v8.10.0020 - 2009-08-07 22:37
    + Added preview of *.m4r files (iPhone ringtone). As always: XY can 
      play it if WMP can play it. You just need the codec.
    ! List: Double-clicking a folder in thumbnails view would open it in 
      WE (default app for folders) instead of XY under certain conditions. 
      Fixed.
    ! List: Delayed Type-Ahead Find (type while list still loading) was 
      still buggy. Fixed.
    ! Mini Tree: When a drive was auto-added to the Tree due to Auto-
      Refresh the Tree was not immediately updated which could lead to a 
      crash at a later point. Fixed.
    * Mini Tree: It is possible that the inactive pane points to a 
      folder that is not part of the MT since the user removed it from 
      the MT. In this case this folder will not automatically be shown 
      in the MiniTree anymore in case of an Auto-Refresh event since 
      the user explicitly opted that she does not want to have this 
      folder in the MiniTree.    
    * List: Under certain conditions you cannot access the folder 
      C:\System Volume Information\ (or on any other drive). Reason: 
      "Access Denied". The "blocked list message" now says so.
    ! Thumbnails: Display glitch when scrolling fast while fresh thumbs 
      are being created. Fixed.
    ! List: List Styles "Show Grid" and "Highlight Selected Rows" were 
      applied to both panes when set via Configuration dialog. Fixed: 
      Only the active pane is affected.

v8.10.0021 - 2009-08-10 14:20
    * Configuration: Renamed "Auto-refresh on file system changes" to 
      "Auto-refresh". Reason: make clearer that the setting is identical 
      to menu View | Auto-refresh.
    * Menu Scripts: Renamed "&Step Through Scripts" to "&Step Mode" to 
      make clear that it's a toggle and not an action.
    ! Thumbnails: Display glitch when scrolling fast while fresh thumbs 
      are being created. Fix #2.
    % Thumbnails display smoother and faster again. Unnecessary drawing 
      while the list is still loading now is skipped.
    ! Renaming a folder via the tree didn't update the title bar. Fixed.
    ! Raw View | Hex mode: Would not display Unicode files correctly on 
      Unicode/MBCS systems like Chinese, Japanese. Fixed.

    + Toolbar: Added button "Sticky Selection". Handy for quick toggling 
      and for showing the current state of affairs.
v8.10.0022 - 2009-08-11 13:02
    + Toolbar: Added button "Exit without Saving". 
    ! Tags & Comments: Renaming items by only changing the case of 
      letters lead to a loss of Tags & Comments data because the 
      database was not updated correctly. Fixed.
    ! Raw View | Hex mode: Would not display Unicode files correctly on 
      Unicode/MBCS systems like Chinese, Japanese. Fix #2.
    ! Tree: Folders deleted in the List were not auto-removed from the 
      Tree when within Special Folders (Desktop, Documents...). Fixed.
    ! List: A newly created foreground tab was not correctly refreshed 
      when the source tab was visually filtered. Fixed.

v8.20.0006 - 2009-08-13 21:28
    + Find Files | Quick Name Search: Added a new pattern switch, /f, to 
      return only files (not folders) in the search results.
      Pattern switches can optionally be appended to the search pattern 
      in the name field and have the general format "blank-slash-
      letter(s)", e.g. " /r" or " /rf" (the order of letters is 
      irrelevant).
      Currently there are two such switches implemented:
        r  recurse subfolders
        f  find only files, not folders
      Examples:
        ?* /f     = Find all files in the current folder
                    (do not recurse subfolders)
        ?* /rf    = Find all files in the current branch
                    (recursing subfolders)
        ?* /r     = Find all items in the current branch
                    (recursing subfolders)
    + XYplorer Variables: Coming from a holiday trip with lots of 
      digital photos I decided to add some comfort for photographers,
      and added a variable that resolves to the EXIF (Exchangeable Image 
      File Format) date of the focused image file (JPEG or TIFF): 
      <dateexif>.
      Usage is just as with other XY variables. Some simple examples:
        ::echo "<dateexif>"; //uses general system date/time format
        ::echo "<dateexif yyyy>"; //just the year
        ::echo "<dateexif yyyymmdd_hhnnss>"; //fully configurable format
      It starts getting interesting when you use the variable for 
      renaming or timestamping files. e.g.:
        //set modified date to EXIF date:
        ::timestamp m, "<dateexif>";
        //prefix EXIF date to filename:
        ::rename b, "<dateexif yyyymmdd_hhnnss>-*", p;
      Remarks:
      - The procedure will first look for the field DateTimeOriginal 
        which is defined as "Date and time the picture was taken with the 
        camera".
      - If this field does not exist the procedure will then look for 
        the field DateTime ("Date and time the image file was stored on 
        camera chip").
      - If this field does not exist the variable returns nothing.
    * SC timestamp: Now there's a subtle but important difference in 
      handling the optional [date] argument.
        ::timestamp m; //set modified date of current item to Now
        ::timestamp m, ""; //do not set modified date at all
      Reason: This way the line
        ::timestamp m, "<dateexif>";
      will not touch the date when no EXIF date could be retrieved.
    + CKS | Miscellaneous | Timestamp: Added command "Set Modified Date 
      to EXIF Date". Sets the Modified date of each selected image file 
      (JPEG, TIFF) to its EXIF date.
      This allows you to update the timestamps of hundreds of photos in 
      a split second. The EXIF date is retrieved as described above. If 
      no EXIF date is found the Modified date is not touched.
    * Tabs: The cycle functions marked with * now update the tab MRU 
      once all keys are released and the newly selected tab is filled with 
      content.
        Miscellaneous / Tab Functions /
          Cycle Tabs Backward:  Ctrl+Shift+Tab; MouseWheel Up
          Cycle Tabs Forward:   Ctrl+Tab;       MouseWheel Down
         *Cycle Tabs Backward, Delay Browsing:  Ctrl+PageUp
         *Cycle Tabs Forward, Delay Browsing:   Ctrl+PageDown
      This means you can do Ctrl+PageUp to go to the previous tab, then 
      release all keys, and then do Ctrl+PageUp again to go back to the 
      first tab (which has become previous tab).
    ! Raw View | Hex mode: Would not display Unicode files correctly on 
      Unicode/MBCS systems like Chinese, Japanese. Fix #3.
    * Statusbar: The drive size info (when no item is selected) now 
      flexibly adjusts the unit to the actual byte count, so nowadays it 
      will typically display the sizes in GB. Before it was hard-coded 
      to MB.
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   toolbar
      Action: Customizes the toolbar.
      Syntax: toolbar([buttons], [large])
        buttons:  [optional] comma-separated list of button keys
                  empty = keep current toolbar
                  "" = reset toolbar to factory default buttons
        large:    [optional]
                  0 = small
                  1 = large
                  empty = keep current setting
        return:   the current (old) toolbar
      Examples:
        // displays the current toolbar button keys:
        text toolbar();
        // defines a mini toolbar
        toolbar("back,fore,up,refresh,-,exitnosave");
        // resets toolbar to factory default, and makes it small
        toolbar("", 0);
      Remarks:
        With a little simple scripting you can now write your own 
        Toolbar Manager and have as many different custom toolbars as 
        you like, selectable e.g. from a popup menu.

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   formatdate
      Action: Returns a date/time expression in a specific format, 
              optionally shifted by a specific interval.
      Syntax: formatdate([date], [format], [shift_unit], [shift_num])
        date:   [optional] Date expression to be formatted.
                Defaults to now.
        format: [optional] e.g. yyyymmdd_hhnnss;
                also supports named formats Zodiac and ISOWeek
                Defaults to general system date/time format.
        shift_unit: [optional] unit to shift date by
                    y = years
                    m = months
                    w = weeks
                    d = days
                    h = hours
                    n = minutes
                    s = seconds
                    Legal results: between 01.01.0100 and 31.12.9999
                                   else error
        shift_num:  [optional] number of units to shift date by
                    negative to go back in time
                    must be an integer value
      Examples:
        ::text formatdate(); //16.08.2009 08:27:05
        ::text formatdate(, "yyyymmdd_hhnnss"); //20090816_082217
        ::text formatdate("", "yyyymmdd_hhnnss"); //Error: Invalid date
        ::text formatdate("16.08.2009", "Zodiac"); //Leo
      Examples for shifted dates:
        // returns 16.08.2009 08:00:03
        ::text formatdate("16.08.2009 08:00:00", , "s", 3);
        // returns 16.08.2009 08:03:00 (+ 3 minutes)
        ::text formatdate("16.08.2009 08:00:00", , "s", 180);
        // returns 16.08.2009 07:59:59
        ::text formatdate("16.08.2009 08:00:00", , "s", -1);
        // returns 16.08.2009 11:30:00 (+ 3.5 hours)
        ::text formatdate("16.08.2009 08:00:00", , "n", 210);
        // returns 16.08.2009 08:00:00 with error "Date shifting failed"
        ::text formatdate("16.08.2009 08:00:00", , "y", 7991);
      Usage:
        A practical example would be to shift the timestamp of your 
        photos after coming back from a holiday in a different zime 
        zone:
          //set modified date of current file to its EXIF + 6 hours
          ::timestamp m, formatdate("<dateexif>", ,"h", 6);
    ! Raw View | Hex mode: Would not display Unicode files correctly on 
      Unicode/MBCS systems like Chinese, Japanese. Fix #4.

  +++ Configuration: Added section "Modules". Here you can deactivate 
      modules that you don't need. It will make the application even 
      lighter and faster, and it will take out unnecessary GUI elements. 
      These settings take effect only after the next restart.
      Currently implemented are modules Scripting and User-Defined 
      Commands. Others will follow soon.
    + Added tweak to layout the top bars as it was possible before Dual 
      Pane was introduced. Note that this layout is only applied in 
      Single Pane Mode. However, you can toggle panes while using the SP 
      layout, so can enjoy advantages of both worlds.
        [General]
        LayoutSP=0
      Possible values:
        0 = Same as Dual Pane (= tweak is OFF)
        1 = [Address Bar] [Toolbar & Tabs]
        2 = [Address Bar] [Tabs & Toolbar]
        3 = [Toolbar & Address Bar] [Tabs]
        4 = [Address Bar & Toolbar] [Tabs]
    ! Raw View | Hex mode: Would not display Unicode files correctly on 
      Unicode/MBCS systems like Chinese, Japanese. Fix #5.
    ! List: Autosize Columns was not always applied to all columns after 
      a rename. Fixed.

      be disabled, the text is improved, and no restart is needed.
    + Configuration | Features: Added option "Emulate the XYplorer Home 
      Edition". Here you can try out -- particularly interesting for 
      users in Trial Mode, of course -- how the app is like when you buy 
      the upcoming Home Edition.
    ! Layout: Address Bar height did not adjust correctly when on one 
      row with a hidden Toolbar in large icon size. Fixed.

      fallback to factory defaults.
    ! Drag'n'drop of files from another app into XY did not default to a 
      Move operation when source and target are on the same drive. Fixed.

    + Toolbar: Added button "Quick File View".
    + All lists (e.g. in Customize Toolbar Dialog) now support a simple 
      Type-Ahead Find where you jump to the next item beginning with the 
      letter you typed.
      Supported characters are keys A-Z and numbers 0-9.
    * Customize Toolbar Dialog: Now large icons are displayed in Large 
      Icons mode.
    ! Quick File View: The hex view for binary files was embarrassingly 
      buggy because it showed non-existing line breaks (CRLF) within the 
      data. Fixed.
    ! Using the Common File Dialog (e.g. for choosing a name for a 
      backup log file, or for loading a new configuration file) resulted 
      in a permanent lock of the browsed directory. Fixed.

    + Dual Pane: Now you can copy or move tabs from one pane to the 
      other by dragging them to their new position. All properties of 
      the tab are taken along, including current selections and scroll 
      position. The newly created tab is auto-selected but the target 
      pane remains inactive to streamline consecutive tab drops from one 
      pane to the other.
      The default action is move (the source tab is removed from its 
      pane), but you can force a copy by holding CTRL. If there's only 
      one tab left on a pane it will not be removed, of course.
    + SC getinfo got a new named argument "list_copyto".
      Syntax: getinfo("list_copyto", [separator = CRLF])
        [separator]:  String to place between items.
                      Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        return:       List of current MRU items used in Copy To / Move 
                      To / Backup To.
      Example:
        ::text getinfo("list_copyto");
    + SC getinfo got a new named argument "list_hilitefolder".
      Syntax: getinfo("list_hilitefolder", [separator = CRLF])
        [separator]:  String to place between items.
                      Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        return:       List of highlighted tree folders with their colors 
                      in RRGGBB. Format is identical to that used in the 
                      INI file.
      Example:
        ::text getinfo("list_hilitefolder");
    + Toolbar | Quick File View: The context menu of this and the other 
      Preview buttons now features a toggle "Full Screen Images Only" to 
      allow/disallow any Shell made preview in Full Screen Preview (F11).
      If checked then only images are shown full screen, all other files 
      are shown in Quick File View -- which happens to be the behavior 
      before Shell made full screen preview was introduced in v8.00.0003 
      - 2009-06- 22 15:42.
    ! Quick File View | Hex mode: Would not display Unicode files 
      correctly on Unicode/MBCS systems like Chinese, Japanese. Fixed.
    ! Open Command Prompt Here: On a locked tree it not open the current 
      list location but the focused tree node's location, which was the 
      less expected one to open when both differed. Fixed.

    ! Rewrote a whole range of heavy rotation core functions to cope 
      with certain Unicode issues under DBCS systems (Chinese, Japanese 
      ...). Nice side effect: The functions got a lot faster, and since 
      they are used extremely often, the app as a whole got a bit more 
      speedy once more.

    % Dual Pane: Now when you copy or move a search results tab to the 
      other pane, no new search is triggered but the existing data are 
      directly injected into the target list.
      Especially with searches over large areas and few results this 
      will hugely improve performance.
    * Info Panel | Preview | ID3v1.1 tag editing: Apply/Cancel buttons 
      now appear immediately when you click into a field.
    ! Dual Pane: When opening a tree location in the inactive pane 
      (Alt+Click), a locked tab would be overwritten. Fixed. Now a new 
      foreground tab is auto-created in the inactive pane to hold the 
      location.
