vifm v0.8.1 beta testing has started |
|
5 |
|
------------------------------------ |
|
6 |
|
|
|
7 |
|
New minor version delivers primarily various small improvements of different |
|
8 |
|
kinds. There is also improvement of navigation via named bookmarks (or tags), |
|
9 |
|
which can ease keeping track of what is where, and an ability to apply |
|
10 |
|
settings to specific directories or sub-trees (via combination of autocommands |
|
11 |
|
and local options). |
|
12 |
|
|
|
13 |
|
The beta stage will last about two weeks. In case any serious bugs are found |
|
14 |
|
during this period, another beta version might be released. |
|
15 |
|
|
|
16 |
|
Main changes: |
|
17 |
|
- added local options, which work until directory change; |
|
18 |
|
- added named bookmarks (paths are associated with tags); |
|
19 |
|
- added autocommands (with DirEnter event); |
|
20 |
|
- added ability to sort by regexp-extracted part of file name; |
|
21 |
|
- added builtin directory preview (similar to `tree`); |
|
22 |
|
- added a way to communicate menu contents to Vim quickfix; |
|
23 |
|
- IPC got new (safe) implementation with listing/targeting of active instances, |
|
24 |
|
it's enabled by default again; |
|
25 |
|
- updating local view settings from vifmrc now affects both panes (:windo is |
|
26 |
|
not necessary); |
|
27 |
|
- more predictive cursor updates on directory reload; |
|
28 |
|
- improvements related to expression and command parsing. |
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
More detailed list of changes. |
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
|
Command-line mode: |
|
33 |
|
- added :setl[ocal] and :setg[lobal] commands to manage values of local options |
|
34 |
|
that are specific to current directory and are reset on directory change, |
|
35 |
|
similar to local options of Vim; |
|
36 |
|
- added :pu[t] command that inserts files into current directory (thanks to |
|
37 |
|
mvucBmM0); |
|
38 |
|
- added :winc[md] command-line command (thanks to fogine); |
|
39 |
|
- added exclamation mark to :shell to suppress spawning new teminal multiplexer |
|
40 |
|
pane (patch by Cosmin Popescu, a.k.a. cosminadrianpopescu). |
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
|
:set command and options: |
|
43 |
|
- added :set foo+=bar syntax for string options (append value); |
|
44 |
|
- added 'deleteprg' option, which specifies program to run on files that are |
|
45 |
|
permanently removed; |
|
46 |
|
- added 'dirsize' option to control how size of directories is displayed in |
|
47 |
|
file views. This enables one to see number of files in a directory rather |
|
48 |
|
than its size (thanks to Martin Fischer); |
|
49 |
|
- added optional %u and %U macros to 'findprg', 'grepprg', and 'locateprg' that |
|
50 |
|
allow immediate redirection of command output into custom view without |
|
51 |
|
opening a menu (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
52 |
|
- added 'iooptions' option to configure file system operations. Contains only |
|
53 |
|
"fastfilecloning" for btrfs so far (thanks to aleksejrs); |
|
54 |
|
- added special treatment for "*" as value of 'slowfs', which might be useful |
|
55 |
|
in case of very slow handling of requests to mounts enumeration (patch by |
|
56 |
|
Cosmin Popescu, a.k.a. cosminadrianpopescu); |
|
57 |
|
- added handling of "%u" in trash specification on *nix, which is replaced with |
|
58 |
|
real user ID (thanks to Regis); |
|
59 |
|
- allow 'shell' to specify a shell argument on *nix (thanks to loongw); |
|
60 |
|
- added 'sortgroups' option and "groups" sorting key, which allow sorting by |
|
61 |
|
parts of file names (thanks to aleksejrs); |
|
62 |
|
- make "p" in 'tuioptions' affect padding in quick view and view mode; |
|
63 |
|
- changed 'fusehome' default from temporary directory to data directory (that |
|
64 |
|
is $XDG_DATA_HOME/.local/share/fuse/ or $VIFM/fuse/ depending on which parent |
|
65 |
|
directory exists, the second one exists by definition, but first might not) |
|
66 |
|
(thanks to aleksejrs and to Hendrik Jaeger, a.k.a. henk); |
|
67 |
|
- changed default value of 'trashdir' on *nix again, this time to |
|
68 |
|
"%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$VIFM/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash". This way it's safer for |
|
69 |
|
privacy, although using %r is not very safe in general (thanks to Regis). |
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
Configuration: |
|
72 |
|
- make :set, :filter and :normal zo (and alike) in vifmrc affect all views, |
|
73 |
|
thus obsoleting use of :winrun or :windo for this purpose (they still work, |
|
74 |
|
the new way is a simpler and more obvious one). This is related to commands |
|
75 |
|
executed during vifmrc processing (not those in the right-hand side of |
|
76 |
|
mappings, commands, etc.); |
|
77 |
|
- automatically create ~/.vifm/scripts containing small README file if the |
|
78 |
|
directory doesn't exist on startup (thanks to fogine). |
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
|
Core: |
|
81 |
|
- added autocommands (DirEnter event and :au[tocmd] command) (thanks to |
|
82 |
|
filterfalse). |
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
|
File operations: |
|
85 |
|
- added retry/ignore/abort prompt for file/directory removal when 'syscalls' |
|
86 |
|
is on (thanks to Robert Sarkozi); |
|
87 |
|
- make use of file cloning feature of btrfs when possible and enabled in |
|
88 |
|
'iooptions' (thanks to aleksejrs); |
|
89 |
|
- preserve file timestamps on copying files with 'syscalls' on (thanks to |
|
90 |
|
mvucBmM0); |
|
91 |
|
- employ inotify on GNU/Linux for more precise watching directories for |
|
92 |
|
changes. |
|
93 |
|
|
|
94 |
|
Navigation: |
|
95 |
|
- added named bookmarks (paths are associated with tags). This adds :bmark, |
|
96 |
|
:bmarks, :bmgo and :delbmarks command-line commands. Also there is new |
|
97 |
|
"bmarks" value for 'vifminfo' (thanks to Schmalzhaf Stefan). |
|
98 |
|
|
|
99 |
|
Normal and visual modes: |
|
100 |
|
- accept [count] for "h" and "gh"; |
|
101 |
|
- added zr normal mode key to reset local filter (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
102 |
|
- ctrl-W | and Ctrl-W _ now can set window size to given count (thanks to |
|
103 |
|
filterfalse). |
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
|
Key bindings: |
|
106 |
|
- remapping of builtin keys that are followed by selectors (e.g. |
|
107 |
|
`:nnoremap d y`) (thanks to mvucBmM0). |
|
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
|
Color schemes: |
|
110 |
|
- changed default colorscheme to invert colors of the current line. |
|
111 |
|
|
|
112 |
|
Documentation: |
|
113 |
|
- documented %= for 'statusline' and 'rulerformat'; |
|
114 |
|
- make --select option more prominent in documentation (thanks to Svyatoslav |
|
115 |
|
Mishyn, a.k.a. juef); |
|
116 |
|
- documented difference between paths in menu with and without trailing slash |
|
117 |
|
(thanks to filterfalse). |
|
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
|
Macros: |
|
120 |
|
- added %pc macro that splits preview command in two pices: preview command and |
|
121 |
|
clear command (thanks to Tomek K., a.k.a. TomiCode). |
|
122 |
|
|
|
123 |
|
Menus and dialogs: |
|
124 |
|
- added B key to menus, which acts like b, but creates unsorted (very custom) |
|
125 |
|
view (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
126 |
|
- added "v" key to menu mode that loads current contents into quickfix list of |
|
127 |
|
editor (Vim compatible one is assumed) (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
128 |
|
- added handling of dd in :trashes, :trashes? and :lstrashes, which either |
|
129 |
|
deletes an item in trash or empties trash (thanks to Svyatoslav Mishyn, |
|
130 |
|
a.k.a. juef); |
|
131 |
|
- somewhat more informative error titles on issues during file operations; |
|
132 |
|
- provide conflict resolution options in a dialog rather than on the |
|
133 |
|
command-line, which is hard to read with so many options; |
|
134 |
|
- expand "~" in menus on navigation. |
|
135 |
|
|
|
136 |
|
Packaging: |
|
137 |
|
- removed vifmrc-converter. It's been around for four years and not needed any |
|
138 |
|
more (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
139 |
|
- removed contents of autoconf.sh, autoreconf covers what was there (there is a |
|
140 |
|
notice in that script now about it just in case) (thanks to Hendrik Jaeger, |
|
141 |
|
a.k.a. henk); |
|
142 |
|
- added --with-sanitize=basic|thread|leak option to configure script; |
|
143 |
|
- added missing script that's necessary for %s macro in GNU screen. Was lost |
|
144 |
|
for a long time; |
|
145 |
|
- work around compilation on systems where MAX_ARG_STRLEN is defined, but |
|
146 |
|
unusable (thanks to Marcin Juszkiewicz, a.k.a. hrw, Michel Normand and |
|
147 |
|
Michael Vetter, a.k.a. jubalh); |
|
148 |
|
- put right-hand side of user-defined commands into separate scope of |
|
149 |
|
if-else-endif expressions. This prevents affecting of regular input by |
|
150 |
|
malformed user-defined command. |
|
151 |
|
|
|
152 |
|
Scripting: |
|
153 |
|
- added :elseif command (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
154 |
|
- added &option syntax for :let command; |
|
155 |
|
- added && and || operators to expression parser (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
156 |

|
157 |
|
(thanks to filterfalse); |
|
158 |
|
- added layoutis() builtin function that answers queries about current |
|
159 |
|
interface configuration (thanks to fogine); |
|
160 |
|
- added paneisat() builtin function that answers queries about current pane |
|
161 |
|
position (thanks to fogine); |
|
162 |
|
- added inline comments to allow less verbose commenting in configuration; |
|
163 |
|
- rewrote expression parser to prevent side-effects from occurring until syntax |
|
164 |
|
is checked. |
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
|
TUI (Text User Interface): |
|
167 |
|
- added match numbers to search messages on status bar (patch by Cosmin |
|
168 |
|
Popescu, a.k.a. cosminadrianpopescu); |
|
169 |
|
- added dynamic view column alignment (specified by "*", just like "-" for left |
|
170 |
|
alignment) (patch by Cosmin Popescu, a.k.a. cosminadrianpopescu); |
|
171 |
|
- added "more" mode that is used to handle status bar content that doesn't fit |
|
172 |
|
on the screen (thanks to Bruce Hunsaker, a.k.a. hunsakerbn, and Svyatoslav |
|
173 |
|
Mishyn, a.k.a. juef); |
|
174 |
|
- added builtin directory preview (thanks to Damian Ariel Perticone and |
|
175 |
|
Alexandre Viau); |
|
176 |
|
- added "fileext" sorting key, which sorts files by extensions and directories |
|
177 |
|
by name (patch by Cosmin Popescu, a.k.a. cosminadrianpopescu); |
|
178 |
|
- added "nitems" sorting, which sorts by number of items in a directory (thanks |
|
179 |
|
to filterfalse); |
|
180 |
|
- added "nlinks" sorting key to display number of hard links to a file on *nix |
|
181 |
|
systems (thanks to filterfalse); |
|
182 |
|
- normalize surrounding spaces in menu and dialog titles; |
|
183 |
|
- lower minimum supported terminal width and height from 30x10 to 20x5; |
|
184 |
|
- update cursor position on file disappearing in more predictable way. Use the |
|
185 |
|
closes file to the previously active one that still exists (thanks to |
|
186 |
|
ranousse); |
|
187 |
|

:grep). |
|
189 |
|
|
|
190 |
|

|
(patch by MadMaverick9); |
|
199 |
|
- multiple fixes for custom views (thanks to filterfalse); |

|
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
|
Vim-plugin: |
|
209 |
|
- added set of :*Vim commands to vifm run from Vim plugin, which overrule |
|
210 |
|
initial :*Vifm command behaviour (thanks to Ross Hadden, a.k.a. rosshadden); |
|
211 |
|
- changed plugin to do not depend on location of vifm. g:vifm_home is ignored |

213 |
|
|
|
214 |
|
Only on Windows: |

|
222 |
|

224 |
|
respectively; |
|
225 |
|
- added optional argument for --logging parameter that specifies path to |
|
226 |
|
startup log (thanks to Cosmin Popescu, a.k.a. cosminadrianpopescu); |
|
227 |
|
- invalidate directory size (calculated via ga/gA) if noticed that directory |
|
228 |
|
was changed. This affects all parent directories as well, way easier to see |
|
229 |
|
what needs recalculation after file moving/removal; |
|
230 |
|
- warn about --remote command being disabled at build-time (thanks to |
|
231 |
|
Svyatoslav Mishyn, a.k.a. juef); |
|
232 |
|

|
234 |
|
juef); |
|
235 |
|
- display incomplete file name on rename instead of failing with error on |
|
236 |
|
Unicode conversion issues. |
|
237 |
