v28.10.0412 - 2026-01-18 15:32
    + SC ctbicon enhanced: Added ways to remove a property.
        ctbicon(" *"); //remove icon, keep background color
        ctbicon("* "); //remove background color, keep icon
    + Extension Hack Protection: 
      The problem:
      - Trailing spaces are illegal in Windows filenames.
      - The shell will fail to open such a file.
      - In that case XYplorer falls back to opening it with ShellExecuteW.
      - The ShellExecuteW API will also fail, but then it will fall back and open another 
        file where the invalid name serves as the base and is followed by any other 
        extension, including executable extensions. Madness!
      The solution:
      - XYplorer will refuse to open such a file.

To easily upgrade to this BETA version of XYplorer (64-bit), hold down the CTRL key and 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 may contain new bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA. This will also help to fix any new bugs.

    + SC ctbicon enhanced: You can now omit the background color and change only the icon,

        ctbicon("Apple_Half.ico*"); //change icon, keep background color
    * SC ctbicon: The # before the RRGGBB color value is now optional.
        ctbicon("Apple.ico*#F616F6,r"); //set icon, with background color (rect shape)
        ctbicon("Apple.ico*F616F6,r");  //same
      Also in the Edit User Button dialog you can skip the #.

    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters | 
      Enable extended pattern matching: If enabled then a pattern can be fully enclosed in 
      parentheses without changing its function. For example:
        *.ico;*.jpg         match all ICO and JPG files
        (*.ico;*.jpg)       match all ICO and JPG files

    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: A <crlf> in the name now stands for a CRLF not only in the 
      tooltip (added in v28.00.1216 - 2025-12-10 13:01) but also in the button caption if 
      captions are shown.
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Outlook Drop: Due to a tB bug, messages that were dropped into a folder in the tree 
      ended up in the "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook after the drop was completed. 
      Worked around. Now, they stay where they are.

    ! Searching, Filtering, Coloring by Date Ranges:
      - Help File: Several examples in the help file used the German date format but 
        failed to mention that it would not work in countries with different formats. Fixed.
      - Open ranges did not work, for example:
          dateC: 2025-09-24 -         match all dates from 2025-09-24 00:00:00
          dateC: - 2025-09-23         match all dates till 2025-09-23 23:59:59
        Fixed.
    ! List: In larger lists with slow custom columns, clicking on an item while the list 
      is refreshing may cause the wrong item to be selected and added to the current 
      selection. Fixed. Now, clicks and keystrokes in the list are completely blocked 
      while it refreshes.

      the focus is in the edit box above it using the Down, Up, Page Down, and Page Up keys.
    * Paper Folders: If "Explicit Save Only" is off, then renaming a file in a PF now 
      immediately updates the PF in memory and on disk so it stays in sync with reality.

    * Tree: Now by factory default (fresh instance), horizontal auto-scrolling on 
      drag-over doesn't happen anymore. You can tweak it back though:
        TreeNoHoriScroll=0
    - Tweak ScriptUnindent: Removed.
    ! Scripting | Constants: The optional count parameter for repetition (supported by 
      <crlf>, <cr>, <lf>, <space>, and <tab>) did not work correctly for values between 5 
      and 21. For example:
        text <crlf 17>;

    + Tweak TreeNoHoriScroll: Extended to a small bit field:
        TreeNoHoriScroll=1    = suppress the horizontal scrollbar in the tree
        TreeNoHoriScroll=2    = suppress horizontal auto-scrolling on drag-over
    ! Sorting: Since 20251208, sorting could result in incorrect (apparently random) order 
      if the primary or secondary sort column contained empty items. The bug was so 
      fundamental that, theoretically, parts beyond sorting could also be affected. Fixed.
