What's new in StartExplorer 1.0.0
Feb 23, 2012
- Finally, this plug-in supports Linux and Mac OS and not only Windows!
- Bugfix: Select File in File Manager option was neither stored nor used.
New in StartExplorer 0.9.0 (Feb 23, 2012)
- Context Assist for variables in configuration dialog for custom commands.
- You can now configure the resource type a custom command is intended for, either "Files", "Folders" or "Files & Folders". If a custom command that is intended for files is execute on a directory, a dialog box with an error message is shown and no action is taken. If, on the other hand, a custom command intended for a folder is executed on a file, the command automatically uses the parent directory. Finally, for a custom command that is intended for files & folders, no such check is executed before invoking the command.
- "Copy resource path to clipboard" is now also available from the editor view. This didn't make sense before (because it more or less would only copy the selected text to the clipboard) but in connection with the feature to use the file opened in editor when the text selection is empty this is quite useful. By executing this on an empty text selection, you can now copy the path of the edited file directly to your clipboard.
New in StartExplorer 0.8.0 (Feb 23, 2012)
- Changed behavior for "Show resource(s) in Windows Explorer" and "Start a Windows Explorer in this path": if you select a file (not a directory), the corresponding file will be selected in the Windows Explorer instance that is to be opened. This new behavior can be disabled by unchecking "Select File In Explorer" in the preference page.
New in StartExplorer 0.7.0 (Feb 23, 2012)
- Now it is possible to invoke the StartExplorer commands (predefined and custom ones) from the editor window for the file currently opened in the editor. If the current text selection is empty, the file being edited will be used for "Start Windows Explorer", "Start file with system editor", "Start cmd.exe", ...
- New defaults for custom commands. The default custom command "Edit with UltraEdit" has been discarded, instead, there are two custom commands using Notepad and one that echos all variables just to showcase which variables can be used.
New in StartExplorer 0.6.2 (Feb 23, 2012)
- Comprehensive Eclipse Help documenation. Go to Help -> Help Contents -> StartExplorer Help to read it.
- Two new variables: In addition to ${resource_path}, ${resource_name} and ${resource_parent}, there are now two new variables: - ${resource_name_without_extension}: File name or directory name of the resource, without path and without extension - ${resource_extension}: Only the file's extension (aka suffix)
