v8.90.0006 - 2010-03-18 20:45
    + Toolbar: Added button "Queue file operations". Identical to "Queue 
      file operations" in Configuration | File Operations.
      If pressed then any new file operation is delayed until any 
      pending file operations are completed.
      The button's context menu allows you to turn off background 
      processing in which case the button is displayed disabled (but you 
      still can use its context menu).
      The button is tributed to Bob Marley.
    + Toolbar | Queue file operations: The button's context menu has an 
      item "Status Log..." which displays a list of all file operations 
      executed (or queued for execution) in the background (through 
      XYcopy) within the current session. The log is not stored between 
      sessions.
      Makeup of a log line:
      - Time the job was initiated by the user (not the time when it was
        actually triggered in case of queueing)
      - Description of the job
      - Status and duration
    * Configuration | File Operations: Renamed "Auto-queue pending file 
      operations" to "Queue file operations".
    * XYcopy: Now only Copies and cross-partition Moves are done in the 
      background. Within-partition Moves are fast because they are just 
      renames, and Deletes are fast as well anyway.
    * Installer Package: Readded the "Run XYplorer" checkbox. It was not 
      to blame.
    * Installer Package: Now you can run the installer with /S (case 
      sensitive) on the command line, and you get a totally silent 
      install with all the default choices made for you.

    * Configuration | File Operations: Renamed "Process file operations 
      in the background" to "Background processing".
    * XYcopy: Now, when "Background processing" is ON and "Queue file 
      operations" is OFF, new file operations are immediately triggered 
      in their own fresh process.
      Notes
      - This option is applied on a per-job basis in the moment the jobs 
        are initiated by the user, so while one or more jobs are running 
        in the background you can change the setting of "Queue file 
        operations" to control how the *next* job is handled; running 
        or pending jobs are not affected.
      - There's no explicit limit applied to the number of parallel 
        processes, but I assume Windows will let you know before your 
        computer explodes.
    * XYcopy: Now also the various commands in the drag'n'drop context 
      menu (Move/Copy Here with Suffix...) support background processing.
    * Menu Go | Go to Application Data Folder: This item is now always 
      shown. Before it had been hidden when the Application Data Folder 
      was identical to the Application Folder, but this made support 
      unnecessarily hard ("If you see an item ... then click else ...").
    * Upgrading Application Data from a pre-8.90 version: Now also data 
      that hang out in Vista/W7's VirtualStore are correctly auto-
      upgraded to a UAC conforming app data path.
    + Menu Tools | List Management: Added command "Recent Locations". 
      Here you can edit the data which feed Recent Locations, Hotlist, 
      Mini Tree From Recent, Breadcrumb, and Down (menu Go).
    ! Environment Variables: Worked around a Windows (!) bug where 
      %appdata% is not resolved when XYplorer is started via 'Run As...' 
      for <admin> privileges.

    + A bunch of modal dialogs showing a simple list were not resizable. 
      Now they are.
    * XYcopy: Pimped up the Status Log.
    * Configuration | File Operations: 
      - Reorganized the order of options and the head lines.
      - Renamed "Background processing" to "Enable background 
        processing".
      - Added some tooltips.
    * Configuration | Advanced: Readded "Refresh During File Operations" 
      It had been only available in the context menu of the Refresh 
      toolbar buttons for a while.
    * Toolbar | Queue Multiple Operations: New icon. The Jamaican 
      Mandala did not transport the Queue motif in a consumer compatible 
      way.
    * XYcopy: Drag'n'drop operations from other apps into XYplorer are 
      now forced to run in the foreground no matter what. This solves 
      known problems with some archivers who depend on the volatile 
      existence of temporary files in %TEMP%, and probably yet unknown 
      problems where the source app expects immediate action.
    ! With "Refresh during file operations" OFF, Auto-Refresh kept being 
      suspended after a file operation. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Current List: Did not honour the "Hide Extensions" 
      list style. Fixed. Also fixed for SC report().
    ! Menu File | File Special | Delete (Skip Locked): Would 
      misinterpret read-only files as "Locked". Fixed.
    ! When dbl-clicking an empty CD-drive (or otherwise unavailable 
      drive) on a locked MyComputer tab, the (locked) tab would then 
      point to the CD-drive. Fixed. Now the first existing tab pointing 
      to this location is selected, or a new tab is opened.
    ! FVS: On startup and with "Don't save tabs" enabled, the inactive 
      pane's tab would not honour any applicable FVS. Fixed.

    + New variable <get item [pane]> returns the focused item of any of 
      the two panes. The optional "pane" argument can be:
        a = [default] active pane 
        i = inactive pane
        1 = pane 1
        2 = pane 2
      For example:
        <get item>    //active pane's focused item
        <get item i>  //inactive pane's focused item
      As always, SC getinfo supports the same argument:
        echo getinfo("item");     //active pane's focused item
        echo getinfo("item", i);  //inactive pane's focused item
    * XYcopy: Status Log now shows if jobs were cancelled or partially 
      completed, and other improvements.
    ! Recycle Bin: Shell-pasting of items shell-cut from RB did not work 
      as expected. Fixed. (Shell-paste and shell-cut means using the 
      commands from the shell context menu.)
    ! List: Under certain conditions uncovered thumbnails were not 
      repainted on IP show/hide. Fixed.

    + Visual Filters: Now you can prepend a caption to each filter item. 
      The syntax is similar to the one you know from Favorites or the 
      POM, only that the quoted caption must be followed by a space 
      character to avoid ambiguities.
      For example:
        "Images" *.gif|*.png|*.jpg
        "Items ending with g" >g$
      The tab captions will show only the (unquoted) caption of a VF 
      with caption.
    * Rename Preview: Now on showing the preview the window is initially 
      auto-sized to the optimal (=minimal) width.
    % Cleaner and faster startup due to removed unnecessary painting.
    ! XYcopy: Vanished from the taskbar in v8.90.0012. Returned.

      Backups the whole contents of the Application Data Folder to a 
      folder of your choice (defaulting to the current folder). The 
      hard-coded operation type is "Backup" with "Overwrite only older 
      files" and "Preserve item dates".
    * Updated the help file.

    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ Background Processing. Now you can continue working in XYplorer 
      while heavy copy jobs are processed in the background.
  +++ Queued File Operations. Background file operations can optionally 
      be processed sequentially (in a queue), which is often far more 
      efficient than processing them in parallel.
  +++ Remove Diacritics. A special rename command to strip any 
      diacritical marks from the letters in all selected item names, 
      e.g. "Köln" > "Koln".
  +++ Raw View. Now UTF-16BE (Big Endian) files are supported when they 
      have the UTF-16BE BOM.
  +++ Visual Filters. Now you can define a caption to each filter item 
      and thus give complex filters a friendly name.

    * Audio Preview revisited: Here are the revised Keyboard and Mouse 
      tricks, including a fix for Shift+Space which did not stop the 
      clip.
      Keyboard shortcuts:
        Space bar               Start/Pause playing.
        Shift+Space bar         Go to beginning and stop.

        Left Mouse Down         Go to mouse position.
        Right Mouse Down        Start/Pause playing.

        Shift+Right Mouse Down  Go to beginning and stop.
        Ctrl+Left Mouse Down    Set start of sub loop.

        Ctrl+Alt+Mouse Down     Reset sub loop.

    + Tweak to load alternative app icon.
        IconResource=1
      Set to 1 (resp. anything but 0) to use an embedded alternative app 
      icon. The alternative app icon will be used on the main window and 
      all child windows, on the taskbar, and the system tray. It will 
      not affect the icon of the XYplorer.exe file itself, of course, 
      because for this you would have to change the file.
    ! About box still had the XY8 watermark. Upgraded to XY9.

    + XYcopy (Background Processing): Now also Delete operations are 
      processed in the background if Background Processing is enabled. 
      However, contrary to Copy and Move, Delete operations are never 
      queued regardless of the setting of "Queue file operations", 
      because Delete is usually fast and you rather expect immediate 
      action when you delete something.    
    * New app icon, the "plectrum". The old white-on-orange icon is 
      still available via a tweak:
        IconResource=0  //green plectrum (factory default and EXE icon)
        IconResource=1  //orange plectrum
        IconResource=2  //old orange "XY" icon
    ! Rename Special | Aaa Aa.*: A file named "can't rename.png" would 
      convert to title case as "Can'T Rename.png". Fixed. Now an 
      apostrophe is not taken as word separator anymore.
    ! All Free Shortcuts dialog: Crash depending on your locale when 
      pressing the "[" key with or without modifiers. Fixed.
    ! Tree and List: With certain East Asian character systems there was 
      problem with typing into the inline rename boxes. Should be fixed 
      now.

    * New app icon, the "Black Orange" (sorry, no better idea).
    + New tweak to load app icon from a stand-alone icon file:
        IconFile=[Filename]
      [Filename] supports full paths, relative (to app path) and 
      portable paths. If [Filename] is empty or points to a non-existing 
      or invalid icon resource, then the internal default icon is used.
      Note that the icon file should at least contain a 32x32 and a 
      16x16 pixels icon, preferably in 32-bit (but 8-bit will work as 
      well).
    - Removed tweak IconResource.
    ! Tree: Could not drag-move a folder "C:\A" into a folder "C:\AB" 
      because they were wrongly seen as having the same name although A 
      was only the left part of AB. Fixed.
    ! Tree, List: Inline-renaming triggered by clicking the parent 
      control would generate two consecutive error messages if the new 
      name was illegal. Fixed.

    * New About box.
    * XYcopy.exe: New app icon.
    * Status Log: Now shows whether a job is queued in the second line.
    ! XYcopy (Background Processing): Jobs coming in a very fast and 
      tight sequence (only possible when triggered by a script) would 
      partly (and not fully predictably; race condition) ignore queueing 
      and run in parallel. Fixed.
    ! List: Fixed a glitch with drag selection where the last list item 
      was selected when the selection rect was completely below that 
      item.
