v22.60.0201 - 2021-12-27 13:34
    * File | Rename Special | Batch Rename...: The recent change from 
      v22.60.0101 - 2021-12-18 16:43 resulted in redundant increment suffixes, 
      e.g. when renaming items with different extensions. Improved.
    ! Multi-Monitor Setup: The current monitor was not always detected correctly 
      right after start-up. Fixed.
    ! Folder Thumbnails: Since the recent changes in thumbnails creation they 
      got a black background when the FolderThumbsShell tweak was set to 1. 
      Fixed.
:info: To update to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. To download it, choose a 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.

    ! Highlight Matches (TAF and LFB): Did not work correctly with RTL 
      (Right-To-Left) languages (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew). Semi-fixed: The 
      position of the hightlighted parts is now correctly determined but since 
      the width of the letters depends on the context the position of the 
      highlight can still be off by some pixels. That will be fixed later.
      This fix made it necessary to print the text *after* the highlighting 
      was painted, with the side effect that for selected items the 
      highlighting is only drawn as a thick underline and does not cover the 
      full height of the letter.

    ! Panes | Move Tab to Other Pane: Visual glitch on the current tab bar (tab 
      bar not fully reflecting the new state) after moving a tab to an invisible 
      other pane and toggling back to this pane. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | Switch panes: When 
      switching panes in single pane mode the CEA script was triggered too early 
      (before the new pane was actually visible and focused). Fixed.

    ! Highlight Matches (TAF and LFB): The last fix did not work in Dark Mode 
      (highlights were not readable anymore). Tried a new one. BTW, the 
      highlighting is now back to full letter height even in selected items.

    * Highlight Matches in RTL languages: Even if it's not yet perfect, the 
      special support for highlighting matches in RTL languages takes (a little) 
      time. So I made it optional (the special support, not the highlighting) 
      through this tweak:
        RTLHighlightSupport=1
      Currently it's on by default (also for upgraders), and later I will raise 
      it to UI. If maximum speed is your main concern and you never highlight 
      matches in RTL languages you should turn if off to save some nanoseconds.
    ! Highlight Matches (TAF and LFB): Fixed another problem with highlighting 
      Arabic matches.
    ! Highlight Matches (TAF and LFB): Fixed some problems with Hebrew.

v22.60.0207 - 2022-01-01 18:58
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability: Added 
      option "Show verbatim tooltips". Tick it to show what the mouse is 
      pointing at in a tooltip. This option is aimed directly at screen readers 
      that are reading tooltips aloud.
      It's a radical setting that overwrites all other settings relating to 
      mouse pointing in Tree, List, and Toolbar. If it is enabled, for example, 
      no more Hover Box is displayed.
      This is shown in the tooltips for the supported controls:
      - In the file list, the contents of the hovered cell are shown, prefixed by 
        the column name (unless it is the Name column).
        There are also tooltips for hovered column headers.
      - In the folder tree, the folder name is shown when the caption is hovered, 
        the full path is shown when the icon is hovered.
      - In the toolbar, the button name is shown. When moving between buttons, 
        the tooltip is reset so the next one is read again.
      - In the breadcrumb bars, a tip is shown for each hovered path component.

    * Tabs: If the tooltip is the same for the icon and the caption, it will no 
      longer be redrawn in a new position when the mouse is moved between the 
      icon and the caption.
    ! Highlight Matches (TAF and LFB): Fixed more problems with RTL languages.

    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability | Show 
      verbatim tooltips: Now (if ticked) keyboard selection in Tree and List 
      will pop a tooltip at the mouse if the mouse is over the control area.
    + Added a tweak that allows you to zoom up the tooltips in the main window. 
      Coding for screen reader support put me in an accessibility flow. This 
      tweak can turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass. Example:
        TooltipZoom=1.5
      Allowed values are 1 through 4. Fractions are okay.

    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability: Added 
      "Tooltip zoom (%)". Enter a percentage (100 - 400) that will be applied to 
      most tooltips (not the small ones e.g. on labels in Configuration). Can 
      turn a tooltip into a kind of magnifying glass.
      Raises tweak TooltipZoom to UI.

    * Highlight Matches (TAF and LFB): Alphablend is now used when highlighting 
      Arabic matches to mitigate the effects of incorrect measurements caused by 
      contextually variable letter widths. This is not necessary for Hebrew.      
    ! Environment: The app could not cope well with a situation where no fixed 
      drives are found at all (possible when run on a server with restricted 
      user rights). Fixed.

    + Custom Columns: Added variable <cc_isselected>. Returns the selected state of 
      the item: "1" = selected, "0" = not selected.
      - It only works if Trigger is set to "List" (in Configure Custom Column).
      - The column is not auto-updated just by changing selections, it needs a 
        column refresh or list refresh to get in sync.
    + Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Backup settings 
      on save: Now ks.dat (keyboard shortcuts) and server.dat (cached servers) 
      are also backed up.
    ! SC sync: A "filter" argument with more than one component did not match 
      anything and was hence completely ignored. For example:
        [...] 7:="-appdata\Thumbnails\"
      Fixed. Now this will match all branches "*appdata\Thumbnails\*".

v22.60.0214 - 2022-01-05 14:43
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced. Added field "Transparency" to the "settings" argument:
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding,Transparency"], [separator=","])
        settings:
          Transparency: 0 = neutral, 1 = grid, 2 = white, 3 = black
                        ! = toggle 0/1
      Remarks:
        - Corresponds to Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Transparency.
        - All thumbnails in the current pane are re-created right away if this 
          setting is changed.
      Examples:
        thumbsconf(",,,,0"); //set neutral background
        thumbsconf(",,,,1"); //set transparency grid
        thumbsconf(",,,,!"); //toggle neutral background / transparency grid
    ! Hover Box: While the Hover Box was showing a key combo like Ctrl+P (for 
      "copy path") was eaten by the box (doing "show photo data disabled / 
      enabled"). Fixed. Those special Hover Box keys now only work without any 
      modifier key pressed.

v22.60.0215 - 2022-01-06 13:07
    + Admin Settings: Added an alternative way to enable the Read-Only Mode:
        eAP_ReadOnlyMode = 8192
      This allows an administrator to directly enforce read-only mode (without 
      using the / readonly switch).
      In the "Admin.ini" file (located where "XYplorer.exe" is) add the following:
        [Settings]
        Profile=8192
    * Read-Only Mode (command line switch /readonly): It was not 100% tight. At 
      startup some app data folders were created and a file (tag.dat), and using 
      Find Files lead to the creation of files like "<xydata>\Panes\1\tab_3.ini".
      Now none of this happens anymore.
    ! Hi-Res: In some dialogs the main headings were drawn in the wrong 
      position. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0185.
