v5.60.0012 - 15.02.07 12:45
  +++ Catalog: added item property "Open on Click".
      - If checked, a single click or [Enter] on this Catalog item will 
        open it: An EXE file will be launched; any other file type will be 
        opened with the associated application (minding XY's own file 
        associations).
        As visual feedback you'll see an overlay on the item's icon.
      - If unchecked, a single click or [Enter] will just go to the item.
      Note that "Open on Click" is obviously incompatible with a Name 
      Search or Visual Filter. You cannot have both in one item and 
      expect it to work.
      Note that in previous versions (and still now) you could achieve a 
      similar behavior by manually prefixing "file:///" to the item 
      data. However, apart from being cumbersome, this way does not mind 
      XY's own file associations.
    * Catalog context menu: changed captions "Open..." to "Go to..." to 
      avoid confusion with the new "Open on Click".
    + Catalog: added command "Add Current Tab Location Here" to the 
      context menu. Allows you to add the current tab's location to the 
      Catalog by one click, including any Name Search or Visual Filter 
      specs.
    * Catalog: cooled down the hot scrolling (auto-scrolling when drag-
      hovering the upper or lower margins of a long list) a bit. Before, 
      it was impossible to drop something onto the top or bottom row 
      because scrolling immediately set in. Now, scrolling sets in only 
      when hovering the upper half of the top row resp. lower half of the 
      bottom row.
    + Catalog: items with a Visual Filter now have an icon plus an 
      overlay that tries to look like the toolbar's Visual Filter button.
    + Tabs: also added the new Visual Filter icon overlay to the tab 
      icons. It might be overdone... you tell me, please.
    * Tabs: slightly changed the look of the Default tab icon overlay, 
      as to better distinguish it from the "Open on Click" overlay.
    ! Menu View|Current Tab: "Copy Location Term" did not include any 
      Visual Filters. Fixed.
    + Find Files: Follow Folder Links can easily lead to endless 
      recursion if a folder link points to a parent of its own location. 
      Now, those links are simply not followed anymore.

    + You can already (un)apply a Visual Filter to the current listing 
      by "browsing to" the filter argument alone (without any path given). 
      Now, this works also for search results.
      For example, go to:
        |*.txt    to set a VF "*.txt" to current path (or search results)
        |         to unset any VF to current path (or search results)
      You could add a Catalog item called "Show Texts Only" and point it 
      to "|*.txt". Or one called "Remove any Visual Filter" and point it 
      to "|".
    * Catalog item context menu: reorganized the top 4 commands so that 
      Open and Goto are both always available from the menu. Just the 
      default (bold) command changes with the item's setting of "Open on 
      Click".
    ! Fixed a number of glitches with the new "Open on Click".
    ! Tree context menu: Open In New Background Tab (Ctrl+Click) removed 
      any Visual Filter from the current tab. Fixed.
    ! Name Search results did not accept setting a Visual Filter. Fixed.
    * Changed "Visual Filter" and "Open on Click" overlay icons.

v5.60.0020 - 20.02.07 19:02 (The Nubbel Edition)
    + Menu View: added toggle-command "Suspend Auto-Refresh". Will 
      immediately and temporarily stop (resp. reactivate) any auto-
      refreshing for the current location, without changing the general 
      Auto-Refresh setting. Auto-Refresh is automatically reactivated 
      (only if Auto-Refresh is ON, of course) when the current location 
      is changed.
      Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+R
    * Menu View | Current Tab | Sort By | Random Order:
      New Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+R (same as AltGr+R)
    + Rename Special | Search and Replace...: muchachos, now the default 
      modo de operación is case-insensitive (i.e. case differences are 
      ignored, A=a). To force case-sensitive hamdling suffix a backslash 
      "\". For example, on a file Gnu.jpg:
        gnu/lion    -> lion.jpg
        gnu/lion\   -> Gnu.jpg [unchanged because no match]
      No big surprise, since the "\"-switch is already used since long 
      in "RegExp Rename...".
    * Menu File: Preview (Ctrl+Q) now toggles Preview (resp. Raw View, 
      depending on the selected Info Panel tab) of the current file 
      ON/OFF.
      Ctrl+Space can be used to a quite similar effect, but only if the 
      List has the input focus. Ctrl+Q, on the other hand, works always, 
      and it leaves the selection state untouched.

    + Find Files Tab: now you can (de)activate search filters by 
      - Ctrl+Clicking the tab headers
      - Right-Clicking the tab headers
    ! The new "Suspend Auto-Refresh" was not "suspending enough" to 
      manually unlock a watched USB drive to allow a safe remove.
      Now it is.

  +++ Everything is relative! Relative to application path.
      Now Catalog, Address Bar, Favorites, and Goto accept the following 
      relative syntax:
      If the running XYplorer instance is located at 
            C:\Programs\XYplorer\
      then
        (a) ?:\Programs\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
        (b) XYplorer.ini
        (c) ..\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
      are all resolved to
            C:\Programs\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
      Note, that also Catalog drop targets (folders and files) can be 
      relative now. Total portability.
    + Menu Tools | List Management | File Associations: now the 
      Browse... button works and helps you to select an executable.
      Note, that in the "Browse for Folder (File, Executable)" dialog 
      when you select a LNK file it is automatically resolved to its 
      target.
    ! Browse For Folder dialogs did not work alright in Win98. Fixed.

    ! Fixed some relativity glitches (see v5.60.0022 +++ ...).
    * Menu File: Preview (Ctrl+Q) now hides the info panel if it is 
      visible, preview tab active, and no file selected/previewed.
    ! Auto-Refresh did not work in Win95 (Win98, neither???). Fixed.
    ! Browse For Folder dialogs did not work alright in Win9x.
      Fixed, part 2.

      Sizes in File List" ON. Fixed.

      was not shown:
      - Photoshop filters (*.8bf) 
      - FON files (*.fon)

    + Added the possibility to experimentally add file types, identified 
      by their extension, to the image preview. This feature is 
      currently in the hard-core stage, so you have to edit the INI file 
      manually. Goto the section [Settings] and find the key 
      "ImagePreviewCustomExtensions" near the end of the list (the key 
      is only there after you have run and closed this version at least 
      one time!).
      The format of the values is "dot-[extension-dot-]extension-dot". 
      So it could look like this, for example:
        [Settings]
        ImagePreviewCustomExtensions=.max.yax.zax.
    + Statusbar sections now have tooltips. Useful to read overlong 
      contents.
    ! Drives containing any of these chars °+~! in their display name 
      would not be accessible from the toolbar's Drives button. Fixed.
    ! Rare but real crash (run-time error '10') on hyperactive browsing 
      with "Show Folder Sizes in File List" ON. Fixed.

    + Image Preview: added better *.max and *.tga support (but it only 
      works if Windows supports these formats).
    ! Better solution for the run-time error '10' issue. Now you can 
      expand any folders while getting folder sizes in the current folder 
      is going on. And get no bug.
    + Toolbar: new button "Open Recycle Bin" featuring a context menu 
      with some Recycle Bin commands.

  +++ Added preview of *.tga files (Targa)! Supported formats: 8 bit, 16 
      bit, 24 bit, 32 bit, each uncompressed and RLE compressed.
      Note that XYplorer's TGA support is XY-native (!), i.e. totally 
      independent of any external OS or 3rd-party decoders.
      And it's fast.
    + Added preview of *.emf files (Enhanced Meta File).
    ! Opening folders and files using the Catalog: If the item is a 
      file, it should be selected in the file list, however this did not 
      work on network locations. Fixed.

    + Toolbar: "Suspend Auto-Refresh" is now featured in the context 
      menu of the Refresh button.
    ! TGA preview crashed on 8-bit monochrome (grey) images. Fixed.
    ! List: Dbl-right-clicking a file could lead to a "file not found"
      error if no file was selected. Now the currently focused file 
      (whether selected or not) will be opened on a dbl-right-click. 
      This is not really a feature but a tolerated side-effect ;)
    ! Configuration | Colors: displayed list color were not correctly 
      initialized to the current list mode (but always set to Browse 
      mode).
    ! Fixed a drag'n'drop related keyboard glitch that's almost 
      impossible to explain.

    ! TGA preview crashed on TGA files containing Image ID field. Fixed.
    ! On right-click-selecting a non-current folder in tree, and then 
      choosing Delete from the context menu, the current folder instead of 
      the selected folder was prompted to be deleted. Fixed.
    ! Attempting to browse currently unavailable network locations in a

    ! Now multiple items to be deleted or moved are backward-sorted 
      before the job, to avoid that an item is first deleted along with 
      its containing folder and then individually again when it's gone 
      already which would raise a shell error "file not found...".
    + Tabs: now Shift+Click on the tab header closes that (foreground or 
      background) tab.
