v5.50.0012 - 12.01.07 14:55
    * File Info Tips: they are not shown anymore for items on mapped 
      drives just as they haven't been shown for items on UNC paths 
      before. Maybe this is the cause for mysterious network browsing 
      delays...
    ! Statusbar showed idiotic "Mark this folder" help text when 
      hovering over shell ctx menu separators. Fixed.
    ! Batch Rename: (since v5.50.0006) when using the self-referential 
      wildcard "*" but no number increment argument (e.g. "<#01>"), a 
      number increment was appended anyway. Fixed.
    * Tab headers breadcrumb (BC) menu: now, the disabled state of a BC 
      menu item relates to the current tab's location, but the checked 
      state relates to the tab's location the BC belongs to.
    ! Since v5.50.0011, crash when trying to delete a network folder 
      with auto-refresh on but exlcuding network paths. Fixed.
    ! Visual Filter and Selection Filter crashed when entering the 
      pattern "[". Fixed. Not only won't it crash no more, but you can 
      actually use that pattern to filter/select items containing "[".
    % Find Files: patterns are now validated before running a search 
      instead of catching any pattern related errors while searching. In 
      consequence searching became 1-2% faster, heyho!

    ! Tab headers breadcrumb popping is not compatible with multi-search 
      locations on a finding tab. Radical fix: do not pop the breadcrumb 
      on a finding tab.
    ! Backspace (to GoUp) key did not work with focus on List or Catalog 
      since v5.50.0010. Fixed.
    % Network browsing delay: made a brute force attack on a potential 
      culprit. You won't see any icons on the info panel properties tab in 
      this version. Is it any faster now???

v5.50.0010 - 10.01.07 12:40
    ! When deleting a tree folder with auto-refresh ON, it could happen 
      that the app lost focus and another app moved to the foreground. 
      Fixed.
    ! Fixed a number of glitches conc the new tab headers breadcrumb.
    * "Loose Boolean Match", slight change of operator scope:
        before: !a !b   = !(a !b)     = NOT (a AND (NOT b))
           now: !a !b   = (!a) (!b)   = (NOT a) AND (NOT b)
      Much simpler/less confusing than before.
    + In the "About" window you are now told how many licences you 
      actually have bought. I heard that some few companies tend to 
      overestimate that number.
      Note that this feature will only work correctly with the new 
      license key that soon will be available for all registered 
      customers. The number is set to "1" with the current license key 
      even if more licenses have been bought.

v5.50.0008 - 06.01.07 12:26
    + Tab headers: now, when you right-click the icon in any tab-header, 
      the breadcrumb menu of that tab's location is popped up at your 
      mouse cursor. Cool. But even cooler: when you select a path 
      portion in that breadcrumb menu then the location of the *current 
      tab* is changed accordingly. So you can "inject" locations from 
      other tabs into your current tab!
    + List: in the drives listing (select MyComputer in Tree) now you 
      can rename volume labels (drive display names) as expected by 
      pressing F2.
    + Addendum to "Loose Boolean Match":
      - You may in fact invert/negate the individual arguments of the 
        search term:
        Desktop?a b !c    Find all items that contain the characters
                          a and b, but not c in their name.
        Desktop?(!a !b !c)  Find all items that do not contain the
                            characters a, b, or c in their name.
          You need those parentheses because "!a !b !c" is interpreted 
          as "!(a !b !c)" because the first "!" applies to the whole 
          pattern. Is that confusing...? Should I take the first "!" 
          just for the first argument??
    % Faster start up by skipping CDROM drives' availability check at 
      start up.
    % Faster network browsing when going via folders displayed in list 
      view.
    % Faster start up when starting on a now unavailbale network location.
    % Faster network browsing when "Show hidden file and folders" or 
      "Show system file and folders" are OFF. These attribute checks can 
      take plenty of time with network locations, so I simply quit doing 
      those checks for network locations.

v5.50.0007 - 05.01.07 11:18
    + Find Files: added "Loose Boolean Match" (LBM) as default behavior 
      for search patterns consisting of two or more strings separated by 
      blanks and not containing any wildcards.
      For example, "work 2006" (without the quotes) will find all items 
      that have "work" and "2006" somewhere in their name (regardless of 
      the order). In other words, "work 2006" is internally-smartly-
      automatically-conveniently transmutated into the Boolean 
      expression "*work* AND *2006*" (in XY syntax = ":work & 2006").
      Tips:
      - To avoid LBM and find all items containing "work 2006" somewhere 
        in their name enclose it in asterisks: "*work 2006*".
      - To avoid LBM and find all items matching "work 2006" exactly put 
        it in quotes (a leading quote is enough).
      - Note that LBM can be inverted by "!", and it does work from the 
        Address Bar as well, for example:
        Desktop?a b c     Find all items that contain the characters
                          a, b, and c in their name.
        Desktop?!a b c    Find all items that do not contain all the 
                          characters a, b, and c in their name (but
                          only some or none of them).
    + Further enhancements to Full Screen Preview:
      - Now it will stay up on task switch (Alt+Tab) and the like...
      - Made it modal and gave it a caption ("XYplorer Full Screen 
        Preview") that allows you to identify it in the task list.
      - Smoother toggle of background color (Numpad Subtract).
    + Toolbar: added a special context menu (identical to the Views 
      submenu) to the "Views" and "Toggle Details/Thumbnails 1 View" 
      toolbar buttons.
    ! Crash on New Tab (Ctrl+T) in a freshly installed instance (since 
      v5.50.0005). Fixed.

v5.50.0006 - 03.01.07 12:56
    + Tree: now you can rename volume labels (drive display names) as 
      expected by pressing F2.
    + Tree: refreshing the tree (F4) or the current folder (Shift+F4) 
      will now also refresh the volume labels.
    + Batch Rename: added a quick and easy way. If you simply give a 
      string with no increment or datestamp arguments, then the Number 
      Suffix for filenames (as stated in Configuration|Report) is 
      automatically taken as increment template.
      For example, if your Number Suffix is "-00" and you use "Test" as 
      template in Batch Rename then all selected files will be renamed 
      to:
        Test-01.jpg
        Test-02.jpg
        Test-03.png (yep, extension preserved)
        ... etc.
    + Enhancements to Full Screen Preview:
      - High-quality zoom/shrink.
      - Safer handling of huge files.
      - Support for UNICODE-named files.
      - Smoother toggle of info label (Numpad multiply).
      - Trial Version nag label.
    + Added the new unselect-by-keys functionality (cf v5.50.0005) to 
      the edit box of the Move/Copy-Here-As dialog (actually to all 
      dialogs with a simple edit box, since they are all instances of 
      the same class), and to the Tree's Rename edit box.
      This enhancement includes Ctrl+A to "select all".
    ! If "Show system files and folders" was OFF, you could not go to 
      root drives via Go To, Catalog, etc. This is, because -- weirdly! 
      -- drives have the SYSTEM and the HIDDEN attribute set, at least 
      under XP. Fixed.

v5.50.0005 - 01.01.07 12:47
    + List View's Rename edit box:
      - Now Up/Down keys unselect any selection inside the edit box by a 
        single keystroke without moving the caret one position to the 
        left or right. 
        This is useful for example when the selection is set to the base 
        excluding the extension (to do this, check Configuration | 
        Advanced | Exclude extension on rename).
        Note that using the Up key will move the caret to the left end 
        of the selection, using the Down key will move it to the right 
        end. Another nice control plus.
      - Now Ctrl+A does select all contents.
    * Menu View: renamed submenu "Tab" to "Current Tab", just to be a 
      tad more explicit.
    * Reorganized parts of the "View" menu: submenus "Views" and "Sort By" 
      are now located below/inside submenu "Current Tab". Consequently 
      they are now available as well in the tab headers' context menu.
    ! Under Win9x, and when an outdated INI-file (older than Sept 2006) 
      was used, the Configuration window would not close on OK. Fixed.
    ! Under Win9x, network shares could not be browsed since network 
      servers are remembered between sessions (v5.00.0036). Fixed.
    ! Under Win9x, sometimes wrong network were displayed. Fixed.

      certain rare circumstances. Fixed.

    + Menu View: added command "Auto-Refresh" for easier access. It is 
      identical to "Auto-refresh on file system &changes" in 
      Configuration|Advanced but I found this label too clumsy for the 
      menu.
    + Toolbar: added a special context menu to the "Refresh" toolbar 
      button, featuring these commands:
        Auto-refresh (= Auto-refresh on file system changes)
        Include network locations
        Suspend refresh during file operations
    ! Opening a drive from the drives listing by mouse or keyboard did 
      not work on all drive display name syntaxes. Fixed.
    ! Menu View|Views|Configure Thumbnails... opened the wrong tab. 
      Fixed.

    * Customize Toolbar: gave a clearer and more standard selection 
      style to the button lists.
    + Toolbar: added special context menus to the toolbar buttons "Move 
      To...", "Copy To...", "Backup To...", and "Go to Last Target", 
      featuring all 4 commands in each of them. So you can have only one 
      (most used) button on the toolbar but quickly access the other 
      commands as well.  
    + Toolbar: added special context menus to the toolbar buttons "Cut", 
      "Copy", and "Paste", featuring all 3 commands plus "Paste 
      Special..." in each of them. Just making your life a bit easier once 
      more.
    + Toolbar: added a special context menu to the "Hotlist" toolbar 
      button, featuring these commands:
        Hotlist...      Ctrl+H
        Breadcrumb...   Ctrl+Backspace
        History...
        -
        Drives...
        -
        Customize Toolbar...
    ! Auto-Refresh lost one turn after an illegal file operation. For 
      example, after a Cut & Paste into the same location (illegal), the 
      next legal file operation was not auto-refreshed. Fixed.    
    ! The focus line in certain lists and the catalog was not rendered 
      correctly in all color schemes. It was actually invisible in the 
      color scheme for visually impaired. Fixed.

    ! Catalog: when selecting an item pointing to a file that's existing 
      but currently not visible due to an active Visual Filter, any 
      current List selection was not reset. Fixed.

  +++ Outlook drop: now it works with Outlook 2003 (ff.) as well! This 
      is great news, and it was a L-O-T of work. Another XY-only
      highlight and quite interesting stuff especially for companies I 
      would think...
    ! Outlook drop: multi-attachment-drop did not get the filenames 
      right. Fixed.
    * Outlook drop: if for some reason the <to>, <from>, and <date> 
      fields cannot be retrieved, the name template auto-defaults to 
      "<subject>". Well, since the big bug fix above, this should not 
      happen very often ;)
    ! Under the Find files panel, ALT+I shared both the Invert option 
      and the Find Now button. Fixed.

v5.40.0046 - 13.12.06 09:25
    + Media Preview: added *.flv (Flash Video) format. Which means: now, 
      XYplorer can offline-replay YouTube videos!
      Here is how: While playing a YouTube video, visit your "Temporary 
      Internet Files" cache folder and search for files called 
      "get_video[1]". The newest of them should be the video just playing. 
      Copy it to some other place and rename it to "YourTitle.flv" (or 
      "Copy As..." it in one go). Voila, XYplorer can play them in the 
      Preview tab. If it does not work, you might want to install the "K-
      Lite Mega Codec Pack".
    + Catalog context menu: now the Copy command is disabled when an 
      item is not copyable (e.g. URLs, or name searches).
    * Catalog now is #4 in the tab stop queue after Tree, List, Address 
      Bar.
v5.40.0044 - 10.12.06 08:09
    ! Creating internet shortcuts (*.url) by drag-dropping links did not

    + Now you can (again! - the feature had been suspended temporarily 
      in v5.20.0022) create internet shortcuts (*.url) by drag-dropping 
      links (from IE and the like) onto tree, list, tab headers, or 
      catalog. Improving the earlier version of the feature, now the 
      default filename is set correctly to the title of the link as stated 
      in the source document (e.g. an HTML webpage).
    ! Cutting to clipboard was not correctly recognized (but instead 
      treated as Copying) in Win9x. Fixed.
