LATE NOTE: I made a mistake in the "Example" on key.php. For Date:, enter just the date part (e.g. 2006-04-14_11-09-48), not "2006-04-14_11-09-48_PayPal"!

v5.50.0021 - 23.01.07 12:34
    * New License Key: I had to redesign the web interface.
      Try again, please!
      - First, have your current registration details handy, then go to
          http://www.xyplorer.com/key.php
        and get your new license key.
      - Then update your registration details.
        If you are a registered user you now find "Update Registration 
        Details..." under the Help menu.
    ! Listing drives via MyComputer could take long for currently 
      unavailable mapped drives. Fixed: mapped drives are not accessed for 
      detailed information anymore.
    * Nethood: now showing all possible types of servers (before the 
      list was filtered to show only the common types). Select Nethood and 
      press F4 to reread the servers. Just want to know: does anybody now 
      see *more* than before?
    * Tree's plus/minus icons:
      - Made the shading a touch lighter.
      - The minus icon now with 3D pressed-down look.
    ! When setting a new thumb size via Views toolbar icon, the 
      checkmark always stayed on size # 1. Fixed.
    * Configuration|Thumbnails: changed a caption:
      Old: Show &size of original image on thumbnail
      New: Show &dimensions of original image on thumbnail

LATE NOTE: I made a mistake in the "Example" on key.php. For Date:, enter just the date part (e.g. 2006-04-14_11-09-48), not "2006-04-14_11-09-48_PayPal"!

This is fixed now. You now can enter the "Date:" field as given in the example or just the date part without the _PayPal or _ShareIt or whatever it is. It does not matter.

NOTE: Everybody who has used key.php before 2007-01-24_00-47-00 should do it once more to receive a correct xydentity number! The last one was buggy.
Sorry about that!

    ! List: Ctrl+Space would not unselect a selected item anymore. Fixed.
    + Open Command Prompt Here: now the title of the Command Prompt 
      window is set to the path, suffixed by " -- Original location of 
      this command prompt" to avoid confusion if the prompt's current path 
      changes. Big thanks to jacky for the code and the suffix idea!
      Working copy-and-paste-ready code is always welcome! :)
    * Catalog: now with shady plus/minus icons.

    + Configuration|Colors: added option "Flat plus-minus icons" which 
      allows you to change the style of the collapse/expand icons in Tree 
      and Catalog. The "flat style" is very similar to the old style 
      before I introduced the non-flat 3D-style, with one improvement: 
      they are black on non-transparent white, not current forecolor on 
      shining through backcolor. Makes them stand out on colored branches.

    + Tree item context menu: menu items "Fully Expand" and "Fully 
      Collapse" now are available for UNC folders, too.
      Tip: press ESC to stop a potentially longish expansion process.
    + Tree: hold Shift key when clicking plus/minus icons to "Fully 
      Expand" and "Fully Collapse".
    + Catalog item context menu: added command "Paste Here to New 
      Subfolder..." (Ctrl+Shift+V).
    ! "Flat plus-minus icons" option worked reversed. Reversed.

v5.60.0002 - 30.01.07 12:00
  %%% Browsing Huge Networks: Start up time suffered dramatically when 
      the number of servers went beyond 10,000. This problem is history: 
      loading 10,000+ servers at start up is now blazingly fast! Made 
      possible by the following changes:
      - Servers are not stored in the INI anymore (which lead to the 
        delay, especially with agressive virus scanners patrolling in the 
        background), but in a separate file called servers.dat, located 
        in XYplorer's app dir.
      - Now can choose whether you actually want the servers to be 
        stored between sessions (the only reason of which is speed). I 
        added an option in Configuration|Advanced: Cache network servers 
        between sessions.
      - As a reminder: The cached list is editable in List Managament | 
        Servers in My Network Places. Allows you to (a) show only those 
        servers you actually need, and (b) manually add servers from 
        other than the primary/default domain/workgroup.
      - Note that to refresh/reread the servers you simply select My 
        Network Places in the tree and press F4.

  +++ Catalog: Now you can drag'n'drop files onto catalog items that 
      point to executables (*.exe) to open those files with those 
      executables. Nothing less than Open With via drag'n'drop. Can come 
      in extremely handy.
      The cursor will take a special shape when hovering a load over an 
      executable.
      Note: What happens when you drop more than one item at once 
      depends on the executable. Some will open various instances, 
      others will load multiple files within one instance, others will 
      only load the first or the last dropped file.
    + List: Visual Filters now work also in the drives listing 
      (MyComputer) and servers listing (My Network Places).
    ! Catalog: Backspace key in rename box did trigger Go Up. Fixed.

    ! Drop on EXE in Catalog (DEC): did not work with Catalog items 
      prefixed with file:///. Fixed.
    + Find Files: added option Auto-Sync. Turn it ON to always (and now)
      automatically set the location field to the current location. This 
      was the hard-coded behavior all the years before. So the news is: 
      now you can turn it OFF!

    + Toolbar: added button to toggle Last Size/Minimize Info Panel.
    * Toolbar: when you remove all buttons the toolbar now will fall 
      back to the default state that is used on a fresh installation:
        back,fore,up,hotlist,drives,-,cut,copy,paste,del,-,conf
      Before it showed all available buttons in that case, which is 
      somewhat counter-intuitive...
    * Now, when trying to go to a currently inaccessible drive or 
      server, you are told so, and won't go nowhere. Before you were 
      silently deported to Desktop.
    ! Exiting the app while a backup process was still going on lead to 
      interesting effects reminding to a Zombie after-life. Fixed. RIP.

    + List Management: added icons and a Browse button to all lists 
      where applicable. A missing icon means either a location does not 
      exists, or the item is no location (but e.g. a search term).
      The Browse button updates the currently selected list item.
    + Menu Tools: added command "Browse for &Network Server..." that 
      allows you to browse the network and select an accessible computer 
      via the Shell interface.
    + Toolbar: new button "Browse for &Network Server..." (see above).
    + Tree: now the Nethood (aka My Network Places) node has a right-
      click context menu featuring the command "Browse for &Network 
      Server..." (see above).

    + List Management | Fav Files | Browse: now you can select files.
    ! Using the new Browse button in the lists of List Management 
      crashed XY if the lists were empty. Fixed.
    + Toolbar: added context menu to the "Show Hidden Items" button, 
      containing all major show/hide toggles from Configuration|General.
    + Menu View: reorganized the Refresh section (moved Auto Refresh 
      up), and added a Show Items submenu containing all major show/hide 
      toggles from Configuration|General.
    ! Menu Edit | Show All Items In Branch (Ctrl+F3): always took the 
      location shown in the Find Files Locatino field which, of course, 
      was the wrong one when Auto Sync was OFF. Fixed.
    * Note that a Name Search (e.g. via Address Bar using "?" operator) 
      *does* update the Location field *if* Auto Sync is OFF! This is 
      also true for "Show All Items In Branch (Ctrl+F3)" because it is 
      nothing but a recursive Name Search on the current location.
    ! Doing a search on a not-yet-expanded tree folder yielding no 
      folders in the search results lead to removal of the plus icon in 
      front of the tree folder. Fixed.
    ! Vista issue with drag-n-drop context menu... tried something else.

  +++ Now Drop-on-Zip is supported in List and Catalog! This is a great 
      enhancement because the feature has been a massive miss for years.
      Note that, for the time being ZIP-archives are simply assumed to be 
      able to act as drop targets, without any checking to avoid speed 
      suffering.
    + Menu File: added command Properties (Alt+Enter). Show the Shell 
      Properties dialog for the focused item.
      Note: when you press Alt+Enter you will hear a beep sound. There 
      seems to be no way to suppress this. You can, however, avoid the beep, 
      when you press AltGr+Enter or Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
    ! Tree/List items context menu: over the years some users have 
      experienced incompatibilities between XYplorer and certain custom 
      shell extensions. Sloppily programmed shell extensions would knock 
      out XYplorer on right-clicking a file. This problem is fixed now!
    ! Shell drag-n-drop context menu was missing the Create Shortcut(s) 
      Here command. Fixed.
    * Find Files | Reset Filters: from now on this command will *not* 
      reset the Location settings (Include Subfolders etc.) but leave them 
      untouched.

v5.60.0011 - 14.02.07 11:56
    + Drop-On-File now supports other archive formats and EXEs as drop 
      targets:
        *.exe *.zip *.gz *.gzip *.tar *.cab *.arj *.rar *.7z
      Note that the actual Shell integration (droppability) of these 
      formats depends on the configuration of the respective software. 
      Usually you can enable Shell integration somewhere in the 
      software's settings.
    + Drop-On-File: now you can move items into an archive via drag-n-
      drop by holding Shift when dropping. The moved items are deleted 
      (recycle bin) after the packing is done.
    ! Find Files: (Un)checking Auto-sync should not activate the filter Name, as 
      it's not part of it but an option for Location, which is independent 
      of filters. Fixed.
    ! Find Files: The percentage of fuzziness used wasn't set when 
      loading a search template. Fixed.
    * Catalog: before, you could drag catalog items to a new position 
      using the left and also the *right* mouse button, which lead to mild 
      conflicts with the context menu which is also triggered by releasing 
      the right button. From now on, this works only with the left button.
