• ! Tree: Icon drawing glitch with junctions under Win7. Fixed.
• ! Catalog: Fixed some minor icon drawing glitches that came about when recently adjusting to Win7's new image list organization.
• ! Menu View | Calculate Folder Sizes: Statusbar was not updated anymore. Fixed.
• ! Tree, List: Since v9.10.0025 - 2010-05-19 10:33 the inline rename box lost focus but stayed up on app switch. This had some unwelcome consequences. Fixed. Now any pending rename is executed when the app loses focus.

• + SCs copyto, moveto, backupto enhanced: The "source" argument now can point to the source control by setting it to ":list", ":tree", or ":catalog". This is a neat way to avoid the "focus list (tree, catalog);" line that was necessary in previous versions to ensure that the current list (tree, catalog) selections were taken; and, of course, it also avoids the undesired focus switch.
  So the "source" argument can now be used in three ways:
    [source] The items that will be copied or moved:
    (Empty) = selected items of the focused control (List, Tree,
              Catalog)
    Item(s) = -separated list of items
    Control = selected items of the specified control
              format: ":list", ":tree", or ":catalog"
  Examples:
  //copy all selected list items to "C:\Temp"
    ::copyto "C:\Temp", ":list";
  //copy the selected tree item to "C:\Temp"
    ::copyto "C:\Temp", ":tree";
• * SCs copyto, moveto, backupto: Additionally to the above these commands now *default* to the List as source control unless Tree or Catalog have the input focus. So now you can run this through the Address Bar:
    ::copyto "C:\Temp";
  and you won't meet the nagging message
    "Nothing selected, or what is selected cannot be copied."
  anymore if there are selections in the List.
• + UDC: The above enhancements also apply to the "Source" argument of the Copy To, Move To, Backup To UDCs.
• * List: Now, when retrieving the folder size fails, the size column shows [Access Denied], BUT ONLY when no bytes or counts were returned at all. If only any subfolder was denied access you will not see this in the list but will be shown the sums of bytes and counts that actually could be accessed.
• * Info Panel Tabs: From now the tab style is controlled by the setting of Configuration | Tabs | Visual Style. However the IP tab style is overwritten by the TabIPVisualStyle tweak if it is set to 1 (Classic style).
• ! Dropping images from Firefox 3.*: Some images were dropped with an HTM extension attached. Fixed.

• +++ Aliases. Aliases are user-definable variables where you can freely choose the name of the variable and their value. When you enter such a alias into the Address Bar (or any other location port) it will be resolved to its value before further processing.
  
  Format Of Aliases:
  Aliases are marked by a prefixed @ (at-sign). The alias name may contain any letter apart from "=". It may even be completely empty, so you can have one minimal alias that's simply @! The alias value may contain any letter, including "=". Also quotes are okay in name and value. Note, however, that line breaks do not count as "letters" and are not allowed in name or value.
  
  Usage Of Aliases:
  Aliases can be added, edited, or removed directly through the Address Bar:
    @AliasName=value define AliasName as an alias to value
                     adds a new alias or overwrites any existing
                     alias of the same name
    @AliasName       goto/execute value associated with AliasName
    @AliasName=      undefine AliasName (= remove it)
  For example:
    @home=C:\mystuff\blah\blub\ [ENTER]
    Now typing @home into the Address Bar will carry you to
    C:\mystuff\blah\blub\.
  Another way to edit aliases is through Tools | List Management
  Aliases...
  
  Further Remarks:
  - Aliases are resolved very early, before any other special
    syntaxes are resolved. This means you can have e.g. small
    scripts, DOS commands, Spot and Jump commands, Visual Filters
    etc. defined as value of an alias and they will be treated as
    expected. Of course, they must fit in one line -- line breaks
    are not allowed.
    Example for defining an alias for a script:
      @hi=::msg "Hi!"; [ENTER]
    Now @hi will pop "Hi!".
  - If you enter a non-existing alias it is not resolved and treated
    as relative path (which is probably not existing, but who
    knows...).
  - The Address Bar icon for aliases is a blue heart. It turns red
    when you add/edit an alias.
    Credits and thanks for the icons goto Alessandro Rei,
      http://www.mentalrey.it/
  - Aliases are case-sensitive: @hi is not the same as @Hi.
  - Of course, aliases are retained across sessions.
  - The number of possible aliases is not limited by XYplorer.
  
• + New variable <get alias [name]> returns the value of the alias "name". If the alias does not exist then the name itself is returned unchanged.
  For example, if
    @hi=::msg "Hi!";
  then
     echo <get alias hi>; //returns ::msg "Hi!";
  So, the variable <get alias ...> allows you to use aliases within other strings.
• + Tweak to customize what's displayed for empty folders in the Size column when showing folder sizes.
    FolderEmpty="[Empty]"
  Factory default is "[Empty]".
• * Background Processing: Now, when XYcopy.exe is not found or too old the buttons related to Background Processing are disabled resp. show a warning symbol and let you know what's the problem.
• * Copy/Move to New Subfolder: Now the edit box supports automatic word breaking (dbl-click selection, moving cursor with CTRL). Recognized word boundaries: .:,; _-~(){}[]<>/\^°*?!§$%&=+#"'
• ! Fixed more drawing glitches with non-standard DPI settings.

v9.11.0011 - 2010-05-26 16:06

• * Configuration | Colors & Styles: Downgraded "Flat plus-minus icons in tree" to tweak level.
    Key: FlatPlusMinus
• * Installer: Now you face the prompt "Please close any running XYplorer instance before you continue." if any XY instance is running.
• ! Video Preview: On DPI settings other than 96 the available preview space was not correctly calculated. Fixed.
• ! Fixed some other drawing glitches with non-standard DPI settings.

• ! Might have fixed a focus glitch on selecting IP tabs.
• ! Auto-updating of Icon Overlays should be improved.
• ! Tabs: Drawing glitch with gaps. Fixed #2.

• + Toolbar: Added buttons "Map Network Drive" and "Disconnect Mapped Network Drive". Function identical to the same-named commands in menu Tools | Tools Special.
• * Configuration: Renamed the section "Interface Colors" to "Colors & Styles".
• * Configuration | Colors & Styles: Reorganized the checkboxes at the bottom of the section:
  - Removed all list style settings (they do not belong here):
    * Highlight focused item
    * Highlight selected rows
    * Show grid
  - Downgraded "Beveled border" to tweak level.
  - Changed some captions.
• * Menu Tools | Customize List: Now, by factory default, the list styles are applied globally to all tabs in all panes. Before, they were only applied to the current tab of the active pane. This setting is configurable in Configuration Colors & Styles under "Set list style globally". Note that on upgrading it will
  be set to disabled.
  Notes:
  - If "Set list style globally" is off you still can hold SHIFT
    while changing a style property to force having it applied to
    all tabs on all panes.
    BTW, here's another change: Before, holding SHIFT only affected
    the current pane.
  - If the list style is set by an FVS, it is applied only to the
    current tab, of course.
  - The setting of "Set list style globally" only affects *changes*
    in the list style; it does not mean that the styles of all tabs
    are automatically synchronized.
  - So, if "Set list style globally" is on then only the style
    property you actively set (e.g. you select "Autosize Columns")
    will be applied to the other tabs. It does not mean that all
    style properties of the current tab are applied to all other
    tabs.
  - Consequently, tabs can still differ in style and each tab will
    remember its individual style across tab changes and sessions
    even if "Set list style globally" in on.
  - Tip: The toolbar button "Sticky Selection" has all list styles
    in its context menu -- a quicker way than Menu Tools | Customize
    List.
• * Configuration | General: Moved these settings to Advanced (needed
  the space):
    - Dbl-click on empty space goes up
    - Click on status bar toggles info panel
    - Disallow left-dragging from tree and list
    - History without duplicates
    - History per tab
• - Configuration | General: Removed "Show folders in list". This
  setting is available in the main menu anyway (View Show Items).
• + Configuration | General: Added "Show item count". If "Show folder sizes in file list" is on then enable "Show item count" to also show the number of items in each folder in the list's Size column. Note that the ShowFolderCounts tweak only takes effect when this feature is disabled. The ShowFolderCounts tweak is still working but deprecated.
• % List: Less flicker when changing folders with Show Folder Sizes enabled.
• ! About Box: Drawing glitch with Academic licenses. Fixed.
• ! Tabs: Drawing glitch with gaps. Fixed.
• ! List: Selection glitch when Invert Selections resulted in a single selected file. Fixed.

v9.11.0005 - 2010-05-24 21:57

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

• * List: Now, when retrieving the folder size fails, the size column shows [Access Denied] when the failure was caused by Error #5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED), or otherwise [Error #] where # is the error code. (However, I actually never got an error here other than ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED). Before, it showed a misleading [Empty].
  Note that [Access Denied] or [Error #] are also shown when any of the subfolders in the branch throws an error that prevents to determine its correct size.
• % Background Jobs Dialog: Superfluous painting activity lead to unnecessary CPU action. Fixed.
• * Tabs: Tabs had a 1-pixel extra gap between them. Removed the gap.
  

v9.11.0004 - 2010-05-22 13:35

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• + List: Tweak to show folder counts (count of contained folders and files) in the Size column:
    ShowFolderCounts=(value)
  Various formats can be selected through the value:
    0:                          = nothing
    1: [d:<folders>, f:<files>]
    2: [<items> item(s)]        = sum of folders + files
    3: [<files> file(s)]        = files only
  If enabled the size data are prefixed by the count data depending on the value of ShowFolderCounts. Note that all numbers refer to the contents of the whole branch, not just the next child level.
  Example for the Size column on ShowFolderCounts=1:
      [d:9, f:40] 5.713 KB
    [d:35, f:289] 3.811 KB
          [d:0, f:2] 60 KB
        [d:5, f:29] 285 KB
  The setting only takes effect when folder sizes are shown in the list. You cannot sort by these data. The tweak will be elevated to UI level if successful.
• + Scripting got a new function.
    Name:   tweak
    Action: Tweaks an internal setting (a setting without config UI),
            and returns the old value.
    Syntax: tweak(key, [value])
      key:    name of the setting (identical to its INI key)
      value:  desired value of the setting;
              if missing then only the current value is returned
      return: the value before the tweak, resp. the current value
    Examples:
      //set ShowFolderCounts to 1:
      ::tweak("ShowFolderCounts", 1);
      //get ShowFolderCounts value:
      ::echo tweak("ShowFolderCounts");
      //get ShowFolderCounts value, and set it to 2:
      ::echo tweak("ShowFolderCounts", 2);
    Notes:
    - The list will be auto-updated to reflect the new setting.
    - The statusbar will display the key with its new value.
    - No restart is necessary (as was with the old way to tweak).
    - Currently ONLY "ShowFolderCounts" (see above) is supported. Of
      course, with time, many more tweaks will be added; maybe even a
      GUI so that this functionality can be accessed without
      resorting to scripting.
• * List: When showing folder sizes, empty folders now display the label "[Empty]" in the Size column. Before they displayed "-" which lead to confusion among various users.
• * Menu View | Current Tab | Set Home / Go Home: Now Visual Filter is part of the Home definition. So Going Home can mean that the Home Visual Filter is restored or that the current Visual Filter is removed. This is independent of the setting of Persist Visual Filters Across Folders.

v9.11.0002 - 2010-05-21 22:31

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• * Tree, Lists: Changed algorithm and some factory defaults for the coloring of selected items when the control is not focused.
• ! POM: The new "Go to Item" and "Copy Item" had been added to the normal POM. Rubbish. Fixed.
• ! Quick File View, Text Preview, Raw View: Error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." (ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION) when trying to view files that are already opened by certain other applications. Fixed.

• + Menu File | Open...: The Open With dropdown menu (Pro Edition only) now features the commands "Go to Item" and "Copy Item". Note that both commands (like all other commands in the menu) work on the current contents of the edit field. So you can type or paste any existing item name, and go to it or copy it (the item, not just the name) to the clipboard. Nice.
• * User Buttons: Increased their number from 16 to 32.
• * List: Inline-rename now checks whether the item to be renamed is in use. If yes, you get the message "The item cannot be renamed because it is currently opened by another application." Note that the check works only for files, not for folders.
  

v9.11.0000 - 2010-05-19 12:00

= MAINTENANCE RELEASE.

• +++ Bug fixes.
  

v9.10.0025 - 2010-05-19 10:33

• ! Error 10 fixed! Here's the story of Error 10:
  - The bad coding (and finally the fix) was done in the procedure
    formatting the captions for the Undo/Redo buttons' tooltip resp.
    items in the buttons' dropdown menu.
    It was done in v9.00.0205.
  - The error was raised in the procedure where the current action
    was added to the Undo/Redo queue.
  Conditions/Steps to reproduce the error (in versions before
  v9.10.0023):
  - Undo/Redo enabled.
  - The Undo/Redo queue is not yet full (i.e. < 100 items).
  - An action that's stored in the Undo/Redo queue involves rather
    long path/file names.
  - Within the current session you hover the Undo/Redo toolbar
    buttons, or use their dropdown, or show the Action Log. At least
    one caption in the dropdown should be shortened (using
    ellipses).
  - The next action added to the Undo/Redo queue raises error 10.
• ! Network on MiniTree: Since a couple of versions the network node would always show all servers instead of only the ones actually used. Fixed.
• ! List: (Win7/64) Inline-rename good get caught in eternal loop when file to be renamed was in use. Fixed.
• ! Preview: A file type excluded from text preview but included in Web/Office preview was not passed through as expected. Fixed.
• ! Preview: "Preview Now" button did not work anymore for some versions. Fixed.
• * Menu File | Preview: Now when a file in list is focused and selected but not the "current file" (not displayed in statusbar), the command will make it the "current file" and preview it. FYI, the state focused/selected/non-current can be caused e.g. by drag-selecting a focused file, or passively when copied files are selected-on-paste.

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

• * List: Selected items were not recognizable enough when the list was not focused. Changed the coloring a bit and added an underline.
  Tip: You now can configure this color using a tweak:
    clrListSelNoFocusBack=...
  Note, however, that the expected format is a 24-bit decimal color value, not RRGGBB.
• ! Configuration General Show hidden files and folders: Changing this setting did reset the tree although this was not necessary. Fixed.
• ! BTW, more attempts to fix error 10 (just as in every version since more than a week).

v9.10.0016 - 2010-05-16 18:10

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

• * Network: Experimentally you now can toggle (show/hide) the Network special folder on the fly (without tree reset). And, experimentally as well, if the Network folder is hidden in the tree, you still can browse network locations in the list.
• * Tree, List: Now junctions are shown with link overlays. This is standard in Win7 Explorer and I think it's a good idea. Makes them stand out even if the color filter is not enabled.
• ! Win7: Fixed an issue with recursive junctions, e.g. C:\ProgramData\ApplicationData\.
• ! Win7: Fixed an issue with empty junctions, e.g. C:\Users\AllUsers\.
• ! Tree: If special folder User was hidden, the special folder Documents and its child nodes didn't work properly. Fixed.

v9.10.0015 - 2010-05-15 15:26

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

• * Action Log: Revised the layout. Now "No date" means "No date" in Action Log and Toolbar dropdowns.
• * Tree: Toggling special folders Desktop, Documents, and User now works on the fly without reset of the whole tree. Remember: Only affects Maxi Tree.
• * Configuration | General: Renamed
  - "Show Network places" to "Show Network folder"
  - "Show Recycle Bin" to "Show Recycle Bin folder"
• ! Network: Shares on certain servers could be browsed in Mini Tree but not in Maxi Tree. Fixed. Now they work on both trees.
• ! Attempt to fix a bug with Icon Overlays.
  

v9.10.0014 - 2010-05-14 16:05

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• +++ Tree: Added new special folder (the actual caption depends on the current user name). Points to the current user's profile folder (CSIDL_PROFILE).
• +++ Configuration General: Added toggles to make the three top special folder nodes in Tree optional:
    Show Desktop folder
    Show Documents folder
    Show User folder
  Defaults differ with OS:
  - On a fresh install you get this as default:
                          Vista/Win7   XP and earlier
    Show Desktop folder   -            +
    Show Documents folder -            +
    Show User folder      +            -
  - On upgrading you get this as default:
                          Vista/Win7   XP and earlier
    Show Desktop folder   +            +
    Show Documents folder +            +
    Show User folder      +            -
  
  Notes:
  - If such a node is hidden then special paths like "Desktop" will
    not work anymore in the special way but will be auto-resolved
    to their real file system path.
  - A Maxi Tree will be completely rebuilt after changes in these
    settings. So these are is rather set-and-forget kind of
    settings, nothing you switch on and off all the time.
  - The Mini Tree does not really care about these settings but
    shows and hides what you tell him to show and hide.
• + Menu View | Show Items: Added "Show Junctions" (also available in Configuration | General). If unchecked then junctions are not shown. The factory default is unchecked. This command has mainly been added to get rid of the plethora of junctions in Win7.
• * After studying the bizarre Win7 file system a bit more I had to change the way I handled the "Access Denied" issue on junctions like "My Documents\My Music\", which only exist to ensure compatibility to the old XP way which, for better or worse, has been turned upside down in Win7.
  The old way let to a number of problems and inconsistencies (files were shown but could not be accessed; icons in the address bar were missing; and others).
  The new way still avoids the "Access Denied" error, but when you want to go down to subfolders of the junction target, you will actually be transported to the junction target in the tree. In other words, Junctions like "My Documents\My Music\" will have no subfolders in tree even if their targets have subfolders. They are rather treated like links.
  The simple fact is that these old XP folders are not part of Win7 anymore. XYplorer will not fight very hard against Win7 to make them usable as if they still existed.
  Further Notes:
  - The above junction handling only concerns junctions on drive C:\
    and with the SYSTEM attribute set, on Vista or later.
  - Win7 Explorer does not show these junctions in his tree
    at all, even if you set all possible show-all settings.
• + Scripting commands not documented in the help file:

    ::sysicons 1; //show Icon Overlays

• * Win7: Improved handling of special folders in Tree. But it still needs a major overhaul in Mini Tree mode. The bizarre Win7 file system is quite a challenge to straightforward file management.
• * Any error messages now in new style with selectable/copyable text.

• * Raw View: Now, in ASCII view, any line numbers are colored as in the file list (as configured in Configuration Interface Colors). FYI, in Hex View this is not possible for internal reasons.
• * Better placement of inline rename boxes when line height is increased.
• * Win7: Default font size for main controls from 8.25 to 9.

• + Tabs: The menu popped by right-clicking the tab white space now contains the commands "Open New Tab" and "Close Tab".
• * List | Drag selection with hot scrolling (= scrolling a list by moving a pushed mouse out of the list area): Now when you move the offshore mouse vertically back towards the list no more scrolling happens.
• * Factory Default UI: A couple of minor UI adjustments to look better under Vista/Win7. The following is Vista/Win7 only:
  - Default font is now "Segoe UI" (before it was Tahoma).
  - Increased the default line height in Tree, List, Catalog by 2
    pixels.
    Note that the row heights for Tree, List, and Catalog are
    all individually configurable by Ctrl+Shift+Wheel.
  - Increased initial window width to account for wider borders.
• * Factory Default UI changes for all OS:
  - Background Bar now visible by default.
  - File Info Tips now enabled by default.
• ! Minor icon drawing glitches fixed.
• ! Raw View: Error on viewing short (shorter than view port) files with Tail ON. Fixed.
• ! Text Preview: The 5 MB limit was not correctly implemented so that larger files were still attempted to be previewed which could lead to various errors. Fixed.

• * The free space indicator on the leftmost section on the Statusbar was fixed to unit GB. Now it is flexible and thus consistent with any free space indicator on other parts of the Statusbar.
• ! File icons in various lists: Non-existing file items should get no icon at all in most lists, but this stopped working in Win7 where they got the default icon instead. Fixed.
• ! List: Since v9.00.0018 - 2010-04-17 20:18 there was a bug with drag selection and hot scrolling. Items that were scrolled out of view toward the top of the list were unselected. Fixed. Also fixed a couple of related painting glitches and made the whole thing smoother.

• ! File icons: Win7 (Vista, too?) changed the rules for retrieving the correct display icon for files without extension and files with unknown (=non-associated) extension. This version attempts to comply to the new rules while keeping compatibility with XP and previous OSs.
  There also was an inconcistency in display of these icons in some parts of XY that surfaced only under Win7. Should be fixed now.
• ! Shell context menu for some folders wrong since v9.10.0002. Fixed.

• + Scripting commands enhanced:
    - setting, settingp
      New named argument "backgroundedfileops"
        value = OR-combined from the following values
           1 [x] Backup (currently unused; has yet to be coded)
           2 [x] Copy
           4 [x] Cross-volume move
           8 [ ] Intra-volume move (always parallel = not queued!)
          16 [ ] Delete            (always parallel = not queued!)
    Example:
      ::setting "backgroundedfileops", 31; //= all fileops
• + Menu Help: Added command "Various Information...". Pops up some contextual data. Identical to SC info which now has become obsolete.
• + List | White Space Context Menu: Added command "New Folder" to the top, even with an icon. Just felt like doing something conventional and newbie hugging this morning. Note that you will not see this command if "Configuration | Advanced | Navigation commands in List context menu" is ON. A bit experimental still... I know.
• * Right-Click Popup Menus: Now they are positioned 2 pixels to the right/bottom from the mouse pointer, which allows you -- without moving the mouse -- to click through to the background to make the menu disappear or trigger some other action. This affects almost all such menus in the program. An exception is the context menu of edit boxes which is controlled by Windows.
• * Background Jobs Dialog: Reduced the relative time resolution from seconds to minutes. Less ticking, more peace of mind.
• ! Fixed a bug in changing the view of background tabs via their context menu: their supposedly current view was falsely read from the current foreground tab.
• ! Toolbar: Left-click dropdowns were not positioned below the button but right at the mouse pointer on a non-overflowing toolbar. Fixed.
• ! Scripting: Scripts run through the address bar that resulted in closing the app (e.g.: #192;) generated error 91. Fixed.
• ! XYcopy.exe: Stupid error message when you curiously tried to run it standalone. Fixed. Now you are politely informed that this will get you nowhere.
• ! DPI aware icons: "Shared" overlays were blown up under Vista/Win7. Fixed.

v9.10.0000 - 2010-05-05 12:00

= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE.
Main changes since last release:

• +++ Queued File Operations 2.0. Improved interface and functionality.
  - Now you can remove selected jobs from the queue (temporarily or permanently).
  - Now you can pause and restart the queue at any time.
  - Now you can start selected jobs out of queue order.
  - Animated feedback on the statusbar while background jobs are in progress.
  - Option to show details of each job in the queue dialog.
  - Option to hide completed and skipped jobs from the queue dialog.
  - Now you can configure which types of file operations are backgrounded for parallel or sequential (queued) processing, and which are always run immediately in the foreground.
• +++ Background Bar. New optional UI element, a mini toolbar at the right end of the Statusbar containing a single button which tells you about the status of background jobs and lets you open the Background Jobs dialog.
• +++ Find By Type. Now you can narrow down the scope of your search to only a specific type of files, e.g. image files or audio files. Highly intuitive and extremely useful little feature.
• +++ Text Preview. One-click instant preview for more than 50 different text file formats. And you can freely add extensions to the list of supported formats.
• +++ Preview. Now you can easily add any number of new extensions to all preview types (Text, Images, Fonts, Office, Web) right in the configuration dialog.
• +++ Mouse Down Blow Up on Thumbnails. Now you can configure whether left, right, or both mouse buttons trigger MDBU.
• +++ Recently Opened Items. New command "Open..." lets you can enter,
  paste, or select an item (file, folder, drive) to open, without the need to go there first. Recently opened items are stored in a MRU list that is saved between sessions.
  In the Pro edition, the Open dialog features an OpenWith dropdown menu.
• +++ Find Files. Now you can search by the length of the file title (that's the document name without the path).
• +++ Address Bar. Now you can launch DOS commands directly through the XYplorer UI by prefixing "!" to the command, e.g. "!dir".
• +++ Icons. Support for DPI aware icon sizes on custom DPI settings.
• +++ Privacy and Discretion. New option "Don't save most-recently-used lists" increases XYplorer's stealth level, together with "Don't save history" and "Don't save tabs".
• +++ Bugs fixed. Particularly an "Access Denied" issue with certain folders on Vista/Win7 is now history.

v9.00.0217 - 2010-05-05 09:41

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

• ! Save Configuration: Would lose the internal "selected files" list of each tab, and convert tab paths to portable paths (making them unusable) if the Portable Tabs tweak was ON. Of course, this bug went unnoticed when settings were saved on exit. Fixed.
• ! Portable Tabs: The PortableTabs tweak did not work correctly with subfolders of app path. Fixed.
• ! List was not refreshed when dragging tree-to-tree on a special path. Fixed.

v9.00.0216 - 2010-05-04 11:00

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• * Type Filter: Added more filters and more extensions. All pretty intuitive apart from maybe one thing: "Media files" are simply a combination of "Audio files" and "Video files".
  While Audio, Video, Vector, Archive, and Executable are not among resp. matching the "Previewed Formats", you can still add your own extensions to them (as comma-separated lists) using these tweaks:
    AudioPreviewCustomExtensions=bim,bam,bum
    VideoPreviewCustomExtensions=
    VectorPreviewCustomExtensions=
    ArchivePreviewCustomExtensions=
    ExePreviewCustomExtensions=
• * Type Filter: With the focus in the Type Filter edit box press F1 to see a list of the file types that pertain to the current type filter. The list also has information about the OS-associated applications.
• * Toolbar: Will not capture the mouse anymore (hover effect) when the main window is in the background. This avoids possible issues where a mouse click apparently went "through" a foreground window directly to a toolbar button.
  

v9.00.0214 - 2010-05-03 21:47

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• * Type Filter: Added more extensions:
  - Text files: ws
  - Web files: aspx
  - Executable files: ahk, jar, py, vb, ws
• * Search Results Caching: Now cached search results get a special statusbar icon to distinguish them more clearly from live search results.
• ! List: Inline rename box resize glitch fixed.
• ! Tabs: Tab headers resize glitch fixed.

v9.00.0213 - 2010-05-03 11:16

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• * Type Filter: New order in the dropdown:
    - All types (= no type filtering at all)
    - Text files
    - Image files
    - Media files
    - Font files
    - Web files
    - Office files
    - Executable files
• * Type Web files and Text files: Added htaccess, cfg, and inc.
• * Type Filter dropdown: Now supports simple type-ahead find, also in collapsed state. Simply type "t" to select "Text files", "a" to select "All files", etc.
• * Tweak UseDPIAwareIconSizes is now enabled by factory default.
• ! Find Files: Now correctly displays "Access Denied" when it should. Before it just showed an empty (and potentially misleading!) search results listing with no further information.
• ! Error "Access Denied". Fix #3. Now it also works on junctions without a HIDDEN attribute.
• ! Error "Access Denied". Fix #4. Now works everywhere, also with Find Files and other parts that were struck by the "Access Denied" error under Vista/Win7.

v9.00.0211 - 2010-05-02 18:56

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• * Find By Type: Split Web/Office files into separate types, and added new type "Executable files". Removed "txt" from Web files.
  - Web files:
    htm, html, shtml, mht, php, php3, php4, php5, asp, xml, swf,
    svg, svgz, url, pdf, eml, msg, nws, xps
  - Office files:
    csv, rtf, doc, dot, docx, dotx, xls, xlt, xlsx, xltx, ppt, pot,
    pps, pptx, potx, ppsx, odt, ods
  - Executable files:
    bat, chm, cmd, com, cpl, exe, hlp, hta, inf, js, jse, lnk, msi,
    pif, reg, scr, sys, url, vbe, vbs, wsf, wsh
• ! Find By Type: Dropdown was not correctly updated when changing between different Search Results tabs. Fixed.
• ! Text Preview: Ctrl+C did not work. Fixed.
• ! Error "Access Denied". Fix #2.
  

v9.00.0210 - 2010-05-02 16:08

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

• +++ Find By Type: Added a little dropdown to the Find Files tab under Name & Location, where you can select a general file type to narrow down the search results to only that type of files. The available file types exactly correspond to the lists under Configuration | Previewed Formats, and are listed on the Find Files under the following captions:
    - All types (= no type filtering at all)
    - Text files
    - Web/Office files
    - Font files
    - Image files
    - Media files
  So, to make that clear: "Type" here is not the same as the "Type" column in Details view.
  
  Notes
  - Any extensions excluded from Preview in Configuration
    Previewed Formats are nevertheless used by the find files type
    filter.
  - Note that the types partly overlap, e.g. *.txt is in "Text
    files" and in "Web/Office files".
  - Apart from "All types" all type filters will return only files,
    not directories.
  - Tip: To quickly list e.g. all Images simply select type "Image
    files" and leave the Name field empty.
  - You should really like this if you often work within certain
    file types because it dramatically increases the quality of your
    search results, resp. reduces the necessary effort to define a
    good search definition.
  
  Future
  - It is planned to make all Named Visual Filters available as
    User-Defined Type Filters!
  - Type filters might be added to the Quick Search syntax.
  
• + Tweak to use DPI aware icon sizes on custom DPI settings. For example if you set DPI to 120 (125%) then the small icon size will be 22x22 under V/7 instead of the standard 16x16. DPI aware icon sizes are applied to Tree, List, and Catalog. To enable it do this:
    UseDPIAwareIconSizes=1
  The tweak is only applied if you have XP or higher. But only for Vista or higher it can be recommended since the XP graphics engine lacks in this respect. Under the standard setting DPI=96 the tweak has no effect.
• + Background Jobs: Added "Start Job Now" command to the context menu of each paused pending job -- a single click to start a particular job from a pending queue.
  The command is also available on the context menu of skipped jobs, so if you change your mind and want to do a skipped job you don't need to unskip it first. Simply click "Start Job Now". As a consequence the "Start the unskipped job now?" prompt after unskipping has been removed.
• * List: Increased the space between icon and name by one pixel. Looks better.
• * Background Jobs: Now when quitting XYplorer and there are pending jobs in the background queue you are prompted whether you really want to exit and purge the jobs.
  The queue is set to paused state while the prompt is up (so you have a fair change to purge the jobs by exiting the app).
• * Toolbar Visual Filter: Displayed MRU enlarged to 16 items (was 10).
• ! Tree: The context menu for shares did not feature "Create New Subfolder Here" and "Copy Path". Fixed.
• ! Error "Access Denied" when browsing certain junctions (e.g. "My Documents\My Music\") under Vista/Win7. Fixed.
  Background: Vista/Win7 have hidden junctions, which have the same names as folder names had in XP. In file managers, these junctions are shown as hidden shortcuts, with File Folder properties, used, in part, to redirect XP program installations that rely on the old XP folder names and XP locations. If you try to browse them, you'll get an "Access Denied" error.
