v6.40.0000 - 2007-10-10 11:11

= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE.
Main changes since last release:

• +++ New GUI. Ux theme visual styles are now (optionally) applied to all interface elements.
• +++ Major re-design of the configuration dialog.
• +++ Added a new license type, the "Standard License", which costs only half of the big "Lifetime License".
• +++ Now you can drag-drop item onto *.BAT and *.CMD files. Of course, this works also with Catalog items as drop targets.
• +++ Finally complete support for dropping from archives of all types.
• +++ Now you have "Tips of the day" at your finger tips (Shift+F1). And more: you can easily add and manage your own tips (in your own language if you want)!
• +++ Support for NTFS junctions, including configurable color coding to make them visually stand out.
• +++ The Backup file operation now preserves all three dates (modified, created, accessed) in copied files and folders.
• +++ The New Items interface now supports date variables, just another revolutionary time-saver.
• +++ Enhanced compatibility with Kontrast#1 (etc.) color schemes for visually impaired.
• +++ File Info Tips now display "Version Information" for all files that have one.
• +++ Media Preview: added support for the file extension DIVX (DivX Movie).

v6.30.0057 - 2007-10-09 13:06

• ! Lost the ability to drop attachments from Outlook. Fixed.

v6.30.0056 - 2007-10-08 13:17

• +++ Added new license "Standard License". Contrary to the "Lifetime License" this new license is limited to "one full major version cycle". For example: When you purchase a "Standard License" for version 6.40 it will be valid for all versions below version 7.40.
  It will not be valid anymore for version 7.40 and higher. Based on the stats of the last years, this means you get roughly one year of updates, which includes about 5-10 official releases and 200 BETA releases. This license will be available from 2007-10-10 onwards.
• + Extended improved support for dropping from archives to Tree and Catalog as drop targets.
• + Menu Tools | Customize Toolbar: added Ctrl+Shift+F9 as default KS.
• * Now, the last used INI-file (LastIni key in XYplorer.ini) is only used on startup when it exists, else the default INI-file (XYplorer.ini) is used.
• ! List: when resizing an X-scrolled list in view "List" from state maximized to normal, parts of the display were not updated depending on the X-scroll position. Fixed.
• ! A user somehow managed to lose the ESC key as shortcut for "Stop". No idea how he did it (unless he manually fooled around with ks.dat...), but from now on the app ensures on startup that the ESC key is where it should be.
• ! Hotlist could get confused by non-existing folders in history. Fixed.

v6.30.0055 - 2007-10-06 11:31

• + Improved support for dropping from archives. Now it works with IZArc, and hopefully a bunch of similar apps. Again.
• + Menu Go: added command "Go to Previous Item in List". Jumps to the previously focused and selected item in the current file list.
  Default KS: Shift+Alt+F7.
  Note: if no previous item exists, then the current item is re-selected, and if necessary moved in into view.
• ! Crash when dropping files between tabs in Windows Classic Design. Sounds weird, but of course this was just a side-effect of the recent GUI re-designs. Stupid copy-paste error while coding...
  anyway: Fixed.

v6.30.0054 - 2007-10-05 18:48

• + Improved support for dropping from archives. Now it works with IZArc, and hopefully a bunch of similar apps.

v6.30.0053 - 2007-10-05 13:01

• + Improved support for dropping from archives.
• ! Corrupt TGA files could generate a crash. Fixed.

v6.30.0052 - 2007-10-04 18:49

• ! Tabs hover effect needed a little refinement. Given.
• + Added some backward compatibility code for recent changes of default settings. Now old users won't suffer a feature shock.

v6.30.0051 - 2007-10-04 14:51

• + Configuration | Previewed Formats: added option "Automatically show non-previewed file types in ASCII/Hex mode (Raw View)". The checked state has been the hard-coded default behavior since years. Now you can choose.
• % Raw View: the raw view text area heavily flickered on resizing the panel. I wanted to fix this since about 7 years and finally found the time to do it.
• * Preview tab: status message now with icon.
• * Preview tab: empty files are now immediately rejected as empty.
• * The Tabs now have the ux theme hover effect. The same effect is now also applied to drag-hovering the tabs. Before (and still when not using Windows Themes) this was marked by coloring the hovered caption blue.

v6.30.0044 - 2007-10-03 14:58

• + Now you can tweak whether servers (computers) are checked for existence before browsing to a network location. The default is YES, check them. But in some rare configurations the checks are not reliable (servers that do exist are not seen), so if YOU know the servers do exist, you don't need the check and can turn it off.
  In the INI you'll find a new key:
    [Settings]
    iAssumeServersExist=0
  Set it to 1 to skip the checking.
• + Configuration Advanced: added option "Find Files commands in List context menu". Check to have the Find Files section from menu Edit in the List's context menu.
• ! Drag'n'drop moving a folder between tree locations on different drives could lead to a crash under certain conditions. Fixed.
• ! Thumbnails: black thumbnails could emerge after inserting new images into a cached thumbnails listing. Fixed #2.

v6.30.0039 - 2007-10-02 12:59

• + Configuration Advanced: added option "Navigation commands in List context menu". Check to have the items Up, Back, and Forward in the List's context menu.
• * Slightly redesigned the new ux style tabs. Looking cleaner now.
• ! Thumbnails: black thumbnails could emerge after inserting new images into a cached thumbnails listing. Fixed.
• ! Menu View | Caches | Refresh Thumbs Cache: did not always do what it says it would do. Fixed.
• ! List: fixed various display glitches related to the new ux theme support.
