v9.00.0021 - 2010-04-20 13:37
    + New variable <get xycopy_pending>. Returns the number of file 
      operations to be handled in the background (by XYcopy) that are 
      not yet completed.
      As always, SC getinfo supports the same argument:
        echo getinfo("xycopy_pending");
    + Added tweak to control which types of file operations are 
      backgrounded if Background Processing is enabled.
      The new key BackgroundedFileOps is a binary flag, an OR-ing (which 
      is here equivalent to adding the desired values) of the following 
      values:
         1 [ ] Backup (currently unused; has yet to be coded)
         2 [x] Copy
         4 [x] Cross-volume move
         8 [x] Intra-volume move  (always parallel = not queued!)
        16 [ ] Delete             (always parallel = not queued!)
      The default value is 14 (2+4+8), so from now on Delete 
      operations are by factory default not backgrounded:
        BackgroundedFileOps=14
      Later Backup will be added to the default operations.
      Note that the tooltip of "Enable Background Processing" in 
      Configuration | File Operations tells you about the current 
      setting.
    + Scripting commands enhanced:
      - setting, settingp
        New named argument "backgroundfileops"
          0 = Disable background processing of file operations
          1 = Enable background processing of file operations
        Example:
          ::setting "backgroundfileops", 1;
    + Status View: The position and size of the window is now stored 
      between calls and sessions.

    * Renamed Status Log to Status View.
    + Status View: Now the view is auto-updated every second, so the 
      Status View has become pretty alive. It also became non-modal and 
      appears in the taskbar and can be minimized. And it can be shown 
      even if the list is still empty (if no background file operations 
      have yet been initiated).
      If you can turn off the auto-update you still can update the list 
      by pressing F5.
    * Status View: Replaced "Triggered" by "Started".
    ! List: Would not draw unselected large icons of a size other than 
      32 x 32 under Vista/Win7. Fix #2.

    + XYcopy (Background Processing): Now also Move operations within 
      the same volume are processed in the background if Background 
      Processing is enabled. However, contrary to Copy and cross-volume 
      Move, intra-volume Move operations are never queued regardless of 
      the setting of "Queue file operations", because they are usually 
      fast and you rather expect immediate action.    
      Why are they now backgrounded?
      - There is no good reason not to background them.
      - It might be confusing to some users that cross-volumes moves are 
        treated differently from intra-volume moves.
      - Some virus-scanners seem to scan intra-volume moves (thus making 
        them slow) although no bytes are moved on an intra-volume move.
    * XYcopy.exe: New app icon now with alpha channels.
    ! List: Would not draw unselected large icons of a size other than 
      32 x 32 under Vista/Win7. Fixed.

    * New About box.
    * XYcopy.exe: New app icon.
    * Status Log: Now shows whether a job is queued in the second line.
    ! XYcopy (Background Processing): Jobs coming in a very fast and 
      tight sequence (only possible when triggered by a script) would 
      partly (and not fully predictably; race condition) ignore queueing 
      and run in parallel. Fixed.
    ! List: Fixed a glitch with drag selection where the last list item 
      was selected when the selection rect was completely below that 
      item.

v9.00.0017 - 2010-04-16 16:00
    * New app icon, the "Black Orange" (sorry, no better idea).
    + New tweak to load app icon from a stand-alone icon file:
        IconFile=[Filename]
      [Filename] supports full paths, relative (to app path) and 
      portable paths. If [Filename] is empty or points to a non-existing 
      or invalid icon resource, then the internal default icon is used.
      Note that the icon file should at least contain a 32x32 and a 
      16x16 pixels icon, preferably in 32-bit (but 8-bit will work as 
      well).
    - Removed tweak IconResource.
    ! Tree: Could not drag-move a folder "C:\A" into a folder "C:\AB" 
      because they were wrongly seen as having the same name although A 
      was only the left part of AB. Fixed.
    ! Tree, List: Inline-renaming triggered by clicking the parent 
      control would generate two consecutive error messages if the new 
      name was illegal. Fixed.

    + XYcopy (Background Processing): Now also Delete operations are 
      processed in the background if Background Processing is enabled. 
      However, contrary to Copy and Move, Delete operations are never 
      queued regardless of the setting of "Queue file operations", 
      because Delete is usually fast and you rather expect immediate 
      action when you delete something.    
    * New app icon, the "plectrum". The old white-on-orange icon is 
      still available via a tweak:
        IconResource=0  //green plectrum (factory default and EXE icon)
        IconResource=1  //orange plectrum
        IconResource=2  //old orange "XY" icon
    ! Rename Special | Aaa Aa.*: A file named "can't rename.png" would 
      convert to title case as "Can'T Rename.png". Fixed. Now an 
      apostrophe is not taken as word separator anymore.
    ! All Free Shortcuts dialog: Crash depending on your locale when 
      pressing the "[" key with or without modifiers. Fixed.
    ! Tree and List: With certain East Asian character systems there was 
      problem with typing into the inline rename boxes. Should be fixed 
      now.

    + Tweak to load alternative app icon.
        IconResource=1
      Set to 1 (resp. anything but 0) to use an embedded alternative app 
      icon. The alternative app icon will be used on the main window and 
      all child windows, on the taskbar, and the system tray. It will 
      not affect the icon of the XYplorer.exe file itself, of course, 
      because for this you would have to change the file.
    ! About box still had the XY8 watermark. Upgraded to XY9.

v9.00.0000 - 2010-03-26 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ Background Processing. Now you can continue working in XYplorer 
      while heavy copy jobs are processed in the background.
  +++ Queued File Operations. Background file operations can optionally 
      be processed sequentially (in a queue), which is often far more 
      efficient than processing them in parallel.
  +++ Remove Diacritics. A special rename command to strip any 
      diacritical marks from the letters in all selected item names, 
      e.g. "Köln" > "Koln".
  +++ Raw View. Now UTF-16BE (Big Endian) files are supported when they 
      have the UTF-16BE BOM.
  +++ Visual Filters. Now you can define a caption to each filter item 
      and thus give complex filters a friendly name.

    + Visual Filters: Now you can prepend a caption to each filter item. 
      The syntax is similar to the one you know from Favorites or the 
      POM, only that the quoted caption must be followed by a space 
      character to avoid ambiguities.
      For example:
        "Images" *.gif|*.png|*.jpg
        "Items ending with g" >g$
      The tab captions will show only the (unquoted) caption of a VF 
      with caption.
    * Rename Preview: Now on showing the preview the window is initially 
      auto-sized to the optimal (=minimal) width.
    % Cleaner and faster startup due to removed unnecessary painting.
    ! XYcopy: Vanished from the taskbar in v8.90.0012. Returned.
