v25.00.0212 - 2023-10-26 14:14
    + Content-Based Folder Icons: Added a tweak to exclude certain locations from CBFI 
      (Content-Based Folder Icons). You can specify one or more (separated by ;) wildcard 
      patterns to be matched against the location in question, for example:
        CBFIBlackList=T:\Test ManyFiles\*;*Millions*
      Notes:
      - The patterns will be automatically lowercased on the next save, don't worry 
        about it, it's for speed:
          CBFIBlackList=t:\test manyfiles\*;*millions*
      - If you are crazy enough to use the ; character in your pathnames, you can use | as 
        an alternative separator:
          CBFIBlackList=T:\Test;Many;Files\*|*Millions*
      - Why would you want to use this tweak? Because with huge folders (> 100,000 items), 
        checking the contents becomes annoyingly slow.
    > Huge Folders: Color Filters like these will make listing huge folders frustratingly 
      slow (see background below at v25.00.0207 - 2023-10-24 22:34):
        B:prop:#empty:2|fl        //empty folders
        L:prop:#nosubs:2          //folders without subs
      But there is a solution. You can use the geeky filternot switch to exclude 
      particular branches with huge folders, for example:
        B:prop:#empty:2|fl //||filternot:T:\Test ManyFiles\*
        L:prop:#nosubs:2 //||filternot:T:\Test ManyFiles\*
    * Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Show Tab List button: Previously, the tabs 
      automatically moved horizontally to display the current tab only when the Tab List 
      button was shown. Now this happens regardless of this setting.
    * Copy Millions of Files: Now it's also implemented for background operations (XYcopy).
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0225.

To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    % Custom Copy: Further speed improvements when copying huge folders.
    % Custom Copy | Progress Dialog: Better information about what's going on in the 
      initial stages of a job.
    ! Custom Copy: Overflow (error 6) possible when copying millions of files. Fixed.

v25.00.0210 - 2023-10-25 16:13
  %%% Custom Copy: Can now handle a larger number of files without running out of memory. 
      I stopped testing at 4 million, but expect the limit to be much higher now. This 
      breakthrough was achieved by a major rewrite: larger jobs now use a temporary file 
      (in <xydata>\Temp) to free up RAM.
      Currently only implemented for foreground operations.
    > Note that the successful tests were performed by copying 40 folders with 100,000 
      files each, and by copying a folder with 40 subfolders with 100,000 files each. 
      However, if you copy a single folder with 4 million files and no subfolders, you 
      will still run into memory problems.
    % Custom Copy: Further speed improvements.
    * Hover Box: If the current box is a folder contents preview, it will now close 
      before the contents of the next box are retrieved. Previously, out-of-date content 
      could easily be mistaken for fresh content, especially if a large folder took a long 
      time to retrieve.

    + Custom Event Actions | Right-click on tab: Now you can invert Small/Large menu also 
      with the rocker-click (left button down, right button click).
    ! Tree: Ctrl+End would go to the bottom of the tree without triggering a list update. 
      Fixed.
    % Heavy Duty Performance: During several tests with huge folders (> 100,000 items), 
      several bottlenecks were identified and eliminated, i.e. replaced by more efficient 
      algorithms.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0224.
    > Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Set archive attribute on folder 
      rename: FYI, this makes renaming huge folders (> 100,000 items) quite slow because 
      attributes have to be retrieved from each file and then possibly set for each file. 
      I wonder if there should be a limit where this feature is skipped.
    > Content-Based Folder Icons: These make browsing a list of many huge folders (> 
      100,000 items) frustratingly slow because there will be a point (depending on your 
      hardware) where the Windows file I/O cache cannot hold that much data, so we drop 
      down to hardware I/O speed. And unfortunately Windows provides no way to determine 
      whether a folder is empty short of retrieving ALL of its contents. That's where the 
      time is wasted.
      So, if you frequently list such large folders, do not use CFI with the /e or /f 
      switch, e.g.:
        *\ /e><xypath>\XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
      There is no way to automate this decision because determining whether a folder is 
      huge takes just as much time as determining whether a folder is filled or empty.

    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | Hidden files and 
      folders: If disabled, moving down inside a hidden folder by double-clicking on a 
      folder in the file list confused the history in such a way that a simple "Back" did 
      not go back, but up to the first non-hidden location. Fixed.

        Run Script: Run a custom script.

    + Custom Event Actions: Added a new event "Right-click on tab" to the "Clicking on 
      Tabs" section. The event here is the right-click on the tab caption, not on the tab 
      icon.
      You can choose from three actions:
        Default:    Pop the default right-click menu for tab headers.
        None:       Do nothing.
        Run Script: Run a custom script.
    * Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions: Now a fast click (time between 
      mouse-down and mouse-up) in the Action column will close any showing popup menu 
      without immediately opening a new one.

    + SC tab enhanced: Added operation to close all tabs to the right.
      Syntax: tab([operation], [data], [index], [ID])
        operation:
          "closeothersright" = close all tabs to the right of a reference tab
            data:
                 0 = [default] no prompts
                 1 = prompt if there are default, locked, or home zone tabs
            index: index of the reference tab; defaults to the current tab
            return: index of the reference tab
      Examples:
        tab("closeothersright");        //close all tabs to the right of the current tab (no prompts)
        tab("closeothersright", , 3);   //close all tabs to the right of the 3rd tab (no prompts)
    * Updated the help file.
    ! View | Tab | Close All Tabs Right: Did not work correctly when the selected tab was 
      closed (when it was to the right of the right-clicked tab). Fixed. The rightmost tab 
      is now automatically selected in this case.

    % Pop-up menus: Added a mechanism to prevent unwanted mouse-up triggers in a pop-up 
      menu opened by mouse-down. This is an issue when a menu is opened directly under the 
      mouse pointer due to space constraints.
      How it is done: If the mouse moved only 2 pixels or less in any direction between 
      mouse-down and mouse-up, the mouse-up is not counted as an active trigger.

      Note that what actually works may also be limited by your specific soft and hard
