    + Copy/Move/Backup To: now they also recognize path separators as 
      word boundaries.
    * Menu Go: "Go to from Here" now has all the power that "Go to" has 
      since long. The only differences from "Go to":
        - the default path is set to the current path
        - the default path is not pre-selected (makes it easier to "work 
          on it" by keys -- a full selection is only meaningful when you 
          quickly want to replace the whole thing).

    + Focus is now remembered between sessions. If it's not in one of 
      the main controls (Address Bar, Tree, List, Catalog) it will 
      default to Tree.
    + Address Bar and Find Files Location field: now these edit fields 
      recognize the following path separators as word boundaries: \:?|
      Which means: pressing Ctrl-Shift-Left/Right now selects the 
      previous/next folder in a displayed path. Nice!
      Note how superior XY is to Explorer: the latter also recognizes 
      space, &, -, _ (and many more characters that are often used in 
      folder names) as word separators in the Address Bar. Who needs 
      this?
    ! Toolbar icons show distorted colors under certain XP themes. 
      Fixed now??

    * CKS: The "Miscellaneous" category is now subdivided into sections.
    * After (un)applying a Visual Filter the focused item is now not 
      only kept in view if possible, but as well kept in exactly the 
      same screen position if possible.

v6.10.0053 - 03.07.07 12:39
    + CKS: new "Miscellaneous" command "Switch Focus between Files and 
      Folders". Description: In the List, if a folder is focused move the 
      focus to the first file from top, and vice versa. And focus the 
      List if not focused anyway.
      Quite a useful command for keyboard-oriented power-users!
    * After (un)applying a Visual Filter the focused item is now kept in 
      view if possible. Hey, it even works with VF on Search Results.
    * CKS: "Miscellaneous" command "Center Window" now does restore the 
      window in case it is maximized and then centers it.
    ! Tree and List: after a failed rename (e.g. because the new name 
      already existed), the focus was not always put right back to the 
      edit box, so that you had to manually re-focus it in order to close 
      it. Fixed.
    * Find Files: from now on -- experimentally -- Auto-Refresh is auto-
      suspended for a Search-Results-listing (aka Finding tab). In other 
      words: Search Results are now frozen unless you explicitly 
      (re)activate Auto-Refresh on them. We'll see whether we like it...
    * When you enable Auto-Refresh you get an immediate automatic 
      Refresh File List (F5) since v6.10.0045. New: this will *not* 
      happen with search results. To trigger a (re-)search you have to 
      press F3 or F5.

v6.10.0052 - 01.07.07 09:22
    * Menu View | Columns: Removed "Restore Column Sequence from Factory 
      Default". Its functionality is taken over by the slightly modified 
      and renamed neighboring commands: "Define Current Column Setup as 
      Default" and "Restore Column Setup from Default" The "Default" is 
      set to the factory setup on a fresh installation. You can the 
      change it to your likings.
      BTW: After using "Define Current Column Setup as Default" we 
      celebrate the return of the message box (no more feedback on the 
      statusbar). Since it is expected that you rather rarely change 
      your default column setup, a message box is suitable here.
    * Menu File | Configuration File: "Save Configuration" now saves the 
      current INI file (usually XYplorer.ini), the keyboard shortcuts 
      database (ks.dat), the catalog database (catalog.dat), and (if 
      enabled) the cached servers database (servers.dat). The latter 
      (the updating of servers.dat by this command) is a new feature.
    ! Selections were corrupted on a Refresh File List (F5) in a 
      subfolder-including search results listing if the selections 
      contained several same-named items. Reason: the same-named items' 
      different paths were disregarded. Fixed.
    ! History: currently unavailable locations were not added to the 
      history, with the result of slightly unexpected behaviors when 
      navigating via history. Fixed.

    + CKS dialog: added command "Close Dialog and Trigger Command" to 
      the Commands List's context menu. Allows you to trigger any 
      command right from here!
      Especially useful with the miscellaneous commands, which are not 
      available anywhere else. You now can use them without having to 
      assign a shortcut first.
    + CKS: new "Miscellaneous" command "Center Window". Description: 
      Center window in screen. Works only if window is neither maximized 
      nor minimized.
      Especially useful when you lost the main window on a 2nd monitor 
      that's switched off.
    + Menu Edit: added command "Select All Files" (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M). 
      Selects all files in the List, not the folders.
    * Menu View | Columns: "Define Current Column Widths and Sequence as 
      User Default" is now called "Define Current Column Setup as &User 
      Default" and includes the columns' visibility.
      And, instead of a nagging message box you now get a feedback on 
      the statusbar.
    * Equally, "Restore Column Widths and Sequence from User Default" is 
      now called "Restore Column Setup from User Default" and includes 
      the columns' visibility.

    + Backup: now a failure to copy a certain item when using the 
      "Backup [To]" function is analyzed into one of three categories:
        (1) Source Too Long (> 260 chars)
        (2) Target Too Long (> 260 chars)
        (3) For Other Reasons
      If you use the backup log option (Configuration|Report), you can 
      now easily see which items were too long to be copied and manually 
      do something about it.    
      When a failure happens, the statusbar progress now turns red.    
    + Added "Filter Out Selected Extension(s)" to the VF toolbar button 
      context menu.
    - Removed this smart feature (from v5.40.0029 - 23.11.06 12:49) 
      because it was just too smart.
        Added a smart (sorry!) toggle to "Filter by Selected 
        Extension(s)" [Ctrl+Alt+J]: if the current VF is exactly the 
        same as the new one would be, VF is turned off. So using 
        [Ctrl+Alt+J] two times brings you back to unfiltered view.

    + CKS: unlocked two shortcuts, Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown. They 
      had been locked from usage because they belong to the standard 
      navigation keys of Windows lists (they move the focus pageup/down 
      without changing the selections). However, this usage is not very 
      important and probably not even very known. And, more important, 
      it has been superseded recently by another more important usage in 
      many apps: Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown are quite commonly used 
      to cycle through the tabs in tabbed interfaces (e.g. Firefox, IE7, 
      Windows Tabbed Dialogs, Excel...).
      I even made them the (secondary) default keys for cycling tabs, so 
      coming fresh from the factory you'll have:
        Cycle Tabs Backward:  Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Ctrl+PageUp
        Cycle Tabs Forward:   Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+PageDown
      Note: Of course, when Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown are assigned 
      to cycling tabs (or to whatever you like), they lose their 
      functionality of moving the focus in lists.
    + Menu View | Current Tab: added command "Filter Out Selected 
      Extension(s)". Sets a Visual Filter to *not* show items with the 
      same extension(s) as the List's selected item(s). In other words: 
      hide the items of the currently selected type(s). Default KS: 
      Ctrl+Shift+Alt+J.
    * Toolbar: tuned some of the "Window"-menu related icons, again.

    * When you enable Auto-Refresh you now get an immediate automatic 
      Refresh File List (F5) with it, because a fresh list right now is 
      very likely what you want when going for Auto-Refresh.
    ! Toolbar's Auto-Refresh buttons were not updated when changing 
      Auto-Refresh via Configuration dialog. Fixed.
    ! Raw View: Extracting text from binary files created an empty file 
      when the currently scanned file was renamed during the process. 
      Fixed.
    * Toolbar: tuned some of the "Window"-menu related icons.

    * Toolbar: "Show/Hide Tree" has a new icon, a new name ("Show/Hide 
      Navigation Panel"), and a new logic: Now the button is pressed when 
      the Navigation Panel (= Tree (and Catalog)) is shown.
    * When you reactivate Auto-Refresh by disabling "Suspend Auto-
      Refresh" you now get an immediate automatic Refresh File List (F5) 
      with it, because a fresh list is very likely what you want when 
      you move back to the fresh side.
    ! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Excluded formats were forgotten 
      if Configuration dialog was OKed and the Previewed Formats tab had 
      not been shown (and the lists not been filled). Fixed.
    + INI Tweak: SetFocusToListAfterCatalog.
    * Menu Window: the old "High Tree" option is now called "Wide Info 
      Panel", and moved up from the "Layout" submenu to the main "Window" 
      menu. Also the toolbar button graphics of "Wide Info Panel" 
      (before "High Tree") and "Show Info Panel" were swapped, 
      suggesting that the new default state is a non-wide Info Panel.

    ! Dbl-click on empty space in list: did not go up when the list was 
      empty. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb showed fictitious folder under certain circumstances. 
      Fixed.
    * Preview of videos: removed the "Snapshot" button. Instead added a 
      "Snapshot Video Preview" command to the media preview dropdown menu, 
      plus a Miscellaneous keyboard shortcut defaulting to Ctrl+F11.

        In Windows 2000 and XP (and Vista?):
        - Right-click on desktop
        - Select Properties->Settings->Advanced->Troubleshoot
        - Then set the hardware acceleration slider to the third notch 
          (from left) and apply the changes

    > Here's what happens when you start XY with startpath in command 
      line, in wild man's code:
        If any existing tab points to that path
          select this tab
        else
          if 1st instance
            if it is not locked AND
            if "Open command line start path in new tab" is false
              overwrite the current tab 
            else
              create new tab
          else [2nd instance]
            create new tab
    ! With "Don't save tabs" enabled, passing the startpath via command 
      line resulted in a superfluous blank tab on startup. Fixed.

    + Configuration | General: added option "Clear tabs on exit". If 
      enabled then it does what it says: clear the tabs, so that only the 
      current tab will there on the next restart.
      Note: Just as with "Clear history on exit" this option actually 
      means that the current tabs are not stored to the INI file in the 
      moment the ini file is written. Which means, that if you exit 
      without saving, this setting has no effect at all; also, when you 
      click "Save Configuration" then the tabs will not be saved if 
      "Clear tabs on exit" is enabled. Same with "Clear history on 
      exit". Hence these options are totally misnamed! See next 
      paragraph...
    * Configuration | General: renamed two options:
        "Clear tabs on exit"      -> "Don't save tabs"
        "Clear history on exit"   -> "Don't save history"
    * Now, when passing the startpath via command line parameter, any 
      existing tab pointing to that path will opened. When none is found, 
      a new tab is created.
      Of course, when you enable "Open command line start path in new 
      tab" then always a new tab is created.
