    ! Edit | Compare: Comparing files larger than 20 GB failed with overflow. 
      Fixed.
    ! Mouse Down Blow Up on Icons: Possible crash when doing it after showing thumbnails 
      with "Align to bottom" enabled. Fixed. Looks like another Maintenance Release...

    * Portable Devices: Support turned ON again.
    * Something has been added internally that will serve to support the "new" 
      (ahem) file operation interface that's available in Windows since some 
      Vista service pack. You won't see anything yet but feel it: it's there 
      now... It will come of use with Portable Devices, but not only there.

    + Portable Devices: Now you can inline-rename files and folders in the list, 
      and undo/redo the action.
    + Address Bar: The right-click menu of the icon now offers the additional 
      command "Copy Real Path" if the displayed path is a special path, e.g. 
      "Desktop\Test". Click it to copy the string 
      "C:\Users\<your user name>\Desktop\Test" to the clipboard.
      On hovering the menu items the Status Bar now shows the strings to be 
      copied.
    + Address Bar: When it contains a folder the right-click menu of the icon now 
      offers the additional commands "Copy Item", "Copy Path", and "Shell 
      Context Menu...". The latter will pop the Shell Context Menu as if the 
      file was right-clicked in the folder tree.

    + Portable Devices: Now you can copy and move files and folders from the 
      device to your PC and back using drag and drop, and undo/redo the action.
      Note: The first operation to or from a newly mounted device can take up to 
      30 sec before it actually starts -- currently I'm not sure what's causing 
      this. Windows seems to think really deep about what to do next.
      
      *** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
      - This is in an experimental state! Don't try on files that are important 
        to you.
      - Undo/Redo is not yet reliably working for all cases.
          
    + Portable Devices: Now you can delete files from the device. Undo is NOT 
      possible here.
    > Tip: SC property supports Windows canonical properties as listed here:
      http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd561977%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
      For example, select an image file and run this through the Address Bar:
        echo property('System.Image.HorizontalSize') . 'x' . property('System.Image.VerticalSize');
    ! File Info Tips: Wrong custom tips on items in %user% folder. Fixed.

    + New Items on UAC: Finally you can create a new folder or a new file in UAC 
      protected locations in a non-elevated instance of XYplorer. You'll get the 
      usual elevation prompt.
      These are the locations we are talking about:
        %HOMEDRIVE%
        %ALLUSERSPROFILE%*
        %ProgramFiles%*
        %ProgramFiles(x86)%*
        %WinDir%*      
    + Portable Devices: Now you can delete filled folders from a device. 
      NOTE: Undo is NOT possible here (no recycle bin).
    + Portable Devices: Now you can create new files and folders on a device. 
      Also the New Items menu works.

    + Configuration | Thumbnails: Added option "Show film strip overlay on video 
      thumbnails". Tick it to show video thumbnails with dark edges and sprocket 
      holes.
      Had been hard-coded to ON before.
    * Folder Thumbnails: Now the Windows folder setting "Properties / Customize 
      / Folder pictures" is honored. The desired file for the folder thumbnail is 
      read from desktop.ini if it is found within the folder. This available 
      from Windows XP onwards.
    * Tiles Views: Now the icons from non-thumbnailed files are shown as big as 
      possible. Before they were limited to 48x48.

v14.80.0213 - 2015-01-26 12:55
    + Portable Devices: Now you can copy/cut and paste items via clipboard from 
      and to Portable Devices.
      Notes:
      - Copy/cut from PD to anywhere cannot be undone.
      - The refresh of the source list (cut) is not reliable. Do it manually.
    ! Overlong Paths: The logic has been one off. Overlong paths are all paths 
      longer than 259 characters (NOT longer than 260 characters)!
      Note further: The relevant character count includes any trailing backslash 
      (necessary for folder paths in some API contexts), but the "Len" column in 
      the file list always displays the length without any trailing backslash. 
      So a folder shown with a length of "259" might already be overlong in some 
      contexts since the backslash is yet to be added.
    ! Icons: A certain type of 256x256 icon resources was not yet supported. 
      Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0063.

    * Drag and Drop: Attempt to get better results with certain drop targets.
    * Custom Copy: Now it is checked whether the target path is a mount point. 
      In that case any free space testing is performed on the mount point 
      target.
    * Custom Copy: Added error trapping for the unlikely case that preserving 
      the item dates fails for some reason. There should be an error message in 
      the copy report now that tells more about the problem.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0064.

v14.80.0215 - 2015-01-27 17:03
    * Panes | Sync Select...: Now when comparing file dates the non-localized 
      universal file times are compared. Before, the times had been localized 
      and then compared which could lead to false results for files on differing 
      file systems.
    * Fresh Configuration: Fresh mode (originally introduced v12.40.0212 - 
      2013-05-27 12:50) now sets the App Data Path to subfolder "Fresh" of the 
      normal App Data Path. This way it's impossible that any of your everyday 
      settings are inadvertedly overwritten by the fresh instance.

v14.80.0217 - 2015-01-28 14:42
    + Timestamp Tolerance: Because of the difference in timestamp precision 
      between NTFS (used by XP and later) and FAT32 (used on many USB drives and 
      Windows 95, 98, ME, 2K) of up to 2 seconds, XYplorer now tolerates a 
      difference of 2 seconds when comparing timestamps.
      Note that the tolerance is also in effect when comparing files on NTFS 
      systems only, since by copying back and forth between NTFS and FAT32 the 
      imprecision can be propagated to NTFS.
      This change affects Sync Select and Custom Copy / Backup operations where 
      overwriting is based on timestamp comparison. Where it makes a change it 
      should lead to a notable reduction of superfluous overwrite operations.
      The value can be tweaked:
        TimestampToleranceSecs=2
    ! Filetimes: DST (daylight saving time) was not honored as expected.
      For example, the created time of a file that had been created at 18:00 in 
      summer (when DST was in effect), was shown in winter (when DST was not in 
      effect) as being created at 17:00. While 17:00 is the astronomically (more 
      or less) correct time it is Windows standard (and also user-friendlier) to 
      show the fake time that was valid in the moment the file was created (DST 
      in effect).
      XYplorer now handles this just like Windows Explorer.
      XP and later only.
    ! Custom Copy: Handling mount points did not work yet for subfolders of 
      mount points. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0065.
