v18.90.0101 - 2018-04-11 21:02
    + SC rename enhanced: Added a new mode "l" ("list") that corresponds to the 
      GUI command "File | Rename Special | Edit Item Names...".
      Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e|l)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
                  [itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
        mode:
          l, list:  Invokes the "Edit Item Names" interface.
                    The "pattern" argument can hold predefined new names to 
                    prefill the "Edit Item Names" dialog with. The names in that 
                    dialog will be applied to the selected list items after 
                    OK-ing the dialog and the following rename preview.
      Remarks:
        The selected list items are renamed top to bottom (just like with the 
        GUI command).
      Examples:
        rename "l"; //dialog is filled with current item names
        rename "l", "Don2017.jpg|Don2018.jpg"; //dialog is filled with passed names
        rename "list", "Don2017.jpg|Don2018.jpg"; //"list" is just a verbose alternative to "l"        
    ! Aspect Ratio Column: Some ratios would be formatted as if there were dates 
      (e.g. 1.18:1 ---> 1899-12-30 01:18:01). Fixed.      

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

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.

v18.90.0002 - 2018-03-23 10:46
    - MLS: The "Please Select a Language" dialog is not shown anymore on virgin 
      startup (as added in 13.70.0138 - 2014-02-19 10:29). Reason: People panic 
      when a new app calls the internet right away on startup.
    * Cut and Paste: Now the clipboard is not automatically cleared anymore 
      after cut and paste.
    ! Tree: The name in the inline rename box lost its auto-selection state when 
      some resizing of the box was needed in order to make space for the 
      Filename Length Info. Fixed.

    ! Use standard shell drag and drop: The fix from v18.80.0020 was not good 
      enough for Win 7. Tried again.
    ! Open Throw Away Clone: Drawing glitch with ReadOnlyBar with non-stacked 
      Address Bar and Toolbar. Fixed.
    ! Tree: Had issues selecting folders with names ending on more than one dot. 
      Fixed.
      FYI, such folders can only be created by command prompt: mkdir abc..\\\
      They are not really legal, and File Explorer has lots of problems with 
      them. Definitely not recommended to do this.

v18.90.0000 - 2018-03-21 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Drag Status Box. The Drag Status Box™ is a color-coded information box 
      shown at the mouse pointer when hovering over a drop target.
  +++ Prevent Unwanted Dragging. Now you can disallow dragging from folder tree 
      and file list independently. Lets you for example protect the tree from 
      potentially disastrous drag-and-drop mistakes while keeping the list 
      drag-ready to rock.
  +++ Toolbar Font Size. Now Ctrl+Wheel over the Toolbar changes the button 
      captions font size on the fly and with high granularity.

    * Tree: Now you cannot collapse the top node (This PC) anymore. Nobody needs 
      this shocking experience.
    ! Use standard shell drag and drop: This setting could lead to a crash or 
      other weird side effects when among the dragged items was at least one 
      overlong (longer than 259 characters) item. The shell cannot handle this 
      stuff. Well, XYplorer can. From now on, dragging silently switches to 
      XYplorer's native dragging machine in cases where shell dragging is unable 
      to cope.
    ! Some menus and tooltips containing folder names like e.g.
        "E:\0\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 
        AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 
        AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\" 
      could not handle this monster gracefully, i.e. without spreading over the 
      whole screen. Fixed

    ! List: Drawing glitch with multi-line thumbnail captions at certain font 
      sizes. Fixed.
    ! List: On v18.70.0004 - 2018-01-29 12:39 this was done:
        Drawing glitch (needlessly ellipsed captions) with font Code2000 11 
        due to Windows XP API bug (Win XP only). Worked around
      But it was not limited to XP. Fixed. Now it is.

v18.80.0014 - 2018-03-16 17:08
    + Open Throw Away Clone: Added tweak ReadOnlyBar to specify whether a 
      window-wide color bar should be shown in READ-ONLY instances, and how it 
      should look.
      The value should have three ;-separated fields. If this condition is not 
      met no color bar is shown. General format:
        ReadOnlyBar=Backcolor(RRGGBB);Textcolor(RRGGBB);Text
      Example: 
        ReadOnlyBar=D7CDC3;000000;>>> READ-ONLY <<<
      ReadOnlyBar also sounds like a nice place for thrown-away clones to hang 
      out.

v18.80.0013 - 2018-03-15 21:42
    * Open Throw Away Clone: Now the READ-ONLY instance is dramatically marked 
      as such by a window-wide sky-blue color bar. I barely stopped myself from 
      using the colors of "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri".
    ! Links: Fixed some glitches concerning left- and right-dragging onto items 
      in the Links folder. Now you can also drag onto EXEs (Open With) and ZIPs 
      (Drop Into).

v18.80.0011 - 2018-03-15 14:27
    * Drag Status Box: Now when hovering over special paths (aka display paths), 
      the box now shows the special path instead of the real path, e.g. 
      "Donald\Sub" instead of "C:\Users\Donald\Sub".
    ! Drag Status Box: Wrong icon for folders when these two were ticked:
      - Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Use generic icons for 
        super-fast browsing
      - Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Apply to all controls
      Fixed.
    ! List: On Vertical Grid Lines enabled the cropped caption info tip popped 
      in the Name column even when nothing was cropped. Fixed.
    * Tree: Now you cannot initialize dragging anymore from a half-row at the 
      bottom. A good little safety-belt against unwanted drag operations.
    ! Tree: Under certain conditions you could not click a half-row at the 
      bottom and browse it. The row was just scrolled into view on mouse-down, 
      which also felt irritating. Fixed. Now it's scrolled into view on mouse-up 
      and then browsed.
    ! SC hash: Flag 2 was ignored when file spec was passed:
        hash("md5", $filePath, 3);
      Fixed.

    + Drag Status Box: Now also shown for right-button dragging. The default 
      color is a light green.
    * Drag Status Box Colors: The color for right-button dragging has been 
      appended to the default values at key DragStatusClasses. This is now the 
      factory default:
        DragStatusClasses=5495DC|FEA311|81409C|A0A0A0|C7E6B7
      Upgraders: Your customizations will be reset by this upgrade! Well, it's a 
      brand-new feature in progress. To keep your custom colors you can manually 
      edit the INI key and append a 5th color before starting the new version.

    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Safety Belts: Added 
      "Disallow left-dragging from file list". Was previously subsumed under 
      "Disallow left-dragging from tree and list".
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Safety Belts: Renamed 
      "Disallow left-dragging from tree and list" to "Disallow left-dragging 
      from folder tree". Now it only affects dragging from the tree.
    > So now you can protect the tree from potentially disastrous drag-and-drop 
      mistakes, while keeping the list drag-ready to rock.
