v10.40.0005 - 2011-10-07 20:30
    * SC listpane enhanced. Added flag to handle open square brackets, 
      i.e. convert "[" to "[[]" to allow matching "[". See also SC 
      filter.
        flags: (binary field)
         16: NoCharacterLists (= handy to match open square brackets)
    * Rename Special: Before, when renaming multiple items in Search 
      Results, the search was repeated after the rename and the multi-
      selections were lost. Now, this happens only when folders are 
      among the renamed items AND the search did include subfolders.
    ! Info Panel | Version: Failed to retrieve the String File Version 
      of many (probably all) of the Portable Apps installers and wrapper 
      executables. 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.

v10.40.0004 - 2011-10-06 10:31
    + Configuration | Advanced: Added option "Open favorite files 
      directly". Tick it to directly open files by selecting them from 
      the Favorite Files menu. Portable File Associations are honored.
      Tip: The toolbar button's tooltip reflects the current setting.
    + Menu View | Tab | Columns: Added command "Show Columns...", which 
      pops a checkbox list of all available columns in the current list 
      mode. It offers an alternative way to control column visibility.
      Note that the order of columns is not reflected in the list, nor 
      can it be changed here. This might be added later.
    * Scripting | Step Mode: Changed the frightening "warning" icon to 
      an "editfile" icon for those commands that affect files or folders.
      Non-affecting commands now simply get no icon at all.

v10.40.0002 - 2011-10-05 20:24
    + Custom Copy: Now wildcards are supported in the sources. This 
      means that all copy/move-related scripting commands that take 
      wildcards now support Custom Copy/Move. Before, they auto-switched 
      to Shell copy when they met wildcards in the sources.
      Examples:
        copyto "D:\Test", "D:\Temp\*.jpg";
        copyto "<curpath>", "<xydata>\*.ini|<xydata>\*.dat";
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name:   moveas
      Action: Moves item(s) under a pattern-based name.
      Syntax: Analog to SC copyas.
    * SC copyas: Now the targetpath is silently auto-created if it does 
      not exist.
    + SC formatlist enhanced: Added format "f" for filter. The filters 
      themselves are passed in the fourth parameter and separated by the 
      separator defined in the second parameter. An item passes the 
      filters if it matches at least one of them.
      Syntax: formatlist(list, [format], [separator=|], [param])
        format:   Switches for the desired formatting. Can be freely 
                  combined in any order.
          f = filter
        param:    A list of filters, separated by separator (3rd 
                  argument). The filters support the usual pattern 
                  wildcards (*?#).
      Examples:
        text formatlist("ba|a|c", "f", , "a|b");  //a
        text formatlist("ba|a", "f", , "a*");     //a
        text formatlist("ba|a", "f", , "*a");     //ba|a
        //list all INI and TXT files in the current branch
          $files = folderreport("files", "r", , "r", , "|");
          $files = formatlist($files, "f", "|", "*.ini|*.txt");
          $files = replace($files, "|", <crlf>);
          text $files;
    * List | Date Column Format: Before, the first time format was hard-
      coded to hh:nn:ss. Now it is set to the system time format (often, 
      but not necessarily, also hh:nn:ss).
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0061.

      functionally identical to the AutosizeColumnsMaxWidth tweak 
      (v10.10.0106).

    + Toolbar: Added "Wipe" button. Well, it actually looks like an 
      eraser (there are no good icons for "wipe"). Credits and thanks 
      for the new icon go to http://simiographics.deviantart.com/.
    * File | File Special: Renamed "Delete (Wipe)" to "Wipe".

v10.30.0010 - 2011-09-28 20:23
    * Date Column Format: Before, three time formats (namely menu-
      position 3, 4, and 5) were user-configurable via tweaking. Now, 
      only two (3 and 4) remain tweakable whereas menu-position 5 is 
      hard-coded to ISO 8601 (hh:nn:ss).
      For example:
        [ListTimeFormats]
        Version=1
        ; Tweak: edit the following as you need
        3=hh:nn am/pm
        4=hh:nn AM/PM
    * Updated the help file.

v10.30.0009 - 2011-09-27 20:51
  *** Background Jobs and Custom Copy: Before, queued background jobs 
      re-used the same instance of XYcopy, even if the Progress Dialog 
      of a completed job was still up and visible. The dialog was then 
      re-used for the next job up, and so on to the end of the queue, 
      and you were finally left with the open Progress Dialog of the 
      last job in the queue. All other Progress Dialogs including their 
      detailed reports were gone forever. Bad!
      From now on, the resulting Progress Dialogs of each job in the 
      queue stay open until you close them while the queue is worked 
      till its end as usual. So when you have say 5 jobs you will end up 
      with 5 open Progress Dialogs, waiting to be reviewed and finally 
      closed by you.
      Of course, the above changes only take effect with Custom 
      Copy/Move enabled and if "Show progress dialog" and "Keep progress 
      dialog open" are ticked.

    * Background Jobs: From now on, the ID of the background job is 
      shown in the related dialogs' title bar, e.g. "Custom Copy 
      (Background Job #3)". This makes it easier to identify the dialogs 
      when multiple jobs are running parallely or sequentially.
    ! Background Jobs: Apparently the logging of queued background jobs 
      could get confused under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! SC report: Giving report() an item list caused it to ignore the 
      user-defined column formats. Fixed.
    ! Search Templates: Did not remember the Contents field. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0058.

v10.30.0007 - 2011-09-26 14:25
    + Custom Copy Configuration: Added option "Skip verification on hard 
      disks". Check it to skip verification on hard disks, i.e. when both 
      sources and targets are located on hard disk drives (aka fixed 
      drives). Ticking it is recommended because copying between hard 
      disks is extremely error-safe anyway nowadays, so the verification 
      is not necessary and just increases wear.
      Note that portable external hard drives sometimes show up as fixed 
      instead of removable, i.e. as hard disks. They would be excluded 
      from verification as well if you tick the new option.
    + Full Screen Preview: Now you can trigger the next file using the 
      Space key (as alternative to Down and PageDown). Use Shift+Space 
      to trigger the previous file.
    ! Wipe: Did not work in all locales (date format issue). Fixed.
    ! Wipe: Attempt #2 to fix a Vista/Win7 issue where Wipe would only 
      work with an elevated instance of XYplorer.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0056.

    * Wipe: No more success dialog. Just a status bar message.
    * Wipe: Reset file dates: Now for each file a random date between 
      01.01.2000 and today is used.
    ! Wipe: Attempt to fix a Vista/Win7 issue where Wipe would only work 
      with an elevated instance of XYplorer.
    * Custom Copy: "Remove read-only attribute" on target files from now 
      on is only applied if the source medium is optical. It's the only 
      situation where this settings makes sense anyway.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0055.

v10.30.0005 - 2011-09-21 21:23
    + Thumbnails: The Refresh commands found in the right-click menu of 
      the view related toolbar buttons now give you the choice between 
      speed and quality.
        - Refresh Selected Thumbnails (Faster)
        - Refresh Selected Thumbnails (Better)
      The new choice allows you to quickly check out the difference and 
      to make specific thumbs look better than the average.
      Note that "faster" is equivalent to the global setting "Super-fast 
      thumbnails". When using these Refresh commands the global setting 
      is temporarily ignored.
    * Wipe: Now there is always a confirmation prompt (regardless of the 
      setting of "With Confirmation"). It's just too radical to go 
      unprompted.
    > Wipe: Note that wiping (specifically overwriting a file with 
      zeros) should only be performed on HDs (hard disks), but not on 
      SSDs (solid state drives, e.g. flash drives) where the success of 
      overwriting the bytes with zeros cannot be assured due to the 
      logic of those devices, and where it in fact would only increase 
      wear.
    * XYcopy: "View Log File" now honors PFA (XYplorer's Portable File 
      Associations) and opens the log file with the portably associated 
      program. Before the Windows associated program was used.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0054.

v10.30.0004 - 2011-09-21 12:01
    + Wipe: Wiping files > 2GB is now supported.
    + Wipe: Wiping huge files takes a while (the "Overwrite file with 
      zeros" part, of course), so now you got a little progress in the 
      status bar, and a chance to ESC the operation.
      Since the operation is in the foreground thread you should wait 
      until it is finished. On my system a 6.5 GB file took 55 seconds 
      to be completely wiped.
    ! Custom Move Progress Dialog: Showed "Copying" and "Bytes copied". 
      Fixed. Now it's "Moving" and "Bytes moved"
    * XYcopy 2.00.0053: Internal changes and fixes.
    + New variable <get drives [type] [separator=|]>. Returns a list of 
      drives.
      The "type" parameter corresponds to the Windows drive types 
      enumeration:
        DRIVE_UNKNOWN       = 0
        DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR   = 1
        DRIVE_REMOVABLE     = 2
        DRIVE_FIXED         = 3
        DRIVE_REMOTE        = 4
        DRIVE_CDROM         = 5
        DRIVE_RAMDISK       = 6
      If you omit the "type" parameter then all existing drives are 
      returned.
      Examples:
        text <get drives>; //A:\|C:\|D:\|E:\|F:\|H:\|T:\|X:\|Y:\|Z:\
        text <get drives 0>;  //
        text <get drives 1>;  //Z:\
        text <get drives 2>;  //A:\
        text <get drives 3>;  //C:\|D:\|E:\|F:\|T:\
        text <get drives 4>;  //X:\|Y:\
        text <get drives 5>;  //H:\
        text <get drives 6>;  //
      As always, SC get supports the same argument:
        echo get("drives", 4 , ",");  //X:\,Y:\
