v8.10.0005 - 2009-07-05 12:33
    + Menu View | List Style: Added option "Sticky Selection". This is a 
      selection style known from many apps with multiple selection lists.
      The effect is pretty much identical to holding the CTRL key while 
      you click on an item or hit the space key on the focused item: 
      The previous selections are not touched and the current item's 
      selection state toggles. Also clicking on the white space will not 
      unselect the selected items.
      Sticky Selection is obviously very practical when you work on long 
      lists and want to pick out particular items manually: You won't 
      easily lose your work by the slip of a finger.
      Tip: To unselect all items using the mouse start a drag-select 
      (hold mouse button down and drag a bit), or use Deselect All 
      (Ctrl+Shift+A).
      Note that you won't have the "Rename On Slow Double-Click" 
      functionality when "Sticky Selection" is active.
      Note that obviously "Sticky Selection" will only come to effect 
      when "Multiple Select" is on (which no known user ever turned 
      off).
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   property
      Action: Retrieve a particular property from a file or folder.
      Syntax: property([property], [item])
        property: [optional] name of the desired property
                  defaults to showing Shell Properties dialog
        item:     [optional] name of the file or folder
                  defaults to current path / item
        return:   the desired property
      Examples:
        msg property("FileVersion", "%winsysdir%\msvbvm60.dll");
        msg property("CameraModel", "F:\IMG_1926.JPG");
        msg property("WhenTaken", "F:\IMG_1926.JPG"); //= EXIF date
        msg property("Artist", "1.mp3"); //1.mp3 in current path
        msg property("FileVersion"); //version of current file
        property(, "<xypath>\<xyexe>"); //show Properties for XYplorer
        property(); //show Properties for current item
      Usage:
        This powerful function gives you direct and ultra-fast access to 
        all available properties of all available files and folders on 
        system without any browsing involved!
        Which particular property is available (and how it is called!) 
        depends on the file, the file type, and on your OS. You have to 
        experiment to find out what works.
        For starters here a list of property verbs ("legacy name", left 
        column!):
        http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776504(VS.85).aspx
      Remarks:
      (1) Note that file times ("Write", "Create") are returned as 
          Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is usually not 
          identical to the System Filetime (unless you live around 
          London). See:
          http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx
      (2) Also the formatting of the returned data is completely 
          controlled by the Shell. E.g. the "FileVersion" of 
          XYplorer.exe is returned as "8.10.0.4" as opposed to 
          "8.10.0004" or "8.10.00.04".
    + Tweak to customize the action on Mouse Back Button:
        [Settings]
        CEA_MouseBack=0
      You can choose between the following values/actions:
        0 = Go Back [Default]
        1 = Go Up
    + Tweak to customize the action on Mouse Forward Button:
        [Settings]
        CEA_MouseForward=0
      You can choose between the following values/actions:
        0 = Go Forward [Default]
        1 = Go Down
    + Renamed tweak: OEA_ListRightClickOnWhite is now 
      CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite. Reason: the official term is "Custom 
      Event Action" (CEA) rather than "On Event Action" (OEA).
    ! Could crash when existing while thumbnails were being created. 
      Fixed.

    * List: Now you can stop ongoing thumbnail creation by pressing ESC. 
      You won't get any more thumbnails for that list until you rebrowse 
      it or refresh its thumbnails.
    ! Tab icon was not correctly updated when a removable drive got 
      available again. Fixed.

    + Tweak to exclude particular file types (identified by extension) 
      from the Raw View.
      For example, this would exclude PIP and POP files:
        [Settings]
        NoPrevRaw=pip.pop
      Note that leading and trailing dots in extension lists (.pip.pop.) 
      are still allowed but not necessary anymore.
    * New About box.
    ! With "Synchronize tree with search location" on, a locked mini 
      tree would grow a new branch when selecting a search results tab 
      under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! There was a way to make a drop on script items in the Catalog. 
      Fixed.

      259 (but longer paths worked). Fixed.

    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ Thumbnails: Now you get thumbnails for non-picture files like PDF, 
      HTML, MHT, EML, MSG, Office, and Video files.
  +++ Thumbnails were slow in previous versions. Now they are extremely 
      fast.
  +++ The Full Screen Preview (F11) now works for HTML, MHT, URL, NWS, 
      EML, and MSG files in perfect original size quality.
  +++ Scripting command Report now supports meta properties like Title, 
      Author, Comments etc.
  +++ Jump To Item: An ingenious new feature that allows you to quickly 
      spot any item in a large list, just as you know it from your web 
      browser's Find Bar.
  +++ Improved support for overlong filenames.
  +++ Dual Pane related bug fixes.

v8.00.0018 - 2009-06-30 10:55
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Opening a new Tab and closing it right away selected the wrong 
      Tab. Fixed.

    + Tweak: This can be used either to get mouse buttons 4 & 5 working 
      (set it to 1 = factory default), or -- if you don't have those 
      buttons (or if they work without the extra support!) -- to turn 
      the support off (set it to 0), save some CPU cycles, a bit of 
      memory, and the atmosphere.
        [Settings]
        XButtonSupport=1
    ! Configuration | Tags: You could spoil your database by creating 
      Tags with characters ';' or '|' in the name. This is prevented 
      now. You get a message "Characters ';' and '|' are not allowed in 
      tag names." when you try.
    ! Mouse Down Blow Up: Images were panned that needed no panning 
      because they were exactly the size of the screen. Fixed.
    ! The "XY TRIAL VERSION" label printed on preview images in trial 
      mode was moving far too many pixels through memory. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Added option "Full 
      screen". If checked then the blow up will use the full screen (if 
      necessary), not only XYplorer's main window.
      The option "Shrink to fit window" will then apply to the screen, 
      of course, i.e. it will work as "Shrink to fit screen".
      Note that these settings apply to MDBU on thumbnails as well as to 
      MDBU on the image preview on Info Panel | Preview.
    * Reworked the panning alogrithm for blow ups that need to be 
      panned (because they don't fit completely into the view port).
    * Configuration | Preview: Renamed
      S&hrink larger originals to fit window -> S&hrink to fit window
    * Dialog "Stepping through a Script": Increased width to 600 pixels.
    * Dialog "Stepping through a Script": Script lines larger than 1024 
      characters are now displayed only partly because larger strings 
      slow down the list a bit.
    ! Window title was not correctly updated when going from Search 
      Results to normal browsing via Refresh File List (F5). Fixed.

    ! Info Panel | Preview of PDF (and other formats depending on your 
      system): Before the List lost the focus to the preview without 
      even telling you about it. This is over: Now the list steals the 
      focus back!
    ! Toolbar button "Home" was not correctly updated on pane switches, 
      and on startup. Fixed.

    ! Full Screen Preview: Would actually run media (e.g. MPGs) instead 
      of just showing the preview image. Fixed.
    ! Full Screen Preview of HTML etc.: Wrong positioning of preview 
      depending on setting. Fixed.
    ! Full Screen Preview of HTML etc.: The preview extraction was 
      stupidly done two times for each image. Fixed. Which means the 
      speed doubled. :)
    ! With "Shrink larger originals to fit window" unchecked the MDBU 
      for PDFs (etc.) was mis-aligned and too small. Fixed.
    ! Jump To Item: Would not find item that was focused but not 
      selected, i.e. the item that's right where we are. Fixed.

      new tab.
    ! Startup on pane 2 with only two panes and IP visible would lead to 
      complete freeze. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel was not always reset when switching panes. Fixed.

    * Info Panel: Now the max size of the IP is calculated so that at 
      least one list row is visible, even with a horizontal scrollbar.
    ! Tabs: Fixed drawing glitches where X-buttons would stay visible 
      when they should not, and a hover-effect was not removed after 
      leaving the tab.  
    ! The history of a closed tab was removed even with "History per 
      tab" OFF. Fixed. If the history is global it should not change 
      when a tab is removed.

    + Thumbnails and Preview (Shell-made): Now also the following file 
      types are supported: MHT, URL, NWS, EML, MSG.
    + The Full Screen Preview (F11) now works for HTML, MHT, URL, NWS, 
      EML, and MSG files in perfect original size quality. Even more 
      file types might work depending on your system.
    + Tweak to exclude certain file types (identified by extension) from 
      the shell-made preview and thumbnails.
      This would exclude MHT and URL files:
        [Settings]
        NoPrevShell=.mht.url.
    * Info Panel: Now the max size of the IP is calculated more smartly 
      and takes into account whether it's DP or SP mode, horizontal or 
      vertical DP, and how the top bars are layouted. IOW, there's a 
      good change that your IP can be larger again.    
    % Info Panel | Preview: Now the quality of Shell-made previews is 
      much better, and you can zoom them by enlarging the Info Panel. 
      Also the Mouse Down Blow Up is much larger now.
    ! A blocked list was not refreshed when the unavailable path got 
      available again. Fixed.

    * Configuration | Thumbnails: Renamed
      - S&uper-fast thumbnail creation (at slightly lesser quality)
        -> S&uper-fast thumbnails
      - Create &shell supported thumbnails as well
        -> Show thumbnails for &non-picture files
    * Menu Go | History...: This and similar List-dialogs now got a 
      little "Tips..." button which replaces the tooltip which was just 
      hanging around stupidly.
    * Going back and forward in history now will skip non-existing or 
      non-available paths.
    ! Fixed a refresh issue in Tree after deleting a folder.
    ! A locked Tree was completely reset and jumped to MyComputer under 
      certain conditions. Fixed.
    - Removed the following feature from v5.00.0067 (2006-07-27 13:00). 
      It's counter-intuitive and has been kind of obsolete anyway since we 
      have Default Tabs:
        Tabs: added another anti-tab-proliferation (aka tab gun) 
        measurement. If the current tab is locked and no other tab with 
        exactly the targeted destination location exists, now XY looks 
        for a home zoned tab where this destination would fit. Only if 
        this ain't found either, a new tab is auto-opened. Looking for 
        tabs is always left to right.
