v24.20.0536 - 2023-04-11 12:25
    + SC rename enhanced: Added a new value to the "flags" parameter for 
      "Process in reverse order".
      Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
                  [itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
        flags: (binary field, defaults to 1)
          256: Process in reverse order.
      Notes:
        - This flag is especially interesting when automatic increments are added when 
          renaming multiple items at the same time. It allows you to number the items from 
          the bottom up which is nice and natural when the list is sorted by Modified 
          descending.
      Examples:
        rename b, <clipboard>, p, , 256;  //Process in reverse order; preview
        rename b, <clp>, 4:=256;  //Process in reverse order
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.164.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.164.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:

    * Updated the help file.
    ! Miscellaneous | Tree | Optimize Tree: Error 9 (Subscript out of range) possible 
      under unclear conditions. Probably fixed.
    ! SC tab: The data (location) parameter on operation "new" did not support relative 
      path syntax. Fixed.
        tab(new, "<xyscripts>\..");  //new tab points to parent of <xyscripts>

    + SC inputselect | Style 1024: Now you can use "*.<DIR>" to specify the generic folder

    ! SC paperfolder: Since 20230110, with "Explicit Save Only" enabled, you could not add 
      items to a new Paper Folder ("n" switch) anymore via script. Fixed.

v24.20.0527 - 2023-04-08 12:24
    + Network: Extended the support for WSL. Now "\\wsl.?*\" is accepted as valid 
      server name (?*\ stands for at least one following character before the next \).
    * Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Play a sound at the end 
      of certain operations: Renamed to "Play a sound on certain events".      
    % SC ces enhanced: Improved the "Edit Event Sounds" dialog.
        ces(); //show "Edit Event Sounds" dialog
      - Now the defined sound is played when you double-click the Event cell.
      - The dialog will move to Configuration once the feature is in a solid state.
    * Custom Event Sounds: Changes in terms and keys (incl INI keys this time):

        Search finished                           *3                FIND
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * Custom Event Sounds | FIND: The sound is not played anymore for Branch Views, nor on 
      switching toward a search results tab (I found that confusing).

v24.20.0526 - 2023-04-07 12:54
    * Custom Event Sounds: Rewrote the whole thing. There are 10 events now (totally 
      changed the internal order and added a new one), and some of them are set by factory 
      default to one of 4 internal sounds (the Default Event Sounds) using the *# syntax.

        All Background Copy/Move Done (Errors)                    ABFOCE
        New Item Created                                          NEW

        Search Finished                         *3                FIND
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The upgrade should work smoothly though since the INI keys use names, not numbers.
    + Default Event Sounds: Added one more (plop!), played when an item is deleted.
    + SC ces enhanced: Added another event.
      Syntax: ces(event, [soundfile], [threshold])
        event:
          abfoce: All Background Copy/Move Done (Errors).
      Example:
        ces("abfoce", "honk.wav"); //all back jobs done, there were errors
     + SC ces: Experimentally added a GUI access to Custom Event Sounds. Spare me bug 
       reports, I know it's still raw.
        ces(); //show "Edit Event Sounds" dialog

        soundfile:
                    *1: use internal sound #1
                    *2: use internal sound #2
      Examples:
        ces("ffoc", "*1"); //use internal sound #1
        ces("ffoc", "*2"); //use internal sound #2
    + SC ces enhanced: Added a few more events just because a little audible feedback 
      might give you the same weird satisfaction as it did me.
      Syntax: ces(event, [soundfile], [threshold])
        event:
          new: A new item was created.
          ren: An item was renamed.
          del: An item was deleted.

        ces("del", "bottle_pop_2.wav"); //sound on delete

      ces.

    + Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Miscellaneous: Added option "Play 
      a sound at the end of a file operation". Tick it to get what it says.
      Remarks:
      - There are two embedded (via resource) Default Event Sounds now for completed file 
        operations, one for "all went well", one for "there were errors". One of the two 
        will always play if the setting is enabled, for foreground as well as for 
        background operations, and regardless of how long the operation lasted.
      - Custom Event Sounds defined by SC ces() override the setting of "Play a sound at 
        the end of a file operation" and replace the Default Event Sounds.
    * Custom Event Sounds: Changed the default path from <xydata> to <xydata>\Sounds.
    * SC ces: Now the sound is played after you set it, or when you just show the definition:
        echo ces("ffoc"); //show the current settings, and play the sound

    + Custom Event Sounds: Added event FFOCE. Played when a foreground file operation 
      finished with errors or was cancelled (i.e. when FFOC is not played).
        ces("ffoce", "Cowbell.wav", 0);
    + Custom Event Sounds: Added event BFOCE. Played when a background file operation 
      finished with errors or was cancelled (i.e. when BFOC is not played).
        ces("bfoce", "Cowbell.wav", 0);
    * Custom Event Sounds | FFOC: Now it always comes when an operation finished without 
      errors and without being cancelled, even if no actual file operations happened, e.g. 
      because an overwrite was skipped according to user settings.
    * SC CES: The return now is "EVENT: soundfile | threshold", for example:
        echo ces("ffoc"); // FFOC: Blurp.wav | 0
    * SC CES: Now there is feedback in the status bar, eg: FFOCE: Cowbell.wav | 0

      were selected after an operation using wildcards. Fixed. Jobs like this will not

      Name:   CES ("Custom Event Sound")
      Action: Lets you define a sound that will be played on certain events.
      Syntax: ces(event, [soundfile], [threshold])
        event: Event that triggers the sound. Currently the following events are supported:
          ffoc: Foreground file operation completed.
          bfoc: Background file operation completed.
          abfoc: All background file operations completed.
        soundfile: Full or relative path to a WAV file.
                   Path defaults to app data path (<xydata>).
                   Missing: Setting remains unchanged.
        threshold: Number of seconds the operation has to take at least in order to 
                   trigger the sound.
                   Set it to 0 to always play the sound regardless of the duration of the 
                   operation.
                   Set it to -1 so as not to play the sound.
                   Missing: Setting remains unchanged.
        return:    Current "soundfile|threshold".
      Examples:
        ces("ffoc", "Blurp.wav", 0);  //always play "<xydata>/Blurp.wav" after a foreground job
        ces("ffoc", "");   //remove the soundfile setting: don't play anything at this event

        ces("ffoc", , 60); //keep the soundfile, set the threshold to 60 seconds
        echo ces("ffoc"); //just show the current settings
      Remarks:
      - This raises the sound-related tweaks FJSoundJobDone etc to scripting-level. While 
        doing this the keys have been changed to "SoundFFOC", "SoundFFOC_t", etc.
      - I finally decided to change the default path for the older tweaks BJSoundJobDone 
        and BJSoundAllDone from <xypath> to <xydata>. After all they were just tweaks.

To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
