v27.90.0015 - 2025-07-30 12:23
    + Info Panel | Preview: You can now display the waveform of media files (audio and 
      video) in the progress bar if you have previously provided an image file containing 
      the waveform and named it according to the rules specified in a special template. 
      - Currently, the template is only available as a tweak (AudioPreviewWaveFormPath).
      - In addition to environment and XYplorer native variables the template supports two 
        special variables, <preview_base> and <preview_name> that are resolved to the base 
        (name without extension) or name (without path) of the currently previewed media file.
      - Below are two examples of how to define the template. The first is an absolute path 
        (<xydata> = XYplorer data folder), and the second is a subfolder (WaveForms) of the 
        folder containing the previewed media file:
          AudioPreviewWaveFormPath=<xydata>\WaveForms\<preview_base>.png
          AudioPreviewWaveFormPath=WaveForms\<preview_name>.png
      - Once the template is set, the media preview will display a matching image if one is 
        found. All standard image formats are supported.
      - The waveform image can have any size and is stretched as necessary to fill the 
        progress bar. The lower 3 pixels of the bar are reserved for the live progress 
        marker as it moves from beginning to end.
      - Note: XY cannot create waveforms on its own. You must prepare them with other software.
    * Info Panel | Preview | Media Progress Bar: Widened from 272 to 284 pixels (at 100% 
      screen scaling).
      FYI, the space for waveforms is exactly 284x15 pixels now (at 100% screen scaling), 
      so this is the size that won't suffer from stretching.
    ! Quick Search, SC quicksearch, Find Files: "size" selector comparisons returned 
      apparent rubbish when you passed byte units like KB or MB instead of raw bytes. Fixed.
        text quicksearch("size: < 1MB", "<xypath>", , n); //works as expected now

v27.90.0016 - 2025-07-31 18:50
    + View | Tab | Rename Tab...: Now generic system icons are supported as tab icons if 
      passed as extension in the usual format:
        |*.txt
    + Custom File Associations: You can now use the "$" symbol to represent the "Open" 
      command of the shell context menu. Files associated with "$" open with the Enter key 
      or by double-clicking, just as if they had been opened via the shell context menu.
      Background: In rare cases, subtle differences exist between the various ways Windows 
      offers to open a file. This new special character makes the "Open" command of the 
      shell context menu available in Custom File Associations.
      Examples:
        ini>$
        "Shell Open" ini>$
      In the first example the menu caption defaults to "Shell Context Menu > Open".
    + Added a tweak so that double-clicking on a single item in the list opens the item as 
      if it were opened from the shell context menu:
        DblClickToShellOpen=1
      Notes:
        - This is a quick, catch-all alternative to the more precise CFA "$" symbol above.
        - Any Custom File Associations are ignored with this setting.
        - Opening by pressing ENTER is not affected.

v27.90.0018 - 2025-08-03 14:18
    + Custom Copy | Collision Prompt: Now, differences between the source and target files 
      are marked in red. Previously, they were underlined.
      If the file sizes are equal and below 100 MB (otherwise it would be too slow), then 
      the contents are compared using SHA-384. If the contents differ, the size label 
      turns red and "Contents differ!" is added.
      Note: Due a TB bug (that will be fixed soon) some captions get bolder each time you 
      get the overwrite prompt.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0004.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Selections: With
      "XYplorer Style (Rounded)" the rounding was excessive in the "Large Icons" and 
      "Details with Thumbnails" views. Fixed.

    + Floating Preview: Now it works for ZIPs and animated GIFs. Worked around a TB 
      limitation.
    * Configuration | Other | Features | User-Defined Commands: This feature was hidden by 
      default (v26.30.0402 - 2024-08-28 12:21). While today's users may easily become 
      overwhelmed, they also have difficulty finding settings. For this reason, the 
      feature has been re-enabled by default.

      Box, ratios from 0.995 to 0.999 were rounded up and shown as 100%. Not good. Now,
      those values are rounded down to 0.99 and shown as 99%.

    + Floating Preview: Added a way to auto-position the viewer at the end of a previewed 
      text file. Currently implemented as a tweak:
        FPTextTail=1
    % Thumbnails: Experimentally implemented a little speed boost for non-cached 
      thumbnails. Exponentially more noticeable the more thumbnails there are.
    + New Constant: <cr> is resolved to the Carriage Return byte (0D).
    + New Constant: <lf> is resolved to the Line Feed byte (0A).
    > Constants <cr> and <lf> take an optional count parameter for repetition. Example:
        echo "Catch<lf 22>22";

v27.90.0024 - 2025-08-12 19:19
    + Scripting got a new function (TB version only).
      Name: ApplyFolderView
      Action: Applies any of the saved folder views to the current list.
      Syntax: applyfolderview([path])
        path:   Path of the source folder view.
                If it does not look like a path it's checked for a partial match.
                If empty or missing then the default folder view is applied, if available.
        return: 0: No folder view found.
                1: Folder view found and successfully applied.
      Remarks:
        - You find a list of the available folder view here:
          View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views...
        - You could create a small collection of folders in a corner of your AppData 
          folder, each with its own stored folder view. Then, you could use these folders 
          as a source for quickly applying a specific, complex style to the current list. 
          For example, you could use a custom toolbar button as a one-click solution for 
          this purpose.
      Examples:
        applyfolderview("E:\Test\FolderView2"); //matches exactly this path
        applyfolderview("Jimmy"); //matches the first folder view that contains "Jimmy" in the path
    + Floating Preview: Added toggle "Auto-Scroll to End" (Ctrl+E). Enable it to 
      automatically position the viewer at the end of a previewed text file. This can be 
      useful e.g. when viewing log files.
      The toggle is available in the context menu of the Floating Preview status bar 
      (which can be toggled by pressing S). The Ctrl+E keyboard shortcut is always 
      available (independently of the status bar and of the previewed file type), but of 
      course it only affects previewed texts.
      FYI, this raises tweak FPTextTail to the UI.
    * Info Panel | Raw View: Renamed the "Tail" toggle to "Auto-Scroll to End".

      now), but kept in place for backward compatibility.
      Syntax: extracttext([file], [bitness], [flags])
        bitness: [obsolete and ignored, hard-coded to 64-bit]
    ! SC extracttext: Did not work properly without passing the obsolete bitness argument. 
      Fixed.
