full path. o Add !tf (tagged file with full path). o Add ability to remove an entry from command history with Delete key. o Syntax Highlighter: Add /w flag for syntax states of "word scope" to assist with LISP keywords. o Syntax Highlighter: Enable word characters to be redefined for each state. Bug Fixes o User Menu: Make menu item hot key work if specified in lower case in the mnu file. This used to work in 2.20 but was broken while adding support for sub-menus. o Fix display of hex view when code page translation is active. Was "translating" the vertical bar separators. o Fix file copy ETA overflowing copy progress dialog & causing screen corruption when a huge file copy starts off slowly. o In Change Case, mixed mode should not capitalise the character after an apostrophe. o In viewer, fix background colour of line continuation markers (right arrow at the end of a line that's longer than the window when unwrapped). o Multi-file search/replace confirmation prompt, extend box width if necessary to fit the text values and don't overflow box if text still won't fit. o Fix !F when opposite panel is showing an archive's contents. o Fix !t behaviour in archives.
