- > Here's what happens when you start XY with startpath in command line, in wild man's code:
If any existing tab points to that path
select this tab
else
if 1st instance
if it is not locked AND
if "Open command line start path in new tab" is false
overwrite the current tab
else
create new tab
else [2nd instance]
create new tab - ! With "Don't save tabs" enabled, passing the startpath via command line resulted in a superfluous blank tab on startup. Fixed.

v6.10.0032 - 2007-06-08 12:57
- + Configuration | General: added option "Clear tabs on exit". If enabled then it does what it says: clear the tabs, so that only the current tab will be there on the next restart.
Note: Just as with "Clear history on exit" this option actually means that the current tabs are not stored to the INI file in the moment the ini file is written. Which means, that if you exit without saving, this setting has no effect at all; also, when you click "Save Configuration" then the tabs will not be saved if "Clear tabs on exit" is enabled. Same with "Clear history on exit". Hence these options are totally misnamed! See next paragraph... - * Configuration | General: renamed two options:
"Clear tabs on exit" -> "Don't save tabs"
"Clear history on exit" -> "Don't save history" - * Now, when passing the startpath via command line parameter, any existing tab pointing to that path will opened. When none is found, a new tab is created. Of course, when you enable "Open command line start path in new tab" then always a new tab is created.

v6.10.0030 - 2007-06-08 11:03
- * Now, when opening a path using the command line switch, a new tab is only created if no tab for that path is already open, else that existing tab is simply selected. Before, a new tab was created always.
- ! When switching from thumbs view to another view while thumbs still being processed, you could experience various degrees of software confusion. Fixed. Now the processing will be stopped first, then you can switch views.
- ! You still could trigger a slow-dbl-click-induced rename with an evil combination of single-clicks and double-clicks and the help of programmed middle-mouse-buttons. But no more. This is finally fixed!

v6.10.0027 - 2007-06-07 11:30
- ! Would not always find an existing server on auto-opening new tab after calling 2nd instance. Fixed.
- ! Menus containing file names with "&" chars treated those chars as accelerators. Fixed.
- - Configuration dialog: removed the "Save Settings Now" button. It was incompatible with the expected work flow. To manually save settings to file (i.e. when you have disabled "Save settings on Exit") use menu File | Configuration File | Save Configuration.

v6.10.0015 - 2007-06-06 13:06
- + Configuration | Advanced: added option "Cache specific icons". Enable it to obtain specific icons (e.g. for ICO files) from the shell icon cache. It's faster than accessing the files each time. In v6.00.0008 (16.05.07 12:43) I fixed a rare problem with the icon cache:
! Icon cache could get confused with items whose icons were drawn from embedded resources (like *.ico, *.exe ...). Such a confusion could be caused by swap-renaming 2 of such items. Fixed.
However, this fix (which was simply NOT to use the cache for these file types) lead to a slight slowdown in listing files. So I hereby make it optional. I recommend to enable this new option -- you won't have any problems until you swap-rename two ICO or EXE files. And even then, menu View|Caches|Refresh List Icons Cache will immediately update any wrongly displayed icons (it won't update the cache, though -- I'm still working on this one...). - ! Would not always find an existing server on start up. Fixed.

- + Toolbar: added button for "Auto-Refresh" (w/ pushed state).
- % Switching directories with "Auto-Refresh" enabled might be a tad faster now.
- ! Wrong column was sorted after drag-moving the sorted column. Fixed.

v6.10.0011 - 2007-06-04 18:54
- %%% Image preview: Now you get highest quality resampling (shrinking, stretching) even with huge pictures! There's still a limit beyond which the resampling will be lower quality, but the limit is much higher now (depending on your system around 20 million square pixels = 4000 x 5000 pixels!).

v6.10.0010 - 2007-06-03 20:00
- ! There was an issue with "Open Command Prompt Here": the command prompt window sometimes/on some systems (mystery...) showed the wrong icon and was grouped together with XY in the taskbar. Thanks to mwb1100, this is fixed now.
- ! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Excluded font files had not been saved between sessions. Fixed.

v6.10.0007 - 2007-06-02 10:08
- + Configuration | Colors | Color Filters: added color coding by file attribute "NOT CONTENT INDEXED". Use this pattern:
/indexednot (or /i) -> matches all items with NOT CONTENT INDEXED set
Tip: If you have no idea what this is, search the web for FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED (aka the "the FANCI bit"). It's around since Win2K. - + Added "Not [content] indexed" to the attributes on the Properties tab and on the Attributes tab (Find Files), and to the Attributes column in the list.
- ! Find Files tab | Excluded Folders: could not use the Backspace key when renaming an item in this list because it would trigger its assigned hotkey action (default = Go Up). Fixed.

v6.10.0006 - 2007-06-01 10:40
- + Font Preview: added field "File name" to the info section. Useful when screenshooting a font sample with information, since font file names often have low resemblance to the actual font names.
Also underlined the font name, suggesting that you can click this name to (de)activate the font (a fantastic feature for designers that few users seem to know!). - ! Slow-dbl-click-induced rename was triggered by fast dbl-click since one day. Fixed. Actually this problem could be older on your system if your dbl-click time (aka dbl-click speed) was larger than 300 msec. This is fixed, too.
