The latest version at the moment is 18.60.0000, and I'm running it.

help > online > check for updates says, "You are running the latest official version 18.60.0000".
CTRL+help > online > check for updates * says, "You are running the latest beta version 18.60.0000".
But this is not a beta! The message should say something like,
"You are running the latest official version 18.60.0000.
There are no newer beta versions available."

If you are interested I just noticed a missing letter on the website, it's in the first bullet point item on this page,

https://www.xyplorer.com/release_16.40.php
Show Preview Pane (Ctrl+F11), or us the "Preview Pane" toolbar button.
I assume it should be "use" not "us"

PS. Just discovered that extreme thumbnail gallery view described on the v16.30 page, I'm a fan :tup:

If you are interested, I just noticed on page 303 of the PDF section 4.20.3
(handy if you want to select can copy particular metadata)
and on page 278
With normal Color Filters your are often bothered with colors all over that are rather distracting than helpful.
both don't seem to read quite right.

If you are interested, on page 387 of the PDF help section 4.33 it says
Creates auto-serial-numbererd duplicates of the dragged file(s). Examples:
I think that is possibly meant to be "numbered", also on page 343 (and in the index on page 691) it has,
Padd blanks
maybe it is meant to be "Pad blanks" ?

Just happened to see:
In Help, Scripting Commands Reference, in the list of commands, "readurlUTF8()" is not mentioned,
while it's well described behind readurl().

(So first I thought it would be missing completely :roll: )

If you are interested on page 208 of the PDF it has:
Limit the search depth the search depth to n. levels
I think "the search" is repeated twice, and also on page 37
Automatically save the all settings when closing the application
I think that maybe "the all" should be "all the" or something similar.

Also just wanted to double check you didn't miss my previous post, viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5471&start=195#p155213

If you are interested, on page 341 of the PDF section 4.20.8 about ½ way down under the Report Tab heading:
Listbeing
is missing a space, this next one I am not 100% sure but just listing in case you agree, on page 86 under Show Icons heading:
If turned it off iconized tabs will still show the icons
seems like it maybe could be "If turned off...". On page 598 bullet point 2 it has:
(no just a subset of selected ones)
is maybe meant to be "(not just..." also on the same page 598 bullet point 5:
harddisk
possibly "hard disk" ? and I realize it's not a typo but on pages 593-4 in the SC report() section, three of the opening curly brackets are in the non matching font size. (3rd item affected is not in screenshot, {Size} )

If you are interested, on page 38 of the v18.80 PDF
Check it if you don't want share history
Maybe meant to be "...don't want to share...". On page 65:
The icon of that toolbar button turns green when and external copy handler
Maybe meant to be "..turns green when an external...". On page 107 under Tabbed Info Panel heading:
Shift+MouseWheel Change the global splitter width.
Dbl-Click on Splitter Toggle Info Panel min/max size.
If that information still correct? On page 272:
If any of them is disabled
Maybe is meant to be "If any of them are disabled" On page 112:
That way you can start in XYplorer
Could maybe be "...start XYplorer". And on page 282:
rather distracting than helpful.
is maybe meant to be "distracting rather than helpful". And on page 194:
Rather loaded the layout is adjusted
is maybe meant to be "Rather the loaded layout is adjusted". Also on page 257 under the Drawing Bars heading:
If Borderwidth is > 0 then the circle is not filled but outlined
maybe because this is under the drawing bars heading it should read "...the bar is not filled". Also the tooltip of this item:

Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Synchronize tree with search location

has "synch" displayed, this is possibly meant to be "sync"
