v27.20.0401 - 2025-11-17 13:01
+ Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: Added a bit of color coding to make the situation
easier to grasp.
- Size of the copied file is smaller: red
Size of the copied file is larger: blue
- Date of the copied file is older: red
Date of the copied file is newer: blue
So blue lines are usually okay whereas red lines might need your attention.
* XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0282.
% High DPI: Improved the drawing of chevrons in Tree and Catalog at 200% and higher.
% High DPI: Improved the drawing of chevrons and arrows in the Breadcrumb Bars.
! Configuration | Preview | Preview | Image preview | Transparency grid colors: Did
not auto-adjust to dark mode yet. Fixed.

v27.20.0306 - 2025-11-14 14:39
+ Menu Edit | Paste: Now the Paste command is only disabled when the clipboard is
empty.
+ SC backupto: Added [flags] as param #10 (same functionality as copyto and moveto).
Syntax: backupto [location], [source], [on_collision], [preserve_dates], [create_log], _
[pop_stats], [skip_junctions], [verify], [show_progress], [filter], [flags]
flags (bit field):
0 = [Default]
1 = FilesOnly. For sources containing wildcards only files are copied.
2 = SkipPromptToCreate. Don't prompt, but create any non-existing destination
folder without asking.
Example:
// creates a new target folder every hour; does not prompt for creation
backupto "T:\bup\<date yyyymmdd_hh>\", "E:\monkey64.twinproj", -1, 10:=2;

+ File | Rename Special | RegExp Rename...: Now the RegExp mode supports the switch "
/b" to only affect the base (name without extension, where extension includes the
dot). The switch " /b" (note the space) should be appended to the term (but before
any RegExp comment).
The switch can also be applied to SC rename. This script, for example, replaces all
dots by spaces in all selected item names, but spares the dot that belongs to the
extension:
rename r, "\. > /b"; // note the 3 spaces " > " + " " + " /b"

! Opening Overlong Items: The recent fix had side effects. Fixed again.
! Multiple Monitors: Crash when dropping to PowerToys FancyZones across monitors. Fixed.

v27.20.0301 - 2025-11-12 18:00
! Opening Overlong Items: Did not work reliably even with "Configuration | General |
Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Support overlong filenames" enabled. Fixed.
! Deleting Overlong Items: Turns out that the shell cannot deal with a 255-character
path in the drive root although this length should be totally legal according to the
docs. If such a beast somehow ends up in the Recycle Bin, which is possible in
Win8.1 but not in Win11, then the attempt to restore it will crash XYplorer and File
Explorer without mercy or questions. Actually it seems that the max length the shell
can handle for root paths is only X:\+245 characters.
Fixed. Now XYplorer will prompt you to permanently delete such an item. It won't end
up in the recycler.

v27.20.0207 - 2025-11-11 17:26
! Tree and List: Attempting to rename an item to a name longer than 255 characters
(without the path) could cause a complete crash. Fixed. Now you will receive the
message "Path components cannot be longer than 255 characters."

* Drop Context Menu | Create Branche(s) Here: Now this command is only visible if the
dragged items are all folders.
! Toolbar: Custom overall spacing (Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles |
Overall spacing) could break toolbar button dimensions with high DPI display. Fixed.
! Overlong Items: Since 20250112 you could not delete overlong items in Win 11. Fixed.

v27.20.0202 - 2025-11-09 14:36
+ Menu Edit | Paste: More non-file formats are supported, i.e. the Paste command is
not greyed out so easily by clipboard stuff that only the shell can handle.
! Drag and Drop: Crash possible when dragging overlong items (> 259 characters in the
path). Fixed by disallowing dragging overlong items.
