v25.10.0109 - 2023-11-10 21:31
    + Catalog: The recent update to tweak CatalogFlags now also handles files:
        64: Automatically update item paths when files or folders are renamed or moved.
            NOTE: This is only done for *single* items being renamed or moved, not for 
            bundles of items.
      Keeps your Catalog in sync with reality.

v25.10.0110 - 2023-11-11 15:02
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles: Added dropdown "General spacing". Here 
      you can modify the general spacing (or airiness, or density) of the main window. The 
      value stands for pixels that are inserted in different places.
      The new factory default is 2, which is 2 more than in any previous version of the 
      application. File Explorer seems to be getting more airy with each release. To keep 
      up with the times (and customer expectations), XYplorer now also starts with a 
      little more air by default.
      Notes:
      - A change here requires a restart of the application to take effect.
      - In addition to a more relaxed airiness, a higher setting also gives you larger 
        mouse targets.
      - This beta may knock some of your toolbar buttons off the toolbar. :)
    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Serial rename by Up and Down 
      keys: Renamed to "Serial rename with Up and Down keys".
    ! List: Serial rename with (Shift+)TAB did not preselect the item correctly since 
      20231101. Fixed.

v25.10.0111 - 2023-11-11 19:16
    + Favorites | Favorite Folders: Experimental support for dual locations. Both folders 
      are separated by ||. The first folder will be opened in the active pane, the second 
      in the inactive pane. For example:
        \\VEGA\Users\Donald||D:\
      Notes:
      - Dual Pane mode is auto-enabled if necessary.
      - There is currently no GUI way to add dual locations to the favorites list, so you 
        have to manually edit the favorites list in List Management | Favorite Folders...
      - Dual favorites are not marked in the tree. 
      - The icon in menus and lists is taken from the first locations.
      - File operations that target dual favorite folders only go to the first location.
      - Currently the second location does not support any fancy stuff like wildcards, 
        variables, filters. It should just be a plain path to a folder.
    + Address Bar: Experimental support for dual locations (see above).
    + Well, actually all going to a location now supports dual locations, also for example 
      scripting:
        goto "\\VEGA\Users\Donald||D:\";
      Quite nice.

v25.10.0113 - 2023-11-12 11:34
    + Dual Locations: Now you can use fancy stuff like filters and searches in both 
      locations:
        D:\Test|a*||E:\Test|b*        //visual filters for both panes
        D:\Test?cat||E:\Test?dog      //quick searches in both panes
        |cat|||dog                    //filter active pane by cat, inactive pane by dog
        ?*.txt||?*.jpg                //search active pane for *.txt, inactive pane for *.jpg
      Of course, you can do different things on each side of ||. Filter here, search there, etc.
    * SC goto: It used to throw an error if the location was not available. Not anymore. 
      Not really useful and too annoying.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Did not happen on startup if the inactive pane pointed to an 
      unavailable location. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters and 
      Live Filter Box | Use space character for Boolean AND: When enabled, patterns with 
      flanking spaces could not be used as expected. Fixed. In a pattern with flanking 
      spaces such as ab_ or _ab or _ab_ (underscore here stands for space), no spaces are 
      now replaced by AND.

    + Dual Locations: Now even dual scripts work. Note that internally the inactive pane 
      becomes active will being processed, so <curpath> works here:
        echo "active: <curpath>";||echo "inactive: <curpath>";
    * Dual Locations: The inactive is now shown (if it wasn't visible anyway) *before* the 
      action is performed.

    + Toolbar | Favorite Folders: Added command "Toggle Dual Favorite Folder" to the 
      button's right-click menu. Adds/Removes the combined locations of both panes 
      (format: active pane||inactive pane) to/from the favorites list.
      So the new Dual Locations feature has made its way into the GUI in the form of Dual 
      Favorite Folders.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | General spacing: Renamed to "Overall 
      spacing".
    + Edit | Paste Special | Edit Clipboard...: Now it remembers the setting of the Word 
      Wrap checkbox.
    ! Dual Locations: Fixed some glitches.

    ! A complex definition like the one below was not parsed correctly to show the correct 
      icons and captions in the menu. Fixed.
        "Photos|<xyicons>\camera.ico" goto "D:\Temp\";||"Wallpaper|<xyicons>\help.ico" goto "E:\Temp\";
      The icon and caption of the second location are ignored, so this menu item is called 
      "Photos" and the icon is "<xyicons>\camera.ico".
    ! Dual Locations: Fixed some glitches.

    ! Command Line: Passing special folders "Recycle Bin" and "Network" as paths to a 
      running application was case-sensitive when it should be case-insensitive. Fixed.

    + Dual Locations: Dual locations now have their own default icon in the address bar, 
      lists, and menus. Saves you from visually scanning a long line for "||".
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: Air
      Action: Controls the density of the user interface of the main window. Identical to 
              Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Overall spacing.
      Syntax: air [value=2]
        value:  Number of pixels to insert at various locations.
                Default is 2.
                Valid values range from -4 to 8. Invalid values are silently adjusted.
      Example:
        air 8;

    * Catalog | Item Context Menu: Now the Copy command is always enabled. Depending on 
      the item it copies either a file item, or text.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.174.

    ! Dual Locations: Fixed some glitches.
    ! List | Details with Thumbnails: Clicking on the yellow background of a folder 
      thumbnail would not count as a full hit, i.e. it would not select the item or go 
      into it on double-click. Fixed.

    + Variables: Added variables <thispath> and <otherpath> to return the path of the 
      active and inactive pane in the way it is current displayed, i.e. instead of a real 
      path it can also be a special path.
      Use <thispath> for the active pane, and see how it compares to other variables when 
      the pane points to "Documents\Songs":
        echo <thispath>;    // Documents\Songs
        echo <curpath_s>;   // Documents\Songs
        echo <path a>;      // C:\Users\Donald\Documents\Songs
        echo <curpath>;     // C:\Users\Donald\Documents\Songs
      Use <otherpath> for the inactive pane (only <path i> can also return this path):
        echo <otherpath>;   //eg Documents\Songs
        echo <path i>;      //eg C:\Users\Donald\Documents\Songs
    + Color Filters: Now you can color code the folder of the inactive pane in the tree 
      with this pattern:
        T:dir:<otherpath>
      Note: This Color Filter is only supported in the tree, not in the list.
    * Color Filters: Patterns of type "dir:" were automatically wrapped in asterisks 
      internally (aka partial match), even if full paths were given. This makes no sense and 
      has been stopped. So this filter will only match the one "Monkeys" folder in the tree:
        T:dir:E:\Test\Monkeys

    + SC base64encode and base64decode: UTF8 processing is now optional (though still 
      the default). Reason: There is at least one context, base64-encoded images, where 
      UTF8 conversion generally does not seem to be used.
      Syntax: base64decode(text, [file], [targetfile], [utf8=1])
        utf8: 1: Convert from UTF8 after decoding. Defaults to 1.
      Syntax: base64encode(text, [file], [targetfile], [utf8=1])
        utf8: 1: Convert to UTF8 before encoding. Defaults to 1.
      Example:
        text hexdump(base64decode(<clipboard>, 3:=0)); //base64-decode without intermediate UTF8-decoding
