• + Ever since, the Tree shows basically the same path as the Window Title, the Address Bar and the List: If you change the current path by any of the numerous available ways, the Tree is automatically adjusted to the new location. Even, if you don't really need that service...
  Experimentally, you now can turn off that automatic syncing of the Tree via the new scripting command "AutoSyncTree" (whose acronym AST, by the way, is the German word for branch -- quite to the point!).
  
  Syntax: autosynctree [mode (|0|1)]
  Examples:
    ::autosynctree = toggle the mode
    ::autosynctree 0|1 = unset|set
  
  With AutoSyncTree off, "Refresh Tree" (F4) will re-sync the Tree without changing the mode. Also turning AutoSyncTree on again, will instantly re-sync the Tree.
  The setting is remembered between sessions. When you startup with AutoSyncTree off, the tree will be initialized to a default state with only the top nodes shown.
  
  Here are some possible reasons for turning AutoSyncTree off once in a while:
  (1) It offers a uniform maximum browsing speed that's totally
      independent of the nesting depth of the target locations. For
      example, if you quickly need to check size and version of a
      particular system file, it is totally pointless to expand the
      tree down to system32, because all you need is a quick glance
      at that file in the file list. Or, if you have a script that
      needs to visit some location -- why should the tree get busy
      here?
  (2) It keeps the Tree in a stable state and position while
      browsing. For example, this can be valuable when collecting
      stuff from various locations via drag+drop into a couple of
      target folders -- no need to scroll the tree anymore:
      the Tree just sits there and waits.
  (3) It makes consequent use of XYplorer's many ways of going to a
      new place: Address Bar, Tabs, Catalog, Favorites, History,
      Hotlist, Breadcrumb, GoTo, UDCs, Scripts, etc. ... they all
      work flawlessly without the Tree, and if you just need to go
      somewhere to work with certain items, you may well be
      completely uninterested in their position in the file
      system - no need for a Tree to show you.
  While the Tree is an ingenious interface element one must admit that it almost always shows much more information that you need to have at any given time. So, for the sake of informational economy, you now get a "stand-by" button with it.

  This function as well as the Drop-Text-To-File feature now both support UNICODE. So drag-drop your Olympic Games Schedule in Chinese in a blink (in case you bother).
