v26.00.0202 - 2024-05-27 11:07
    + Address Bar: If the Address Bar shares a row with the Toolbar (Toolbar is shown and 
      "Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked" is unchecked), you can now 
      change its width on-the-fly with Shift+Alt+Wheel. FYI, this internally sets the 
      AddressBarWidth tweak.
    + List | Line Numbers Column Header (#): Ctrl+right-click now opens the Column Layouts 
      menu, which is otherwise only accessible via the Column Layouts toolbar button.
      A simple right-click still opens the Sort By menu.
    ! Tree: Going to a special folder, e.g. Downloads, from Mouse Up Show Down on "This 
      PC" led to the real path instead of the special path. Fixed.
    ! Tree | Rapid Access: Wrong folder selected after hiding a non-current folder from 
      the right-click menu. The selection does not need to be changed at all. Fixed.

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.

    * Breadcrumbs: Now "This PC" is displayed as the first path component if it matches. 
      This is consistent with showing Rapid Access and Network as first path components, 
      the other two super sections.
    ! Breadcrumbs | Rapid Access: The down path was not shown for RAF pointing to network 
      locations. Fixed.      
    ! Custom File Icons: Since 20240121 flanking spaces in the pattern left of ">" were 
      not tolerated anymore. Fixed.

v26.00.0208 - 2024-05-29 19:48
    + Rapid Access Folders: You now can add RAF on-the-fly by prefixing "raf:" to 
      the path you want to add. If it's not already present in RAF it will be added. Then 
      you will be taken to the (new) RAF.
      Examples:
        raf:Documents
        raf:C:\Users\Donald\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer
      Note: This is a quick shot that will probably need to be given more attention later on.
    + Breadcrumbs | Context Menu: Added "Show This PC" toggle.
    + Menu Window | Arrangement: Added "Show Button Captions" toggle. Toggles the display 
      of toolbar button captions.
      Default keyboard shortcut: Shift+F12.
    - Miscellaneous | Layout | Maximize/Minimize Info Panel: Removed default keyboard 
      shortcut Shift+F12.
    - Miscellaneous | Layout | Last Size/Minimize Info Panel: Removed default keyboard 
      shortcut Alt+F12.      
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.185.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.185.lng is uploaded.

v26.00.0301 - 2024-05-31 15:24
    + Find Similar Images: Now you can find images that are visually similar to a 
      reference image. The reference image can be passed as a path (will be converted to 
      an image hash) or directly as an image hash (retrieved e.g. by <prop #image.hash> or 
      from the Image Hash special property column).
      You can define what's similar by setting a tolerance value (0 to 99), prefixed to 
      the path/hash separated with ~.
    
      Here are some Quick Search examples where the tolerance is set to 13:
        prop:#image.hash:13~518ce71800d7
        prop:#image.hash:13~E:\Test\ImageHash\FindSimilar\Reference.jpg
        prop:#image.hash:13~<curitem>

      Skip the tolerance value to compare the image hashes as plain strings (only 
      identical hashes are a match):
        prop:#image.hash:518ce71800d7
        prop:#image.hash:E:\Test\ImageHash\FindSimilar\Reference.jpg
        prop:#image.hash:<curitem>

      Set the tolerance to 0 for full image identity (internally done by comparing the MD5 
      hashes of all pixels in the full size image):
        prop:#image.hash:0~<curitem>
        
      Don't expect miracles. There is no AI involved, and the dHash algorithm has its 
      limitations. You will get false positives and negatives.

v26.00.0302 - 2024-06-01 13:46
    + Quick Search: As you could see in yesterday's examples, you can now include XY 
      variables in the search pattern, e.g:
        prop:#image.hash:<curitem>
      This would not have worked before 26.00.0301 because the moment the variable was 
      resolved the list was empty and the current item was no longer there.
      With this release, the *unresolved* search pattern is now stored in the Quick Search 
      MRU list. This makes more sense than storing the resolved pattern.
    + Tree: You can now control whether a node is automatically scrolled up to show as 
      many of its subfolders as possible when you expand it.
      This behavior is standard in File Explorer so it is enabled in XYplorer by factory 
      default (and has been hard-coded since day one):
        TreeScrollSubfoldersIntoView=1
      But now you can tweak it off by setting TreeScrollSubfoldersIntoView to 0.      
    ! Tabsets: You could no longer switch to a tabset if the name of the tabset was 
      identical to the name of a special folder (including RAF). Fixed.

    + Toolbar: Added "Find Similar Images" button. Click it to find images similar to the 
      image currently focused in the file list (it does not have to be selected).
      The right-click menu offers a caveman-friendly approach to the tolerance variable:
        Similarity High       -> Tolerance 1
        Similarity Medium     -> Tolerance 7
        Similarity Low        -> Tolerance 14
      There is also an interesting command "Find Images Similar to Clipboard Image" which 
      supports image files in the clipboard (items/objects as well as paths/text to 
      items), and also plain images (bitmaps), which is pretty cool. For example, you can 
      copy an image from a website to the clipboard and then search for files that look 
      similar.
      Again, don't expect miracles. The dHash approach is pre-AI and itself not that far 
      from the cave.
      As you see, the button is just a shortcut to "?prop:#image.hash:[tolerance]~[item]".
      The button graphic is a play on "hash" and two equal signs crossing to form an 
      image frame ;)
    * Image Hashing: The thumbnail quality of the shell image factory is too poor compared 
      to GDI functions, making it too unreliable for hashing purposes, so I changed the 
      hashing related functions to the slightly slower GDI. This affects all and only 
      image types compatible with GDI (depending on the codecs installed). FYI, on the XY 
      dev system, this currently affects the following formats:
        .bmp.dib.rle.gif.jpg.jpeg.jpe.jfif.png.arw.cpt.cr2.crw.dcr.dng.erf.fff
        .mrw.mef.nef.nrw.orf.pef.raf.raw.rw2.rwl.sr2.srf.srw.x3f.tif.tiff.thm    
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.186.

    % File | Properties: Faster when invoked for single items in Tree or List.
    - Breadcrumbs | Context Menu: Removed "Show This PC" toggle. Changed my mind about 
      this. No one needs it.
    ! Image Dupes: Images with an aspect ratio >= 2 produce a hash of only 32 bits or 
      less. Due to a bug in the algorithm, dupes of such images could be missed in 
      previous versions under certain other conditions. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Find Files | Dupes | Ignore Numbers: If enabled then any additional 
      Dupe filter would not work properly anymore. Fixed.

    * Image Dupes: Improved the algorithm. Now the hashes always have 16 hex characters 
      (64 bits), and there should be less false positives and negatives on average.
    > Image Dupes: Note that it can make a difference which image you compare the others 
      to. You will get the most matches if your image is somewhere in the middle of the 
      similarity distribution. See "Family resemblance" (Wittgenstein) for more insight.
