v8.10.0000 - 2009-06-30 12:00

= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE.
Main changes since last release:

• +++ Thumbnails: Now you get thumbnails for non-picture files like PDF, HTML, MHT, EML, MSG, Office, and Video files.

• +++ Scripting command Report now supports meta properties like Title, Author, Comments etc.
• +++ Jump To Item: An ingenious new feature that allows you to quickly spot any item in a large list, just as you know it from your web browser's Find Bar.
• +++ Improved support for overlong filenames.
• +++ Dual Pane related bug fixes.

v8.00.0018 - 2009-06-30 10:55

• * Updated the help file.
• ! Opening a new Tab and closing it right away selected the wrong Tab. Fixed.

v8.00.0017 - 2009-06-29 21:15

• + Tweak: This can be used either to get mouse buttons 4 & 5 working (set it to 1 = factory default), or -- if you don't have those buttons (or if they work without the extra support!) -- to turn the support off (set it to 0), save some CPU cycles, a bit of memory, and the atmosphere.
    [Settings]
    XButtonSupport=1
• ! Configuration | Tags: You could spoil your database by creating Tags with characters ';' or '' in the name. This is prevented now. You get a message "Characters ';' and '' are not allowed in tag names." when you try.
• ! Mouse Down Blow Up: Images were panned that needed no panning because they were exactly the size of the screen. Fixed.
• ! The "XY TRIAL VERSION" label printed on preview images in trial mode was moving far too many pixels through memory. Fixed.

v8.00.0016 - 2009-06-29 10:33

• + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Added option "Full screen". If checked then the blow up will use the full screen (if necessary), not only XYplorer's main window. The option "Shrink to fit window" will then apply to the screen, of course, i.e. it will work as "Shrink to fit screen". Note that these settings apply to MDBU on thumbnails as well as to MDBU on the image preview on Info Panel | Preview.
• * Reworked the panning alogrithm for blow ups that need to be panned (because they don't fit completely into the view port).
• * Configuration | Preview: Renamed
  S&hrink larger originals to fit window -> S&hrink to fit window
• * Dialog "Stepping through a Script": Increased width to 600 pixels.
• * Dialog "Stepping through a Script": Script lines larger than 1024 characters are now displayed only partly because larger strings slow down the list a bit.
• ! Window title was not correctly updated when going from Search Results to normal browsing via Refresh File List (F5). Fixed.

v8.00.0015 - 2009-06-28 10:10

• ! Info Panel | Preview of PDF (and other formats depending on your system): Before the List lost the focus to the preview without even telling you about it. This is over: Now the list steals the focus back!
• ! Toolbar button "Home" was not correctly updated on pane switches, and on startup. Fixed.

v8.00.0013 - 2009-06-27 11:54

• ! Full Screen Preview: Would actually run media (e.g. MPGs) instead of just showing the preview image. Fixed.
• ! Full Screen Preview of HTML etc.: Wrong positioning of preview depending on setting. Fixed.
• ! Full Screen Preview of HTML etc.: The preview extraction was stupidly done two times for each image. Fixed. Which means the speed doubled. :)
• ! With "Shrink larger originals to fit window" unchecked the MDBU for PDFs (etc.) was mis-aligned and too small. Fixed.
• ! Jump To Item: Would not find item that was focused but not selected, i.e. the item that's right where we are. Fixed.

v8.00.0012 - 2009-06-26 17:25

• + Jump To Item: Now you can jump upwards by holding Shift.
• + Address Bar: Now you can do Shift+Enter to open the location in a new tab.
• ! Startup on pane 2 with only two panes and IP visible would lead to complete freeze. Fixed.
• ! Info Panel was not always reset when switching panes. Fixed.

v8.00.0010 - 2009-06-26 10:22

• * Info Panel: Now the max size of the IP is calculated so that at least one list row is visible, even with a horizontal scrollbar.
• ! Tabs: Fixed drawing glitches where X-buttons would stay visible when they should not, and a hover-effect was not removed after leaving the tab.
• ! The history of a closed tab was removed even with "History per tab" OFF. Fixed. If the history is global it should not change when a tab is removed.

v8.00.0009 - 2009-06-25 23:10

• + Thumbnails and Preview (Shell-made): Now also the following file types are supported: MHT, URL, NWS, EML, MSG.
• + The Full Screen Preview (F11) now works for HTML, MHT, URL, NWS, EML, and MSG files in perfect original size quality. Even more file types might work depending on your system.
• + Tweak to exclude certain file types (identified by extension) from the shell-made preview and thumbnails.
  This would exclude MHT and URL files:
    [Settings]
    NoPrevShell=.mht.url.
• * Info Panel: Now the max size of the IP is calculated more smartly and takes into account whether it's DP or SP mode, horizontal or vertical DP, and how the top bars are layouted. IOW, there's a good change that your IP can be larger again.
• % Info Panel | Preview: Now the quality of Shell-made previews is much better, and you can zoom them by enlarging the Info Panel. Also the Mouse Down Blow Up is much larger now.
• ! A blocked list was not refreshed when the unavailable path got available again. Fixed.

v8.00.0008 - 2009-06-25 11:50

• * Configuration | Thumbnails: Renamed
    - S&uper-fast thumbnail creation (at slightly lesser quality)
      -> S&uper-fast thumbnails
    - Create &shell supported thumbnails as well
      -> Show thumbnails for &non-picture files
• * Menu Go | History...: This and similar List-dialogs now got a little "Tips..." button which replaces the tooltip which was just hanging around stupidly.
• * Going back and forward in history now will skip non-existing or non-available paths.
• ! Fixed a refresh issue in Tree after deleting a folder.
• ! A locked Tree was completely reset and jumped to MyComputer under certain conditions. Fixed.
• - Removed the following feature from v5.00.0067 (2006-07-27 13:00). It's counter-intuitive and has been kind of obsolete anyway since we have Default Tabs:
    Tabs: added another anti-tab-proliferation (aka tab gun)
    measurement. If the current tab is locked and no other tab with
    exactly the targeted destination location exists, now XY looks
    for a home zoned tab where this destination would fit. Only if
    this ain't found either, a new tab is auto-opened. Looking for
    tabs is always left to right.
