    * SC run enhanced: Added parameter directory.
      Syntax: run command, [directory], [wait=0]
        command: module name plus (optionally) arguments
                 module names containing blanks must be quoted
        [directory]: working directory, allows you to skip the path in 
                     command; defaults to current path
        [wait]:    
          0 = [default] return immediately and continue the script
          1 = only continue when the shelled process has finished
      Examples:
        ::run "ReadmeXY.txt", "C:\Programme\XYplorer\";
        ::run "notepad Edit.txt",,1; //open Edit.txt using notepad _
            in current path

    * SC run: Now there's a modal dialog while the shelled process is 
      being active. It blocks you from doing anything but wait or cancel 
      the waiting and continue with the script.
    ! Scripting: Parsing multiline scripts still went wrong where TABs 
      were used in place of spaces. Fixed. Now all TABs outside single or 
      double quotes are replaced by spaces.
    * Info Panel: Changed "apply" icon for time-stamping from green 
      cross to green tick.
    * Updated the help file.

    * SC run experimentally enhanced:
      Syntax: run command, [wait=0]
        command: module name plus (optionally) arguments
                 module names containing blanks must be quoted
        wait:    
          0 = return immediately and continue the script
          1 = only continue when the shelled process has finished
      Examples:
        ::run '"C:\Programme\WinZip\WINZIP32.EXE" -min', 1;
          msg "Done!"; //shows "Done!" when WinZip is closed
        ::run "notepad C:\Programme\XYplorer\ReadmeXY.txt", 1;
          msg "Done!" //shows "Done!" when notepad is closed
      
      Notes
      ~~~~~
      Contrary to using "run" with wait=0, wait=1 is not fully identical 
      to the Windows Run command: Not all sorts of commands work, there 
      is less smartness built in.
      For example, you cannot call documents that will be opened by the 
      associated application. This will NOT work:
        ::run "C:\Programme\XYplorer\ReadmeXY.txt", 1; //NO JOY
      You also canNOT use short forms like this:
        ::run winzip, 1; //NO JOY
      However this works (don't know why, maybe because it's in the path):
        ::run notepad, 1; //OKAY
        
    ! Catalog: Drag'n'Drop got a bit confused when you stated paths with 
      wrong capitalization (which under Windows should not matter). 
      Fixed.
    ! Scripting: Parsing multiline scripts went wrong when lines began 
      with a mix of TABs and spaces. Fixed.

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   StrRepeat
      Action: Repeats a string
      Syntax: strrepeat(string, count)
        string:   string to be repeated
        count:    number of repetitions
        return:   repeated string
      Example:
        echo strrepeat("abc", 2); //abcabc
    * SC loadtree: Now the pathlist parameter is optional and defaults 
      to the current path if missing.
      Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify=0]
    ! Crash when selecting EXE with malformed version info. Fixed.
    ! Find Files tab: Location box showed Visual Filter overlay when 
      multiple locations were separated by "|". Fixed.
    ! Tree folder context menu: "Create New Subfolder here" did enter 
      rename mode for the wrong folder when tree was locked. Fixed. No 
      rename mode is entered in tree since the new folder is not part of 
      the locked tree.
    ! Folder View Settings: Auto-changed default FV wasn't updated after 
      changing list modes. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: When parsing multiline scripts, all Tab chars were 
      replaced by two spaces. Fixed.
    ! CKS dialog: "Copy Cheat Sheet" using "Scope" created a messed up 
      layout because "Triggered on KeyDown" was printed on a new line. 
      Fixed.

      failed or was cancelled".

    + Media Preview: Added minimal media control buttons. Both "Play" 
      and "Pause" have identical functionality, namely toggle Play / 
      Pause, with inverse pressed-states. "Stop" rewinds to beginning 
      and stops there.      
    * Media Preview: Swapped buttons' functionality when clicking 
      progress bar. Now you *Left*-click to seek a new position (which 
      is the expected behavior), and you *Right*-click to play/pause.
    ! Media Preview: Fixed some glitches with Audio-CD playing.

    + Media Preview: Now the progress bar's tooltip shows the timeline 
      position of the cursor.
    + Media Preview: Added keyboard-driven backwind and forewind. Works 
      in paused and running mode, on audio and video.
          Left:   Frame step backward   (Audio: 100 msec backward)
          Right:  Frame step forward    (Audio: 100 msec forward)
          Shift+Left:   1 sec backward
          Shift+Right:  1 sec forward
    ! Media Preview: Rounding error in frames per second calculation let 
      to one-off under certain circumstances. E.g. the typical FLV video 
      file has 25 fps but XY showed only 24 fps. Fixed.

v7.90.0016 - 2008-12-20 17:36
    + Media Preview: Added a way to repeat any particular section of the 
      medium (audio or video), aka "A-B repeat". Looping must be enabled 
      (tick "Play Again") to make it happen. The section is defined by 
      clicking anywhere (no matter where) on the progress bar while the 
      medium is previewed (no matter whether running or paused):
          Ctrl+LeftClick:   Set start of section to now
          Ctrl+RightClick:  Set end of section to now
          Ctrl+Alt+Click:   Unset any section
      If a section start is defined then "Go To Beginning" (Shift+Space, 
      or Shift+Click) will go to the beginning of the section.
      There is no visual marking of the section, so this is a low-
      comfort / low-documentation feature for the time being. But it 
      works okay and can be useful.
      The section is auto-unset when you preview the next file.

    + Spot now supports an unlimited number of strings, separated by | 
      (pipe). Four predefined colors are rotated.
      For example:
        >7.|xy|2008| |-|~

    + Added "Spot" (working title): A new highlighting feature inspired 
      by the Google Toolbar and the Firefox Searchbar. For the time 
      being it has no separate GUI but can be invoked via the Address 
      Bar (or any of the other location interfaces). Simply type in a 
      string prefixed with ">" and press Enter. The string will be 
      highlighted in the file list wherever it's found (case-
      insensitive: a=A).
      For example:
        >p    [Enter]   = highlight all letters "p" and "P"
      To turn it off again type a single ">":
        >     [Enter]
      The highlighting is not retained across sessions.

      lost its outer quotes across sessions. Fixed.

    + Added new file type to the set of previewed Web & Office formats:
        *.xps   XML Paper Specification
                aka "Microsoft's PDF competitor"
      XPS files can be previewed only if your system supports it. For 
      example to enable XPS support on Windows XP SP3, you can install 
      the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. There are other ways, too.
    ! Various controls (Tree, List, Catalog, Tabs) allowed dbl-clicks 
      from other than the left mouse button to be processed as dbl-
      clicks. Fixed: Now only left-button dbl-clicks count as dbl-
      clicks.
    ! Mini Tree: With Mini Tree enabled, passing the startpath via 
      command line didn't work, nor did setting a permanent startpath. 
      Both fixed.

    ! Find Files: "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM) -- AND-combining patterns 
      using " " (space) in Standard Mode -- did not work as expected 
      when the patterns contained certain words or characters that are 
      used in Boolean search patterns, e.g. " and ", " or ", " & ", or 
      "(". Fixed.
      BTW, note that OR-combining patterns (using ";") has precedence 
      over LBM, so the following search term (in Standard Mode)
        a;b c
      is interpreted as
        "*a*" OR "*b c*"
      and not as
        "*a;b*" AND "*c*"
    * Find Files | "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM): in v5.50.0008 (2007-01-
      06 12:26) a feature was added where you could invert/negate the 
      individual arguments of the LBM search term:
        Desktop?a b !c    Find all items that contain the characters
                          a and b, but not c in their name.
      This is not supported anymore! To achieve this you should use the 
      full Boolean syntax instead:
        Desktop?:a & b & !c
      What you still can do is invert the *whole* LBM expression by 
      prefixing a "!":
        Desktop?!a b c    Find all items that do not contain the
                          characters a and b and c in their name.
    ! List: Since about 3 weeks ago, XY reported drives as "currently 
      not available" when they were in fact just empty. Fixed.

      supported (codepages Windows-1255 and Windows-1256).
    ! Mini Tree: Fixed some glitches with the locked Mini Tree where 
      folders were automatically added (which should never happen on a 
      locked tree).

    + Configuration | Startup & Exit: Now tells you when the instance 
      was started and how long it is running (difference between startup 
      time and now). The maximum duration that can be displayed is 68 
      years, 35 days, 3 hrs, 14 mins, 7 secs. Should suffice even for 
      larger file copy operations on Vista... ;)
    * Configuration: Reorganized the previous "Report" page. Now it's 
      two pages, "Templates" and "Reporting".
