    * 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.

    ! Unflickering the file list in repeated auto-refresh situations, 
      part 2.
    ! When opening a new background tab, the Home icon of the current 
      tab became disabled. Fixed.
    + Catalog, drag-shifting: now you can copy (duplicate) the dragged 
      items by holding Ctrl while dragging them. When you duplicate a
      category the new copy comes without child items.
    + Catalog: to delete items or categories without "Are you sure"-
      prompt, press Shift+Del.

  !!! Catalog: crashed when creating new category in empty catalog. 
      Fixed.
    ! Tree and List: wrong vertical centering of captions. On larger 
      font sizes the captions were printed one or two pixels to far down 
      (resulting in cropped lower parts of letters). Fixed.
    + Catalog: added command "Import Favorite Folders as New Category 
      Here". No more auto-filling at start-up.
    + Catalog: "Add Current List Item Here" now recognizes special paths 
      correctly (e.g. "Desktop\XY-wiki.txt" instead of "C:\Dokumente und 
      Einstellungen\Donald\Desktop\XY-wiki.txt").
    + Catalog: items pointing to URLs now receive the correct icon.
    * Catalog: better coloring logic. Now new categories are by default 
      branch-colored as the Tree and react to changes of the tree color 
      scheme (unless you check "Apply colors" in Properties).
    ! File List: reduced flicker in repeated auto-refresh situations. 
      Didn't I?

    + Catalog: added keyboard support for context menus. Press Shift+F10 
      or the context menu key (if you got it on your keyboard) to popup 
      the Catalog's context menu.
    ! Catalog: could not activate the main menu by ALT when focus was on 
      Catalog. Fixed.
    + Catalog: now you can use Ctrl+V to paste any file data from 
      clipboard into current location.
    + Catalog, context menu: added "Add New Item Here...".
    + Now you can enter http:// addresses into the Address Bar: they 
      will be opened using your default browser.
      You can as well define http:// addresses as destinations in the 
      Catalog.
    ! Ever had Tree and Catalog and Info Panel on, High Tree 
      off, and then moved the Info Panel splitter? Fixed.
