v10.80.0107 - 2012-02-02 19:58
    + SC property enhanced: Now some XYplorer-specific named arguments 
      are supported. They all have to be preceded by # to distinguish 
      them from Windows shell properties. They are not case-sensitive.
        #LinkTarget     = Shortcut Target
        #ShortcutTarget = Shortcut Target (same as #LinkTarget)
        #JunctionTarget = Junction Target
        #Label          = Label
        #Tags           = Tags
        #Comment        = Comment
      If the property is not applicable to the file in question then 
      nothing ("") is returned.
      Examples:  
        text property("#label");  //defaults to current list item
        text property("#linktarget", "E:\Test\funstuff\Icons.lnk");

    ! Visual Filters: On toggling sometimes specific icons were not

v10.80.0105 - 2012-02-01 21:46
    + Color Filters: Added "dir:" as new selector for directory name 
      filters. These are name-based filters that are applied to folders 
      in Tree and List.
      Example:
        dir:v*    = color all folders named v*
      Note: The option "Apply all checked "dir:" and "attr:" patterns to 
      the Tree" has to be ticked to take effect on the Tree.
    * Configuration | Color Filters: Slightly reordered and reworded.
    + Configuration | Startup & Exit: Added dropdown "Startup window 
      state". Allows you to always start with a certain window state, or 
      with the last window state (factory default).
    - Configuration | Startup & Exit: Removed option "Startup 
      minimized". Has been replaced by dropdown "Startup window state".

    ! Tree: The commands in the Mark submenu of the folder context menu 
      were not applied on any right-clicked folders but always on the 
      current folder. Bug is about a year old. Fixed.
    ! SC renameitem: Did not work as expected for folders when their 
      names had dots in them. Fixed.
      This will now work  as expected irrespective of any dots in the 
      folder or file name:
        text renameitem("CHANGED-- *", <curitem>);
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0075.

    + Variable <get [Command ID] [ReturnOnTrue = 1] [ReturnOnFalse = 0]> 
      now also supports the following Command IDs:
        #333 = Sort Folders Apart
        #480 = Auto-Refresh
        #488 = Lock Tree 
        #489 = Mini Tree
        #491 = Show Floppy Drives
        #492 = Show Hidden Drives
        #493 = Show Hidden Files and Folders 
        #494 = Show System Files and Folders  
        #495 = Show Junctions 
        #496 = Show Folders in List
      Example:
        echo get("#489", "Mini Tree", "Maxi Tree");
    * Changed some of the the factory default thumbnail sizes. Monitors 
      and drives are bigger nowadays. Now it's:
        Thumbnails #1:  96 x  72
        Thumbnails #2: 128 x 128  (before:  96 x 96)
        Thumbnails #3: 180 x 180  (before: 128 x 96)
    - Removed this experiment from v10.60.0112 - 2011-12-01 21:00, 
      unless the files are image files:
      * Thumbnails: Experimentally added status feedback for all thumbs 
        that are about to be freshly created (that are not found in any 
        cache). This will cost a little time but I think it's worth it.
      Reason: Too time consuming on larger folders, and also irritating.

    ! Preview: Non-previewed formats (either excluded from preview by 
      user, or not previewable) were not handled correctly anymore, and 
      the tweaks PreviewShellIfNoneBetter and PreviewRawIfNoneBetter 
      also stopped functioning. All this since 20120102. Now it's fixed.
    ! Placement of some dialogs wrong (since v10.80.0013) on dual 
      monitor setups on some systems. Fixed #2.

    % Configuration | Thumbnails | Show dimensions of original image on 
      thumbnail: Now the dimensions are shown on a semi-transparent 
      background positioned in the lower right corner of the thumbnail.
    ! Image drop from the web: Would not auto-rename on collisions and 
      thus possibly cause unprompted overwrites. Fixed.
    ! Tabsets: All Save / Save As / Save Copy As operations only worked 
      when "Configuration | Startup & Exit | Remember most-recently-used 
      lists | Apply To | Tabs" was ticked. Fixed: Now the saving works 
      independently of this setting.

v10.80.0018 - 2012-01-28 11:52
    + SC tab enhanced: New operation "lockhomezone", analog to "Lock 
      Home Zone" in menu View | Tab.
      The "data" parameter, if missing, toggles the status, whereas 0 
      unlocks and 1 locks. The "index" parameter can be used to define 
      the tab to lock to home zone (leftmost tab = 1).
      Examples:
        //toggles the Lock Home Zone status of the current tab
        tab("lockhomezone");
        //sets the Lock Home Zone status of the current tab ON
        tab("lockhomezone", 1);
        //toggles the Lock Home Zone status of the second tab
        tab("lockhomezone", , 2); 
        //sets the Lock Home Zone status of the second tab ON;   
        tab("lockhomezone", 1, 2);    
      If a tab has no home you get an error message.
    * Updated the help file.

v10.80.0014 - 2012-01-26 12:43
    * List: Now, when temporary folder sizes are displayed (triggered by 
      menu View | Calculate Folder Sizes) then a Refresh List (or Auto-
      Refresh event) will also refresh the folder sizes. Before, they 
      would have vanished.
    ! Placement of some dialogs wrong (since v10.80.0013) on dual 
      monitor setups. Fixed.
    ! Due to a sensational bug in the FindFirstFile API which failed to 
      filter out items with extensions longer than 3 characters (the bug 
      is present even in Win7!), some routines had to be rewritten to 
      work around this bug. Done.
    ! SC listfolder: The above fix also fixes the issue here.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0074.

v10.80.0013 - 2012-01-25 14:48
    % Better placement of captions in tabs depending on font size and 
      display settings. Also on non-standard DPI settings under Win7 the 
      tab height has been somewhat reduced.
    % Better placement of dialogs: Now it is ensured that no parts are 
      outside the monitor when a dialog is popped up centered over the 
      main form.
    * Network: Now you can browse network locations even when Mini Tree 
      is OFF and "Configuration | General | Show Network folder" is OFF.
      The Tree is then bypassed (and displayed greyed, see below) and 
      only the list is used to browse the location.
    * Tree: Now, a Tree bypassed by browsing (i.e. the browsed location 
      is not shown let alone selected in the Tree) is displayed with a 
      grey background, resp. with the color you have defined for Locked 
      Trees.
      Reason: This makes it immediately clear that Tree and List are not 
      synched and protects you from false assumptions and potentially 
      fatal decisions.
      Note: The Locked Tree color make sense here since being out of 
      sync with the list is a core property of the Locked Tree. Also 
      there will be no conflict or loss of information when your Tree IS 
      already locked because again, as a Locked Tree user you live with 
      an out-of-sync Tree by choice.
    ! Network: On a maxi tree the network special folder was not always 
      filled under certain conditions. Fixed.
    * Scripting | HereDoc: Now the radical parsing (ending identifier 
      can be anywhere) is enabled when the identifier starts with a "#".
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        $isOk = Confirm (<<<#FOO
        Blah
        BlahFOO#FOO); echo $isOk;
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
      Otherwise the old-school parsing is enabled (ending identifier 
      must be on own line): 
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        $isOk = Confirm (<<<FOO
        Blah
        BlahFOO
        FOO
          ); echo $isOk;
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
    - Scripting | HereDoc: Tweak ScriptHereDocEndsAnywhere has been 
      removed.
    ! Scripting | HereDoc: The last line feed was lost on the following 
      construct:
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        $isOk = Confirm (<<<#FOO
        Blah
        Blah#FOO); echo $isOk;
        ---------------------------------------------------------------

v10.80.0011 - 2012-01-24 15:10
  *** Tabs: Now also the tab headers share the main font and font size 
      (as defined in Configuration | Fonts | Main Contents). Another 
      milestone in accessibility.
      FYI, the font size can be quickly adjusted by Ctrl+Wheel.       
    * Configuration | Fonts: Renamed "Tree and List" to "Main Contents", 
      and "General" to "Buttons and Labels", and swapped their position.
    * Find Tabs: Drag and drop to find tabs is now allowed. If the load 
      is not directly dropped onto a listed folder it is dropped to the 
      original search path.
    * Scripting | HereDoc: Now the closing identifier can be anywhere, 
      its position is unimportant and does not have to start on a new 
      line or constitute a separate line.
      For example:
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        echo <<<FOO
        Blah!
        BlahFOO . "!";  //Blah!Blah!
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
    + Scripting | HereDoc: Since the new rules regarding the closing 
      identifier would break old user code, a tweak has been added to 
      enable the new behavior:
        ScriptHereDocEndsAnywhere=1

v10.80.0010 - 2012-01-23 17:50
    + Scripting: Now $i++/$i-- returns the incremented/decremented value 
      and thus can be used as an argument in functions. The value is 
      incremented/decremented *before* it is passed to the function.
      Example 1:
        $list = "a,b,c";
          $i = 0;
          while ($i < 3) {
            echo gettoken($list, $i++, ",");  //"a", "b", "c"
          }
      Example 2:
        echo $i++; echo $i++; echo $i++;  //"1", "2", "3"
      Example 3:
        echo $i++ . $i++ . $i++;  //"123"
    * Scripting: Experimentally made the HereDoc syntax a bit more 
      tolerant.
      BEFORE: The closing identifier must begin in the *first* column of 
      the line (no indent!). The line with the closing identifier must 
      contain no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;) 
      directly after the identifier.
      NOW: The closing identifier can be preceded by any number of 
      spaces (i.e. indented) and be followed by any number and kind of 
      other characters.
      
      Example:
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        $isOk = Confirm (<<<FOO
        Blah
        Blah
        Blah
          FOO); echo $isOk;
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
    * Configuration | Extended: Renamed "Single click on icon opens 
      items in list" to "Single click on icon opens list items". It's 
      less ambiguous.

v10.80.0009 - 2012-01-23 12:47
    + Configuration | Extended: Added option "Confirm copy and move 
      operations". Tick it to get a confirmation prompt before any move, 
      copy, or backup operation, be it from clipboard, drag and drop, or 
      other means.
      This setting includes and supersedes "Confirm drag and drop" whose 
      setting is ignored when "Confirm copy and move operations" is 
      ticked. If both are ticked then the "Drop Now?" prompt takes over 
      in case of a left mouse drop, and no further prompt is invoked.
    * Configuration | Extended: New section "Safety Belts", along with a 
      little reorganization.
    * SC incr: Now the current value of the variable to be incremented 
      variable is shown directly in the Step Mode dialog.
    ! Title Bar template parsing got a little hickup when it contained 
      weird things like "<>". Fixed.
    ! Some Tags related dialogs and the Shell Wait dialog were too 
      narrow on non-standard display settings. Fixed.
