v18.60.0002 - 2017-12-16 19:43
    + Configuration | Startup & Exit: Added option "Save changes to disk 
      immediately". Tick it to immediately write settings to disk in the moment 
      they are changed. Under the adjacent "Apply To..." button you can define 
      which changes are saved to disk. These options are available:
        - Catalog
        - Favorites
        - Folder View Settings
        - Keyboard Shortcuts
        - Tags      
        - User-Defined Commands
      Notes:
      - The assumption here is that changes in these categories are usually 
        meant to be permanent across sessions, and/or are something you would 
        not like to lose by hazard.
      - Note, however, that the feature has advantages and disadvantages:
        * Advantage: Your changes are fixed to disk and protected from loss by 
          crash.
        * Disadvantage: If you make a mistake your previous good settings are 
          overwritten and nothing can bring them back (unless you still find a 
          good backup).
      - The "Favorites" option includes Favorite Folders, Favorite Files, 
        Highlighted Folders, Boxed Branches.
        And since there is no separate disk file for Favorites but they are 
        kept in XYplorer.ini, XYplorer.ini will be written on changing a 
        favorite.
      - I personally would not use this feature since I'm a control freak and 
        have automato-phobia. I just like to decide myself when to save what.
        But I can see that not everybody is like me, hence I added it. :)
    - Configuration | Information | Tags: Removed option "Save changes to disk 
      immediately" (added v18.50.0204 - 2017-11-16 18:45).
      It's replaced now by the sub-option "Tags" in "Configuration | Startup & 
      Exit | Save changes to disk immediately".
    + Self Update: Now any errors when calling the installer are handled/shown 
      and the app is closed only when the installer is called successfully.

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.

v18.60.0001 - 2017-12-14 17:01
    % Tabs: Switching to a Find tab did not immediately fill the list with the
      incoming search results (as it's done when triggering the same search 
      right from the tab). This had been done so in 20120612 apparently for a 
      smoother tab switch, but now I think it's rather confusing so I changed 
      it. Results are now shown as they stream in.
    ! Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: Improved a slightly misleading 
      message when checking for new beta versions (by holding CTRL).
    ! Catalog: Tooltips would not vanish when over scrollbar. Fixed.
    ! Quick Search: Window title "Quick Search: <search term> ..." remained 
      after removing the Quick Search or changing to a non-search tab. Since 
      20170915. Fixed.

v18.50.0306 - 2017-12-08 15:14
    + Tweak to enable support for the Scroll Lock key:
        MindScrollLock=1
      Support for the Scroll Lock key had been experimentally implemented in 
      v17.20.0103 - 2016-10-05 11:08 and hard-set to ON. Now it's OFF by default 
      and you can tweak it on.
    ! Custom Columns: Icons in Custom Columns would draw over the next column 
      without mercy. Now the drawing is clipped if the icon column is too narrow.
    ! Scripting: Parsing issue with block comments after NOWDOCs. Fixed.

    ! Touchscreen Mode: Icons in Custom Columns did not scale yet. Fixed.
    ! Uninstall: Registry settings made through "Configuration | Shell 
      Integration | Default File Manager" were not auto-removed on uninstall 
      when XYplorer was started it with admin permissions and "Configuration | 
      Shell Integration | Default File Manager | Scope" was set to "For all 
      users of this computer". Fixed.

v18.50.0304 - 2017-11-30 16:10
    + Configuration | Preview | Image preview | Transparency grid: Now you can 
      customize the two checkerboard grid colors. Color 1 is the first top-left 
      checker field. As usual in XY, left-clicking the color field opens the 
      Choose Color dialog, right-clicking resets to the factory default color.
      Factory defaults:
        GridColor1=16777215   '= 0xFFFFFF
        GridColor2=14540253   '= 0xDDDDDD
      Note: The colors are also used for the transparency grid shown for 
      thumbnails (Configuration | Thumbnails | Show transparency grid).
      Tip: If you don't want the checkerboard grid but just one particular color 
      simply set both colors to that same value.

    ! List: This change from v17.60.0006 - 2017-02-26 16:13 was really badly 
      implemented:
        "In Search Results & Branch View, dragging a non-root file onto another 
        non-root file moved file to root folder of search/branch. This was 
        rather confusing. It will not happen anymore. Now for moving a file to 
        the root you have to drag it onto the empty space."
      - It only applied to non-first items in the target list.
      - It also applied to modes other than Search Results and Branch View.
      - It only applied when source and target were on the same drive.
      Gosh, that wasn't my best day. Anyway, it's all fixed now.

v18.50.0210 - 2017-11-20 16:54
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: sysdebug
      Action: Sends a string to the system debugger via API OutputDebugString.
      Syntax: sysdebug string
      Example:
        sysdebug "any string";
      Remarks:
      - SysInternals has a tool "DebugView" to view the system debugger:
        https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/downloads/debugview
        It will show the sent strings in real time in a list.
      - Unicode characters are not supported due to an age old Windows bug.
        They are shown as "?".
      - This command is not officially supported (no mention in help).
    * Color Filters: Just to make sure (it has never been claimed otherwise), 
      patterns with groups, e.g. "[a-z]" are not allowed in Color Filters, only 
      wildcards *, ?, #.
    ! Color Filters: Filters with invalid patterns could crash the app. Fix #2.
