v10.90.0305 - 2012-04-13 21:09
    + Configuration | Extended | Custom items in shell context menu | 
      Folder Tree: Added one item:
        Add Folder to Toolbar
      On selection a new Droppable User Button is appended to the right 
      end of the Toolbar pointing to the folder.
      This feature is Pro Edition Only, resp. only available if the 
      Scripting feature is enabled.
    ! Removing redundant deep data (see v10.90.0304) did not work yet in 
      all situations. Fixed.
    ! SC writefile: When appending data (parameter "on_exist" = "a") to 
      a UTF16 file, the appended data were not automatically converted 
      to Unicode when parameter "mode" was set to "t" (autodetect). This 
      resulted in garbage. Fixed.

v10.90.0304 - 2012-04-13 14:36
    + Variable <get [Command ID] [ReturnOnTrue = 1] [ReturnOnFalse = 0]> 
      now also supports the following Command IDs:
        #471 = Enable Folder View Settings
      Example:
        echo get("#471", "FVS ON", "FVS OFF");
    % Recursive Search Results and Branch Views: In such "deep data" 
      (where containers can be listed side by side with their contents) 
      you will run into name collisions or other unwanted situations 
      when you select e.g. a folder AND any of its contents and then 
      copy, move, or delete the selected items.
      From now on there is smartness built-in which will silently 
      remove any redundant items from the job before processing 
      continues.
    + Configuration | File Operations: Added option "For cross-volume 
      moves only". Tick it to use Custom Move only for cross-volume 
      moves (between different logical drives) and not for intra-volume 
      moves (where no bytes are copied at all, and which technically are 
      a rename rather than a move).

v10.90.0303 - 2012-04-12 18:56
    + Name Search (Find Files and Branch View): Added switch "n" to 
      force a non-recursive search (overwriting the Include Subfolders 
      checkbox). 
      Notes:
      - The absence of the "r" switch (= recursive search) is in many 
        contexts sufficient to force a non-recursive search. The 
        explicit "n" is only needed when the ":flat" switch is given as 
        well, because Branch Views are recursive by default.
      - In a Multi Branch View this switch will also suppress listing 
        the top folders of each branch.
      Examples:
      Identical non-recursive single location searches:
        E:\Test\a\? /
        E:\Test\a\? /n
      Identical non-recursive multi location searches:
        E:\Test\a\;E:\Test\b\? /
        E:\Test\a\;E:\Test\b\? /n
      Non-Identical Multi Branch Views:
        E:\Test\a\;E:\Test\b\? /:flat         = recursive
        E:\Test\a\;E:\Test\b\? /n:flat        = non-recursive
    ! SC ReadFile: The new Start parameter did not work correctly on 
      Unicode files. Fixed.

    + SC exists enhanced: Now it also checks URLs. If a URL does not 
      exist the error code is returned as well.
      Name:   exists
      Action: Checks whether a file or directory or URL exists.
      Syntax: exists(item)
        item: Full path (local or UNC) to a file system item, or URL.
        return:
          0 = does not exist
              0|404: URL returned 404.
          1 = exists (file, URL)
          2 = exists (folder; drive; share; server) 
      Example:
        text exists("http://bit.ly/11MTVc"); //0|404    
      Note:
        This function can take some seconds on first URL access.
    + SC readurl enhanced: Added a silent mode (no error messages).
      Syntax: readurl(url, [nocookies], [StripHTML], [flags])
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = fail gently if offline
          2 = silent mode (no error messages)
      Example:
        text readurl("http://bit.ly/11MTVc", , , 2);
    * Titlebar: The automatic upgrade notice in the titlebar (it is 
      shown when you first run a new XYplorer version) is now shown not 
      more than once anymore.
    ! Color Filters: A Color Filter "size:0" matched folders in the List 
      that did not have their size calculated at all. Fixed.

v10.90.0205 - 2012-03-26 20:22
    * SC trim: Changed the mode parameter from numbers to letters:
      Syntax: trim(string, [charlist=" "], [mode=LR])
        mode:     where to trim:
                  L = left
                  R = right
                  LR = both (default)
                  (not case-sensitive, "l" and "r" work as well)
      Examples:
        text trim("  d  ");                 //"d"
        text trim("  d  ", , "L");          //"d  "
        text trim("  d  ", , "R");          //"  d"
        text trim("  d  ", , "rl");         //"d"
    * SC self: Now if the current script has no own caption then 
      self("caption") returns the caption of its parent script (the 
      script that called it, if any), or the parent of the parent etc. 
      until a caption is found.
      Remark: This change makes it possible to load script files in a 
      Catalog Item via load() and still refer to the Catalog Item's 
      caption by self("caption").    
    + SC self enhanced: Added switch to return the icon resource of the 
      current script.
      Syntax: self(info)
        info:
          icon = icon resource of the current script
      Example (Self('Icon') returns "C:\windows\notepad.exe"):
        "Testing <xyexe>|C:\windows\notepad.exe : label"
          status self("icon");

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   Trim
      Action: Strips spaces (or other characters) from the beginning 
              and/or end of a string.
      Syntax: trim(string, [charlist=" "], [mode=3])
        string:   string to trim
        charlist: one or more characters to be stripped:
                  single, e.g. "X"
                  groups, e.g. "xyab"
                  ranges, e.g. "a-m", "3-6"
                  wildcards, e.g. "#" (digits)
                  default is " " (space)
        mode:     where to trim:
                  1 = left
                  2 = right
                  3 = both (default)
        return:   trimmed string
      Note:
        It is not possible to combine the closing bracket "]" with other 
        characters in a group or range. As a single character it works.
      Examples:
        text trim("  d  ");               //"d"
        text trim("  d  ", , 1);          //"d  "
        text trim("  d  ", , 2);          //"  d"
        text trim("aadaa", "a");          //"d"
        text trim("abdab", "cba");        //"d"
        text trim("123ab2ac654", "#");    //ab2ac
        text trim("123ab2ac654", "3-5");  //123ab2ac6
        text trim("]]123654]]", "]");     //123654

    + Text Preview | Dropdown: Added UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-8, and UTF-
      7 to the codepages that can be selected for decoding the current 
      file.
      FYI, choosing "System Default" enables auto-detection for UTF-
      16LE, UTF-16BE, and UTF-8. In parentheses "System Default" shows 
      the Default ANSI Code Page, e.g. "System Default (1252)".
    * Text Preview: Now a previewed auto-detected UTF-8, UTF-16BE, etc. 
      file can be force-decoded as any of the codepages offered in the 
      preview tab's dropdown menu. It won't usually return anything 
      useful but who knows what you are up to.
    * Text Preview: Now when reloading a previewed text the scroll 
      position is preserved as good as possible.
    + Text Preview | Dropdown: Added command "Edit User Code Pages..." 
      to give you a little interface for the job.
    + User Defined Codepages: Now you can optionally state the line 
      length.
      General Format: 
        CodepageName=CodepageValue[,Reclen]
      Example:
        IBM EBCDIC International=500,82

    + SC gettoken enhanced: Now you can trim the returned string using a 
      new parameter "format":
      Syntax: gettoken(string, [index=1], [separator=" "], [format])
        format:   Switches for the desired formatting. Can be freely 
                  combined in any order.
          t = trim returned string (crop leading and trailing spaces)
      Example:    
        text gettoken("a,  b  ,c", 2, ",");       //"  b  "
        text gettoken("a,  b  ,c", 2, ",", "t");  //"b"
    + SC self enhanced: Added switch to return the caption of the 
      current script.
      Syntax: self(info)
        info:
          caption = caption of the current script
      Remarks:
        A script's caption can be part of the script itself (typically 
        in a multi-script resource) but also be stated in its container, 
        e.g. a Catalog Item or a UDC.
      Example for a Catalog script that tags the dropped items taking 
      the actual tags (cats, dogs) from the caption of the script:
      Caption:
        Set tag to dropped items: cats, dogs
      Script:
        // Caption example = Set tag to dropped items: cats, dogs
          $tags = gettoken(self("caption"), 2, ":", "t"); 
          tag $tags, <get drop |> , 1;
    ! Catalog: Dropping items onto scripts did not really work yet. Fixed.
    * Raw View: LF (ASCII 10) is now executed in non-hex raw view.

v10.90.0201 - 2012-03-21 13:48
    + Catalog: Now you can drop items onto scripts in the Catalog. A new 
      variable <get drop [separator=CRLF]> returns the dropped items and 
      can be used in the script to process the dropped items.
      Examples (add these scripts as items to the Catalog, then drop 
      files onto them):
        text <get drop>;
        text <get drop |>;
      Notes:
      - The <get drop> variable is cleared after the script is 
        processed, so it cannot be used after the drop event is completed.
      - If the script contains no <get drop> variable it is run 
        nevertheless just as if you clicked the Catalog item.
    + Text Preview: Added more codepages to the dropdown menu in the 
      Preview tab and improved the labels.
    + SC taglist enhanced: New parameter flags allows to add/remove tags 
      to/from the current tag list.
      Syntax: taglist([tags], [flags=0])
        flags:  0: Replace current tag list.
                1: Add to current tag list.
                2: Remove from current tag list.
      Examples:
        taglist("may,june,july");     // defines a new tag list
        taglist("may,june,july", 1);  // adds to current tag list
        taglist("may,june,july", 2);  // removes from current tag list
    * Raw View | Hex: Now middot instead of dot is used to replace 
      NULLs.
    * Raw View: Now Unicode (wide) files are shown uninterpreted (byte-
      wise) in the non-hex view. NULL characters are displayed by 
      middots.
    * Raw View: Now you can optionally see binary files in non-hex view. 
      Before, (un)ticking the Hex checkbox had no effect when a binary 
      file was viewed. Any characters < ASCII 32 are displayed by 
      middots.
      Note, however, that this is infinitely slower than XY's super-
      optimized Hex view.
    ! Tabs: Drawing glitch when a pattern-named tab (see v10.90.0107) 
      was relocated via Home button. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | Go Home: Button was not enabled on startup under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.

    * Text Preview: Now files that look like text files from the 
      extension but contain NULL characters are displayed anyway. The 
      NULL characters are replaced by the substitute character 0x25A1 
      (WHITE SQUARE).
      Before, you got an error "Not a text file".
    * Quick File View: Same as Text Preview above.
