v1.4.0
XeFM 1.4.0
- Six more archive formats open in place, and 7z can now be created. RAR,
ISO, CAB, cpio, RPM and Zstandard-compressed tar join zip and tar: cursor on
the file, Enter, and you are browsing it. Copying a member out streams it
instead of reading the whole archive into memory, so a single file comes out
of a large archive without the wait. Windows builds now carry libarchive
themselves, so the formats are there out of the box rather than only where a
system library happened to be installed. - A surface's search and sort options open on one key. They used to take a
key each; now one key opens the options for what you are looking at, every
option is a switch you can click as well as type, and the band across the
bottom of every modal says what the keys in front of you do — including what
Enter actually does, which in the search dialogs is feed the results to the
pane rather than open a file. - Extract acts on what you selected. With files marked, extraction used to
follow the cursor instead of the marks; it now extracts the selection, and
falls back to the cursor only when nothing is marked.
Also: --ui-watchdog logs the stack the UI thread was stuck in whenever the app
stops repainting for longer than a moment — a developer diagnostic, off unless
asked for, aimed at the freezes that were previously only reportable as "it
froze". Help lists the archive formats this build can actually read, and says
correctly what stops an encrypted 7z from opening. The suite runs on Linux in
Docker against both libcs, with targets to drive the TUI there by hand. Key
bindings documentation now names the keys that exist.
