      And: the selected item is not automatically shifted to the top of 
      the list anymore.

      during this upgrade.
    + Menu Tools, List Management: added Move/Copy/Backup To.

   %+ Configuration, General: added option "Expand destination node in 
      tree". Up to now the automatic expansion of a browse destination node 
      was hard-coded, in sharp contrast to Explorer and other file managers 
      that do not expand-on-browse. And they don't do it for a good reason: 
      expanding costs time! Now you can save that time in XYplorer, too.
    % Tree browsing after tab change and after some other events faster. 
      Could skip one level of browsing depth.

Code: Select all

v4.50.0053 - 29.03.06 11:24
    + Configuration, Advanced: added option to use generic icons in the 
      file list: "Use generic icons for faster browsing".
      Generic icons are determined by the extension (resp. type) of a file 
      only, and not by its specific contents and hence need no file access 
      to be determined, which makes retrieving them much faster, 
      especially in network locations.
      Note that only the following file types can have specific icons 
      (which typically but not necessarily are embedded icons), so only 
      files of these types will show different icons when you enable the 
      use of generic icons:
        folders and *.exe *.lnk *.ico *.icl *.cur *.ani *.htm(l) *.url
      Since the effects will be most notable in network locations, there is 
      a second option that allows you to confine the use of generic icons 
      to network locations: "But only in network locations".
    - Menu Go: removed "Clear History". You can do this via List Management.

    ! Close XY displaying a removable media drive and a filter set. Open 
      XY with no disk in the drive, and hence the "Currently not 
      available" message. Change to another folder in the tree (C:\ for 
      example) and all the files are displayed even though the tab clearly 
      shows a filter. Fixed.
    + Toolbar: added "Nuke" button. Deletes selected items quick and 
      permanent: no Confirmation, no Recycle Bin! Take care...

v4.50.0051 - 27.03.06 11:06
    ! Tab-wise find settings were not saved to disk anymore after a 
      "Save Configuration As..." operation. Reason: the buffer/flush-INI-
      writing technique introduced in v4.00.0133 has never been fully 
      implemented for those find setting files, and after "Save 
      Configuration As..." the buffer was active but never flushed. 
      Fixed (see next point).
    + Buffer/flush-INI-writing technique (to avoid virus-scanner induced 
      delay when writing INI files) now also implemented for find setting 
      files (\FindTemplates\tab_*.dat).
      This will speed up tab-changes from search results tabs in virus-
      scanner environments.
    * Menu Go: moved the list of history items one level down to new 
      submenu "History". Purpose: easier menu hovering.

v4.50.0050 - 25.03.06 19:50
    + Image Preview: there are some (rare) JPEGs that are not loadable 
      by GDI+ (and hence cannot be shown for example by Windows Explorer's 
      internal preview/thumbnails). These can now be correctly previewed 
      and thumbed by XYplorer.
    ! Menu File: custom INI file was not remembered between sessions 
      when loaded via "Save Configuration As...". Fixed.
    * Common file Open/Save dialogs: better filter management. For 
      example, when handling INI files, now you are presented only the 
      *.ini filter, and not *.txt, *.csv etc. which are useless in this 
      context.

    ! When renaming a folder in file list -- with column width auto-
      adjustment active -- the tree node was updated to a zero length 
      name. Fixed.
    % Another boost to browsing/finding performance, notable if you list 
      many folders.
    % Slight tree browsing speed up for NT/2K/XP.

    % Gave another strong boost to browsing/finding performance by 
      employing a more sophisticated icon retrieval strategy that should 
      be notable especially in remote environments like folders on 
      (mapped) network drives.
    ! Little glitch during edit label rename in the file list: focus 
      shortly jumped to addressbar or tree or whatever was next in the 
      focus queue. Fixed.

    * Improved resize/layout strategy: now maximizing the info panel 
      will always leave 2 lines in detail view visible (or 1 line if 
      horizontal scrollbar is visible), independent of visibility of any 
      top bars.
    ! Find Files: Crash after trying to use and invalid RegExp pattern. 
      Fixed.
    + Toolbar: added "List Management" button, which pops up the List 
      Management submenu.

  +++ Menu Tools: add submenu "List Management" where you can manage 
      lists like History, Favorites, Address Bar, Name, Location, etc. 
      More lists will follow, I'm just starting...
    + Added new keyboard shortcuts to my owner-drawn listboxes (see them 
      in Customize Toolbar, Preview Formats, Color Filter, List 
      Management, etc.):
        Ctrl+Up:    shift selected item up

    ! Toolbar context menu "Customize Toolbar..." did not do what it 
      said but "Open Configuration in Editor...". Fixed.
    * All controls with Auto-complete functionality: the drop-down match 
      list (the list of items that match what you've typed so far) now has 
      a distinctive forecolor so that you can easily distinguish it from 
      the normal drop-down list (the list that contains all stored items 
      in reverse chronologial order).
