v16.90.0210 - 2016-06-14 22:27
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Now when you use invalid switches you get a 
      warning and the search is aborted before even starting.
    + 64-bit Context Menu: The menu key trick did not work in the Tree yet. 
      Now it does:
        -      Menu Key: 32-bit Context Menu
        - Ctrl+Menu Key: 64-bit Context Menu
      Note that "Show the 64-bit context menu" needs to be OFF for this.
    + 64-bit Context Menu: Now Shift+F10 works as a full alternative to the Menu 
      Key:
        -      Shift+F10: 32-bit Context Menu
        - Ctrl+Shift+F10: 64-bit Context Menu
      Note that it only works if Shift+F10 / Ctrl+Shift+F10 are not assigned as 
      a Custom Keyboard Shortcut.

    ! Dropping URLs into XY: Since 20160611 it did not work anymore (base name 
      was empty). Fixed.
    ! Content Search: Did not work for UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded files of unknown 
      types. Fixed.
    ! Content Search: Did not work for UTF-16BE encoded files. Fixed.
    ! Mouse Down Blow Up: MDBU on text files of unknown types did not work for 
      UTF-16 encoded files. Fixed.
    ! Tree: Since v16.80.0004 - 2016-05-23 20:10 the parent folder didn't 
      refresh anymore after subfolder was deleted. Fixed.

v16.90.0208 - 2016-06-13 18:11
    + SC renameitem enhanced: Added a flag to force appending the numsuffix.
      Syntax: renameitem(newname, [sourceitem=<curitem>], [flags=0], [numsuffix])
        flags:
         16:  Force appending the numsuffix.
              If set then numsuffix defaults to the incremental suffix set on 
              Configuration.
      Example:
        Context: A file named "John.jpg" already exists in the path and is 
        selected.
          renameitem("John.jpg", , , "-01");    //file not changed
          renameitem("John.jpg", , 16, "-01");  //file renamed to John-01.jpg
    + Mouse Down Blow Up: MDBU on Text files now also works on file types that 
      are not listed as text files in Previewed Formats. Any non-binary file 
      gets a blow up.
    + 64-bit Context Menu: Experimentally you now can force the 64-bit context 
      menu using Ctrl+Menu Key (the key next to the right CTRL key, so Ctrl+Menu 
      Key is easily doable with the right hand).
      This gives you nice keyboard options:
        -      Menu Key: 32-bit Context Menu
        - Ctrl+Menu Key: 64-bit Context Menu
      Note that the above only works if "Show the 64-bit context menu" is OFF, else it 
      has no effect since the 64-bit context menu is opened either way.

v16.90.0207 - 2016-06-12 20:01
    * Find Files and Quick Search: Changed the new switch for content search 
      from /conttext to /contents.
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /contflags by which you can 
      modify the content search triggered by /contents.
      Syntax:
        /contflags=[mode=n];[type=t];[options]

        mode (choose one)
          n = normal (Default if missing)
          w = whole words
          c = wildcards
          r = regexp

        type (choose one)
          t = text (Default if missing)
          b = binary
          tb = text and binary

        options (any combination)
          c = match case
          i = invert
          h = hex string
      
      Remarks:
        - /contflags covers all options available on the "Find Files | Contents" 
          tab, so you now have the full power of XY's content search available 
          as inline parameter of Quick Search.
      Examples:
      - Find all text files containing "EM 2016" case-sensitive:
          * /contents=em 2016 /contflags=;;c
      - Find all files with hex characters FF E0 at position 2. Note that the 
        contents string has to be quoted in this case else the ":" will confuse 
        the parser:
          * /contents="2: FF E0" /contflags=;;h
      - Find all files with contents matching regexp pattern "\x61" (= "a"):
          * /contents="\x61" /contflags=r;;
        This works as well:
          * /contents=\x61 /contflags=r
    * Replacement character for NULL and other non-printable low ASCII 
      characters: Well, cough cough, I changed it again, now to Unicode U+2219 
      (BULLET OPERATOR), which seems to solve all problems and looks good. This 
      is now used everywhere throughout the app (apart from the classical Hex 
      View where the dot has a long-standing tradition in this position).
    + Added a tweak for that Replacement character, so if you want the dot back:
        LowAsciiReplacementChar=.
      For a space do this:
        LowAsciiReplacementChar=" "
      Only a *one* character string is allowed here.
    ! Fixed a fluky error 9 on startup under rare conditions.

v16.90.0206 - 2016-06-12 12:36
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /conttext by which you can run a 
      simple content search via inline switch -- pretty cool!
      Syntax:
        /conttext=[string to search]
      Remarks:
        - The search uses the vanilla setting of the Find Files | Contents tab: 
          First option in the drop downs, all checkboxes unchecked.
          So, it's a text search only, binary files are not scanned!
        - Of course, all settings on the Contents tab are completely ignored if 
          running a Quick Search for contents.
        - You can quote the string, and should do so if it contains something 
          that looks like a switch (see 3rd example below).
      Examples:
      - Find all text files containing "em 2016":
        * /conttext=em 2016
      - Find all *.txt files containing "em 2016":
        * /conttext=em 2016 /types=txt
      - Find all text files containing "/limit":
        * /conttext="/limit"
    * Scripting: Non-printable characters in the Stepping dialog (and some other 
      places) are now represented by the BEL character (ASCII 007). Before, the 
      normal dot (.) was used which could lead to confusion. FYI, before the dot 
      the middot (ASCII 183) was used, but this did not play well with all 
      codepages.

    + Copy and Paste of internet bookmarks (from Firefox, Chrome, and the like) 
      to *.URL files did not work, while drag and drop did. Now it does work. 
      Note that even Explorer (Win 8.1) cannot handle this job.
    ! Tabs: Probably since 20160531 when changing the location in a locked tab 
      an implicitly opened default tab inherited the properties of the locked 
      tab (instead of keeping its own properties). Fixed.
    ! Raw View: Since 20160520 the ASCII (non Hex) view wrongly saw "DOS files" 
      as "Mac files". Fixed.

    * Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Resolve junctions: 
      This setting had too much power. Experimentally excluded history (Back, 
      Forward), Up, Down, and the startup path from auto-resolving of junctions 
      (and symlinks).
      This might fix a false "Location currently not available" message that was 
      nagging some users.
    * Preview: Minor changes in MSG preview.
    * Message Boxes: Now they show the version number (along with the app name) 
      in the title bar.

    + SC obfuscate: Now also the titlebar is obfuscated. App title and version 
      number are excluded to assist debugging (which is the purpose of obfuscate 
      after all).
    * Raw View: Decreased the limit back to 10 MB. 100 MB was just using too 
      much memory.
    * Raw View: Decided to remove the "Huge Text File" prompt altogether. 
      Instead, for files larger than 10 MB, "(cropped)" is shown in the Raw 
      View's meta data section, and "... [continues]" is shown at the bottom of 
      the preview. Better work flow, less is more.

v16.90.0104 - 2016-06-08 10:52
    + SC obfuscate enhanced: Now you can pass a list of strings that shall be 
      obfuscated. If such a list is passed all other strings are not obfuscated.
      Syntax: obfuscate [value], [bullet], [list]
        list:   [optional]
                List of strings to be obfuscated, separated by |.
                If missing everything is obfuscated.
      Remarks:
        - Strings are processed from left to right.
        - Matching is case-insensitive (A==a).
      Examples:
        obfuscate , , "Donald|Duck";  //toggle obfuscation of "Donald" and "Duck"
    + SC obfuscate: Now also the small lists and dropdowns (e.g. Address Bar, 
      Recent Locations) are obfuscated.
    * Raw View: Increased the limit (added in v5.00.0152 - 2006-08-23 12:46) 
      from 10 to 100 MB, meaning: In ASCII mode, only the first 100 MB of a file 
      are shown.

    * Taskbar: Attempt at automatic taskbar refresh, i.e. auto-move the app icon 
      to the new monitor's taskbar when dragging the app to a new monitor. The 
      refresh should happen when you release the mouse after dragging IF the 
      largest area of the app's main window is on a different monitor than 
      before the dragging.
    > Scripting: Since the change in order of operator precedence in v16.80.0006 
      (2016-05-25 13:35), XY native variables with dots cannot be used unquoted 
      anymore because the dots are now seen as concatenators. For example, this 
      line will lead to a syntax error:
        echo <prop #audio.bitrate>;
      You have to do one of these to make it work:
        echo <prop "#audio.bitrate">;
        echo "<prop #audio.bitrate>";

    + Command Line: Added switch /select. Works similar to /path but with 
      /select the parent folder is opened in the folder tree and the item is 
      select in the file list, no matter whether it's a folder or a file.
      - This will go to "E:\Test" in the tree, and select "Sub" in the file list:
        XYplorer.exe /select=E:\Test\Sub
      - These will go to "E:\Test\Sub" in the tree:
        XYplorer.exe /path=E:\Test\Sub
        XYplorer.exe E:\Test\Sub
      A final backslash does NOT make a difference anymore.
    - Command Line: Undid this change from v16.80.0022 - 2016-06-02 21:11:
        Now a final backslash makes a difference in how the startup 
        path is handled.
      Had overlooked that this also affects how LNK files are treated when XY is 
      the default file manager.

v16.80.0022 - 2016-06-02 21:11
    + Portable File Associations: Now you can use # to stand for the OS 
      associated application.
      Especially when using generic file types this little trick can be useful 
      to exclude certain extensions from the broader definition. For example:
        ini>#
        {:Text}>EmEditor
    * SC runret enhanced and changed: Added optional "codepage" argument. The 
      "flags" argument moved one position to the right. Can do that because 
      "flags" was still in beta.
      Syntax: runret(command, [directory], [codepage], [flags])
        codepage: Expected codepage of the console. Will be converted to Unicode 
                  in the return value.
                  If missing or zero the currently active OEM codepage is 
                  assumed.
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Return a hex dump of the raw data in the pipe. Useful mainly for 
              debugging.
      Example (list the current directory with full Unicode support going via 
      UTF8 codepage, which is pretty cool for a console call):
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir", , 65001);
    * Rename Special: Would not return to the input dialog after entering 
      invalid patterns in some cases. Now it does.
    * Command Line: Now a final backslash makes a difference in how the startup 
      path is handled.
      - This will go to "E:\Test\", and select "Sub" in the file list:
        XYplorer.exe E:\Test\Sub
      - This will go to "E:\Test\Sub\":
        XYplorer.exe E:\Test\Sub\        
    ! Various small lists: You could not tick the checkboxes when the lists were 
      horizontally scrolled. Fixed.
