XWP v1.0.17
« on: February 05, 2025, 05:07:52 am »

XWorkplace v1.0.17 is now available.

New Features
  • Icon Size page
    For users who have 'Dynamic Icons' installed, a new page has been added to the Desktop's notebook. It provides a simplified way to set the size of icons in folders and XCenter, and ensures all Desktop folders use the size you have chosen. D.I.'s original settings page remains available if you prefer icons that are considerably larger or smaller than the default.
     
  • Memory Map widget
    This addition to XCenter displays private and shared memory use graphically. Unlike other memory utils, it also shows how much memory is unassigned and could be used as either. A quick glance at this "gray area" identifies how much free memory remains without having to examine any numbers. For those who do like numbers, clicking on the widget will display this info numerically.

Updates and Bugfixes
  • Trashcan: objects in the Trash Can now display their original icons rather than the objects' class default icon. The "Trash full" icon now displays properly when 'Dynamic Icons' is installed.
     
  • XWP-Full: first-time installs of XWP-Full are now pre-configured to match the feature set of XWP-Lite. Your ability enable/disable any XWP feature remains in place. The initial "Install objects" dialog has been removed since all objects are created by WarpIn during installation.
     
  • German NLS: Mathias Rißler has provided a major rewrite of the German NLS.
     
  • Startup: displaying the Startup Folder's settings no longer resets the Startup Delay spinbutton to 1 second.
     
  • Folder views: an update now prevents folders from being subject to multiple concurrent refreshes.
     
  • DiskFreeCondensed widget: the widget's saved size is now restored properly when XCenter is opened.
     
  • Sound object: settings that were changed shortly before shutdown might  not be saved; XWP now ensures that they are.

Thanks Rich, I just downloaded it.
By the way, it seems your SSL certificate is out of date...

Hello Rich

Between the crazy stuff we suggest/request for XWP, I have this request that almost all modern OS has that I will call it “GUI Navigator”.

The idea it to have in as an option on “View” so it will not affect any user if he thinks this is a bad idea. 

-

This “Navigator” view will be a mix between the “xView” and a new toolbar on the window that will provide you the “Path” of the directory that you can copy+paste to go to that folder. And with two arrows that will remember where you were before, and if you moved and went back the front arrow that remember where do you used to be (like the icons of the web navigator software). It is nothing outstanding but it is something we don’t have as default on the OS.

-

What do you think? I know it is not something fast or easy to do, but this will be a nice feature to have on the WPS desktop.
Regards
