 - Krusader NEWS
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - This file should contain a brief description of new features.
 - In some way an extension to the ChangeLog.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 2.8.0 A New Day -----------------------
 
 New features: Tab convenience.
     - Duplicating with double click
     - Closing tabs with Ctrl+LMB or Alt+LMB (configurable)
     - Undoing the closed tabs while the app is running
     - Dynamically sized tabs
     - New tab position is configurable
     - New Tab Button behavior is configurable
     - Tab button visibility options fine-tuned
 
 New feature: History and suggestions in New Folder dialog.
 
 New feature: Hit Rename shortcut (F2) multiple times to cycle through
     full name, file name and extension selections.
 
 New feature: Shift+Del removes undesired entries from the history in various dialogs.
 
 Improved sync between the panel and embedded terminal.
 
 Improved color configuration.
 
 Change: Default shortcuts for New Tab and Duplicate Current Tab are swapped
     to align with other KDE software.
 
 Change: Default shortcut for embedded terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T to Ctrl+Alt+E)
     to avoid a conflict with default global shortcut for the terminal.
 
 Fixed 60+ issues including some crashes, important problems with viewing archives
   and iso files, file selection and directory deletion. See ChangeLog.
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 2.7.2 Peace of Mind -------------------
 
 Bug fix release. See ChangeLog.
 
 -------------------------------- 2.7.1 Peace of Mind -------------------
 
 Bug fix release. See ChangeLog.
 
 -------------------------------- 2.7.0 Peace of Mind -------------------
 
 New feature: Quick Search in Bookmark menu
     - Just type letters to search: bookmarks are matched by name prefix
     - Once a single bookmark is matched, it's immediately triggered
     - If multiple bookmarks are matched by the prefix, they are highlighted
         and the first one is selected - hit Enter to activate the bookmark
     - Accelerators work only if the keystroke is the first one
     - Backspace is supported
     - Search is case insensitive unless you type a capital letter
     - Search bar visibility can be controlled in Konfigurator
     - Search bar is intentionally a read-only field
 
 New feature: Tab pinning.
     - A pinned tab is a locked tab with temporarily changeable address.
     - Available from popup menu of a tab.
 
 New feature: Tooltip with file information when you hover a file name.
 
 New feature: Extended options for Tree Panel (activated by a popup menu at the header)
     - Show/Hide hidden folders
     - Start the tree from the closest Place (i.e. device)
     - Start the tree from current directory
 
 New feature: -d option.
     - Turns on debug output in Krusader.
     - Helpful for bug reports - we encourage to attach debug console output to reports.
 
 Change: Default Multi Rename shortcut is changed (Shift+F9 -> Shift+F2)
     to align with the default Rename shortcut (F2).
 
 Addressed issues of using custom icon themes and running in non-KDE environments.
     - Icons are rendered according to per-icon fallback logic:
         - Your active theme is matched first
         - Fallback icon theme specified in Konfigurator is matched next
         - Breeze or Oxygen are matched next if they are installed.
             Please note that Breeze is icon-complete theme for Krusader,
             Oxygen has also become icon-complete recently, and these themes
             are considered to be weak dependencies of Krusader meaning that
             in order to run smoothly one of these should be installed
             (we don't require it's activated though).
         - If no match is found, a special "missing" icon is rendered.
     - Due to improved algorithms, your MIME icons (file type icons) should
         look better (more icons are found, they are coming from an active theme
         if found in there).
 
 Fixed 40+ issues including some regressions. See ChangeLog.
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 2.4.0 - 2.6.0 -------------------------
 
 News for these releases were not written at the release time. Please refer to ChangeLog.

 New feature: QuickFilter:
     - "QuickFilter" action (default shortcut CTRL+i) shows and focuses quickfilter
     - when quickfilter is focused: Return sets focus to panel
     - when panel or quickfilter is focused: ESC closes QuickFilter
 
 New feature: dbus interface: org.krusader.Instance.openUrl(QString url)
     - path: /Instances/<instance>
     - if there is already a tab open with that url, it is activated, otherwise a new tab is opened in the active panel

 New feature: when single-instance mode is active, and it is attempted to start a new instance with an url as argument
              or the --left/--right options, the url(s) is/are opened in the already running instance
 
 New feature: url command-line argument
     - opens the specified url in a new tab in the active panel

 Alt+Down                               Toggle Popup Panel
 
 New feature: support for tar.lzma (KDE's tar protocol doesn't support it yet)
 http://www.krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2032
 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176881
 
 New feature: Possibility to choose one of 5 methods of sorting in the panel.
    Konfigurator->Look&Feel->Panel
    - Alphabetical - strings are compared character by character
         (no context rules from locale applied). Alphabet characters are
          compared using locale rules, special characters are compared by
          the character code.
    - Alphabetical with numbers - the same, but if the names contains numbers
          the numbers are compared numerically instead of alphabetically.
    - Character code - comparison by character code - quick.
    - Character code and numbers - the same with numerical comparison of numbers
    - Krusader (default) - the comparison used so far. Uses comparison using
          locale rules (even context rules). Only if the sorting is set to be
          case sensitive and the current locale compares case insensitive,
          compares by character code (?).
    Thanks Jacek Jaworski who suggested a patch.
 
 New feature: Queue manager
              Use F5 (copy) or F6 (move) and than F2 to use it.
              Or the direct shortcuts: copy by queue (SHIFT+F5), move by queue (SHIFT+F6).
              Queueing is used for one-by-one copying.
              E.g. if you have a pen drive (which is slow), and you want to copy 40 files
              onto it, it's much better copying them one-by-one instead of starting to copy
              40 files in parallel. That's why enqueuing is important.
              If you pack/unpack 40 files parallelly, you overload your computer,
              but adding them to a queue (which is not yet implemented into Krusader),
              is much more useful.
              http://www.krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=810
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 2.0.0-beta1 ---------------------------
 
 New feature: Krusader is able to send e-mails by thunderbird
    - one can set up thunderbird as an e-mail sender in the dependencies
    - from now more than one file can be sent in an attachment
 
 New feature: for content searching (searcher, advanced selection,
     synchronizer), the content encoding can be given.
 
 New feature: select remote encoding for krarc
   - the file name encoding for zip, rar, arj, lha can be set from now
   - as 7z always uses UTF-16, remote encoding will not work for 7z
   - it's important because zip files that were created on Windows can
     have different encoding
 
 New feature: new synchronizer shortcuts
   - CTRL + W : reverse direction
   - ALT + Down : exclude
   - ALT + Up : restore original task
   - ALT + Left : copy to left
   - ALT + Right : copy to right
   - ALT + Delete : mark for delete
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 1.80.0 --------------------------------
 
 UserActions: Expander: Many fixes, better error handling, sensible
   %_Each&-handling. Finally I managed to implement Jiri's 100k patch for
   the useractions. This patch handles the Each-placeholder much better
   (i.e. allows Each inside Copy and can deal with multiple Each's) and
   provides a good base for future extensions. Thanks a lot!
 
 New feature: atomic extension. 
   - Extensions known to be atomic (like tar.gz) are now handled properly
     both in the panel and during rename. The list of atomic extensions
     can be provided through "Atomic Extensions" in [Look&Feel] in
     krusaderrc.
 
 New feature: rename just the filename, without extension
   - in the look&feel page, disable "rename selects extension", and then,
     when you rename a file, only the filename will be selected, but not
     the extension
 
 New feature: full screen terminal (mc style)
   - if enabled in look&feel, pressing the required shortcut to show
     the terminal emulator will hide all of krusader, just like midnight
     commander.
 
 New feature: right click menu for bookmarks
   - after right clicking on a bookmark, a popup menu appears with
   
       Open
       Open in new tab
       Delete
 
     menu items.
 
 New feature: enable/disable the special bookmarks
   - right click on a special bookmark
     (Popular URLs, Devices, Local Network, Virtual Filesystem, Jumb
     back, Set jump back, Bookmark Current or Manage Bookmarks)
   - a new rightclick menu appears containing the special bookmark items
     if a menu item is checked then the bookmark is enabled
   - one can enable/disable separately the following special bookmarks
       - the "Popular URLs" bookmark
       - the "Devices" bookmark
       - the "Local Network" bookmark
       - the "Virtual Filesystem"
       - the "Jump back" and "Set jump back" bookmarks
 
 New feature: keeping the directory structure of copying/moving from
              virtual folders
   - assume we have 3 URL-s in a virtual subfolder
     /home/myhome/mydir1/myfile1
     /home/myhome/mydir1/myfile2
     /home/myhome/mydir2/myfile3
   - in the destination folder we would like to get:
     mydir1/myfile1
     mydir1/myfile2
     mydir2/myfile3
   - Just press F5 for copy (dialog appears)
     source MUST be a virtual subfolder!
     target MUST NOT be a virtual folder!
   - in the dialog, there's a new option:
     "Keep virtual directory structure"
   - check it
   - select /home/myhome/ for base URL
   - start the copy / move
 
   - AND: the directory structure will be kept at copying!
     that's it! :-)
 
 New option in look&feel: directories are always sorted by name
 
 Big cleanup in the UserAction module:
   - dropped support of "same_as"-attribute in the description-tag
   - dropped need for a manual name-conflict-resolution, now a number is
     append on double names
   - reduced the memory-consumption drastically due to internal changes
   - added copy actions to clipboard / past actions from clipboard
   - multiselection for export/remove/copy
   - renamed the actionfile we provide to useraction_examples.xml,
     so that we can merge new examples with existing installations
   - on export one can now choose between overwrite and merge is the
     file already exists and contains useractions
   - Actions are now manages with ActionMan; the list is now a
     categorized tree with icon and title instead of the identifyer.
   - On the UserAction page in Konfigurator you can now change the
     Terminal for UserActions and the font for the output-collection.
 
 New archive handling:
   supports passworded arj, ace, rar, zip
   step into hidden archives by pressing <RIGHT> on the archive
   decompressing debian packages by Alt+U
   using KWallet to store the passwords
   writes out the error messages of the archiver
   archive type autodetection by its header (first 512 byte)
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 1.70.0 --------------------------------
 
 New global calculate space function:
   Used to calculate occupied space inside archives remote FS and in
   virtual VFS need KDE >= 3.3
   for local FS the old (and faster) code is still used.
 
 New zip/tar slave - based on KDE's but support writing to archive
   Modified KDE tar slave (which also handle ZIP archives) to support
   writing. Compared to kr_arc:
   Pros: Speed. No need for external binary. Speed. did I mentioned
   speed?
   Cons: does not support delete from archive.
   (You need to change the protocol registration to use this slave)
 
 New configure-switches:
   --without-konqueror - builds Krusader without Konqueror's servicemenus
   --without-javascript - builds Krusader without JS support
   In the past the support was always compiled in when the headers where
   found.
 
 Jump-Back:
   If you create a new tab the startup-path is saved. You can now step
   deep into the dir-tree and Ctrl-J brings you back to your starting
   position. It's also possible to set the current directory manually as
   Jump-Back-Point.
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 1.60.0 --------------------------------
 
 Useraction: new placeholder: %_ListFile()%
   is replaced by path/filename of a temporary file containing a list of
   items usefull for external scripts
 
 Custom Selection Mode
 
 Popular Links - krusader's answer to google-ranking :-)
   In the bookmarks menu, you'll see a new submenu called "popular urls"
   From now on, krusader keeps track of every url you visit (also remote)
   and keeps a ranking for every url. the more you visit the url, the
   higher the ranking. clicking the popular links menu displays the top
   15 links sorted by popularity. the top is the most popular. this is
   easy for when u need to visit urls often, but don't want to create a
   bookmark. this is also a better "history" since unlike the 'history'
   button, this ranking accumulates urls from all tabs.
 
   also use the two-enter dialog:
   * open it
     (ctrl-z or bookmarks->popular urls->popular urls(bottom of list))
   * type few letter to narrow the search
   * hit enter (you'll go to the url list)
   * hit enter again and the panel is refreshed!
   
 
 Virtual VFS.
   This is not a virtual folder !
   but more a container for URL's from different file system.
   just perfect for displaying search results and so on...
   Action you perform on the files in this VFS are performed on the
   'real' files. you don't just delete files from the VFS - you delete
   them from your hard drive.
   limitations:: you can't create directories inside a virtual VFS.
 
 Primitive scripting support.
 condition: KJSEmbed is installed (package: KDEbindings)
   Ctrl+Alt+J opens the JavaScript-console. There you can play around:
   try 'Krusader.setCaption("Hey Ho, Let's go!");',
   "Krusader.children();", "Krusader.child("help").slots();",
   "alert(Krusader.properties())" and "Krusader.child("help").show();"...
   In addition a new placeholder for the useraction,
   %_Script(path/to/script.js)% executes an external file.
   If the path is relative the file will be read from
   <KDE-app-data>/krusader/js/
   If a UserAction should execute the return of a script, set the second
   parameter of %_Script()% to "return=cmd".
   In this case the Variable 'cmd' will be read.
   additional the second parameter can be used to pass variables to the
   script:
   "return=lala;foo=bar". here the variable foo will have at the
   beginning of the execution the value 'bar' and the return-variable is
   called lala instead of cmd. Warning: very alpha!!
 
 krusader has now a new toolbar: actions toolbar. you can show/hide it
 using the view menu --> show actions toolbar. useful to put actions (and
 later bookmarks), put in as a side toolbar with small icons. __you'll
 have to overwrite krusaderui.rc__
 
 color scheme can now be imported/exported. reachable in the colors page
 in konfigurator
 
 disk usage (tools menu + 3rd panel)
 
 changing the coloumns by right clicking on the panel's header
 
 Refresh-in-the-background: from now on, reading a remote url or
 the contents of an archive is done in the background. this means
 that krusader remains responsive and can be used to do whatever you need
 in any other panel or tab.
 
 useraction:new placeholder %_PanelSize%
   This placeholder can change the ration between the two panels.
   %aPanelSize("80")% makes the active panel use 80% of krusader's width
   (height in vertical-mode)
   ommitting the parameter means 50%
 
 useraction: new placeholder: %_Each%
   This placeholder splitts the commandline into a list where
   %_Each(...)% is replaced by one
   list-item (all, all files, all dirs, all selected). These commands are
   executed one after another.
 
 Full viewer in the 3rd hand (thanks to illissius)
 
 Shift-DEL will delete a file and not move it to the trash as DEL does.
 (total commander like)
 
 Import/Export keyboard shortcuts from/to a file. want krusader to become
 total commander in a single click? no problem!
 
 Mouse selection modes is back! check out the Look'N'Feel section
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 1.51 ----------------------------------
 
 The long awaited feature: Fn keys can be changed to different shortcuts
 
 Total-commander refresh: when krusader isn't focused, it is not refreshed
 at all.
 
 Pressing ctrl-up arrow from the panel, jumps to the origin bar
 
 
 
 -------------------------------- 1.50 ----------------------------------
 
 Human-readable file sizes is implemented (located in look&feel->panel)
 
 From now on, Konqueror's right click menu is imported to Krusader
 
 Cut (ctrl+x), Copy (ctrl+c) and Paste (ctrl+v)
   are available. They even work with Konqueror.  Please test it.
 
 Compare by content: you can now either:
   - select (mark) one file in the left panel, and one in the right panel
   - select exactly two files in the active panel
   - make sure there is a file in the other panel with the same name as
     the current file in the active panel
 
 Panel profiles: now it is possible to store environment profiles.
   An environment profile contains the following:
   - all the tabs path (left / right)
   - the current tab   (left / right)
   - and the selected side (left or right)
   You can save / restore these tabulator profiles. Please test it.
 
   Those users who use the CVS version of Krusader, should delete the
   krusaderui.rc from their home directory, to make the new menu and
   toolbar items visible.
   (rm ~/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc)
 
 Synchronizer:  now you can use the search filters in the synchronizer
 
 Useraction:  removed placeholder 'Bookmark'. It is deprecated now since
 the new bookmark-system can be accessed directly like a user action. If
 you need it anyway, use 'Goto' instead.
 
 TC like searching: if you type 'text' -> results the same as '*text*'
 You can exclude files from the search with '|'
 (ex. '*.cpp *.h | *.moc.cpp' )
 
 Search is possible on remote file systems as well.
 
 If you have filesystems that you don't want to accidentally unmount (or
 mount), just go to Konfigurator->Advanced, and enter a list of mount
 points separated by commas, for example: /, /boot, /tmp) and mountman
 won't try to (un)mount them.
 
 Mountman got a big nose-job ;-) please test it well.
 
 You can now drag'n'drop to the new tree view
 
 Shift+left/right changes tabs (thanks to Dmitry Suzdalev)
 
 New vfs_refresh() function only updates changes when you re-read a panel
 and changes the content without the annoying full redraw effect.
 
 When closing Krusader, the tabs are saved and restored
 
 Synchronizer profiles:
   Krusader handles synchronizer profiles. In synchronizer press
   the 'profile' button, and you'll be able to add / load / save / remove
   synchronizer profiles.
 
 Synchronize with Kget:
   If you want to synchronize a local directory with an unstable ftp
   server, Kget is a much better solution than simple file copying. After
   comparing you may right click on the result list and select
   'Synchronize with kget' to execute the synchronization, after that the
   listed files will be downloaded with kget instead of Krusader.
 
 Dropping URLs onto the status / totals line:
   If a directory contains a lot of subdirectories, it may not be
   possible to drop the URL onto the panel (on which only directories are
   visible). Now the URL can be dropped onto the status / totals line
   instead.
 
 Sync-browsing:
   With a little toggle-button in the panel-level toolbar the SyncBrowse
   mode is activated/deactivated.
   When active, each directory change in the specific panel is performed
   in the other panel also.
 
 User-Actions:
   With the user action system the user can make his own actions on files
   in the panel or access Krusader internal functions with parameters
   directly using the placeholder.
   The actions integrate seamless into KDE's action-system, so the
   standard edit-toolbar/shortcut-dialogs can show/manipulate the user
   actions, too. The user actions are stored in
   ~/.kde/share/apps/krusader/useraction.xml (the file-structure is
   documented in doxygen-headers of UserActionXML) User Actions can be
   edited/added/im-/exported using a new Konfigurator module (although I
   plan to move all action-related to a new ActionMan. For more info, see
   http://www.jonas-baehr.de/forum/Krusader-ideas.txt)
   Currently, these placeholder are implemented (for details see
   UserAction/expander.cpp or doxygen):
     Path       replaced by the panels path
     Count      replaced by the number of <first parameter>
     Filter     replaced by the panels filter-mask
     Current    replaced by the current item
     List       replaced by a list of all <first parameter>
     Select     manipulates the selection in a panel
     Goto       changes the panels's path to <first parameter>
     Ask        asks the user for a some text and is replaced by the
                answer
     Clipboard  manipulates the clipboard
     Copy       copies a file, useful for quick, local, backups
     Sync       opens the Synchronizer with a given profile
     NewSearch  opens the search-windows with a given profile
     Profile    loads a given panel-profile
 
   A GUI-based helper for placeholder-adding is provided.
   In Path, Current and List spaces are per default automatically escaped.
