What's new

Version 2.0.1
 - Reworked the readme (formulations (especially for content plugins), translated forgotten text to German, created German images)
 - Added customization of content plugins to the user interface
 - Added language dropdown to user interface
 - Added: the additional user interface may now hide the preset dropdown
 - Added tooltips to the additional user interface
 - Fixed: It’s now possible to store "tcmatch.ini" in "UTF16 LE" instead of ANSI (thanks to AHK_L)
 - Fixed: the additional user interface closes when TC is minimized to tray
 - Fixed: the user interface is closed if TC is not running

Version 2.0.0
 - Added an additional user interface, to choose the search mode, change most important search options and to use presets
 - Added an user interface to customize all options beside the content plugin options. (they still need to be changed in the ini)
 - Improved the speed, when content plugins are activated but not used. (thanks Hacker)
 - Added ini option "wdx_cache" to allow caching of content plugin searches.
 - Reworked the readme.
 - Added German readme and language for user interface.

Version 1.6.0
 - Added a new search-mode: "srch" (default activation char: "*") With this search you may skip letters of the filename. So the filter "dwn" will find the files "Download.zip" and "Sandra went to town.docx".

Version 1.5.3
 - Added a new [replace] section to the ini where it's possible to replace chars by a string. Could be used to replace diacritics by any other char or string. See "readme > 3. Customize > Replace section" for details and examples.
 - Fixed a bug when converting ANSI wdx output to Unicode. Diacritics were not translated properly.

Version 1.5.2
- Greatly improved the performance by around 80%-90%! It's just like a lightning now in a folder with 10.000 files.
- Added uninstall information’s in the readme.

Version 1.5.1
 - Important change: The name "Google like Quicksearch" changed to "QuickSearch eXtended".
 - Clean up the first post, so that the user will more likely read the readme. ;-) (Full history is now only available in readme.)
 - Change: Default value of “wdx_separator_char” is now "/" instead of "\". The backslash prevented to use the RegEx search.
 - Fixed: Filtering files in FTP mode is possible again. (broken in Version 1.5)
 - Disabled wdx and “filter_files_and_folders” for network drives, FTP and inside of zip files.
 - Some readme cleanup and redesign.

Version 1.5
 - Added: New activate char "simple_search_match_beginning_activate_char=^" available in ini.
 - Added: Changes in the ini have immediately effect. Restart TC only necessary for: "allow_empty_result"
 - Fixed: The option "case_sensitive" was ignored for Russian language. (and probably other languages too) Didnt fix it for the RegEx library.
 - Improved wdx support:
   - Added: Groups for wdx plugins. Create them by adding a "wdx_group=..." entry to the ini. (see readme for syntax) Use groups with the new "wdx_separator_char=\".
   - Dirsizecalc seems to work.
   - Unicode filenames are converted to 8.3 when calling plugins without Unicode support.
   - "ft_fulltext" should work now without size limit. (not tested)
   - Changed: Ini option "debug_output" has now 4 states: 0=no output, 1=output wdx errors (default), 2=additional information about wdx values, 3=output all wdx function calls
   - For performance reasons wdx content is only taken from the file if the file is not already included because of the filename.

Version 1.42
 - Change for ini option "match_beginning": If there is a space before the first written substring the substring can match anywhere in the filename.

Version 1.41
 - Added: New ini parameter "negate_char=!" to invert the search. The char must be written in front of the whole search string to invert the search.
 - Changed: The ini is now searched at path of "tcmatch.dll" first. If not found it is searched in path of "wincmd.ini". If both no ini does exist at all it is tried to create the ini in the same order.
 - Changed: The default value of "allow_empty_result" is now 1. (Not changed for existing inis)
 - Change for ini option "match beginning": Just the first written substring must match the beginning of the filename.
 - Improved readme file

Version 1.4
 - Added: Limited wdx plugin support. See "3. Customizing" of readme for usage.
   ! does not work with real unicode files and nonunicode plugins (The conversion from unicode filename to nonunicode filename is currently done char by char.)
   ! "ContentGetDetectString" and "Units" are ignored
   ! only untranslated Fieldnames can be used
   ! only 8192 chars are extracted for long strings
   ! DirSizeCalc doesn't work for an unknown reason
 - Added: "match_beginning" to match only when the substrings match either the beginning of the filename or a part of it which follows a space immediately (just try it)
 - Changed: A new entry with standard value is created in ini file if it doesn't exist or has an invalid value. (through ini files from previous installations)
 - Rewrote and cleaned up big parts of code. Look out for inconsistencies and bugs.
 - Fixed: Small mismatches (case sensitive and pinyin).
 - Due to a small bugfix TC 7.5 public beta 6 should be used.

Version 1.3
 - Changed: Renamed "separator_char" to "and_separator_char" in ini.
 - Added: "or_separator_char" to search either one substring or the other one
 - Added: ability to create and use presets
 - Added: ini option "filter_files_and_folders" to only filter files or only filter folders (doesn’t work in zip files)
 - Added: Autodetect system language on first run to set PinYin ini option to "use_pinyin=1" for Chinese
 - Did not fix PinYin support again :-D

Version 1.22
 - Fixed PinYin support again ;-)

Version 1.21

Version 1.2
 - Added (untested) support for PinYin - thanks to Christian Ghisler and Shanny (Because of slightly performance reasons it has to be activated in the ini: "use_pinyin=1"
