• ! Tabs: On an unlocked maxi tree selecting a tab pointing to an unavailable removable drive did pop an error message ("Couldn't find path..."), but did not block the list so the previous list contents remained visible and usable under the misleading impression that they were the contents of the unavailable
  removable drive. Fixed.
• * Startup: Before, when the selected tab pointed to an unavailable location, a new tab pointing to Desktop was opened. The unavailable tab was kept as a background tab for later use. Now, the unavailable tab is kept the selected tab but with the list blocked.
• ! Dual Pane: Under certain conditions a Move or Delete could confuse the app about the active pane's current item. Fixed (2 months old bug).

• + Toolbar: Added button "Find by Tag". Gives you one-click access to global tag-wise searches. For example, to search all local drives for items tagged "Blue" simply click "Blue" from the button's arrow menu. Should take a split second...
• + CKS | Miscellaneous | General Functions: Added command "Show/Hide Main Menu". Default KS: Alt+Up.
  In other words: You now can hide the main menu. Note that the app will always startup with visible menu (saves me from emails by users with bad memory).
• * List | Tag column: Now you always get tooltips when the tags are shown as symbols AND "Show tips for clipped tree and list items" is checked. Before, tooltips were only shown when the tag name would be cropped if it would be shown.
• ! Action Log: Preselection of next Redo not working from the arrow dropdown. Fixed.
  * New manifest: Attempt to fix UAC related issues with some users.

• % Fast Tag Search: Further speed improvements!
• + Quick Name Search: Now supports MyComputer as location:
    MyComputer?tag:"Blue" /r
  Note that MyComputer as search location is equivalent to all
  *local* drives by design. Floppy, CD, and other removable drives
  are not included.
• + Added alias "*" for "MyComputer" as location.
  To browse MyComputer you can use this in the Address Bar and other
  location ports:
    *
  To search all local drives for items with tag Blue you can use
  this in the Address Bar and other location ports:
    *?tag:"Blue" /r

• %%% Fast Tag Search: New algorithm gets tag and comment search up to warp speed, especially searches over large areas! Now you can actually search whole drives or even MyComputer for "tag:blue" and get results almost immediately. A definite k-i-l-l-e-r feature!
  A difference to previous versions: Now when you search for tag:* or cmt:* you will get only items that are featured in tag.dat (and are located in the specified search location), i.e. that have a tag or a comment or both.
  Note that the results are, of course, subject to XY's Show filters (Show SYSTEM/HIDDEN files and folders) and to Visual Filters.
  Tip: Fast Tag Search also supports the Quick Name Search syntax.
  So, for example, to find all items on drive E: with a comment containing the letter "q" you simply run this through the Address Bar:
    E:\?cmt:q /r
• + Thumbnails: Now the minimum column width for thumbnails is configurable. Before it was hardcoded to 120 pixels. To change it use menu View Columns Grow/Shrink Name Column (default KS Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Add/Subtract) when in thumbnails view, which will change the width by 4-pixel steps.
  Notes:
  - This is a global values for all thumbnails views of all
    lists in all panes.
  - The real column width will be larger than the minimum column
    width if the thumbnails would be cropped otherwise. Actually the
    column cannot get smaller than the current thumbnail width + 12
    pixels because of the hardcoded margins around the preview.
• + Added Portable Tabs. With Portable Tabs enabled the locations of tabs are stored relative to app path (in the pane.ini files) IF app path is on a removable drive.
  Portable Tabs are useful only when you run XYplorer from a USB drive; it renders these tabs pointing to locations on app drive independent from the drive letter assigned by the host system. Currently available only as a tweak, let's see how it works out:
    [Settings]
    PortableTabs=1
• * Action Log: Now, when opened from Redo button's context menu, the item to be *re*done next is preselected in order to immediately get a preview of the action to be redone next. Before, the item to be *un*done next was preselected.
• * Sticky Selection: Now you can drag selected items as expected. While mousedown on a selected item with Sticky Selection enabled will unselect this item at first, the item gets selected again when you initialize the drag.
• ! Toggling a Favorite Folder did not work as expected on a Locked Tree where the current List path was not part of the Tree. Fixed.

• * Upgrading from 8.80 to this version
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Before (v8.80.0060 - 2010-01-27 22:50):
  - If you use the installer to upgrade to this version and
    you had no startup.ini in the app path then the installer will
    create a startup.ini and thereby change your app data path.
    In this case a silent automatic operation will copy (not move --
    for safety and to avoid any lack-of-rights-induced problems)
    your data files to the new app data path. If all works well you
    will not even note it.
  Now:
  - I decided that silently moving files is too unpolite to the
    upgrading user. Instead on first run after upgrade, if a
    startup.ini points to a non-existing folder and an XYplorer.ini
    exists in app path, the startup.ini is reset to point to
    nothing, and the app data path is reset to app path. So no files
    are moved and the user's installation is identical to the one
    before the upgrade.
  
• ! Tree: On a blocked rename (e.g. because something is locked by
  another process) XYplorer might show doubled error messages and
  doesn't stop trying when clicking "OK". Fixed.
