v14.80.0242 - 2015-03-07 20:58
    + Custom Event Actions (CEA): Added another action to the custom events 
      "right-click on the tree's white space" and "right-click on the list's 
      white space" (currently only as a tweak).
        5 = Popup the Favorite Files menu        
      Examples:
        CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite=5
        CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=5
    + Custom Event Actions (CEA): Added another action to the custom events 
      "right-click on the tree's white space" and "right-click on the list's 
      white space" (currently only as a tweak).
        6 = Run a script    
      Note:
        The script itself has to be defined in an extra key:
          CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite_Script=...
          CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite_Script=...
        The script has to be a one liner, so for longer scripts you would load a 
        script file.
      Example for the tweaked INI file:
        ; Tweak: 0=Favs, 1=Favs Full, 2=Drives, 3=Drives+Special, 4=Tabs, 5=FavFiles, 6=Script
        CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite=6
        CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite_Script=echo "Hi!";
        ; Tweak: 0=Edit menu, 1=Folder's shell menu, 2=Favorites, 3=reserved, 4=Tabs, 5=FavFiles, 6=Script
        CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=6
        CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite_Script=echo "Hi!";
      Tip:
        You would probably load a script file that pops a menu with some 
        interesting options rather than run a script directly on right-click 
        (which I would find a touch adventurous).
    ! Mount points could not be browsed correctly if Configuration | Controls 
      and More | Miscellaneous | Resolve junctions was ticked. Fix #2.

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

v14.80.0241 - 2015-03-06 15:22
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: GetSectionList
      Action: Returns a list of sections in an INI file or a list of "key=value" 
              pairs for the specified section.
      Syntax: getsectionlist([section], [INIfile], [separator=CRLF])
        section:    [optional] The name of the section.
                        If omitted a list of sections is returned.
        INIfile:    [optional] The name of the INI file. Expects a filename
                        with extension, and can be absolute or relative to the
                        to the running script's path.
                        If omitted XYplorer's current INI file is used.
        separator:  [optional] Separates the items in the returned list.
                        Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        return:       The list of sections or 'key=value' pairs in the specified 
                        section.
      Examples:
      - Displays the list of sections in XYplorer's current INI file:
          text getsectionlist();
      - Displays the list of "key=value" pairs in the "General" section of
        XYplorer's current INI file:
          text getsectionlist("General");                  
    + Rename Special | Batch Rename: Added switch /u for "Uppercase the first 
      character" (leave all other characters unchanged). Can be combined with 
      other switches.
      Example for a Batch Rename pattern:
        * /u
      Example for usage in SC rename:
        rename b, "* /u";

    * SC unset: The user doesn't have to think anymore about the order of the 
      arguments passed to unset. Unset will now automatically unset any 
      dereferenced variables before any normal variables (which is the only way 
      it works).
    ! SC isset: Did not honor the dereference operator. Fixed.

v14.80.0239 - 2015-03-05 15:04
    + SC get("counticons") enhanced. Now it can count the number of images in an 
      ICO resource.
      Examples:
        text get("counticons");   //of focused ICO file
        text <get counticons>;    //of focused ICO file
      Examples for a Custom Column of type Template (both work the same):
        <get counticons "<cc_item>">
        <get counticons <cc_item>>
    * SC echo, msg, text: Experimentally now any NULLs in the displayed text 
      are replaced by spaces. Reason: The first NULL would stop any further 
      display in a Windows Edit box. Now you see more in such cases.

v14.80.0238 - 2015-03-03 22:04
    ! Find Files | Dupes: With "Follow folder links" checked it was easy to get 
      one and same file two or more times into the Dupes check and then it would 
      be returned as a *dupe of itself*, a nonsense and also dangerous thing 
      since deleting any one of those "dupes" would of course delete "both". 
      Fixed. Now there is no way anymore to get self-dupes, even if you pass the 
      same search location two times.
    ! Mount points could not be browsed correctly if Configuration | Controls 
      and More | Miscellaneous | Resolve junctions was ticked. Fixed.
    ! XYplorerFree: Show Navigation Panel button was available but 
      dysfunctional. Show Tree button was missing. Fixed. Show Tree button is 
      now available and Show Navigation Panel button is not.

v14.80.0237 - 2015-03-02 21:49
    + Tweak to control whether folder thumbnails mind the "Logo" setting in a 
      folder's hidden desktop.ini file (as Explorer does):
        FolderThumbsDesktopIni=1
      Factory default is ON (1).
      If ON then folder thumbnails are harvested in the following order of precedence:
        <curitem>\desktop.ini>[ViewState]>Logo
        <curitem>\folder.jpg
        <curitem>\folder.png
        <curitem>\folder.gif
        <curitem>\*.jpg/*.png (alphabetically first JPG, if none then first PNG)
      Else the first line is skipped:
        <curitem>\folder.jpg
        <curitem>\folder.png
        <curitem>\folder.gif
        <curitem>\*.jpg/*.png (alphabetically first JPG, if none then first PNG)
    ! Custom Columns: The "Junction Target" special property column was always 
      empty for SymLinks and Junctions to folders. Fixed.
    ! Thumbnails were not generated anymore for MP4 files since 20150214. Fixed.

v14.80.0236 - 2015-02-18 15:03
    + Special Properties | Audio: Now the Windows canonical properties are 
      exploited where XYplorer's own faster methods fail.
      These are the affected properties:
        text "<prop #audio.bitdepth>";
        text "<prop #audio.bitrate>";
        text "<prop #audio.channels>";
        text "<prop #audio.samplerate>";
      So, for example, your Custom Columns using Special Audio Properties will 
      show more data now for file types like APE, M4A, MPC, OGG, or WMA, 
      depending on the codecs installed on your system.
    * Breadcrumbs: Now the current (bolded) item in the dropdown match lists is 
      ensured to be in view in longer lists.
    ! Auto-Refresh: Recent issue regarding Locked Tree fixed.
    ! Manifest: A mistake in the manifest lead to reduced DPI Awareness in 
      Windows 8/8.1. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0067.
    * MRUs: Now, patterns from the following commands *are* added to the 
      command's MRU list when triggered via scripting IF the script is just a 
      call by command ID, e.g. "#123;":
        VisualFilter        (::filter)
        BatchRename         (::rename "b")
        RegExpRename        (::rename "r")
        SearchReplace       (::rename "s")
        KeepParticularChars (::rename "k")
      This refines a change made in v7.90.0078 - 2009-01-27 21:16.
    ! Drag and drop from WE Zip Folders did not work perfectly in all contexts. 
      Fixed.

    ! Portable Devices: Switching to a Tabset from the pre-PD era lead to 
      completely undefined PD colors and styles because of missing upgrade code 
      in this context. Fixed.

v14.80.0231 - 2015-02-11 10:41
    + Find Files: Added tweak to treat #, !, and [...] literally in search 
      patterns, and not as wildcards or special function characters.
        FindNoExtendedPatternMatching=1
      
      Examples:
        Pattern       Match tweak=1   Match tweak=0
        ---------------------------------------------
        #             ##KEEP##.jpg    1.jpg

        !#            !#3.jpg         a.jpg

      Note that the tweak also affects Quick Search.
      Might be raised to GUI in a later version.

    ! Portable Devices: Refreshed too often under certain conditions, too less 
      under other conditions. Changes.

v14.80.0230 - 2015-02-10 21:30
    + Portable Devices: Now you can open some items by dbl-click. Images, 
      e.g., should be opened by the Windows Preview. Others, like text files, 
      will probably not work. Explorer appears to open a temporary copy of them, 
      but XY does not go this way.
    ! Timestamping: The recent honoring of DST (v14.80.0217 - 2015-01-28 14:42) 
      had a negative side effect on timestamping which now ended up one hour off 
      for file dates in a DST phase different from now (e.g. when timestamping 
      summer files in winter). Fixed.
    ! Portable Devices: Auto-Refresh cannot be suspended on PDs so View | 
      Suspend Auto-Refresh should be OFF and DISABLED for them. Done.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0066.
