v10.40.0115 - 2011-10-25 14:22
    + Droppable User Buttons (DUBs): The OpenWith shorthand trick added 
      in v10.40.0114 now also supports command line parameters stated 
      with the application in the Name field.
    + Command Line Switches: Now you can feed a script into an existing 
      instance of XYplorer without changing the location or tabs of that 
      instance. Simply pass the new switch /flg=2 in the command line, 
      for example:
        E:\XY\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe /script="::msg 'Hi!';" /flg=2

v10.40.0114 - 2011-10-24 20:00
    + Droppable User Buttons (DUBs): Added a shorthand trick that 
      greatly simplifies creating User Buttons that work like toolbar-
      based OpenWith panels (where you define the opening application 
      AND the opened file!).
      Now, in the "On right-click" field of a DUB pointing to an 
      executable you can pass a path/file spec (all portability feats 
      are fully supported) as a shorthand for a well-formed openwith 
      script. Such a line will be internally auto-converted to a valid 
      openwith statement including the appropriate icon in the generated 
      popup menu, and in all those openwith statements the openwith 
      application will be the one defined in the Name field of the 
      button.
      IOW, paste the list of files you want to open with the executable 
      into the "On right-click" field and you are done!
      - 2 examples for the contents of Name field:
        "ACDSee32"
        C:\Programme\ACDSee32\ACDSee32.exe
      - 1 example for the contents of the "On right-click" field:
        E:\TestFiles\images\_misc\08-lrg-16bit.tga
        E:\TestFiles\images\_misc\aguilera-32bit.tga
        Desktop\voice_dailer_256.png
        -
        "Favorite Folders|:favs" button "favs";
      Now right-clicking the button will pop a menu containing three 
      image files, one separator, and one little script that opens the 
      Favorite Folders menu. Selecting any of the image files from the 
      menu will open it using ACDSee.
      Tip: Note that this shorthand trick also works in the "On click" 
      (= LeftClick) event of the button (also with "Fire click on 
      mousedown" enabled, which is quite cool). However, the button will 
      not work as a DUB in this case (DUBs by definition need this field 
      to be empty).

      issue where the column headers in Details view did not erase 
      before redrawing.

v10.40.0112 - 2011-10-24 10:36
    + Full Screen Preview: Now the mouse wheel is supported.
    * List | Gesture: Refined the detection. Now the gesture does not 
      have to be a continuous motion without any stops anymore: A mouse 
      halt of up to 250 ms does not count as a stop.
      This means that the gesture to toggle shell/foreground mode for 
      the current file operation does not have to be an non-stop ellipse 
      anymore, but can be a 45° back and forth (up/left, and back to the 
      start) motion.

v10.40.0110 - 2011-10-20 11:39
  +++ Find Files | Contents: Added RegExp (Regular Expressions) as a new 
      mode for content search.
      Examples:
      - Match 2011-10-20 or 2011-1-2 etc.:
        \d{4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}
      - Match lines that begin with "New".
        ^New
      - Match lines that end with "*/".
        \*\/$
      Note:
      - Since larger files are read chunkwise (performance!) there are 
        certain limits to the scope of your pattern: A pattern is 
        guaranteed to be found if it matches a range of 1,024 bytes! It 
        also *might* be found if it matches a range of 1,025 to 32,768 
        bytes! It will certainly not be found if it matches only an even 
        larger range.
    * Find Files | Contents: Reorganized the interface. Mutually 
      exclusive modes are now stacked into one paradigm.
    ! Find Files | Contents: Search by contents did not honor the "Whole 
      Words" option on UNICODE text files (UTF-16 BOM). Fixed.

v10.40.0108 - 2011-10-19 11:50
    + New variable <prop [property index or name]>. Returns any 
      available Shell Property value of the current item. See SC 
      property() for details and caveats.
      Note that this variable is also supported by Rename Special 
      (regular UI, not only via scripting).
      Examples:
      - Retrieve Size, Type, and Version of the current item (under XP):
        msg "<prop #1>, <prop #2>, <prop fileversion>";
      - Append the file version to the name:
        rename b, '*-<prop fileversion>', p;
      - Append width and height to the name (images only; some videos 
        work as well):        
        rename b, '*-<prop ImageX>x<prop ImageY>', p;
      - Append camera model to the name (photos only, of course):        
        rename b, '*-<prop CameraModel>', p;
      - To have the CameraModel of the current file on the status bar, 
        use this tweak:
        StatusBar3OnFile="<curname>, Camera: <prop CameraModel>"
    + New variable <curlen> returns the full path/name length of the 
      current file.
    * Custom Copy | Progress Dialog: Now the From/To paths in the header 
      use "Path Ellipsis" instead of "End Ellipsis", so that the 
      immediate parent folders are shown after the ellipsis dots.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0066.

v10.40.0107 - 2011-10-18 21:10
    * List | Gesture: Refined the detection. Now you can redefine the 
      start point of the gesture by moving the file-dragging mouse to 
      any point over the list and stop moving it for some milliseconds. 
      That way you can also use the gesture with items at the top of the 
      list (from where you cannot directly do a 100 pixel move up-
      right).
      Note that the gesture itself now has to be a continuous motion 
      without any stops. So it's not a 2-step move up-right and back 
      anymore, but rather a non-stop ellipse or circle touching a point 
      that's more than 100 pixels up-right of the start point.

v10.40.0106 - 2011-10-18 20:27
    * List: Experimentally added a mouse gesture to force 
      shell/foreground mode for the current file operation. When you 
      drag the selected files, quickly drag the mouse up-right (45°)
      for more than 100 pixels, and then back down-left (near) to the 
      point where you started (all within 2 seconds).
      The status bar displays a message when the gesture is detected.
      Note that the gesture is a toggle. Keeping the mouse button down 
      you can do it again to turn file operations back to normal.
      Note that gesture detection is not 100% perfect (yet), so you 
      might need to try a couple of times, especially with any non-first 
      gesture. You will get better when you get into the groove...

v10.40.0105 - 2011-10-18 14:55
    + User Buttons: Now labels are supported, i.e. you can define a text 
      to be displayed in the toolbar instead of the icon. In the Edit 
      User Button dialog, simply prefix the contents of the Icon field 
      with "label:", for example:
        label:Fun
      Now "Fun" is printed to the button in the toolbar.
      Optionally you can define text and back colors in format RRGGBB, 
      for example:
        label:Fun>FFFFFF,555555   //white on dark grey
        label:Fun>FF0000          //red (no background)
      Of course, this also works for Droppable User Buttons (which are 
      just a subtype of User Buttons).
    * Toolbar | Recent Locations: Now the popped menu has up to 32 items 
      by default. Before it was only 10 items.
      The value can be tweak using the key RecLocMenuMax.
    ! List | Mouse Down Blow Up: Could get confused and partly stop 
      working under certain conditions. Fixed.
