    * "Dropped messages" turned out to be not working so well with 
      Outlook yet (work is in progress). It does work though with Outlook 
      Express (fields <subject> and <date ...>), so I renamed it to 
      "Dropped *.eml messages" for the time being.
    * "Select by Selected Type(s)": changed the keyboard shortcut from 
      Ctrl+Shift+M to Ctrl+Alt+M! This is in analogy to Ctrl+Alt+J of 
      "Filter by Selected Extension(s)". Easier to remember like this.
    * "Filter by Selected Extension(s)": now also "extensions" of folder 
      names are recognized by the filter (while the Extension column of 
      folders is kept empty).
    ! When pasting via the list's white space context menu, that context 
      menu could not be popped again until the file operation was 
      finished. Now it can be popped again.

  +++ Dropping messages (from Outlook and Outlook Express) and saving 
      them to files with template-configured names does work now!
      The following fields are available for the template which you can 
      define in Configuration|Report:
      - <from>    e-mail address or, if given, name of the sender
      - <to>      e-mail address or, if given, name of the receiver
      - <subject> subject line of the message
      - <date>    local (at yours) date/time when message was sent
      A template may, for example, look like this:
        <from>_<to>_<subject>_<date yyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss>
      You can freely change the order of the fields and pack any text 
      strings before, after or between them. Do not add the extension to 
      the template -- it is done automatically, and mind the space after 
      "<date". If you just put <date> without specifiying the format, the 
      format will default to yyyy-mm-dd_hh-nn-ss.
    + Dropping messages: added select-on-drop.

v5.40.0033 - 26.11.06 20:09
    ! Dropping a message from Outlook raised an error if the message did 
      not contain a "message header" stream. Fixed: no more error.
      Note that messages without a "message header" stream will populate 
      only the <subject> field. In this case the template will be 
      internally set to "<subject>" so that you don't see the bones and 
      remains of unavailable fields in the file name.
    ! In-place tooltips for List did not work anymore. Fixed.

    * Experimentally, on network drives (UNC or mapped) freshly 
      displayed tree folders are not checked for any contained 
      subfolders anymore, but it is assumed that subfolders exist. In 
      other words: the "+" icon is set unconditionally. This strategy, 
      which is common among file managers, will speed up network 
      browsing considerably.
      This new behavior is not yet configurable. Just testing...
    ! Crash on start up when start path pointed to a non-existing drive 
      (removed USB-stick etc.). Fixed.

v5.40.0037 - 30.11.06 10:15
    + Configuration|General: Added option "Check existence of subfolders 
      for tree nodes". If turned ON then all freshly displayed tree 
      folders are checked for any contained subfolders (and depending on 
      the result a "+" is display in front of them, or not). If OFF then 
      it is simply *assumed* that subfolders exist, and the "+" icon is 
      set unconditionally. Turning it OFF will speed up browsing the tree 
      c-o-n-s-i-d-e-r-a-b-l-y. You won't believe it...
      *** NOTE: If you are upgrading from a previous installation you 
      have to actively check this option to have XYplorer work as before 
      the option was added. Else you might wonder why browsing the tree 
      is so fast suddenly... ;)
    + Configuration|General: Added an additional (to the above) option 
      "On network drives as well". Turn it OFF to have the speed booster 
      only where it is really needed: on slow drives (high-latency 
      networks).
    * Configuration: moved "Disallow dragging from tree and list" to 
      Advanced to make space on General. (Sigh! I really need to add that 
      tree interface to config...)
    + If subfolder existence is generally not resolved, it is now at 
      least resolved for the current tree folder. This can be done very 
      quickly because, after browsing, the list can tell the tree all 
      about it... :)
    * Menu File|Info To Clipboard: Ctrl+Shift+P now triggers "[Copy] 
      Item Name(s)". Before, it triggered "[Copy] Item Path(s)".
    + Visual Filters now work in Find mode, too! Performance costs are 
      hardly measurable if VF is off; costs are higher if it is on, of 
      course, depending on the complexity of the filter.

    % You won't note it probably, but if you had a very slow computer 
      you would now enjoy the experience of a 3-times speed boost in 
      painting the tree! :)
    ! Tried to fix mysterious Vista issue with drag&drop ctx menu.

    ! 7-day old bug when writing tab-related information to freshly 
      created INI. Fixed.
    ! Setting Visual Filter did not work from the tab headers' right-
      click menu of non-current tabs. Fixed. Now, using Ctrl+Alt+J, you 
      can even set the Visual Filter of any non-current tab based on the 
      selections of the current list! Nice.
    * Now, setting a Visual Filter on a finding tab will refresh the 
      current search without creating a "New Tab" or change to a "Search 
      Results" tab regardless of the settings on Find Files|Options.

v5.40.0040 - 05.12.06 10:00
    + Catalog's Context Menu|Import as New Category Here: added command 
      "Current List". Will create a new catalog category auto-named to 
      "Current List", and add to it all items currently listed in the list 
      view (regardless of the selectedness). Note that the items are added 
      in the order in which there are currently shown.
      This feature allows you, for example, to easily store search 
      results for later reuse. It is another step toward the long 
      planned full-blown Drop Stack functionality (where you will be 
      able to actually re-display those category items in the list).
    * Catalog's Context Menu: moved "Refresh All Icons" somewhat down 
      and to its own section.
    + Catalog: added shortcut Alt+Enter to open the Properties dialog of 
      the current item.
    + Catalog: added automatic path name completion to the Destination 
      field of the Properties dialog. Local folders as well as files and 
      URLs are suggested.
    * MP3 Preview: song length is now given more precisely down to the 
      millisecond. Also the average bitrate of VBR (variable bit rate) 
      encoded files is shown with 2 decimal digits.
    ! Media Preview: when Auto-Play was off the preview was not set to 
      "Paused" state when opening a new file, and consequently a right-
      click on the progress bar did actually start playing the media 
      instead of just setting a new position but keep being paused. 
      Fixed.
    ! The Visual Filter visual indicator (blue/marked color of tab 
      heading) was not 100% reliable due to rare rounding errors. Fixed.

And tomorrow you'll get this little change (which came to my mind just 1 second after upload... )

    * Catalog's Context Menu|Import as New Category Here|Current List:

    ! MP3 Preview: depending on your installed codecs, some VBR 
      (variable bit rate) encoded MP3s did not preview as expected but 
      stop before the end was reached. Fixed.
    * Catalog's Context Menu|Import as New Category Here|Current List: 
      now, IF there are selections, then only the selected items will be 
      added (else all items).
    * Move To/Copy To/Backup To dialogs:
      - Browse button now has caption (not just 3 dots) and accelerator.
      - Changed the tab order to: first textbox, then Browse button, 
        then MRU list.
      - MRU list's selection is not dark-blue anymore when the list is 
        unfocused, but the usual unfocused-selection-color (actual color 
        depends on your color scheme).

      open the selected list item(s) with command line arguments of your 
      choice. The last used arguments are saved between sessions.
    ! MP3 Preview: fixing VBR issues, try #2.
    ! Accelerators were missing in Vista. Fixed.

    + Now you can (again! - the feature had been suspended temporarily 
      in v5.20.0022) create internet shortcuts (*.url) by drag-dropping 
      links (from IE and the like) onto tree, list, tab headers, or 
      catalog. Improving the earlier version of the feature, now the 
      default filename is set correctly to the title of the link as stated 
      in the source document (e.g. an HTML webpage).
    ! Cutting to clipboard was not correctly recognized (but instead 
      treated as Copying) in Win9x. Fixed.

    + Media Preview: added *.flv (Flash Video) format. Which means: now, 
      XYplorer can offline-replay YouTube videos!
      Here is how: While playing a YouTube video, visit your "Temporary 
      Internet Files" cache folder and search for files called 
      "get_video[1]". The newest of them should be the video just playing. 
      Copy it to some other place and rename it to "YourTitle.flv" (or 
      "Copy As..." it in one go). Voila, XYplorer can play them in the 
      Preview tab. If it does not work, you might want to install the "K-
      Lite Mega Codec Pack".
    + Catalog context menu: now the Copy command is disabled when an 
      item is not copyable (e.g. URLs, or name searches).
    * Catalog now is #4 in the tab stop queue after Tree, List, Address 
      Bar.
v5.40.0044 - 10.12.06 08:09
    ! Creating internet shortcuts (*.url) by drag-dropping links did not 
      work from Firefox. Foxed, uh fixed.

  +++ Outlook drop: now it works with Outlook 2003 (ff.) as well! This 
      is great news, and it was a L-O-T of work. Another XY-only
      highlight and quite interesting stuff especially for companies I 
      would think...
    ! Outlook drop: multi-attachment-drop did not get the filenames 
      right. Fixed.
    * Outlook drop: if for some reason the <to>, <from>, and <date> 
      fields cannot be retrieved, the name template auto-defaults to 
      "<subject>". Well, since the big bug fix above, this should not 
      happen very often ;)
    ! Under the Find files panel, ALT+I shared both the Invert option 
      and the Find Now button. Fixed.

    * Customize Toolbar: gave a clearer and more standard selection 
      style to the button lists.
    + Toolbar: added special context menus to the toolbar buttons "Move 
      To...", "Copy To...", "Backup To...", and "Go to Last Target", 
      featuring all 4 commands in each of them. So you can have only one 
      (most used) button on the toolbar but quickly access the other 
      commands as well.  
    + Toolbar: added special context menus to the toolbar buttons "Cut", 
      "Copy", and "Paste", featuring all 3 commands plus "Paste 
      Special..." in each of them. Just making your life a bit easier once 
      more.
    + Toolbar: added a special context menu to the "Hotlist" toolbar 
      button, featuring these commands:
        Hotlist...      Ctrl+H
        Breadcrumb...   Ctrl+Backspace
        History...
        -
        Drives...

        Customize Toolbar...
    ! Auto-Refresh lost one turn after an illegal file operation. For 
      example, after a Cut & Paste into the same location (illegal), the 
      next legal file operation was not auto-refreshed. Fixed.    
    ! The focus line in certain lists and the catalog was not rendered 
      correctly in all color schemes. It was actually invisible in the 
      color scheme for visually impaired. Fixed.
