    ! Find Files: The radical changes in v13.20.0012 temporarily 
      destroyed the Search Results tab management. Fixed.
    ! Find Files: '"Search results" tab (unlocked)' was supposed to make 
      a newly created tab if necessary, but did not. Fixed.

v13.20.0012 - 2013-11-10 20:30
    % Some RADICAL CHANGES in code architecture lead to further reduced 
      memory usage. Backup your configuration before testing this version!
    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View: Added section "Visual 
      Filters" with four settings which up to now had been only 
      available in the right-click menu of the Toggle Visual Filter 
      toolbar button:
        Persist visual filters across folders
        Toggle on same filter
        Ignore diacritics
        Show filter warning in list
    + Filter Warning: Now there is a small right-click menu where you 
      can edit or remove the filter.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars: Drawing glitch on invalid downward paths in 
      history. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: You could focus the Address Bar even if it was 
      invisible. Fixed.

v13.20.0011 - 2013-11-09 13:42
    + Visual Filters: Now the unary NOT operator "!" can also be used 
      for individual operands in a Boolean expression.
        cat and !dog  //cat and not dog
        cat;!dog      //cat or not dog
      Note that this works only for non-first operands, since the NOT 
      operator in front of the first operand is interpreted as NOT 
      operator for the whole expression:
        !cat and dog  //not (cat and dog)
        !cat;dog      //not (cat or dog)
      The "!" operator can be escaped by "\" (useful if you need to 
      match the "!" character):
        cat and \!dog   //cat and !dog
        \!cat and dog   //!cat and dog
    + Color Filters: Now the unary NOT operator "!" can also be used 
      for individual operands in a Boolean expression.
      Examples see above at Visual Filters.
    * Color Filters: Now Name and Dir patterns support Loose Match, i.e. 
      wildcards (*) are internally auto-added left and right of a 
      pattern if no wildcards (* or ?) are contained in the pattern. So 
      "cat" will now match "wildcat.txt"; before you needed to state 
      "*cat*".
      FYI, this is in analogy to Visual Filters which support this since 
      20060830.
    + Toolbar | Toggle Instant Color Filter: Now the button has a 
      tooltip showing the last respectively current filter.
    ! Instant Color Filters: You could not state filters without a 
      caption. Fixed, now you can.
    ! Mouse Down Blow Up: Drawing glitch in the image preview after 
      changing the previewed image while a non-fullscreen MDBU is up. 
      Fixed.
    ! Find Files | Excluded | Add Current: Treated folders as files, and 
      the checkbox was not correctly updated after adding an item to the 
      list. Both fixed.
    * Scripting: Now any number of spaces is tolerated after the closing 
      bracket of a function:
        If( "a" == "a" ) { writefile("Test.txt", "a") }
                                               here: ^ 
    * Show Filter Warning in List: Now the factory default is ON.

v13.20.0010 - 2013-11-08 18:29
  +++ Visual Filters: Now Boolean AND is supported. The syntax is 
      identical to Color Filters (where it is supported since v9.70.0029 -
      2010-11-19 11:48).
      Examples:
        cat and dog and pig //all these animals must be in the name
        water and ageM: w   //"water" in the name, modified this week
        size: < 1KB AND *.txt; size: < 100 AND *.gif //TXT < 1 KB, or GIF < 100 bytes
        "Image Files 2013" {:Image} and 2013 //image files with "2013" in the name
      Etc., the possibilities are endless. If you know what you are 
      doing this is a very powerful enhancement!
    + Toolbar | Toggle Visual Filter: New Icon.
      Credits for the icon go to http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons.
    + Color Filters: Now the prefixed inversion operator "!" is 
      supported just like in Visual Filters.
      Examples:
        !a*      //items not beginning with a
        !a*;b*   //items not beginning with a or b
      Examples for an Instant Color Filter:
        "Not Common Image Files" !*.gif;*.jpg;*.png>36530F,E6F786
    ! Filter Warning: Lasso selection displaced. Fixed.

v13.20.0009 - 2013-11-08 12:04
    + Toolbar | Toggle Visual Filter: Now the button's context menu 
      features another toggle option:
      - Show Filter Warning in List
      If checked then a filter warning "List is filtered: <pattern>" is 
      shown in a filtered list. Factory default is off.
    ! Filter Warning: In Windows Classic Mode the column headers were 
      not drawn correctly when a Filter Warning was shown. Fixed.
    * Toolbar | Toggle Visual Filter: Now the button also toggles the 
      last used Power Filter. Before, the button completely ignored the 
      Power Filters.
    + Breadcrumb Bars: Now the right-click menu lets you control the 
      visual style of the Breadcrumb Bars. You can choose between 
      Beveled Bar (default) and Flat Bar.
    > Did you know that Visual Filters support RegExp? For example:
        |>.*(\.png|\.jpg)$    //show only *.png and *.jpg files
      For some reason this never made it to the help file, although it 
      is supported since v5.10.0011 - 2006-08-31 12:41!
    ! Breadcrumb Bars: Probably fixed the so-called "Hong Kong 
      Traditional Bug". If successful you now should get bold items in 
      the dropdowns and the dropdowns should not disappear right away.

    + Visual Filters: Experimentally a message "List is filtered: 
      <pattern>" is now shown in a filtered list. This way it much 
      clearer that a list is filtered and how. Makes the app safer.
    * Redirection Message: New colors and some other refinements.

v13.20.0007 - 2013-11-07 13:08
    + RealSystem32: Experimentally a warning message is shown in a list 
      that is redirected by Windows to SysWOW64. Of course, you will see 
      this message only if "Show the real System32 directory" is OFF.
    ! Configuration | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show the real 
      System32 directory: Caption was missing. Fixed.
      And changing the setting did not have immediate effect but only 
      after restart. Fixed as well.
    ! RealSystem32: Browsing or filtering the very System32 directory 
      did not always work yet. Fixed.
    ! Color Filters: The factory default filter for overlong filenames 
      was falsely defined as "len:>260". It should have been 
      "len:>=260". Fixed.
      FYI, XY reports the filename length without an invisible 
      terminating null character, but the maximum filename length for 
      the windows shell is defined as 260 *including* the terminating 
      null character. Therefore a filename reported as 260 characters by 
      XY, is actually 261 characters for the shell and hence too long.

v13.20.0006 - 2013-11-06 21:05
    + Configuration | Shell Integration: Added section "64-bit Windows" 
      with option "Show the real System32 directory". It's the 
      RealSystem32 tweak elevated to GUI level.
      Tick it to access the real System32 directory instead of being 
      redirected by Windows to SysWOW64.
      Notes:
      - This option is only visible in 64-bit Windows and Vista or 
        later.
      - It's not necessary anymore to create the directory 
        %windir%\Sysnative. It always exists as a special alias in 64-
        bit Windows (Vista and later), and XY learned to see it.
    * Tabs: Slightly changed the drawing of tabs in XYplorer Classic 
      style. More horizontal lines at the bottom.

v13.20.0004 - 2013-11-06 12:36
    + RealSystem32: XYcopy now supports the tweak.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0040.
    ! List: On a locked Mini Tree, a list pointing to an unavailable 
      location could not be brought to live again by Refresh after the 
      location had become available (since v13.10.0161). Fixed.
    ! List: On a locked Mini Tree, Branch View could not be toggled off 
      anymore (since v13.10.0161). Fixed.

v13.20.0001 - 2013-11-05 16:59
    + Tweak to access the real System32 directory instead of being 
      redirected by Windows to SysWOW64:
        RealSystem32=1
      Note that additionally to enabling the tweak you have to create 
      the directory %windir%\Sysnative (if it does not exist already), 
      and this AFAIK can only be done using 64-bit Explorer with 
      administrator rights. For 64-bit applications this directory will 
      be empty, for 32-bit applications it will be equivalent to 
      %windir%\System32.
      Here is what Microsoft says about Sysnative:
        "32-bit applications can access the native system directory by 
        substituting %windir%\Sysnative for %windir%\System32. WOW64 
        recognizes Sysnative as a special alias used to indicate that 
        the file system should not redirect the access. This mechanism 
        is flexible and easy to use, therefore, it is the recommended 
        mechanism to bypass file system redirection. Note that 64-bit 
        applications cannot use the Sysnative alias as it is a virtual 
        directory not a real one."
        Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
      NOTES:
      - This tweak only applies to 64-bit Windows and Vista or later, 
        and only if %windir%\Sysnative exists, and only if tweak 
        WOW64DisableWOW64FsRedirection=0. Otherwise it has no effect.
      - This is work in progress. It works well, but there might be some 
        few situations where the redirection is still in effect. Later 
        this will be a checkbox in Configuration.
      - XYcopy does not yet support it!
      - Soon I'll add a message to the list whenever it is redirected, 
        i.e. whenever Windows is lying about the true location.
    ! Startup: Automation Error on startup due to a mysterious font 
      issue. Fixed #2.
    ! Clipboard: Would see no text in the clipboard under extremely rare 
      circumstances. Attempt to fix. Low hopes though.
