    ! Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: Did not work right if "Configuration | 
      General | Startup & Exit | Include beta versions" was ticked or CTRL was held while 
      clicking it. Fixed.
    ! Visual Filter: Toggling a Visual Filter in a Branch View while an item is selected 
      and focused should not change the root directory of the branch view to that item. 
      Obviously. Fixed.

v27.90.0050 - 2025-09-21 19:35
    * App Data Folder: Changed the default strategy. Now the 64-bit version uses 
      "%appdata%\XYplorer64" by default (defined in Startup.ini).
    + Upgrading to 64-bit version: If "%appdata%\XYplorer64" does not exist but 
      "%appdata%\XYplorer" does, then "%appdata%\XYplorer64" is optionally (there is a 
      prompt) created as a clone of "%appdata%\XYplorer" at startup.
      That way, when upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit, the 64-bit version can smoothly 
      inherit an existing 32-bit configuration without overwriting it, and without nuking 
      it when the 32-bit version is eventually uninstalled (which many users are likely to 
      do).
    > Note: The above only happens if you install the 64-bit version for the first time, 
      because Startup.ini is never overwritten by subsequent installations. You can 
      however manually edit Startup.ini to point to "%appdata%\XYplorer64":
        [Appdata]
        Path=%appdata%\XYplorer64
      On the next start, if "%appdata%\XYplorer64" does not exist, you will be prompted to 
      copy "%appdata%\XYplorer" as "%appdata%\XYplorer64".
    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0010.
    * Updated the help file. From now on the 64-bit is separate from the 32-bit one.
      Btw, the 64-bit Help file is now called XYplorer.chm again (was XYplorer64.chm).

v27.90.0046 - 2025-09-15 12:13
    ! Bytes Display: When the decimal symbol and the digit grouping symbol (DGS) were set 
      to the same character in the system number format settings (a clear user error but 
      tolerated by Windows), any numbers featuring the DGS were cut at the leftmost DGS 
      because the system inserted a null character as the DGS (crass move!).
      This was already partially fixed in v20.30.0018 - 2019-09-06 12:48 but only 
      partially. Now the fix is complete and the result looks different: You won't see any 
      DGS in that situation anymore, which should alert you to revisit your number format 
      settings and correct the error.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0009.
    ! Paper Folders: When applying a Branch View to a Paper Folder, the indenting did not 
      always work. Fixed.
    ! Paper Folders In Tree: PFIT was introduced in v14.80.0219 - 2015-01-29 13:03 ("mild 
      inofficial support") but never made it to become an official feature. Still, bugs 
      related to PFIT should be fixed, of course: When toggling Branch View on a Paper 
      Folder with Mini Tree enabled, that Paper Folder was automatically added to the 
      tree. This should not happen, and it didn't work well at all when the Paper Folder 
      was stated with a full path. Fixed.

    + Thumbnail Cache: By default, the cache is automatically updated for each file whose 
      modified date has changed since the cache was written. You can now skip this service 
      by setting this tweak:
        CacheIgnoreModified=1
    * Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Row Colors: Changed the factory default so that 
      Color Filter text colors are shown while Show Folder Row Colors is enabled.
        OLD: "664B34,F6F0E0"
        NEW: ",F6F0E0"
      Upgraders can achieve the same by running this script:
        interfacecolors(",F6F0E0", 2);        
    ! Hover Box: Under certain conditions, the icon in the status area could fail to be 
      retrieved (instead, the question mark icon was shown) when a junction was in the 
      path. Fixed.
    ! SC gettoken: The combination of a delimiter longer than one character, a negative 
      index, and the flag "Return from start" could result in wrong returns. Fixed.
      Example:
        echo gettoken("A-|-B-|-C-|--|-", -4, "-|-", , 1); //was "", but is now correctly "A-|-B"

    ! System Icons: In some contexts, e.g. Hover Box, system icons could not be retrieved 
      (showed the question mark icon instead) for items that contained Unicode characters 
      in the name AND had a junction in the path (weird but true; must be a bug in one 
      Windows API; maybe only Win8.1, didn't check). Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: When moving or copying folders with "Rename folders on collision" and 
      "Preserve all item dates" enabled, and "On name collision" set to "Suffix increment 
      to copy", the dates of the copy (the folder with the suffixed increment) were 
      actually not preserved but set to now. Fixed.
      Can't say when this bug started, but it looks like it's been around forever.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0008.

    ! Scripting: Scripting failed when processing fractional calculation results if the 
      locale used a decimal separator other than a dot. This is because regionalization

    + Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort: Added option "Treat hyphens and 
      apostrophes like normal characters".
      Background: Unless it's a binary comparison, Windows's string comparison treats 
      hyphens and apostrophes in a special way that might not produce the desired sort 
      order. Now you are in control. For example:
        Not ticked:         Ticked:
          File.txt            File.txt
          File'A.txt          File'A.txt
          File-A.txt          File'C.txt
          FileB.txt           File-A.txt
          File'C.txt          File-C.txt
          File-C.txt          FileB.txt
      Remarks:
        - This setting only affects the Text and Natural sort methods.
        - And it only affects sorting in the main file list. Not in the folder tree and 
          not anywhere else.
        - Ticking this setting will slow down sorting a tiny bit, so if you don't need it, 
          don't tick it.
    ! Main Menu: Checkmarks in a submenu are not always updated when using the integrated 
      menu bar on the toolbar. Fixed.
