v16.90.0205 - 2016-06-11 20:13
    + 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.
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.

    * 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>";

v16.90.0001 - 2016-06-06 09:13
    + 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.
    * Updated the help file.

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.
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.

    ! Command Line: When passing a startup file via command line (= open the 
      path, then select the file), that file was not fully selected AND focused, but 
      just selected. The focus stayed somewhere else. Fixed.
      Examples (both functionally identical):
        XYplorer.exe C:\Docs\file16.pdf
        XYplorer.exe /path="C:\Docs\file16.pdf"
    ! Startup: A tab auto-selected via command line falsely inherited its 
      properties from the original startup tab. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Sort and Rename | Sort | Keep focused item in view after 
      resorting: Was not honored by the commands in menu View | Sort By and SC
