v5.00.0019 - 09.06.06 13:44
    + Toolbar: added button "Toggle No Filter/Last Filter" 
      (Ctrl+Shift+J).
    + Configuration/General: added option "Exclude extension from rename 
      pre-selection". So this wonderful behavior, which you know from XY 
      and its predecessors since 1998, is now optional.
    + "Slow double-click invokes single-rename" now also in the Tree. Before 
      it worked only in the List.
    ! Catalog: again failed retrieving icons for network (UNC) items 
      under certain cnoditions because the last fix introduced a new bug. 
      Fixed, and hopefully did not add another one ;).
    ! Column width auto-adjustment did not work with "Refresh File List" 
      (just with "Refresh and Reset File List"). Fixed.

v5.00.0018 - 08.06.06 09:06
    + Menu Tools, List Management: added "Rename Special: Search and 
      Replace...".
    ! Catalog: failed retrieving icons for network (UNC) *files*. Fixed.
    * Catalog: now icons are only retrieved when the catalog is 
      visible/shown. Purpose: faster start-up when catalog is hidden, 
      because e.g. non-available network items can be a bit slow here.

v5.00.0017 - 07.06.06 11:53
    ! Toolbar, Back/Forward button: the history popup menus rendered a 
      line break wherever captions included a comma character. Fixed.    
    ! Menu View/Tab/Tab List: popup menu rendered a line break wherever 
      captions included a comma character. Fixed.
    ! Panel/File View: a viewed file was not auto-reloaded after an 
      auto-refresh, so the view might have been out-of-date. Fixed.
    * No error is thrown anymore if INI file or catalog.dat are read-
      only (as for example when running XYplorer from a CD-ROM).
    ! XYplorer terminated on startup after switching between locales with 
      different decimal separators (e.g. from Dutch (,) to English (.)) 
      when the font size was fractional (e.g. "8.25" resp. "8,25"). Fixed 
      by storing a non-fractional "MilliSize" instead of "Size" in the 
      INI file Font section. Note, that your previous font size settings 
      are lost by this upgrade.
    * Panel/File View: now right-clicking/selecting a new file will 
      close any previous File View (and Preview).

Code: Select all

v5.00.0016 - 03.06.06 10:55
    * Menu View: before, "Refresh File List" (F5) did not only update 
      the displayed data, but also reset scroll position, focus position, 
      and any selections. Now, it does only update the displayed data. 
      It's faster than light, so don't be surprised when you don't see 
      anything happening.
    + Menu View: added command "Refresh and Reset File List" (Ctrl+F5). 
      It does exactly what "Refresh File List" (F5) did before the 
      modification described here above: update the data, scroll back to 
      top, set focus to the first item (if any), unselect any selections. 
      In other words: the list will look as if you had just browsed to a 
      new location.
      Just to make sure: with both kinds of Refresh, the resulting list 
      contents and their order are exactly identical, namely up-to-date. 
      The only differences lie in the status of the list control: scroll 
      position, focus position, selections.
    + Menu View: added command "Show Hidden Files and Folders" 
      (Ctrl+Shift+H). Identical to the checkbox on Configuration/General.
    + Toolbar: added button to "Show/Hide Hidden Items"; does the same 
      as Ctrl+Shift+H.
    + Toolbar: added button to "Show/Hide Catalog". What's that icon? It's a 
      golden box. Catalog = treasure box... war of the metaphors... ;)

    + Panel/Find Files: now you can toggle the find filters by holding 
      CTRL while clicking the filters' tab headers.
    ! When you load an XLS file into Excel it automatically changes the 
      modified date to the latest date and time. However, when you close 
      the file in Excel and have not made any changes, it puts the old 
      date and time back. XY ignored the latter. Fixed.

    * Better auto-selection-on-got-focus strategy with text boxes (aka 
      edit fields). Before you could immediately reduce the selection by 
      mousedown + dragging to left or right (!), which is counter-
      intuitive and/because non- standard. Try for example the text 
      boxes in Catalog/Properties to see the new behavior.
    ! You could show the Tree/Catalog-splitter by pressing F8 while Tree 
      was hidden. Fixed.
    ! Catalog-height was altered after hiding/showing Tree in High Tree 
      mode as if it was not High Tree mode. Fixed.
    + The Customize Toolbar lists now know the wheel.
    * Catalog: slightly reorganized the context menu. Each section now 
      applies to a particular level:
      (1) item
      (2) category
      (3) catalog
      (4-6) item and catagory

    + Catalog: added "Refresh Icons" to the context menu. Refreshes all 
      catalog item icons.
    * Catalog: all icons are now refreshed at startup. Before, folder 
      icons have not been updated.
    ! When dragging into XY from outside, some internal temporary data 
      have not always been reset with consequences for the visibility of 
      certain drag-and-drop context menu items. Fixed.

    ! Rich Copy Here/Rich Move Here commands were not shown anymore in 
      the drag-drop-context menu from find results when the search 
      included subfolders. Fixed.
    ! Statusbar could get focus. Fixed.
    * Help file: pretty much up-to-date.

      individually the folders you actually want to exclude.
    + All lists with checkboxes: right-click to pop up a ctx menu.
    + Catalog: dropping on a category heading now flashes a black 
      cross cursor.

    % New start up strategy: the main window is shown only after the 
      initialization is completed. Result: start up is faster and makes 
      a very solid first impression :)
    ! Address Bar and Catalog now support the file:/// protocol.
      I have these files executed by the Shell, so http[s]:// URLs are 
      opened by your default browser whereas file:/// URLs are opened by 
      the associated application. E.g., enter this into the Address Bar: 
        file:///C:\Programs\XYplorer\License.txt
      if C:\Programs\XYplorer is your XY location.
    ! Load tab, not instance: did not clean the tray if prev instance 
      was minimized to try. Fixed.
    ! Drag'n'drop: in certain situations/configurations the file list's 
      current selections were lost after completing a drag'n'drop 
      operation. Fixed.
    + Catalog: New Item is auto-removed if Properties dialog is 
      immediately cancelled.
    + Catalog: now dropping on a category heading will add the dragged 
      item(s) to that category (appended at the bottom). 
      Now, if you are crazy, you can drop 10,000 items into a category.
      I tell you what happens: at some point, XY will break down. You 
      have been warned, punk!
    + Help file: added browse sequence with << and >> buttons.
      Help file always on top is a bug that will be fixed next time.

    + Catalog: if a tab pointing to the clicked location exists already, 
      this tab is selected instead of opening the location in the current 
      tab.
    + Statusbar: single left-click anywhere on the statusbar does 
      show/hide the Info Panel. You'll note a 300 msec delay -- it's 
      necessary to wait for a potential dbl-click (which does copy the 
      clicked label to the clipboard).
    + Catalog: dbl-click on Tree/Catalog splitter now maximizes resp. 
      minimizes the catalog resp. tree.
    + Catalog: added command "Import Favorite File as New Category 
      Here". Now in submenu "Import as New Category Here".
    * With the Catalog a new era has begun. So it's time for another 
      biggie: 5.0! I also changed the tagline
        from  "Advanced File System Explorer"
        to    "Business Class File Manager"
      I think it makes clearer what it is, what it does, and what you 
      get for your money.

    ! Catalog: changing a category tooltip text via the catalog 
      properties window caused the "+" icon to disappear. Fixed.
    + If a new instance of XY is loaded with a startpath command line 
      parameter, this path is opened in a new foreground tab of the 
      previous instance instead of loading the new instance. Of these 
      three possible command line forms...
        XYplorer.exe
        XYplorer.exe mystartpath
        XYplorer.exe /ini="my ini file" mystartpath
      ... only the second will trigger the above behavior. The other 
      will load a 2nd instance.
