    + Tabsets: Now the most recently used tabsets of each pane are 
      stored between sessions in a portable manner. The MRU tabsets 
      lists hold 32 items per pane.      
    + Toolbar | Tabsets: The left-click now opens the MRU tabsets list 
      of the current pane in a popup menu. Click an item to load that 
      tabset.
    + Configuration | Startup & Exit | Remember most-recently-used 
      lists: The item "Tabs" is now called "Tabs and Tabsets" and 
      controls also the retaining of MRU tabsets between sessions.
    + Configuration | Templates | Titlebar Template: Added new fields 
      <tabset1> and <tabset2>, set to the name of the tabset of each 
      pane. The name is identical to the folder name; you don't get any 
      information here about the path of the tabset.
    ! Catalog: Scroll position was not always restored correctly between 
      sessions for a while. Fixed.
    ! Catalog: MRU list did not function correctly for a while. Fixed.

v10.60.0120 - 2011-12-06 13:42
    + SC strpos enhanced: Now negative start positions are supported to 
      begin searching from the start position leftwards.
      Examples:
        echo strpos("abcab", "b",  5);    // -1 (not found)
        echo strpos("abcab", "b",  4);    // 4
        echo strpos("abcab", "b",  3);    // 4
        echo strpos("abcab", "b",  2);    // 4
        echo strpos("abcab", "b",  1);    // 1
        echo strpos("abcab", "b",  0);    // 1
        echo strpos("abcab", "b", -1);    // 4
        echo strpos("abcab", "b", -2);    // 1
        echo strpos("abcab", "b", -3);    // 1
        echo strpos("abcab", "b", -4);    // 1
        echo strpos("abcab", "b", -5);    // -1 (not found)
      So, to search from the end of the string you pass -1 as start 
      position.
    + List Management: Added the two MRU tabsets lists.

v10.60.0121 - 2011-12-07 14:12
    * Junctions: When you paste paths with nested junctions (junctions 
      that point to other junctions) into the Address Bar (or any other 
      location port), these junctions now can be silently resolved to 
      the corresponding real paths before any browsing happens. 
      For example (German Win7):
      Going to
        "C:\Documents and Settings\Don\Anwendungsdaten\"
      will now correctly end up in 
        "C:\Users\Don\AppData\Roaming\".
      Before, the attempt would have miserably failed and ended in 
      "C:\Documents and Settings\" (which is just a junction to 
      "C:\Users\").
      Currently experimentally implemented as a tweak:
        ResolveNestedJunctions=1
      The tweak only takes effect under Vista/7 and later, and on drive 
      C:.

    + Sync Select: Now, optionally, if both panes are in Find mode 
      (including Flat View), then Sync Select automatically honors the 
      relative paths of the items (relative to the root path of the 
      search, resp. of the Flat View).
      This option is currently implemented as a tweak:
        SelectSpecialHonorRelativePaths=1
      It might later be added to the Sync Select interface, or, more 
      set-and-forget-like, to the Configuration dialog, not sure yet.
    ! Tab switch to MyComputer and similar special locations did not 
      work anymore for a couple of versions. Fixed.

    * Menu View: In v5.50.0005 - 2007-01-01 12:47 submenus "Views" and 
      "Sort By" were moved one level down to "Tab". Well, I changed my 
      mind about this and moved them (together with "Columns") up again. 
      Reasons: They are too important to be buried that deep. And the 
      tabs context menu (where these three submenus from now on don't 
      appear anymore) was too large (and those submenus are also 
      available in the list white space context menu).
    * Sync Select: Now SelectSpecialHonorRelativePaths also takes effect 
      if only one of the panes is in Find mode.

v10.60.0125 - 2011-12-12 15:38
    + Configuration | Dual Pane: Added option "Sync select honors 
      relative paths". If ticked (= factory default) then in search 
      results, Sync Select automatically honors the relative paths of 
      the items (relative to the root path of the search, resp. of the 
      Flat View).
      Remark: This appears to be a set-and-forget setting, therefore it 
      has been put to the Configuration dialog rather than to the Sync 
      Select dialog. Another reason against putting it into your face is 
      that it only applies to search results listings which probably is 
      a rather untypical use case.
    * Configuration | Startup & Exit | Remember most-recently-used 
      lists: Now "Tabs" and "Tabsets" can be controlled independently.
    ! Menu File | Properties: Did not support multiple files (only the 
      first file's Properties were shown). Fixed.

v10.60.0126 - 2011-12-13 15:46
    + Visual Filters: Now they support environment variables and XY 
      native variables. For example:
      - <date yyyy>
        Shows only items with the current year in the name.
      - %username%
        Shows only items with the current user name in the name. Yay 
        portable filter!
      - %pathext%
        A special case: %pathext% happens to return a list of patterns 
        which is quite compatible with XY's Visual Filter syntax:
          %pathext% => .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH
        So you'd see a list of what the system considers executable 
        files. Yay portable filter!
      Notes:
      - The tab headers show the resolved values of the variables.
      - The MRU list under the VF toolbar button shows the variables.
      - The VF toolbar button's tooltip shows the variable form of the 
        current VF.
      - Visual Filters are stored as variables (e.g. "%username%") only 
        when passed through the Set Visual Filter interface. Visual 
        Filters passed through the Address Bar are resolved (e.g. 
        "Donald") *before* being passed to the Visual Filter engine and 
        stored as the hard invariable value.
    + SC tabset enhanced. Now, for operation "loadas" you can pass the 
      desired name of the clone. In that case no overwriting prompt will 
      appear before any existing tabset of that name is overwritten.
      Syntax: tabset([operation=open], [name], [pane=a], [nameofclone])
          "loadas" = Open/Load a copy of a stored tabset under a new 
                  name, in other words: load a clone.
                - Parameter "name" points to the tabset to load. The 
                  name is resolved relative to the tabsets folder. If 
                  empty then the current tabset is cloned.
                - Parameter "nameofclone" can be used to state the name 
                  of the clone. The name is resolved relative to the 
                  tabsets folder.
      Example:
      //Load a clone named "clone1" of tabset "1" in pane 1:
        tabset("loadas", "1", 1, "clone1");
    * Flat View: Renamed it to "Branch View". Reason: "Flat View" had 
      been trademarked by a competing product.
      Of course, this is just a superficial change regarding the 
      marketing level of the application. Functionally it is still a 
      flat view, and several internal subsurface strings still carry the 
      word "flat" (not trademarked) for backward compatibility reasons.
    * Dual Pane: On switching the active pane the Address Bar now shows 
      any name search parameters of the new active pane (just like on a 
      tab switch to a name search tab).

    + Visual Filters: Now the VF Toolbar button's tooltip and the Status 
      Bar first section's tooltip both show the current Visual Filter 
      pattern, which is the active pattern after any variables have been 
      resolved.
      This is useful when you have a VF like this and want to know what 
      your filter actually looks like:
        "Matching Clipboard" <clipboard>
    ! Visual Filters: For about five weeks (since Sticky Section) 
      toggling different VFs on different tabs did not work as it 
      should. Sometimes the last filter from another tab was applied. 
      Fixed.

v10.60.0128 - 2011-12-14 14:10
    + Menu Tabsets: New command "Open As..." allows you to open a tabset 
      as clone. Useful if you want to keep your original tabsets 
      unchanged.
      The name for the clone is prompted for (defaults to "Clone#", where 
      # stands for the number of the current pane). Note that any 
      existing tabset of the same name as the clone will be overwritten 
      without any warning!
    > Toolbar | Tabsets: Hold CTRL when selecting a tabset from the MRU 
      list to load it as a clone.
    + SC tabset enhanced. New operation "openas" allows you to select a 
      tabset from a folder of your choice and load it as a clone under a 
      name of your choice. Just like with loadas, no overwriting prompt 
      will appear before any existing tabset of that name is 
      overwritten.
      Syntax: tabset([operation=open], [name], [pane=a], [nameofclone])
          "openas" = Open/Load a copy of a stored tabset under a new 
                  name, in other words: load a clone.
                - Parameter "name" points to the folder from which to 
                  select the source tabset. Defaults to the tabsets 
                  folder (<xydata>\Panes).                
                - Parameter "nameofclone" is used to state the name 
                  of the clone. The name is resolved relative to the 
                  tabsets folder.
      Example:
      //Select a tabset and load a clone of it named "clone1":
        tabset("openas", , , "clone1");
      //Select a tabset and load a clone (name is prompted for):
        tabset("openas");
    * SC tabset: Operation "loadas" does not prompt for overwriting 
      anymore even if the name for the clone was prompted for.
    ! List & Tabs: The current tab could get temporarily out of touch 
      with reality after changing list modes, which under certain 
      conditions surfaced as suddenly all columns being shown. Fixed.

    * SC resolvepath: Before, under Vista/Win7 a relative path was 
      returned with a leading ".\", e.g.:
      ::text resolvepath ("C:\Apps\XY\XYplorer.exe", "C:\Apps\", 1);
        Win7: -> .\XY\XYplorer.exe
        XP:   -> XY\XYplorer.exe
      Now under all systems the relative path is returned without ".\".
    * Tabsets: The change above (relative paths format) also affects how 
      tabset names are displayed in Vista/Win7, namely now w/out ".\".

v10.60.0130 - 2011-12-15 12:02
    * Tabsets: Now tabsets opened as clone via Open As are stored as 
      such in the MRU list. Original source name and clone name are 
      separated by " as: ", e.g. "work_1 as: clone1". If you select such 
      a "clone item" from the MRU list, the cloning is repeated exactly 
      as it was done the first time. This makes it very comfortable to 
      work with different cloned (effectively read-only) tabsets.
      Tip: If the current tabset has been loaded as a clone then 
      selecting the first MRU item amounts to a "Revert to Saved".
    + SC tabset enhanced: The above syntax is also supported by both 
      "open" and "load". Remember that "open" offers you a list of 
      tabsets to choose from, whereas "load" directly loads a specific 
      tabset.
      Examples for "load":
      // open tabset "work_1" as "clone1"
        tabset("load", "work_1 as: clone1");
      // open current tabset as "clone1"
        tabset("load", " as: clone1");
      // open tabset "work_1" as clone (prompt for name of clone)  
        tabset("load", "work_1 as: ");
      // open current tabset as clone (prompt for name of clone)  
        tabset("load", " as: ");
      Examples for "open":
      // select a tabset in E:\Tabsets and open as "clone1"
        tabset("open", "E:\Tabsets as: clone1");
      // select a tabset and open as "clone1"
        tabset("open", " as: clone1");
      // select a tabset and open as clone (prompt for name of clone)  
        tabset("open", " as: ");
    * Menu View | Folder View Settings: Renamed two commands to 
      something less confusing:
      - OLD: Save Folder View As...
        NEW: Apply this Folder View Also To...
      - OLD: Save Folder View As Default
        NEW: Define this Folder View as Default
