  • + Catalog | Context Menu | Insert As New Category Here: added command "Clipboard Contents" by which you can add any files or folders on the clipboard to the Catalog as a new Category.
  • + Catalog | Context Menu | Insert As New Item(s) Here: added command "Clipboard Contents" by which you can add any files or folders on the clipboard to the current Catalog Category.
  • * Catalog | Context Menu: "Current Address Bar Contents" is now "Current Address Bar Text". No, I'm not pedantic.
  • % Smoother painting on location changes, view changes, and tab switches. There was some superfluous action going on. I stripped it down to the essential.
  • + CKS | Miscellaneous | 64-bit: Added command "Toggle Wow64 File System Redirection" which allows you to disable/re-enable Wow64 File Redirection on 64-bit Windows. The current state of the setting is reflected in the main window titlebar: if Redirection is disabled you'll see a "- [64]" appended to the window title. Note that, of course, the command is only effective on 64-bit platforms. Note further that this setting is NOT saved between sessions, since XY depends on the redirection to load correctly.
    Background: On a 64-bit platform, a 32bit app can't access the 64bit system directory Windows\System32 (sic!). Instead Windows redirects all file system calls to Windows\SysWow64. Consequently, XYplorer shows in fact the contents of Windows\SysWow64 when you browse to Windows\System32. If you want to see the "real" Windows\System32, you have to disable Wow64 Redirection.
