+ Dbl-click on empty space in list: now, holding CTRL while dbl-
clicking will move the focused item to the top of the view
port, *independent* of the setting of "Dbl-click on empty space goes
up".
Tip: generally, holding CTRL while dbl-clicking the empty will
prevent that current selections are lost.

v6.10.0006 - 01.06.07 10:40
+ Font Preview: added field "File name" to the info section. Useful
when screenshooting a font sample with information, since font
file names often have low resemblance to the actual font names.
Also underlined the font name, suggesting that you can click this
name to (de)activate the font (a fantastic feature for designers
that few users seem to know!).
! Slow-dbl-click-induced rename was triggered by fast dbl-click
since one day. Fixed. Actually this problem could be older on your
system if your dbl-click time (aka dbl-click speed) was larger
than 300 msec. This is fixed, too.

v6.10.0007 - 02.06.07 10:08
+ Configuration | Colors | Color Filters: added color coding by file
attribute "NOT CONTENT INDEXED". Use this pattern:
/indexednot (or /i) -> matches all items with
NOT CONTENT INDEXED set
Tip: If you have no idea what this is, search the web for
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED (aka the "the FANCI bit"). It's
around since Win2K.
+ Added "Not [content] indexed" to the attributes on the Properties
tab and on the Attributes tab (Find Files), and to the Attributes
column in the list.
! Find Files tab | Excluded Folders: could not use the Backspace key
when renaming an item in this list because it would trigger its
assigned hotkey action (default = Go Up). Fixed.

v6.10.0010 - 03.06.07 20:00
! There was an issue with "Open Command Prompt Here": the command
prompt window sometimes/on some systems (mystery...) showed the
wrong icon and was grouped together with XY in the taskbar. Thanks
to mwb1100, this is fixed now.
! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Excluded font files had not
been not saved between sessions. Fixed.

%%% Image preview: Now you get highest quality resampling (shrinking,
stretching) even with huge pictures! There's still a limit beyond
which the resampling will be lower quality, but the limit is much
higher now (depending on your system around 20 million square
pixels = 4000 x 5000 pixels!).

+ Toolbar: added button for "Auto-Refresh" (w/ pushed state).
% Switching directories with "Auto-Refresh" enabled might be a tad
faster now.
! Wrong column was sorted after drag-moving the sorted column. Fixed.

v6.10.0015 - 06.06.07 13:06
+ Configuration | Advanced: added option "Cache specific icons".
Enable it to obtain specific icons (e.g. for ICO files) from the
shell icon cache. It's faster than accessing the files each time.
In v6.00.0008 (16.05.07 12:43) I fixed a rare problem with the
icon cache:
! Icon cache could get confused with items whose icons were drawn
from embedded resources (like *.ico, *.exe ...). Such a confusion
could be caused by swap-renaming 2 of such items. Fixed.
However, this fix (which was simply NOT to use the cache for these
file types) lead to a slight slowdown in listing files. So I
hereby make it optional. I recommend to enable this new option --
you won't have any problems until you swap-rename two ICO or EXE
files. And even then, menu View|Caches|Refresh List Icons Cache
will immediately update any wrongly displayed icons (it won't
update the cache, though -- I'm still working on this one...).
! Would not always find an existing server on start up. Fixed.

v6.10.0027 - 07.06.07 11:30
! Would not always find an existing server on auto-opening new tab
after calling 2nd instance. Fixed.
! Menus containing file names with "&" chars treated those chars as
accelerators. Fixed.
- Configuration dialog: removed the "Save Settings Now" button. It
was incompatible with the expected work flow. To manually save
settings to file (i.e. when you have disabled "Save settings on
Exit") use menu File |Configuration File | Save Configuration.

* Now, when opening a path using the command line switch, a new tab
is only created if no tab for that path is already open, else that
existing tab is simply selected. Before, a new tab was created
always.
! When switching from thumbs view to another view while thumbs still
being processed, you could experience various degrees of software
confusion. Fixed. Now the processing will be stopped first, then
you can switch views.
! You still could trigger a slow-dbl-click-induced rename with an
evil combination of single-clicks and double-clicks and the help
of programmed middle-mouse-buttons. But no more. This is finally
fixed!

v6.10.0032 - 08.06.07 12:57
+ Configuration | General: added option "Clear tabs on exit". If
enabled then it does what it says: clear the tabs, so that only the
current tab will there on the next restart.
Note: Just as with "Clear history on exit" this option actually
means that the current tabs are not stored to the INI file in the
moment the ini file is written. Which means, that if you exit
without saving, this setting has no effect at all; also, when you
click "Save Configuration" then the tabs will not be saved if
"Clear tabs on exit" is enabled. Same with "Clear history on
exit". Hence these options are totally misnamed! See next
paragraph...
* Configuration | General: renamed two options:
"Clear tabs on exit" -> "Don't save tabs"
"Clear history on exit" -> "Don't save history"
* Now, when passing the startpath via command line parameter, any
existing tab pointing to that path will opened. When none is found,
a new tab is created.
Of course, when you enable "Open command line start path in new
tab" then always a new tab is created.

> Here's what happens when you start XY with startpath in command
line, in wild man's code:
If any existing tab points to that path
select this tab
else
if 1st instance
if it is not locked AND
if "Open command line start path in new tab" is false
overwrite the current tab
else
create new tab
else [2nd instance]
create new tab
! With "Don't save tabs" enabled, passing the startpath via command
line resulted in a superfluous blank tab on startup. Fixed.

! Dbl-click on empty space in list: did not go up when the list was
empty. Fixed.
! Breadcrumb showed fictitious folder under certain circumstances.
Fixed.
* Preview of videos: removed the "Snapshot" button. Instead added a
"Snapshot Video Preview" command to the media preview dropdown menu,
plus a Miscellaneous keyboard shortcut defaulting to Ctrl+F11.

* Toolbar: "Show/Hide Tree" has a new icon, a new name ("Show/Hide
Navigation Panel"), and a new logic: Now the button is pressed when
the Navigation Panel (= Tree (and Catalog)) is shown.
* When you reactivate Auto-Refresh by disabling "Suspend Auto-
Refresh" you now get an immediate automatic Refresh File List (F5)
with it, because a fresh list is very likely what you want when
you move back to the fresh side.
! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Excluded formats were forgotten
if Configuration dialog was OKed and the Previewed Formats tab had
not been shown (and the lists not been filled). Fixed.
+ INI Tweak: SetFocusToListAfterCatalog.
* Menu Window: the old "High Tree" option is now called "Wide Info
Panel", and moved up from the "Layout" submenu to the main "Window"
menu. Also the toolbar button graphics of "Wide Info Panel"
(before "High Tree") and "Show Info Panel" were swapped,
suggesting that the new default state is a non-wide Info Panel.

* When you enable Auto-Refresh you now get an immediate automatic
Refresh File List (F5) with it, because a fresh list right now is
very likely what you want when going for Auto-Refresh.
! Toolbar's Auto-Refresh buttons were not updated when changing
Auto-Refresh via Configuration dialog. Fixed.
! Raw View: Extracting text from binary files created an empty file
when the currently scanned file was renamed during the process.
Fixed.
* Toolbar: tuned some of the "Window"-menu related icons.

v6.10.0048 - 22.06.07 10:02
+ CKS: unlocked two shortcuts, Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown. They
had been locked from usage because they belong to the standard
navigation keys of Windows lists (they move the focus pageup/down
without changing the selections). However, this usage is not very
important and probably not even very known. And, more important,
it has been superseded recently by another more important usage in
many apps: Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown are quite commonly used
to cycle through the tabs in tabbed interfaces (e.g. Firefox, IE7,
Windows Tabbed Dialogs, Excel...).
I even made them the (secondary) default keys for cycling tabs, so
coming fresh from the factory you'll have:
Cycle Tabs Backward: Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Ctrl+PageUp
Cycle Tabs Forward: Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+PageDown
Note: Of course, when Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown are assigned
to cycling tabs (or to whatever you like), they lose their
functionality of moving the focus in lists.
+ Menu View | Current Tab: added command "Filter Out Selected
Extension(s)". Sets a Visual Filter to *not* show items with the
same extension(s) as the List's selected item(s). In other words:
hide the items of the currently selected type(s). Default KS:
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+J.
* Toolbar: tuned some of the "Window"-menu related icons, again.
