v6.10.0049 - 26.06.07 09:45
    + Backup: now a failure to copy a certain item when using the 
      "Backup [To]" function is analyzed into one of three categories:
        (1) Source Too Long (> 260 chars)
        (2) Target Too Long (> 260 chars)
        (3) For Other Reasons
      If you use the backup log option (Configuration|Report), you can 
      now easily see which items were too long to be copied and manually 
      do something about it.    
      When a failure happens, the statusbar progress now turns red.    
    + Added "Filter Out Selected Extension(s)" to the VF toolbar button 
      context menu.
    - Removed this smart feature (from v5.40.0029 - 23.11.06 12:49) 
      because it was just too smart.
        Added a smart (sorry!) toggle to "Filter by Selected 
        Extension(s)" [Ctrl+Alt+J]: if the current VF is exactly the 
        same as the new one would be, VF is turned off. So using 
        [Ctrl+Alt+J] two times brings you back to unfiltered view.

v6.10.0051 - 29.06.07 12:05
    + CKS dialog: added command "Close Dialog and Trigger Command" to 
      the Commands List's context menu. Allows you to trigger any 
      command right from here!
      Especially useful with the miscellaneous commands, which are not 
      available anywhere else. You now can use them without having to 
      assign a shortcut first.
    + CKS: new "Miscellaneous" command "Center Window". Description: 
      Center window in screen. Works only if window is neither maximized 
      nor minimized.
      Especially useful when you lost the main window on a 2nd monitor 
      that's switched off.
    + Menu Edit: added command "Select All Files" (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M). 
      Selects all files in the List, not the folders.
    * Menu View | Columns: "Define Current Column Widths and Sequence as 
      User Default" is now called "Define Current Column Setup as &User 
      Default" and includes the columns' visibility.
      And, instead of a nagging message box you now get a feedback on 
      the statusbar.
    * Equally, "Restore Column Widths and Sequence from User Default" is 
      now called "Restore Column Setup from User Default" and includes 
      the columns' visibility.

v6.10.0052 - 01.07.07 09:22
    * Menu View | Columns: Removed "Restore Column Sequence from Factory 
      Default". Its functionality is taken over by the slightly modified 
      and renamed neighboring commands: "Define Current Column Setup as 
      Default" and "Restore Column Setup from Default" The "Default" is 
      set to the factory setup on a fresh installation. You can the 
      change it to your likings.
      BTW: After using "Define Current Column Setup as Default" we 
      celebrate the return of the message box (no more feedback on the 
      statusbar). Since it is expected that you rather rarely change 
      your default column setup, a message box is suitable here.
    * Menu File | Configuration File: "Save Configuration" now saves the 
      current INI file (usually XYplorer.ini), the keyboard shortcuts 
      database (ks.dat), the catalog database (catalog.dat), and (if 
      enabled) the cached servers database (servers.dat). The latter 
      (the updating of servers.dat by this command) is a new feature.
    ! Selections were corrupted on a Refresh File List (F5) in a 
      subfolder-including search results listing if the selections 
      contained several same-named items. Reason: the same-named items' 
      different paths were disregarded. Fixed.
    ! History: currently unavailable locations were not added to the 
      history, with the result of slightly unexpected behaviors when 
      navigating via history. Fixed.

v6.10.0053 - 03.07.07 12:39
    + CKS: new "Miscellaneous" command "Switch Focus between Files and 
      Folders". Description: In the List, if a folder is focused move the 
      focus to the first file from top, and vice versa. And focus the 
      List if not focused anyway.
      Quite a useful command for keyboard-oriented power-users!
    * After (un)applying a Visual Filter the focused item is now kept in 
      view if possible. Hey, it even works with VF on Search Results.
    * CKS: "Miscellaneous" command "Center Window" now does restore the 
      window in case it is maximized and then centers it.
    ! Tree and List: after a failed rename (e.g. because the new name 
      already existed), the focus was not always put right back to the 
      edit box, so that you had to manually re-focus it in order to close 
      it. Fixed.
    * Find Files: from now on -- experimentally -- Auto-Refresh is auto-
      suspended for a Search-Results-listing (aka Finding tab). In other 
      words: Search Results are now frozen unless you explicitly 
      (re)activate Auto-Refresh on them. We'll see whether we like it...
    * When you enable Auto-Refresh you get an immediate automatic 
      Refresh File List (F5) since v6.10.0045. New: this will *not* 
      happen with search results. To trigger a (re-)search you have to 
      press F3 or F5.

    * CKS: The "Miscellaneous" category is now subdivided into sections.
    * After (un)applying a Visual Filter the focused item is now not 
      only kept in view if possible, but as well kept in exactly the 
      same screen position if possible.

    + Focus is now remembered between sessions. If it's not in one of 
      the main controls (Address Bar, Tree, List, Catalog) it will 
      default to Tree.
    + Address Bar and Find Files Location field: now these edit fields 
      recognize the following path separators as word boundaries: \:?|
      Which means: pressing Ctrl-Shift-Left/Right now selects the 
      previous/next folder in a displayed path. Nice!
      Note how superior XY is to Explorer: the latter also recognizes 
      space, &, -, _ (and many more characters that are often used in 
      folder names) as word separators in the Address Bar. Who needs 
      this?
    ! Toolbar icons show distorted colors under certain XP themes. 
      Fixed now??

    + Copy/Move/Backup To: now they also recognize path separators as 
      word boundaries.
    * Menu Go: "Go to from Here" now has all the power that "Go to" has 
      since long. The only differences from "Go to":
        - the default path is set to the current path
        - the default path is not pre-selected (makes it easier to "work 
          on it" by keys -- a full selection is only meaningful when you 
          quickly want to replace the whole thing).

    ! Menu Go: "Go to" and "Go to from Here" did recognize path 
      separators as word boundaries only if "Auto-complete path/file 
      names" was enabled for the Go To dialog. Fixed. Now path 
      separators are recognized always.
   :) 2-weeks break.

v6.10.0066 - 24.07.07 14:02
    + Find Files: now you can easily switch between modes via a new "Mode:" 
      dropdown list, located directly below the "Name:" dropdown list.
      Just to make sure: "Mode" refers to the way the search pattern 
      ("Name") is interpreted. For example, in "Boolean" mode the 
      sequence " & " is interpreted as Boolean AND, whereas in Standard 
      mode it would simply be interpreted as those three characters.
      Note that nothing will change for you (or for your stored search 
      templates) if you keep the mode at Standard. So you can just 
      ignore this new feature and keep on working as you always did.
      However, when you set the mode to Boolean or RegExp, you will 
      benefit from this new feature because you do not have to set the 
      prefixes (":" for Boolean, ">" for RegExp) anymore that were 
      necessary before to set the mode.
      Note that you still *can* set those prefixes and that they will 
      *overwrite* the setting of the Mode dropdown! If you do, the 
      dropdown will be replaced by a static label reflecting the current 
      mode. (Of course, in Name Searches, as can be triggered via 
      Address Bar and Catalog, you still must use those prefixes to set 
      the mode -- so nothing new here.)
      Developer's footnote: The main benefit, at least for me, is the 
      improvement of the GUI. The state and options of searching are 
      much clearer now.
    ! Crash on MouseDownBlowUp on thumbnails of huge images (under 
      certain conditions). Fixed.
    * Now, if you try to browse a network location while you unchecked 
      "Show My Network Places", you get a message "You cannot go to a 
      network location because you opted to hide My Network Places." and 
      no browsing is attempted.

      autosized after a rename. Fixed.

    + Find Files: now, you can click the label "Mode:" to cycle the name 
      pattern prefixes: [none], :, >. Just a little, more or less hidden, 
      power user trick for mousies.
    ! Menu Edit | New | New Folder (Ctrl+N): slightly changed the 
      internal order of actions. This might fix an issue where the list 
      refresh after "New Folder" was too slow for fast typists.
    ! Toolbar buttons lacked transparency under certain color schemes. 
      Fixed.
    ! Resizing the Catalog was buggy when DPI was set to a user-defined 
      value like 115%. Very strange VB user control (again!) bug , almost 
      fixed (worked around). The complete fix (removal of the damn User 
      Control) comes next time.

    + Menu View | Show Items: added option "Show Folders in List". 
      Defaults to checked. Uncheck it to show only files in the List.
      Default KS: Ctrl+Shift+O.
      Little issue: in Find mode, hiding folders currently also stops 
      recursing subfolders... I'll fix that soon...
    ! Toolbar buttons lacked transparency under certain color schemes. 
      Fixed #2.

v6.10.0072 - 02.08.07 17:41
    + CKS: added new time-stamping commands to "Miscellaneous" under the 
      new sub-category "Touch":
      - Set Modified Date to Now
      - Set Created Date to Now
      - Set Accessed Date to Now
      The commands are applied to all currently selected List items.
    ! Menu View | Show Items | Show Folders in List: in Find mode, 
      folders were not recursed when they were hidden by an unchecked 
      "Show Folders in List". Fixed.
      The same bug was in effect for folders hidden by an unchecked 
      "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and "Show System Files and 
      Folders": they were not recursed if hidden. Fixed: now they are 
      recursed and matching contents are displayed in the result listing 
      even if the containing folders themselves are not displayed.
    % Faster handling of attempts to browse to currently not available 
      network locations.
    ! Menu Edit | New | New Folder (Ctrl+N): list refresh after "New 
      Folder" was too slow for fast typists. Fix attempt #2.
    * Toolbar: redefined button "Show Hidden Items" to "Hide Folders in 
      List". The context menu remains the same (just the default command 
      changed). Note that the pressed button state means the folders are 
      hidden. I found it more intuitive to have the normal state (folders 
      shown) unpressed.
    * Menu Go | Hotlist... (Ctrl+H): now the hotlist pops up at the 
      current mouse position. Smoother workflow...
