Software update: XYplorer 23.30

Version 23.30 of XYplorer has been released. This file manager for Windows has tabs, an extensive search function and a versatile preview. It is small and does not need to be installed to do its job. The user interface can be set up entirely to your own taste and there are various options for automating tasks that often occur. A standard license costs forty dollars. The program can be used forever, but you will only get updates for a year. For double you will also receive the updates forever. The changelog for this release looks like this:

What’s New at 23.30?

• Ordinal Date. The new Ordinal Date option for the date format eliminates the months from the equation and only displays years and days. This makes it easier to estimate a date difference at a glance. For example, today would be “2022-179” (year 2022, day 179). The Ordinal Date format is used by the military in some contexts, so it’s safe to assume it has its uses.
• Preview Pane to the Left. Now you can show the Preview Pane to the left of the file list. The obvious advantage is that the previews then are nearer to the name column, which is where you usually look and click.
• Duplicate File Finder Can Ignore Numbers. Now it can optionally ignore serial numbers and strings like “Copy of” that are auto-attached by Windows to the name of a file copied in the same place. If “Ignore numbers” is enabled, the file names “Fred.txt”, “Fred (1).txt”, “Fred (2).txt” and “Fred – Copy (2).txt” are considered duplicates.
• Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to “(I’m) Stranded” of The Saints.
