    * Now, when opening a path using the command line switch, a new tab 
      is only created if no tab for that path is already open, else that 
      existing tab is simply selected. Before, a new tab was created 
      always.
    ! When switching from thumbs view to another view while thumbs still 
      being processed, you could experience various degrees of software 
      confusion. Fixed. Now the processing will be stopped first, then 
      you can switch views.
    ! You still could trigger a slow-dbl-click-induced rename with an 
      evil combination of single-clicks and double-clicks and the help 
      of programmed middle-mouse-buttons. But no more. This is finally 
      fixed!

    ! Would not always find an existing server on auto-opening new tab 
      after calling 2nd instance. Fixed.
    ! Menus containing file names with "&" chars treated those chars as 
      accelerators. Fixed.
    - Configuration dialog: removed the "Save Settings Now" button. It 
      was incompatible with the expected work flow. To manually save 
      settings to file (i.e. when you have disabled "Save settings on 
      Exit") use menu File |Configuration File | Save Configuration.

v6.10.0015 - 06.06.07 13:06
    + Configuration | Advanced: added option "Cache specific icons". 
      Enable it to obtain specific icons (e.g. for ICO files) from the 
      shell icon cache. It's faster than accessing the files each time.
      In v6.00.0008 (16.05.07 12:43) I fixed a rare problem with the 
      icon cache:
      ! Icon cache could get confused with items whose icons were drawn 
        from embedded resources (like *.ico, *.exe ...). Such a confusion 
        could be caused by swap-renaming 2 of such items. Fixed.
      However, this fix (which was simply NOT to use the cache for these 
      file types) lead to a slight slowdown in listing files. So I 
      hereby make it optional. I recommend to enable this new option --
      you won't have any problems until you swap-rename two ICO or EXE 
      files. And even then, menu View|Caches|Refresh List Icons Cache 
      will immediately update any wrongly displayed icons (it won't 
      update the cache, though -- I'm still working on this one...).
    ! Would not always find an existing server on start up. Fixed.

    + Toolbar: added button for "Auto-Refresh" (w/ pushed state).
    % Switching directories with "Auto-Refresh" enabled might be a tad 
      faster now.
    ! Wrong column was sorted after drag-moving the sorted column. Fixed.

  %%% Image preview: Now you get highest quality resampling (shrinking, 
      stretching) even with huge pictures! There's still a limit beyond 
      which the resampling will be lower quality, but the limit is much 
      higher now (depending on your system around 20 million square 
      pixels = 4000 x 5000 pixels!).

    ! There was an issue with "Open Command Prompt Here": the command 
      prompt window sometimes/on some systems (mystery...) showed the 
      wrong icon and was grouped together with XY in the taskbar. Thanks 
      to mwb1100, this is fixed now.
    ! Configuration | Previewed Formats: Excluded font files had not 
      been not saved between sessions. Fixed.

v6.10.0007 - 02.06.07 10:08
    + Configuration | Colors | Color Filters: added color coding by file 
      attribute "NOT CONTENT INDEXED". Use this pattern:
        /indexednot  (or /i) -> matches all items with
                                NOT CONTENT INDEXED set
      Tip: If you have no idea what this is, search the web for 
      FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED (aka the "the FANCI bit"). It's 
      around since Win2K.
    + Added "Not [content] indexed" to the attributes on the Properties 
      tab and on the Attributes tab (Find Files), and to the Attributes 
      column in the list.
    ! Find Files tab | Excluded Folders: could not use the Backspace key 
      when renaming an item in this list because it would trigger its 
      assigned hotkey action (default = Go Up). Fixed.

v6.10.0006 - 01.06.07 10:40
    + Font Preview: added field "File name" to the info section. Useful 
      when screenshooting a font sample with information, since font 
      file names often have low resemblance to the actual font names.
      Also underlined the font name, suggesting that you can click this 
      name to (de)activate the font (a fantastic feature for designers 
      that few users seem to know!).
    ! Slow-dbl-click-induced rename was triggered by fast dbl-click 
      since one day. Fixed. Actually this problem could be older on your 
      system if your dbl-click time (aka dbl-click speed) was larger 
      than 300 msec. This is fixed, too.

    + Dbl-click on empty space in list: now, holding CTRL while dbl-
      clicking will move the focused item to the top of the view 
      port, *independent* of the setting of "Dbl-click on empty space goes 
      up".
      Tip: generally, holding CTRL while dbl-clicking the empty will 
      prevent that current selections are lost.

v6.00.0032 - 30.05.07 10:59
    - Configuration | General: removed option "4-bit Icon". Not 
      necessary anymore since 4-but icons are embedded within the app's 
      icon resource.
    + Configuration | Advanced: added option "Dbl-click on empty space 
      goes up" If checked you can use the dbl-click to go up. If unchecked 
      dbl-click will move the focused item to the top of the view port 
      (which is XY's traditioal function for this action).
      Note: "empty space" is actually any space that does not select an 
      item when clicking it. Maybe "cold space" would be a better term, 
      but nobody would understand it...
      Tip: Hold shift while dbl-clicking to go *down* one level!! :)
    ! If "Show folder sizes in file list" was ON, then when starting the 
      app minimized to tray, the icon would appear in the taskbar as well. 
      Fixed.

v6.00.0025 - 29.05.07 11:45
    + Menu File | Info to Clipboard: added command "Item Short 
      Path/Name(s)", which copies the short DOS 8.3 format to the 
      clipboard. Quite useful when trying to write batch files for a 
      resource compiler ;)
    ! CKS: numpad keys (+-/*,) did not work as shortcuts when focus was 
      in edit field. Fixed.
    ! Since the /win command line switch min/max state was not restored 
      anymore when *not* using the switch. Fixed. 
    * App icon: now the 16x16 icon has alpha-transparency as well. And 
      finally there's alpha-transparency all over, even in the app's 
      titlebar, the OS taskbar, and the SysTray!
    * Minimize to Tray: I do not apply the setting of this option 
      anymore (and will soon remove it if all works out okay).
      Reason: I provided 4-bit icons in the new icon resource, so I hope 
      the "4-bit icon" flag is not necessary anymore under any OS. Can 
      you verify this???

    ! The /win command line switch was a bit buggy. Did not work okay 
      when calling a 2nd instance of XY, and when being the only switch. 
      Fixed.

v6.00.0019 - 28.05.07 09:42
    + Added new command line switch to control the window state on start 
      up:
        /win=min      -> start minimized
        /win=max      -> start maximized
        /win=normal   -> start normal
      New overall command line format:
        XYplorer.exe[ /win=min|max|normal][ /ini=myini][ mystartpath]
        (myini must be quoted if it contains spaces)
      The order of commands is relevant: if you use the /win switch it 
      must be the first switch.
    * CKS: 3 new "Miscellaneous" functions:
        "Minimize Window"
        "Maximize Window"
        "Restore Window"
      They come without default shortcuts. Your choice.
      Note: A minimized window does not receive any keyboard input, so 
      unfortunately you cannot minimize the app by one shortcut and then 
      maximize it by another.
    * CKS: new "Miscellaneous" function:
        "Search All Tabs"
      Description: Enter the paths of all tabs in the Find Files 
      Location field. Search Results tabs are excluded.
      Default shortcut: None.
      Allows you to quickly search the folders displayed in all the 
      tabs, no matter how distant they might be from each other.

    * Outlook Drop: Now, if the dropped message has no date set or the 
      date cannot be retrieved for some reason, then the date is defaulted 
      to Now. Before, it was set to 1899-12-30.
    + Find Files, Size: added a little hint about what's going to happen 
      and what not.
    * Vista icon is now 20KB, looks as you know it ("XY"), and has full 
      alpha-transparency (32-bit) in sizes 48, 32, and 16. Also 
      contained are 8-bit versions of those three sizes.
      I have to manually inject these icon resources after each build --
      a PITA, and something I might not do for each BETA version...

    * Same build, but new (100 KB!) icon. Does it look better under 
      Vista? Do not mind the icon itself, it's just a dummy.
