• +++ Find Files: The Name field now supports comparison operators! This means you can e.g. list all files from A to M.
      <  Less than
      >  Greater than
      <= Less than or equal to
      >= Greater than or equal to
  The operators must be surrounded by spaces and are prefixed to the patterns.
  When strings are compared it's about alphabetical order:
  - Find all files before "m":
    Name: < m
  - Find all files from "d.txt" and before "m.txt"
    Name: : >= d.txt AND < m.txt
    Watch the double space after AND: " AND " must be surrounded by
    spaces as well! The leading ":" is the inline Boolean marker.
  When numbers are compared it's about numerical values.
  - Find all items whose full name is longer than 100 characters:
    Name: len: > 100
      (see next paragraph)
  
  Notes
  ~~~~~
  - Patterns with comparison operators should not contain wildcards;
    they make no sense here anyway and will just be treated as
    characters "*" and "?" in the comparison.
  - The settings "Whole words" and "Fuzzy" are ignored with patterns
    using comparison operators.
    But, of course, the settings are applied with non-comparison-
    patterns. E.g., with "Whole words" enabled, the following term
    will match "a d.txt" but not "ad.txt", and not "d a.txt"
    (because it's > c.txt):
      Name: :a AND < c.txt
    In words: Find all items, that contain "a" as a whole word, and
    are alphabetically sorted before "c.txt".
    - It does not make sense to combine comparison operators with
    RegExp patterns; the RegExp will not be analyzed but simply be
    used as a string in the comparison.
• + Find Files: Now you can search by the length of an item name. Simply prefix "len:" to the search term in the name field.
  - Find all items whose full name is longer than 260 characters:
    Name: len: > 260

• +++ Find Files: Now you can directly search for Tags and Comments!
  Simply prefix "tag:" or "comment:" (case does not matter) to the search term in the name field, and the whole term is matched against the tag respectively comment of each file instead of against the name. All other things work as usual, including Boolean and RegExp search.
  Examples:
    - tag:"red"             //find all items with tag "red"
    - tag:!"red"            //find all items with no tag "red"
    - tag::"red" or "green" //with tag "red" or "green"
      the second ":" after "tag:" is the inline Boolean search marker
    - tag:"red";"green"     //same using "Loose Boolean Match" syntax
    - tag:r                 //find all items with "r" in the tag
    - comment:2009;2008     //with 2008 or 2009 in the comment field
      employing the "Loose Boolean Match" syntax with ";" separator
  Note that also Quick Name Search supports the new syntax, for example:
    E:\Test\?tag:"blue";"red"
• +++ Find Files: Now you can directly search for the extended properties of file items, as also known from the File Info Tips.
  Their names and indices vary strongly between different Windows versions. A list is available in Configuration | File Info Tips.
  The syntax is like above with "tag:" or "comment:", only with yet another field for the actual property. To identify properties by their index prefix "#" to the number.
  Examples:
    - prop:fileversion:8.60   //find all items with version *8.60*
    - prop:fileversion:"8.60" // with version 8.60
    - prop:#8:Donald          // with owner *Donald*
    - prop:#26:"1024 x 768"   // with dimensions "1024 x 768"
  NOTE: While this new feature adds enormous power to XY's file search, it is not extremely fast because retrieving extended properties via the shell is rather slow.
• + Support for horizontal mouse wheel.

• + SC backupto enhanced:
    Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision], _
            [preserve_dates], [create_log]
      preserve_dates:
        (only applied if the file itself is copied)
        Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
        0 = Whether/which dates are copied depends on OS.
        1 = All three dates are copied.
      create_log:
        Empty = Use global setting from Configuration.
        0 = Don't.
        1 = Do.
    Example:
      // backup selected items; on collision suffix date now;
      // preserve dates; create log
      backupto "E:\Test", , 5, 1, 1;
• * Configuration | Backup & Report: Changed order of items.
• ! Configuration | Backup & Report | Preserve item dates: The setting was not yet actually implemented, whoops. Fixed.
• * Tabs: Now wheeling the tabs, either scroll thru tabs (Wheel) or move tabs (Shift+Wheel), will not wrap around the edges anymore.

• + Configuration | Backup & Report | On name collision: Added a further option called "Overwrite never". Copies only files that don't exist in the destination, otherwise does nothing.
• + SC backupto enhanced: Now you can set the behavior on collision right in the call.
    Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision]
      on_collision:
        0 = [Default] Use global setting from Configuration | Backup
            & Report | On name collision
        1 = Overwrite only older files
        2 = Overwrite always
        3 = Overwrite never
        4 = Suffix number
        5 = Suffix date now
        6 = Suffix date modified
    Examples:
      // backup selected items; on collision suffix date now
      backupto "E:\Test", , 5;
      // backup selected items; on collision do what's stated in
      // Configuration Backup & Report On name collision
      backupto "E:\Test";
• ! Wheel: Several wheel driven operations had reversed the expected direction after adding support for high-resolution mouse wheel recently. Fixed.
• ! Enhanced drag'n'drop crashed on any OS <>

• + Configuration | Backup & Report: Backup operations enhanced by adding two configuration options:
  - Preserve item dates: Here you can decide whether the three item
    dates (created, modified, accessed) are preserved with the copy.
    Before, it was hard-coded to YES (preserve).
  - On name collision: Here you can configure what happens on a name
    collision. Before, there was only one hard-coded option:
    overwrite if target is older than source. Now you have the
    choice between five options:
      * Overwrite only older files [factory default]
        (do nothing if the target file is same age or younger)
      * Overwrite always
      * Suffix number
      * Suffix date now
      * Suffix date modified
    This means you now have the popular copy-avec-rename-on-
    collision in XYplorer!
• * Configuration: Renamed page "Reporting" to "Backup & Report".

• * List: Now auto-refresh is suspended while you are drawing a selection box on the list.
• * Menu Go | Go to from Here: Now supports relative paths. They are resolved relative to the current path (whereas in the normal "Go to" and Address Bar they are resolved relative to app path).
• ! Tree: Glitch when drag-moving the current folder into a non-expanded folder. Fixed.
