    + Image Preview: added better *.max and *.tga support (but it only 
      works if Windows supports these formats).
    ! Better solution for the run-time error '10' issue. Now you can 
      expand any folders while getting folder sizes in the current folder 
      is going on. And get no bug.
    + Toolbar: new button "Open Recycle Bin" featuring a context menu 
      with some Recycle Bin commands.

v5.60.0026 - 27.02.07 13:01
    + Added the possibility to experimentally add file types, identified 
      by their extension, to the image preview. This feature is 
      currently in the hard-core stage, so you have to edit the INI file 
      manually. Goto the section [Settings] and find the key 
      "ImagePreviewCustomExtensions" near the end of the list (the key 
      is only there after you have run and closed this version at least 
      one time!).
      The format of the values is "dot-[extension-dot-]extension-dot". 
      So it could look like this, for example:
        [Settings]
        ImagePreviewCustomExtensions=.max.yax.zax.
    + Statusbar sections now have tooltips. Useful to read overlong 
      contents.
    ! Drives containing any of these chars °+~! in their display name 
      would not be accessible from the toolbar's Drives button. Fixed.
    ! Rare but real crash (run-time error '10') on hyperactive browsing 
      with "Show Folder Sizes in File List" ON. Fixed.

    ! Rare but real crash (run-time error '9' or '10' depending on the 
      nano-second you clicked) on hyperactive browsing with "Show Folder 
      Sizes in File List" ON. Fixed.
    ! Double-click on drives in MyComputer did not work. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Version: version info for the following file types 
      was not shown:
      - Photoshop filters (*.8bf) 
      - FON files (*.fon)
      Fixed.

    ! Fixed some relativity glitches (see v5.60.0022 +++ ...).
    * Menu File: Preview (Ctrl+Q) now hides the info panel if it is 
      visible, preview tab active, and no file selected/previewed.
    ! Auto-Refresh did not work in Win95 (Win98, neither???). Fixed.
    ! Browse For Folder dialogs did not work alright in Win9x.
      Fixed, part 2.

  +++ Everything is relative! Relative to application path.
      Now Catalog, Address Bar, Favorites, and Goto accept the following 
      relative syntax:
      If the running XYplorer instance is located at 
            C:\Programs\XYplorer\
      then
        (a) ?:\Programs\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
        (b) XYplorer.ini
        (c) ..\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
      are all resolved to
            C:\Programs\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
      Note, that also Catalog drop targets (folders and files) can be 
      relative now. Total portability.
    + Menu Tools | List Management | File Associations: now the 
      Browse... button works and helps you to select an executable.
      Note, that in the "Browse for Folder (File, Executable)" dialog 
      when you select a LNK file it is automatically resolved to its 
      target.
    ! Browse For Folder dialogs did not work alright in Win98. Fixed.

    + Find Files Tab: now you can (de)activate search filters by 
      - Ctrl+Clicking the tab headers
      - Right-Clicking the tab headers
    ! The new "Suspend Auto-Refresh" was not "suspending enough" to 
      manually unlock a watched USB drive to allow a safe remove.
      Now it is.

v5.60.0020 - 20.02.07 19:02 (The Nubbel Edition)
    + Menu View: added toggle-command "Suspend Auto-Refresh". Will 
      immediately and temporarily stop (resp. reactivate) any auto-
      refreshing for the current location, without changing the general 
      Auto-Refresh setting. Auto-Refresh is automatically reactivated 
      (only if Auto-Refresh is ON, of course) when the current location 
      is changed.
      Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+R
    * Menu View | Current Tab | Sort By | Random Order:
      New Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+R (same as AltGr+R)
    + Rename Special | Search and Replace...: muchachos, now the default 
      modo de operación is case-insensitive (i.e. case differences are 
      ignored, A=a). To force case-sensitive hamdling suffix a backslash 
      "\". For example, on a file Gnu.jpg:
        gnu/lion    -> lion.jpg
        gnu/lion\   -> Gnu.jpg [unchanged because no match]
      No big surprise, since the "\"-switch is already used since long 
      in "RegExp Rename...".
    * Menu File: Preview (Ctrl+Q) now toggles Preview (resp. Raw View, 
      depending on the selected Info Panel tab) of the current file 
      ON/OFF.
      Ctrl+Space can be used to a quite similar effect, but only if the 
      List has the input focus. Ctrl+Q, on the other hand, works always, 
      and it leaves the selection state untouched.

v5.60.0015 - 17.02.07 12:01
    + You can already (un)apply a Visual Filter to the current listing 
      by "browsing to" the filter argument alone (without any path given). 
      Now, this works also for search results.
      For example, go to:
        |*.txt    to set a VF "*.txt" to current path (or search results)
        |         to unset any VF to current path (or search results)
      You could add a Catalog item called "Show Texts Only" and point it 
      to "|*.txt". Or one called "Remove any Visual Filter" and point it 
      to "|".
    * Catalog item context menu: reorganized the top 4 commands so that 
      Open and Goto are both always available from the menu. Just the 
      default (bold) command changes with the item's setting of "Open on 
      Click".
    ! Fixed a number of glitches with the new "Open on Click".
    ! Tree context menu: Open In New Background Tab (Ctrl+Click) removed 
      any Visual Filter from the current tab. Fixed.
    ! Name Search results did not accept setting a Visual Filter. Fixed.
    * Changed "Visual Filter" and "Open on Click" overlay icons.

v5.60.0012 - 15.02.07 12:45
  +++ Catalog: added item property "Open on Click".
      - If checked, a single click or [Enter] on this Catalog item will 
        open it: An EXE file will be launched; any other file type will be 
        opened with the associated application (minding XY's own file 
        associations).
        As visual feedback you'll see an overlay on the item's icon.
      - If unchecked, a single click or [Enter] will just go to the item.
      Note that "Open on Click" is obviously incompatible with a Name 
      Search or Visual Filter. You cannot have both in one item and 
      expect it to work.
      Note that in previous versions (and still now) you could achieve a 
      similar behavior by manually prefixing "file:///" to the item 
      data. However, apart from being cumbersome, this way does not mind 
      XY's own file associations.
    * Catalog context menu: changed captions "Open..." to "Go to..." to 
      avoid confusion with the new "Open on Click".
    + Catalog: added command "Add Current Tab Location Here" to the 
      context menu. Allows you to add the current tab's location to the 
      Catalog by one click, including any Name Search or Visual Filter 
      specs.
    * Catalog: cooled down the hot scrolling (auto-scrolling when drag-
      hovering the upper or lower margins of a long list) a bit. Before, 
      it was impossible to drop something onto the top or bottom row 
      because scrolling immediately set in. Now, scrolling sets in only 
      when hovering the upper half of the top row resp. lower half of the 
      bottom row.
    + Catalog: items with a Visual Filter now have an icon plus an 
      overlay that tries to look like the toolbar's Visual Filter button.
    + Tabs: also added the new Visual Filter icon overlay to the tab 
      icons. It might be overdone... you tell me, please.
    * Tabs: slightly changed the look of the Default tab icon overlay, 
      as to better distinguish it from the "Open on Click" overlay.
    ! Menu View|Current Tab: "Copy Location Term" did not include any 
      Visual Filters. Fixed.
    + Find Files: Follow Folder Links can easily lead to endless 
      recursion if a folder link points to a parent of its own location. 
      Now, those links are simply not followed anymore.

v5.60.0011 - 14.02.07 11:56
    + Drop-On-File now supports other archive formats and EXEs as drop 
      targets:
        *.exe *.zip *.gz *.gzip *.tar *.cab *.arj *.rar *.7z
      Note that the actual Shell integration (droppability) of these 
      formats depends on the configuration of the respective software. 
      Usually you can enable Shell integration somewhere in the 
      software's settings.
    + Drop-On-File: now you can move items into an archive via drag-n-
      drop by holding Shift when dropping. The moved items are deleted 
      (recycle bin) after the packing is done.
    ! Find Files: (Un)checking Auto-sync should not activate the filter Name, as 
      it's not part of it but an option for Location, which is independent 
      of filters. Fixed.
    ! Find Files: The percentage of fuzziness used wasn't set when 
      loading a search template. Fixed.
    * Catalog: before, you could drag catalog items to a new position 
      using the left and also the *right* mouse button, which lead to mild 
      conflicts with the context menu which is also triggered by releasing 
      the right button. From now on, this works only with the left button.

  +++ Now Drop-on-Zip is supported in List and Catalog! This is a great 
      enhancement because the feature has been a massive miss for years.
      Note that, for the time being ZIP-archives are simply assumed to be 
      able to act as drop targets, without any checking to avoid speed 
      suffering.
    + Menu File: added command Properties (Alt+Enter). Show the Shell 
      Properties dialog for the focused item.
      Note: when you press Alt+Enter you will hear a beep sound. There 
      seems to be no way to suppress this. You can, however, avoid the beep, 
      when you press AltGr+Enter or Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
    ! Tree/List items context menu: over the years some users have 
      experienced incompatibilities between XYplorer and certain custom 
      shell extensions. Sloppily programmed shell extensions would knock 
      out XYplorer on right-clicking a file. This problem is fixed now!
    ! Shell drag-n-drop context menu was missing the Create Shortcut(s) 
      Here command. Fixed.
    * Find Files | Reset Filters: from now on this command will *not* 
      reset the Location settings (Include Subfolders etc.) but leave them 
      untouched.

    + List Management | Fav Files | Browse: now you can select files.
    ! Using the new Browse button in the lists of List Management 
      crashed XY if the lists were empty. Fixed.
    + Toolbar: added context menu to the "Show Hidden Items" button, 
      containing all major show/hide toggles from Configuration|General.
    + Menu View: reorganized the Refresh section (moved Auto Refresh 
      up), and added a Show Items submenu containing all major show/hide 
      toggles from Configuration|General.
    ! Menu Edit | Show All Items In Branch (Ctrl+F3): always took the 
      location shown in the Find Files Locatino field which, of course, 
      was the wrong one when Auto Sync was OFF. Fixed.
    * Note that a Name Search (e.g. via Address Bar using "?" operator) 
      *does* update the Location field *if* Auto Sync is OFF! This is 
      also true for "Show All Items In Branch (Ctrl+F3)" because it is 
      nothing but a recursive Name Search on the current location.
    ! Doing a search on a not-yet-expanded tree folder yielding no 
      folders in the search results lead to removal of the plus icon in 
      front of the tree folder. Fixed.
    ! Vista issue with drag-n-drop context menu... tried something else.

    + List Management: added icons and a Browse button to all lists 
      where applicable. A missing icon means either a location does not 
      exists, or the item is no location (but e.g. a search term).
      The Browse button updates the currently selected list item.
    + Menu Tools: added command "Browse for &Network Server..." that 
      allows you to browse the network and select an accessible computer 
      via the Shell interface.
    + Toolbar: new button "Browse for &Network Server..." (see above).
    + Tree: now the Nethood (aka My Network Places) node has a right-
      click context menu featuring the command "Browse for &Network 
      Server..." (see above).

    + Toolbar: added button to toggle Last Size/Minimize Info Panel.
    * Toolbar: when you remove all buttons the toolbar now will fall 
      back to the default state that is used on a fresh installation:
        back,fore,up,hotlist,drives,-,cut,copy,paste,del,-,conf
      Before it showed all available buttons in that case, which is 
      somewhat counter-intuitive...
    * Now, when trying to go to a currently inaccessible drive or 
      server, you are told so, and won't go nowhere. Before you were 
      silently deported to Desktop.
    ! Exiting the app while a backup process was still going on lead to 
      interesting effects reminding to a Zombie after-life. Fixed. RIP.
