v21.50.0116 - 2021-02-10 14:19
    + SC QuickSearch enhanced: New flag "t" includes the top folders themselves 
      in a multi-location search, i.e. top folders that match the search 
      criteria are returned in the search results.
      Syntax: quicksearch([query="*"], [path], [separator="<crlf>"], [flags])
        flags:  [optional] String of flags to modify the function.
                t: Include top folders in multi-location search.
      Examples:
        text quicksearch("f*", "D:\folder1|D:\folder2", , "t");
        text quicksearch("f*", "D:\folder1|D:\folder2", 3:="t");
    * Small dialogs with a Live Filter Box: When the cursor/focus is in the box 
      you now can press ESC to clear the box and thereby reset the filter. Only 
      when the box is empty ESC will close the dialog.
      That way the small Live Filter Boxes now work the same as the main Live 
      Filter Box that controls the file list.
      This new behavior can be tweaked off like this:
        LiveFilterResetOnEsc=0
    * Custom Event Actions: The SkipBrowseEvents tweak is now saved between 
      sessions.
    ! Status Bar: On small resolution screens (like 1024x768) the status bar 
      sections would overlap each other under certain conditions. 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.

v21.50.0115 - 2021-02-08 13:45
    + SC get("listofcommands") enhanced: Now you can return the list of all 
      commands *including* the accelerators (marked by a prefixed 
      "&"-character).
      Syntax: get("listofcommands", [flags], [separator=CRLF])
        flags: (bit field)
          4 = Include accelerators.
      Example:
        text get("listofcommands", 4);
    * List: From now on, the Path column is used as 2ndary sort field (ascending 
      order) in Find mode (incl. Branch View). Before, the Name column was used.
    ! Status Bar: On small resolution screens (like 1024x768) the status bar 
      sections would overlap each other under certain conditions. Fixed.

v21.50.0114 - 2021-02-06 19:15
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: PopupNativeContextMenu
      Action: Pops a native context menu for all selected list items.
      Syntax: popupnativecontextmenu
      Remarks:
      - It's a lightning-fast 100% native context menu (no shell involved).
      - The command won't pop any menu when there are no selections in the 
        list.
      - If there are selections in the list the command will set the input focus 
        to the list (if it's not there already). Otherwise various menu commands 
        would not work as expected. So, SC PopupNativeContextMenu ONLY works for 
        items in the file list, not in the folder tree.
      Examples:
        popupnativecontextmenu;
      This script in CEA "Left-click on status bar" will pop a native context 
      menu on left-clicking the first section of the status bar:
        if (<CEA_ClickedItem> == 1) {popupnativecontextmenu;}
    * Edit | Select | Selection Stats: The dialog now has the caption "List 
      Stats" (instead of "Selection Stats") if nothing is selected.

v21.50.0113 - 2021-02-05 21:17
    + SC QuickSearch enhanced: Added flag "l" to return directories with a 
      trailing backslash.
      Syntax: quicksearch([query="*"], [path], [separator="<crlf>"], [flags])
        flags:  [optional] String of flags to modify the function.
                l: Return directories with a trailing backslash. (l=lower case L)
      Examples:
        text quicksearch("a*", , , "l");
        text quicksearch("a*", 3:="l");

v21.50.0112 - 2021-02-05 13:54
    + Find Files | Name & Location | Invert: Now the caption is shown in red 
      when the box is ticked. Makes it easier to note this important setting.
    * Status Bar: From now on in Branch View with "Show Folder Sizes" enabled 
      the total/selected bytes count only adds up the file bytes (not the folder 
      bytes), else we get double counts resulting in a wrong total.
      It's not perfect (when you select a folder and a file from a different 
      folder the total is lacking the size of the folder), but clearly better 
      than before. Since such a list is a complex self-containing thing I don't 
      think there is a perfect solution.
    % Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Now when you open the 
      Actions menu by clicking into the Action column you can close the menu by 
      clicking into the same column again. Before, the menu would pop again when 
      you did that.

    ! Tags: Since TagMaxTagsInMenu is tweakable (v21.40.0124 - 2021-01-12 16:18) 
      some menu commands called the wrong functions because some hard indices 
      had not yet been made soft. Fixed.
      BTW, the TagMaxTagsInMenu tweak is now limited to a maximum of 99.
    ! Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: List had a horizontal 
      scrollbar when it was not necessary. Fixed.

    + Custom Event Actions: Added new event:
      Clicking on Line Numbers:
      - Double-click on line numbers header
      Notes:
      - The 2nd action (Autosize columns now) had been the hard-coded 
        behavior previously. Now it's the factory default.
      - The next 6 actions are all found in that order in menu View | Sort By.
    ! Various MRU lists: The dummy item as section separator "-----> mru" was 
      falsely listed in the MRU list when typing e.g. "-" or "m". Fixed.

v21.50.0109 - 2021-02-02 19:30
    + Custom Event Actions: Added 3 new events:
      Clicking on White:
      - Middle-click on white in tab bar
      - Middle-click on white in breadcrumb bar
      Other Events:
      - Drive added or removed
      Enjoy.
    ! Auto-Refresh: Adding a new drive (e.g. by plugging in a USB stick) was not 
      always detected. Should work better now.
    > MDBUZ: If you use a high zoom (1000%) and combine it with "Shrink to fill" 
      you end up with a "Zoom to fit" effectively for images that are larger 
      than just an icon.

    > MDBUZ: From 400% onwards you will see the real pixels, not any 
      anti-aliased sludge which just does not look good anymore at these extreme 
      enlargements.
    ! Catalog: Some icons that were stated in the caption of a Catalog item were 
      not shown correctly anymore since 20210119. Fixed.
    ! SC get: The context of Custom Toolbar Buttons had not been set for left 
      clicks, only for right-clicks. Fixed.

v21.50.0106 - 2021-01-30 16:00
  +++ Mouse Down Blow Up Zoomed: Ready for another game changer? MDBU now can 
      zoom into the original by a freely configurable zoom factor. Got small 
      images, large screens, and weak eyes? MDBUZ is your ticket.
      To enable the feature tick "Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | 
      General | Apply zoom" and enter a percentage of your choice.
      - Note that you can also enter a value smaller than 100 to pop a preview 
        smaller than the original. For what it's worth.
      - Allowed values: 10 - 1000.
      - The zoom applies to all MDBUs (thumbnails, icons, preview tab, preview 
        pane, floating preview) and all MDBUs that show an image (so also e.g. 
        PDFs).
      - An internal upper limit is currently hard-coded to 50,000,000 square 
        pixels. Otherwise zooming large images by 1000% (note that MDBUZ shows 
        the whole image, not just a part) will destroy your computer... ;) well, 
        it will just stop working. Can be made configurable later.
      - Note that the blow up obeys to "Shrink to fit" if ticked.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Recent 
      location pins | Maximum number of pins: Number increased by one which each 
      session since 20210113. Fixed.

v21.50.0104 - 2021-01-21 12:29
  +++ Custom Event Actions: Added a new section "Clicking on Line Numbers" with 
      four events (D/L/M/R-click) and a number of interesting actions. 
      Obviously, these events are only available in the Details View (including 
      Details with Thumbnails), which is the only view with line numbers.
      Remarks:
      - The variables <CEA_ClickedItem> and <CEA_ClickedItems> are available to 
        scripts triggered by "Run script".
      Remarks on the events:
      - Left-click: Note that you get a 200ms delay before the action is 
        triggered because we have to wait for a possible double-click before 
        firing the left-click event.
      Remarks on the actions:
      - None: Don't do anything.
      - Like white: Handle as just click on white.
      - Sticky selection: Click on line number toggles list item selection.
        With "Sticky selection" activated you cannot start a lasso selection 
        from the Line Numbers column anymore with that button.
      - Clicked item context menu: Show a *basic* (= no shell extensions) shell 
        context menu for the clicked item. That menu pops faster than the normal 
        shell context menu.        
        On the right-click event the menu is shown for all selected items when 
        one of the selected items is clicked in the line number column (just 
        like when right-clicking the names directly).
        On the other clicks only the clicked item is selected (any other 
        selections are removed) and the menu is shown for that item.
      - Selected item(s) context menu: Show a *basic* (= no shell extensions) 
        shell context menu for the currently selected items (no matter where you 
        click). That menu pops faster than the normal shell context menu.
        No selections are added or removed no matter where you click.
    - Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Line number 
      selection: Removed that option. It's fully replaced by CEA "Clicking on 
      Line Numbers > L/M/R-click > Sticky selection".

      Obviously, these events are only available in the Details View (and 
      Details with Thumbnails), which is the only view with line numbers.
      Remarks:
      - "Line Numbers column" here means the area where there are numbers (= 
        items). In shorter lists you will have a numberless area at the bottom 
        which is just treated as white space here.
      - The variables <CEA_ClickedItem> and <CEA_ClickedItems> are available to 
        scripts triggered by "Run script".

      - Left-click: Note that you get a 200ms delay before the action is
