v11.30.0101 - 2012-06-14 14:28
    + Configuration | General: Added option "Show sort headers in all 
      views". Tick it to have sort headers (column headers) also in non-
      Details view, e.g. in Thumbnails.
      Note that in views "Small Icons" and "List" you can modify the 
      column width by resizing the Name column header.
      FYI, Windows Explorer in Vista had sort headers in all views but 
      for unknown reasons Microsoft removed this feature in Windows 7. 
      Now, XYplorer brings it back to Windows 7 and to all other Windows 
      versions.
    ! Floating Preview: Crash was possible when changing the folder 
      while the preview was up. 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 | Backup your Application Data Folder)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

v11.30.0010 - 2012-06-12 11:43
    * List: Changed the strategy applied in v11.30.0008. Now, to improve 
      handling huge lists the selections are not stored anymore (neither 
      for tab switch nor for Restore Selection) in lists larger than 
      32767 items.
      Such a "huge list" is now marked by having the total count in the 
      Status Bar colored red.
      On top of this no more than 4096 individual selections are 
      retained between tab switches or by Restore Selection.

    % Improved the experience of deleting huge numbers of items ( > 
      100,000), #2.
    * List: Since v8.00.0002 (2009-06-20 14:25) any number of individual 
      selections were retained between tab switches. This, however, 
      leads to problems (long delays, freeze, out of memory errors) on 
      huge lists. Therefore a limit has been reintroduced: Now no more 
      than 4096 individual selections are retained between tab switches.
    * Undo: Also the action log needs to be limited to avoid problems 
      (long delays, freeze, out of memory errors). From now on only 
      actions with 32767 or less items involved are stored in the action 
      log and can be undone.

    % Improved the experience of deleting huge numbers of items > 
      100,000. Should be faster and smoother now. Smaller jobs should 
      feel more snappy as well.
    * Menu Edit | Select | Restore Selection: This service had to be 
      limited somewhat to avoid extreme memory waste with huge lists. An 
      arbitrary maximum has been set to 4096 selected items. Larger 
      selections cannot be restored.

v11.30.0005 - 2012-06-10 12:20
    + Custom Event Actions (CEA): Added another custom event, "Middle-
      click on a file in the list" (currently only as a tweak).
        [Settings]
        CEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile=0
      You can currently choose between the following actions:
        0 = Default action (factory default)
        1 = Go to File in New Tab
        2 = Show File in Floating Preview
        3 = Show File in Full Screen Preview
        (any other value) = Do nothing
      Note that if set to 0 the behavior is controlled by Configuration 
      | Extended | Middle-click goes to file in new tab (this option 
      will become obsolete once CEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile is elevated 
      from tweak status).
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now middle-click closes the 
      preview.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Mouse down blow up | With border: Did 
      not hide the border in MDBU on Preview when "Shrink to fit" was 
      ticked. Fixed.
    * Menu Edit | Select | Select Items...: Now any non-printable 
      characters (that might have been pasted from clipboard) are 
      silently removed from the input.
    * Updated the help file.

    + Configuration | Thumbnails: Added Padding, a new way to customize 
      the distance between thumbnails.
      Note that depending on the thumbs Style some minimal padding is 
      internally hard-coded and silently ensured. Only style "Plain" 
      allows effectively zero padding.
    - The command View | Columns | Shrink Name Column (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad 
      Subtract) from now on does not affect the thumbnails horizontal 
      space anymore.
    * Configuration | Thumbnails: Renamed "Number of caption lines" to 
      "Caption lines".

      thumbnails views.
      Notes:
      - The color is only applied to the active pane.
      - The color overwrites Configuration | Colors & Styles | Mirror 
        tree box color in file list.

v11.20.0008 - 2012-06-01 17:31
    * Metadata Layouts (previously known as "Metadata Templates"): Now 
      also named arguments are supported. Your part is to find a working 
      name. MS makes it a secret, but you might be lucky hunting a name in 
      the web. E.g. "Dimensions" works to return image dimensions, and 
      "WhenTaken" for the shooting date.
      NOTE, however, that some named arguments return different values 
      then their numeric counterparts. Mysteries of the Windows shell. 
      For example (XP SP3), watch especially the Modified date:
      - text property("0,1,3,37", "%winsysdir%\msvbvm60.dll", "m");
          Name: msvbvm60.dll               
          Größe: 1.353 KB                  
          Geändert am: 14.04.2008 04:22    
          Dateiversion: 6.0.98.2           
      - text property("Name,Size,Write,FileVersion", "%winsysdir%\msvbvm60.dll", "m");
          Name: msvbvm60.dll            
          Size: 1384479                 
          Write: 14.04.2008 02:22:18    
          FileVersion: 6.0.98.2         
      It's the numeric arguments that show the expected values, at least 
      in my tests.
    * Metadata Layouts: Changed the width marker from ":" to "!".
        text property("30!0,1,37;3,4,5", "%winsysdir%\msvbvm60.dll", "m");
    * Metadata Layouts: Now you can provide alternative field names. 
      They can be prefixed to the value identifiers (numeric or names) 
      separated by ":". Example for a ML:
        "24,Wann:25,So groß:Dimensions;Blah blah:14;"
    * Info Panel: Moved the Tags tab to the right of the Raw View tab.
    + Info Panel | Meta: Right-click offers "Copy to Clipboard".
    ! Info Panel | Meta: Attempted a fix where the indices for certain 
      image properties were one off.
