v19.20.0002 - 2018-09-26 14:34
    * Preview Tab, Preview Pane, Floating Preview: Now when an Office file 
      cannot be previewed by any associated preview handler, a fallback to any 
      associated IFilter is attempted to show at least the extracted text.
    * Hover Box: PDFs are by default shown as a thumbnail-like preview of the 
      first page. Now you can alternatively get a preview of the extracted text 
      (which is usually faster). To do so add "pdf" to "Previewed Formats / Text 
      Files".
    * Tabs: With "Match selected tab with breadcrumb bar" enabled any Visual 
      Filter shown in the tab header is now dimmed down a bit for better 
      distinction from the caption.
    ! Floating Preview: Improved browsing through files by KeyUp/KeyDown. Does 
      not get stuck anymore at certain file types.
    ! Toolbar: Hover effect colors were slightly off on Windows Theme Style 
      buttons. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category | User-Defined 
      Preview Handlers: Could not permanently tick off items in that list. 
      Internally they would be off, but the tick would be shown anyway. Fixed.

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.

  +++ Mouse Up Show Down: Now it's available also in the folder tree! Like in 
      the List it works on mouse up on the folder icons. Lets you quickly peek 
      into folders without leaving the current location. Lets you even list and 
      open files right from the tree.
      Notes:
      - Turn it on here: Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up 
        on Folder Icons | In tree
      - One node is not supported at the moment: Recycle Bin.
    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons: 
      Added option "In list". Tick it to enable the Folder Contents Preview in 
      the List.
    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons: 
      Added option "In tree". Tick it to enable the Folder Contents Preview in 
      the Tree.
    * Mouse Up Show Down: Now you can quickly open and close a popup by a 
      Double-Click. Before, that Double-Click would have been promoted to the 
      parent control.

v19.20.0004 - 2018-09-28 11:30
    + Command Line Switches: Now you can "pipe" a value instead of quoting it. 
      This can be useful when unpredictable quotes make predictable parsing 
      impossible, or simply to make a string more readable:
      For example, this is the same Command Line Switch, first quoted then 
      piped:
        /feed="::text '"R:\a b c"';"
        /feed=|::text '"R:\a b c"';|
      Of course, you must be sure that no pipes can come up inside the value.
    + Mouse Up Show Down: Now you can use the middle-click on menu items to
      - Open Folders in a New Tab   (Shift+Click)
      - Go To Files in a New Tab    (Ctrl+Shift+Click)
      Works in Tree and List, and (folders only) in Breadcrumb.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down in Tree: Would not always put the selection back to the 
      current node after closing the MUSD menu. Fixed.

v19.20.0005 - 2018-10-01 15:15
  +++ Hover Box: Now you can get a Folder Contents Preview in the Hover Box. It 
      lists the top 20 items of the hovered folder.
      - Toggle it here: Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show 
        Hover Box | Apply to... | Folders
      - Items are sorted by name ascending, folders on top.
      - Of each item you see the icon (CFI honored) and the name.      
      - In the bottom area of the Hover Box you get the folder name and basic 
        stats (item count, folder count, file count, total bytes of files).
      - Of course, the stats are not recursive but just for the level of that 
        folder, i.e. what you'd see in the status bar if you went down into the 
        folder.
      - Shortcuts (LNK) to folders are resolved and you get the preview of the 
        target folder.
    * Mouse Up Show Down: From now on it *does* honor the general visibility 
      settings that also control the file list. So, when an item is hidden from 
      the list then it's also hidden from the Folder Contents Preview.
      In the unlikely case that all items are hidden, you won't see "Folder is 
      empty." but "[n] items are hidden."
    * Mouse Up Show Down: If there is a message (e.g. "Folder is empty.") 
      instead of a contents list the message is now colored for better 
      distinction. Blue = info, Brown = all hidden, Red = error/warning.
      As before, clicking the message will take you into the 
      clicked folder (if you are allowed to go there).
    * Mouse Up Show Down: The "Empty" message is now "Folder is empty." instead 
      of "[Empty]".
    * Hover Box: "File is empty" message is now in blue. Before it was in red.
    ! List: Drawing glitches in lists with information bar (best visible with 
      dark list backgrounds):
      - Horizontal line in list background color ran through all column headers.
      - Vertical gridlines also crossed the column headers.
      Since v18.50.0010 - 2017-10-13 14:29. All fixed.

v19.20.0006 - 2018-10-02 19:11
  +++ Hover Box Over Tree: Now you can get the Folder Contents Preview in the 
      Hover Box also over the Tree. Yep!
    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box | Apply 
      to...: Renamed the button to "Select Item Types...".
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box: Added 
      button "Select Controls...". Here you can select the controls the Hover 
      Box shall be shown for. Currently available:
        - List
        - Tree
      By factory default and for upgraders both are checked.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down and Hover Box for Folders: Did not work well on 
      junctions and in the Links special folder. Fixed.

    ! Hover Box On Folders: Was not honored by thorough obfuscation. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box On Folders: Various drawing glitches on non-100% screen 
      resolutions. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box On Folders: Some icons of network folders were not correctly 
      shown. Fixed.
    ! XYplorer native icons: Slightly off position in various controls on 
      non-100% screen resolutions. Fixed.
    ! System icons in Tree and List: System icons that should have been drawn 
      ghosted were actually drawn dimmed on non-100% screen resolutions. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar: When adding a new button the CTB label size was adjusted only 
      after restart on non-100% screen resolutions. Fixed.

v19.20.0012 - 2018-10-04 14:51
    * Hover Box On Folders: Slightly different logic: Now you get 20 items plus 
      the three dots if there are more than 20 items. Before, it was 19 + dots.
    ! Tools | Customize Tree | Full Row Select: HBOF and MUSD did not work. 
      Fixed.
    ! Tools | Customize Tree | Rename On Slow Double-Click: Could not close the 
      box by re-clicking the same row. Fixed. Now Slow Double-Click only works 
      on the caption.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down: Would not work in drives listing in Tiles and 
      Thumbnail views. Fixed. Now it works on the icons.

v19.20.0014 - 2018-10-05 19:06
    * Hover Box On Folders: Redesigned. Margin is now thin, and instead of the 
      three dots you get an arrow at the bottom right showing that there's more. 
      Additionally there is a pixel-dotted line (adding a touch of fuzziness to 
      the lower margin like "this is not the end"), a line that strangely 
      reminds of long gone Apple Macintosh on Atari ST days. Deliberately retro 
      if you permit.
      FYI, scrolling the box is planned for a later version.
    ! List: PageUp/PageDown did one line less than it should. Fixed. How could 
      this survive so many years?
    ! Recycle Bin: The Recycle Bin icon did not update to "full" or "empty" when 
      it should. Fixed.

    * Hover Box: Now also the text preview has the thin margin. The thick margin 
      only remains where it originally was meant for: Images.
    * Hover Box: Now also the text preview has the arrow instead of the "... 
      [continues]".

    + Hover Box: Added a tweak to have a Polaroid-like white background and a 
      wider frame for images:
        HoverBoxPola=1
      An hommage to Polaroid.

      grey and white while the Hover Box is visible: Simply press key B. (Same 
      shortcut as in Floating Preview for changing the background color.)
      This raises the HoverBoxPola tweak to the UI.
    + Added tweak to suppress auto-scaling:
        NoAutoScaling=1

v19.20.0018 - 2018-10-09 14:30
    + Status Bar: Now you get a warning when a file or folder with an invalid 
      filename (invalid in the Windows shell, not in NTFS) is selected in the 
      list. If the filename has leading or trailing space that are made visible 
      by a replacement character.
    + Color Filters: Now you can define patterns with flanking spaces. Simply 
      quote the whole pattern. For example, this will match all filenames ending 
      with a space:
        name:"* "
      Same for files and folders:
        name:"* ";dir:"* "
      Color all Windows-invalid item names (ending in space or dot):
        name:"* ";name:*.;dir:"* ";dir:*.
      Note that quoted patterns have to start with "name:" or "dir:" to avoid a 
      parsing ambiguity with pattern captions (which are also quoted). 
      Alternatively you can supply a caption:
        "Invalid Names" "* ";*.;dir:"* ";dir:*.
    * Hover Box: In a multi-screen environment the whole HoverBox now stays on 
      the screen where the XYplorer window is. Before it would sometimes step 
      over the other screen.
    * Raw View: Now the tweak MaxBytesTextPreview also limits the number of 
      bytes previewed of a text file in the Raw View tab when Hex View is off. 
      E.g.:
        MaxBytesTextPreview=1000000
      If set to 0 the value defaults to 5242880 (=5MB).
      In previous versions the hard default for this was 10 MB.
    + List: Now Shift+Wheel does horizontal scrolling (if possible).

    * Tree: Now Shift+Wheel does horizontal scrolling (if possible). Before, 
      Shift+Wheel changed the tree node indent.
    * Tree: To change the tree node indent you now can use Shift+Alt+Wheel. 
      Before, it was Shift+Wheel.
    ! List | Full Row Select mode: With "XYplorer Classic Style" selections, the 
      wrong text color was used on selected captions under certain conditions. 
      Fixed.

    + SC inputselect enhanced: Now you can hide the filter box, just pass bit 
      8192.
      Syntax: inputselect(header, listdata, [separator="|"], [style=1], _
                  [cancel], [width=800], [height=400], [windowcaption], [preselect])
        style: 
         8192 = Hide filter box.

        text inputselect("Test", listfolder(), , 1); //show filter box
        text inputselect("Test", listfolder(), , 1 + 8192); //hide filter box
      Remarks:
        - Before, showing the filter box had been hard-coded to YES.
        - When the filter is hidden you can resize the window to a smaller width.
    ! List: The "Scroll margin" was honored when opening the inline-rename box 
      on an item. It shouldn't be like this. Fixed.
    ! List: Drawing glitch (the top item of the list is shortly selected) when 
      going up and "Select last used subfolder" is enabled. Fixed.
