    * Size Column Format | Bars: Experimentally the background of all non-empty
      bars is now drawn in a light-blue. Reason: I found the previous way a bit
      misleading sometimes. And ugly.
    * Help | Various Information: Improved the Windows version information #2.
    ! Portable Devices: "Paste" commands were greyed out in the Edit menu when
      they should be available. Fixed.


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

    * Help | Various Information: Improved the Windows version information.
    * File | Exit without Saving: Ever since we have an Action Log the log file is
      invariably saved on exit, even on "Exit without Saving". Reason: The Action
      Log should be in sync with the actions performed on the file system.
      But now I think "without Saving" is "without Saving". So nothing is saved
      anymore on "Exit without Saving".
    ! Portable Devices: On Windows 10 then auto-refresh on plug in/out did not
      work. Fixed.
    ! Portable Devices: Fixed a couple of glitches.

    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Tab captions: On "Folder only" the
      captions showed the left-most path component instead of the right-most
      path component in the case of Portable Devices. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs: Added option "Reuse existing tabs
      when changing the location". Tick it to reuse existing tabs when changing
      locations through Favorite Folders, Favorite Files, Special System
      Folders, Hotlist, Recent Locations, or Catalog.
      This raises the tweak TabReuseTabs to the UI. The other possible values of
      the tweak are hereby discarded.
    * Status Bar: Before, when you selected one or more folders in the list the
      Status Bar would show: "[n] selected: 0 bytes", even if the folders had
      contents. Quite confusing and misleading.
      From now on it's handled like this:
      Example files only:
        2 selected: 3,11 KB (3.183 bytes)
      Example folders only:
        4 selected: 4 folders
      Example files and folders:
        6 selected: 3,11 KB (3.183 bytes) and 4 folders
      Additional advantage: You have a quick way to check the number of folders
      among the selections.
    * Status Bar: Similar story as above for the "total" display (if nothing is
      selected).
      Example files only:
        total: 3,11 KB (3.183 bytes)
      Example folders only:
        total: 4 folders
      Example files and folders:
        total: 3,11 KB (3.183 bytes) and 4 folders
      Additional advantage: You have a quick way to check the number of folders
      among the listed items.

    * Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Check existence of
      subfolders in tree: Now this setting is honored when the Tree is
      auto-refreshed. It is still ignored when the Tree is actively refreshed by
      the user.
      BTW, this might also speed up refreshing a network location, where "Check
      existence of subfolders in tree" is usually OFF.
    ! Hover Box: Did not work for files on portable devices (wrong message "File
      is empty"). Fixed.
      Of course, not all file types can be previewed on a PD, but at least now
      you get in the Hover Box what you get in MDBU and Preview.
    ! Text Dialogs: If you checked the Word Wrap checkbox in a text dialog (e.g.
      via "Scripting | Run Script..." or SC text) the Find dialog didn't popup
      anymore on Ctrl+F. Fixed.

    * SC QuickSearch enhanced: Added flag "n" to return the matching items
      without path.
      Syntax: quicksearch([query="*"], [path], [separator="<crlf>"], [flags])
        flags:  [optional] String of flags to modify the function.
                n: Names only. Return matching items without path.
      Examples:
        text quicksearch("jpg", , , "n");
        text quicksearch("jpg", 3:="n");
    * Hover Box: If the system colors are rather dark, the text preview in the
      Hover Box is now dark as well.
    ! Branch View: Sorting by Path sometimes inconsistent with sort order in
      Tree. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing
      | Queue file operations: Was always disabled since v18.90.0131 -
      2018-05-22 19:19. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead
      Find | Ignore diacritics: Did not work for Greek characters since

    * List | Full Row Select mode: From now on, when you right-click an
      unselected row anywhere but in the very caption it does not select that
      item anymore but behaves like right-clicking the white space (pops the
      white space context menu without changing any selections).
      This is pretty much like File Explorer behaves as well. Before, it could
      have been hard to pop the white space context menu when in Full Row Select
      mode because of lack of white space.
    ! 64-bit Context Menu Paste Bug: When copying items via the "Copy" command
      in the Context Menu, sometimes the "Paste" command was missing when
      popping that menu on the target folder. Fixed.

    + Preview Pane: Now when an audio or video file has no associated preview
      handler but still is previewable using DirectShow/quartz.dll you will find
      the basic controls (Play, Pause, Progress Bar) in the Status Bar. Before,
      you could not control auch a preview at all in the Preview Pane (you had
      to open the Preview Tab to use the controls there).
