v7.80.0031 - 2008-11-29 17:00
    + SC loadtree: Enhanced the "add" parameter, now called "modify".
      Syntax: loadtree pathlist, [modify=0]
        pathlist: list of paths separated by | (pipe)
                  if modify = 0 then the current tree folder is set to 
                  the first path
        [modify]: 0: [default] fresh tree from scratch
                  1: add paths to current tree
                  2: hide paths from current tree
      Example:
        ::loadtree "E:|F:", 2; //hide drives E: and F:
    + Configuration | Interface Colors | Tree: Added a color field for 
      Locked Tree.
    % Tree and List: Increased snappiness of painting.
    ! Mini Tree: Fixed a couple of glitches concerning Auto-Refresh. 
      Generally, no folders should be automatically added to the Mini 
      Tree via an Auto-Refresh. OTOH, you'd expect to see the folders 
      created through drag-n-drop when the target parent folders are 
      expanded. Also, rename operations should be reflected in the Mini 
      Tree. Tricky stuff, but I'm getting there...
    ! Mini Tree: With "Flat plus-minus icons" enabled the plus-minus 
      icons did not show the expected white on blue coloring. Fixed.

v7.80.0032 - 2008-12-01 12:59
    + SC input(): Added optional parameter "cancel" which allows you to 
      freely define a value that's returned in case the user cancels the 
      dialog:
      Syntax: input(topic, [notes], [default], [style=s], [cancel])
        [cancel]:   value to be returned when user cancels
                    if missing the script is terminated on cancel
      Example:
        ::$a = input("Enter your name!",, "Jimi",, chr(12)); echo $a;
    * SC input(): The command does not throw an error anymore when the 
      user cancels the dialog. The behavior now depends on the new 
      parameter cancel (see above).
    * Input dialog: Radically rewritten. Now the necessary height for 
      the notes is auto-calculated. Also, now it does support Unicode 
      in topic and notes strings.

    + Menu Favorites | Special System Folders: Added three virtual 
      folders, just to make them reachable via menu and KS:
        - Desktop
        - My Documents
        - My Network Places
    + Tree | Folder Context menu: Now, on Mini Tree, you find a new 
      command "Hide Folder" inside the submenu "Expansion". Use it to 
      hide non-current folders.

    ! Scripting: The recursion checker, when it fired, showed the wrong 
      listing and wrong stack depth in Step Dialog. Fixed.
    * Scripting | Step Dialog: Now the Stack Size (previously called 
      "Stack Depth") is displayed if it's greater than 0. If one script 
      calls another the Stack Size is increased by 1.

    * List: When blocked because of an unavailable location, now the 
      list still can hold the input focus.
      A dbl-click onto the blocked list now will go up one level.
    ! Mini Tree: When browsing to new servers on the fly they were 
      added to the tree but not to the list. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb: Did not work as expected on a Locked Tree when going 
      up from a server to Nethood.
    * Breadcrumb: Now the "Nethood" (aka My Network Places) node is 
      featured in the Breadcrumb.

    + Toolbar | Mini Tree: Added the following command to the context 
      menu.
      - "Mini Tree From History"
        Loads a Mini Tree made from the recent history. The history is 
        scanned backwards until the 4 deepest paths are collected that 
        are not in a mutual parent-child relation. Yep, it's hard-coded 
        to the magical number 4. Works for me but you might want more, 
        let's see...

    + Menu User: Added tweak to hide those categories without contents. 
      By default they are shown but disabled.
        [Settings]
        HideEmptyUserMenus=1
    ! Portable Openwith Menu: The predefined item that comes with fresh 
      installations did not work correctly because of missing quotes:
        +|"Append modified date" \;*>::rename b, *-<datem yyyymmdd>
      The right syntax is:
        +|"Append modified date" \;*>::rename "b", "*-<datem yyyymmdd>"
      Fixed.

UDCs.

    + Menu User: Added tweak to hide all UDCs from the menu that have a 
      caption (text field "Caption") beginning with an underscore 
      (analogous to hidden scripts), e.g. "_hidden".
        [Settings]
        HideUnderscoredUDCs=1

    * Tweak HideEmptyUserMenus=1 is now the default setting for fresh 
      installations.
    ! Mini Tree: The "hand" overlay was not shown for the icons of 
      shared folders. Fixed.
    ! Mini Tree: Changing the setting for "Show Hidden Files and 
      Folders" (and similar commands) would refresh the whole tree loading 
      all existing childs of the currently visible folders. Fixed: Now the 
      tree remains unchanged.

    + Configuration | Startup & Exit: Now tells you when the instance 
      was started and how long it is running (difference between startup 
      time and now). The maximum duration that can be displayed is 68 
      years, 35 days, 3 hrs, 14 mins, 7 secs. Should suffice even for 
      larger file copy operations on Vista... ;)
    * Configuration: Reorganized the previous "Report" page. Now it's 
      two pages, "Templates" and "Reporting".

      folders were automatically added (which should never happen on a 
      locked tree).

    ! Find Files: "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM) -- AND-combining patterns 
      using " " (space) in Standard Mode -- did not work as expected 
      when the patterns contained certain words or characters that are 
      used in Boolean search patterns, e.g. " and ", " or ", " & ", or 
      "(". Fixed.
      BTW, note that OR-combining patterns (using ";") has precedence 
      over LBM, so the following search term (in Standard Mode)
        a;b c
      is interpreted as
        "*a*" OR "*b c*"
      and not as
        "*a;b*" AND "*c*"
    * Find Files | "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM): in v5.50.0008 (2007-01-
      06 12:26) a feature was added where you could invert/negate the 
      individual arguments of the LBM search term:
        Desktop?a b !c    Find all items that contain the characters
                          a and b, but not c in their name.
      This is not supported anymore! To achieve this you should use the 
      full Boolean syntax instead:
        Desktop?:a & b & !c
      What you still can do is invert the *whole* LBM expression by 
      prefixing a "!":
        Desktop?!a b c    Find all items that do not contain the
                          characters a and b and c in their name.
    ! List: Since about 3 weeks ago, XY reported drives as "currently 
      not available" when they were in fact just empty. Fixed.

    + Added new file type to the set of previewed Web & Office formats:
        *.xps   XML Paper Specification
                aka "Microsoft's PDF competitor"
      XPS files can be previewed only if your system supports it. For 
      example to enable XPS support on Windows XP SP3, you can install 
      the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. There are other ways, too.
    ! Various controls (Tree, List, Catalog, Tabs) allowed dbl-clicks 
      from other than the left mouse button to be processed as dbl-
      clicks. Fixed: Now only left-button dbl-clicks count as dbl-
      clicks.
    ! Mini Tree: With Mini Tree enabled, passing the startpath via 
      command line didn't work, nor did setting a permanent startpath. 
      Both fixed.
