v14.50.0001 - 2014-09-20 13:33
  %%% Thumbnails: Total revision of memory handling. Now there won't be any Out 
      of Memory errors anymore when you have thousands of large thumbnails in 
      one folder. And the memory usage when showing folders with many thumbnails 
      is reduced to almost nothing.
      Of course, your current thumbnail caches should just work like before. No 
      need to create them from scratch.
      NOTE: Test carefully. These are radical changes.
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.

    + Custom Columns: Added variable <cc_base>. Contains the base name (name 
      without extension) of the current item. Note that folders have no 
      extensions, so <cc_base> will always return the full name for folders.
    ! List Management: Focus rectangle missing when needed under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.
    ! Line Number Selection: Something was not reset and the selection got 
      sticky. Fixed.
    ! View | Mini Tree | Hide Current Folder: Could be triggered via KS even in 
      a Maxi Tree. Fixed.

    % Mouse Down Blow Up Text: Better auto-placement of blow up.
    % Mouse Down Blow Up on Icons: Better auto-placement of blow up.
    ! Custom Columns: The line "end true;" in a column script would stop script 
      execution for any following lines. Fix #2. The first fix was too 
      aggressive and limited the scope of SC end (end should work with global 
      scope).
    ! Thumbnails: Since v14.50.0001 "XYThumbs.txt" was created even if Thumbs 
      Caching was turned off. Fixed.

    + Mouse Down Blow Up: Added tweak to prevent shrunk blow ups from being 
      moved:
        ShrinkToFitNoMove=1
    + Custom Copy: Added a tweak to customize the flags passed to CopyFileEx.
      The default flags (if the tweak is set to 0) are 
      COPY_FILE_ALLOW_DECRYPTED_DESTINATION | COPY_FILE_COPY_SYMLINK (= 2056).
      This, for example, would set the flag COPY_FILE_NO_BUFFERING (which is 
      supposed to speed up "very large file transfers" acc. to MS):
        CustomCopyFlags=4096
      Documention here under "dwCopyFlags":

    + Custom Copy: Added a tweak to disallow DoEvents (let Windows messages be 
      processed) while copying large files.
        CustomCopyNoDoEvents=1
      If you enable the tweak the progress dialog won't be moveable anymore with 
      the mouse while a large file is being copied.
    % Mouse Down Blow Up Text: Better auto-placement of blow up.
    % Mouse Down Blow Up on Icons: Better auto-placement of blow up.
    * View | Tab | Go Home: In v14.20.0204 "Go Home" was made to support Quick 
      Searches as homes. However, I failed to mention that this only works if 
      "Configuration | Tabs | Going home also restores the list layout" is 
      ticked. Otherwise "Go Home" will always set a tab to Browse mode.
    ! View | Tab | Go Home: Did not go home under all conditions. Fixed.

    + SC tab enhanced: The operation "get" got a new data parameter "mode" that 
      returns the list mode of the tab.
      Returned values:
        0 = Browse
        1 = Find (Search Results)
        3 = Drives
        4 = Network
        5 = Recycler
      Example:
        if (tab("get", "mode") == 1) {
          echo "It's a search results listing.";
        }
    * Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Mouse | Single click on icon opens 
      list items: Removed support for Tiles and Thumbnails views. It was too 
      counter-intuitive.
    ! Tabs: Home Zone was not case-insensitive. Fixed.

v14.50.0205 - 2014-11-05 16:41
    + Admin Settings: Now you can place a file with the fixed name "Lic.ini" in 
      the path of XYplorer.exe that contains the license data used to unlock the 
      app. This is quite useful e.g. when installing XYplorer in company 
      networks for large numbers of users that are covered by a single Corporate 
      License.
      
      The contents of Lic.ini should look like this (fill in your reg data 
      between < and >!):
        [Register]
        Name=<Your Registration Name>
        Code=<Your License Key>
      On buying a Corporate License a ready-made Lic.ini file will be sent to 
      you automatically.
           
      Note that using a file like Lic.ini has already been supported since 
      v9.80.0007 (2010-12-02 12:02), but in a more complicated way involving 
      Admin.ini. Now you got a much simpler way to achieve the same. Note that 
      the old way (via Admin.ini) will overwrite the new way.
    * Paper Folders: You cannot remove items from visually filtered Paper 
      Folders. When you try you now get a message "Cannot remove items from 
      filtered Paper Folders".
      Reason and good news: This limitation is caused by the way Visual Filters 
      and Paper Folders work internally. When Live Filters come to the list, 
      this limitation will not apply to them.
    ! Paper Folders: In Paper Folders, Visual filters were looking at the whole 
      path instead of just the filename. Fixed.
    ! Paper Folders: Thumbnails got confused on same-named files within one 
      Paper Folder. Fixed.
    ! List: Various drawing glitches on Full Row Select. Fixed.

    + Thumbnails: Added tweak "MaxFileSize" to limit the maximum file size (in

      For example:
        [Thumbs]
        MaxFileSize=250000
    ! Thumbnails: Since v14.50.0001 you could get stray dbits files under 
      certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Smart Dropdown Buttons: Would not correctly process soft paths preceded by
