v9.90.0903 - 2011-05-06 12:40
    + Tweak to configure the translucent selection box transparency. 
      Allowed values: 1 (almost fully transparent) to 255 (fully 
      opaque). The factory default is 70.
        TSBTransparency=50
    * Icons for unavailable locations: Changed the icon to something 
      more standard.
      Credits and thanks for the icon (free for commercial use) goto 
      http://pixel-mixer.com/!
    * Unavailable locations icon: No such icon is shown anymore in the 
      Address Bar if it is dirty (if you are typing in it).
    + New variables <get curitem> and <get curitemprev>. They returns 
      the current resp. previous current item on whatever pane. Both 
      take optional parameters path, file, base, and ext.
      Examples:
        echo <get curitem>;       //E:\Test\b\c\Jane.txt
        echo <get curitem path>;  //E:\Test\b\c
        echo <get curitem file>;  //Jane.txt
        echo <get curitem base>;  //Jane
        echo <get curitem ext>;   //txt
      As always, SC get supports the same argument:
        echo get("curitemprev", "path");
    ! List: Select on paste did not always work on right-click drops. 
      Fixed.
    ! Showed a "hand" icon in various places in the UI for paths on 
      unavailable CD drives. Fixed.

    * Tree and List | Items' context menu: From now on the shell's 
      clipboard commands Cut, Copy, and Paste (shown in your locale in 
      the shell context menu) are actually executed by the shell. 
      Before, the shell was bypassed and execution was handed over to 
      XYplorer. Now you have an easy and intuitive alternative to 
      XYplorer's native clipboard commands, which are still accessible 
      via the Edit menu and KS (Ctrl+C etc.), or the List's white space 
      context menu.
      If you prefer the old behavior, use this new tweak:
        CtxMenuLetShellCopyPaste=0

v9.90.0909 - 2011-05-09 14:42
    + Configuration | File Operations | Backup Operations | On name 
      collisions: Added option "Ask". Choose it to pop an overwrite 
      prompt on each name collision, allowing you to decide case by 
      case. The overwrite prompt tells you a bit about the conflicting 
      files and offers you not to be asked again during the current job.
    * On name collisions: Renamed some of the existing options to a more 
      standard wording:
        OLD                                 NEW
        Overwrite only older files          Overwrite if newer
        Overwrite never                     Skip
        Suffix increment to copies          Suffix increment to copy
        Affix current date to copies        Affix current date to copy
        Affix last modified date to copies  Affix last modified date to copy
    * Configuration | File Operations | Backup Operations. Renamed 
      "Create detailed log file for each backup" to "Create log file". 
      Renamed "Show summary report when done" to "Show summary report".
    + SC backupto enhanced: The on_collision parameter got a new value 
      (-1 = Ask) which pops an overwrite prompt on each name collision.
      Syntax: backupto location, [source], [on_collision], _
                  [preserve_dates], [create_log], [pop_stats]
        on_collision:
         -1 = Ask
      For example, backup all selected items to E:\Test; on collision 
      ask what to do:
        ::backupto "E:\Test", , -1;
    + Configuration | File Operations | Backup Operations: Added option 
      "On failures" with three choices:
      - Ask         Pops a prompt on each failure.
      - Continue    Just continues processing.
      - Cancel      Cancels the whole job.
      On "Ask" you get a prompt with three buttons:
      - Continue All  Continues on all such failures (no more asking).
      - Continue      Continues (ask again next time).
      - Cancel        Cancels the whole job now.
      FYI, currently three types of failures are recognized:
      - Verification failed: May happen if the "verify" option is 
        enabled.
      - Decryption failed: May happen when copying an encrypted file to 
        a medium that does not support encryption.
      - Something else failed: Well, something bad happened that cannot 
        be further specified.

    + List Management: Added "Tagged Items..." which offers backdoor 
      access to the tags database in its current state in memory. You 
      can edit the records (of course you should know what you do, there 
      is no error checking concerning the syntax), remove records, add 
      records. Using Editor Mode you can outsource the work to a text 
      editor of your choice. You will already see that this feature is a 
      very powerful addition to Tag-Based File Management. It is also 
      comes in handy at checking out orphans and maybe manually reviving 
      them by updating the paths.
    + Configuration | Tags: Added button "Edit Tagged Items..." which 
      pops the above described "Tagged Items..." section of List 
      Management right from the Configuration window.      
    + Configuration | General: Added option "Mixed sort on tag 
      columns". Check to use a mixed sort (mix folders and files when 
      sorting) always on the columns Label, Tags, and Comment.

v9.90.0911 - 2011-05-11 21:50
  +++ Access Control: A powerful corporate feature by which an admin can 
      easily control which paths can be accessed by the user of 
      XYplorer. If this feature is enabled then browsing and file 
      operations are only possible in, from, and to the explicitly 
      allowed paths.
      Access Control is invoked using Admin.ini, a plain text file 
      located in the path of XYplorer.exe.
      The following section and key in Admin.ini are used to enable 
      and define Access Control. In this example, access is allowed only 
      for Desktop, D:\, and E:\Test (all subfolders included).
        [AccessControl]
        AllowedDirs=Desktop|D:|E:\Test
      Any number of paths can be concatenated, separated by a | (pipe).
      If the key AllowedDirs is not empty then Access Control is 
      enabled. If Access Control is enabled then the Mini Tree mode is 
      forced on the user.
    + Configuration | Tags: Added button "Edit Orphans...". It pops a 
      list of all current orphans (if any) which can be manually edited.
      Note that in this interface, you cannot add or remove items.

    + Access Control: The context menu of toolbar button "Mini Tree" now 
      features two extra items "Allowed Locations" (lists all allowed 
      locations) and "Mini Tree from Allowed Locations" (creates a Mini 
      Tree from just the allowed locations), which are only visible when 
      Access Control is active.
    + Access Control: When Access Control is active the titlebar caption 
      now has "[AC]" at its right end.
    * Configuration | Tags: Packed some of the advanced buttons into a 
      popup menu under "Advanced Options..." and differentiated between 
      "Edit Orphans (All Drives)" and "Edit Orphans (Fixed Drives 
      Only)".
    ! List Management: The edit box in Editor mode was limited hold to 
      only 32,767 characters. Fixed. This limit has been raised to about 
      4 gigabytes.
    ! SC report: A script line like the following produced an error when 
      no item was selected:
        ::text report("{Basename}<crlf>", 1);
      Fixed.
    ! List: Under certain conditions the list was auto-refreshed even if 
      inline-rename was in action. This should not happen. Fixed.
    + SC copyas: Now the itemlist parameter supports relative (to current 
      list path) paths, e.g.:
        ::copyas "copy-*.png", ,"1.png|2.png";

    + Access Control: Backup operations weren't covered yet. Done.
    * Access Control: Changed the icon. Credits and thanks for the new 
      icon go to http://www.brightmix.com/. Their generous WTFPL license 
      allowed me to pimp it up a bit.
    ! Access Control: The Mini Tree still would have displayed 
      disallowed paths when browsing to them via various location ports 
      (Favorites, Address Bar, ...). Fixed.
    + Command Line: Now you can set a session title via the new command 
      line switch /title=<session title>. If the title contains any 
      spaces it has to be quoted. Example:
        Run: XYplorer.exe /title="Mars Project"
      A session title is useful when you need to distinguish several 
      parallel sessions. See next paragraph...
    + Configuration | Templates | Titlebar Template: Added new field 
      <title> which is set to the title of the current session.
      Example:
        Run: XYplorer.exe /title="Mars Project"
        Template: <path> - <app> - <ver> - <title>
        Caption: E:\Test\c - XYplorer - v9.90.0922 - Mars Project

    + Access Control: Added further means to limit user power.
      The new key DisallowedOperations can be used to disallow certain 
      file related operations. The value is a made by OR-ing (here 
      equivalent to adding) the values of the following bit field:
          Move = 1
          Copy = 2
          Delete = 4
          Rename = 8
          New = 16
          Open = 32
          Tag = 64
          ShellCtxMenu = 128
      For example, to disallow Move, Delete, and Rename, add 1 + 4 + 8 = 
      13:
        [AccessControl]
        DisallowedOperations=13
    + Access Control: Added further means to limit user power.
      The new key DisabledFeatures can be used to disable certain 
      features. The value is a made by OR-ing (here equivalent to 
      adding) the values of the following bit field:
          Scripting = 1
          UDC = 2
          CKS = 4
          PFA = 8
          CacheServers = 16
          Catalog = 32
      For example, to disable Scripting:
        [AccessControl]
        DisabledFeatures=1
    > Access Control: Here's an example for how to set up XYplorer to 
      limit activity to Desktop and \\ServerB\Work, disallow Move, 
      Delete, and Rename even in this allowed locations, and generally 
      disable Scripting and UDC:
      Create Admin.ini in the path of XYplorer.exe and paste this:
        [AccessControl]
        AllowedDirs=Desktop|\\ServerB\Work
        DisallowedOperations=13
        DisabledFeatures=3

    + Custom Event Actions (CEA): Added another custom event, "right-

        [Settings]
        CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite=0

        2 = Popup the Drives menu
        3 = Popup the Drives with Special Folders menu
        (any other value) = Do nothing
    ! Menu Tools | Customize File Associations...: Wrong icons (for a 
      couple of beta versions). Fixed.
    ! File operations by drag and drop were not always backgrounded when 
      they should (for a couple of beta versions). Fixed.

    + SC formatlist enhanced: Added format "x" for shuffle (randomize 
      order), and a special parameter for a seed.
      Syntax: formatlist(list, [format], [separator=|], [seed])
        format:   Switches for the desired formatting. Can be freely 
                  combined in any order.
          x = shuffle (randomize order)
        seed:     Seeds the randomizer used for shuffle. Can be any 
                  number apart from 0. If the seed is set, the 
                  randomizer always generates the same random sequence 
                  for this seed.
      Examples:
        text formatlist("b|a|c", "x"); //a|c|b ... b|c|a ... c|b|a ...
        text formatlist("b|a|c", "x", , 19); //always b|a|c
    + SC formatlist enhanced: Now you can pass an empty delimiter in 
      order to treat the list as a list of single characters.
      Examples:
      - With default delimiter:
        text formatlist("b|a|c", "s"); //a|b|c
      - With empty delimiter:
        text formatlist("bac", "s", ""); //abc        
    ! Toolbar: Fixed some drawing glitches.
    * Tweak CtxMenuLetShellCopyPaste is now by factory default OFF 
      (see v9.90.0904 - 2011-05-06 22:00). Reason: If the shell handles 
      cut, copy, and paste, the operations bypass XYplorer's undo/redo 
      log.

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   hextodec
      Action: Converts a hexadecimal number into a decimal number.
      Syntax: hextodec(hexnumber)
        hexnumber: The hexadecimal number to convert. Can be in any of 
                   these formats:
                      "0x499602D2"    (0x-prefix as used in C++, PHP etc)
                      "&H499602D2"    (&H-prefix as used in VB)
                      "499602D2"      (no prefix)
                   Anything above 8 digits (after the prefix) is ignored.
      Example:
        text hextodec("0x499602D2"); // 1234567890
    * SC formatlist: Now the seed can also be 0 (and still function as 
      expected).
