New features:

• Mouse: Paul Ratcliffe added the "Screen wrap" feature a la NPSWPS to the special actions for screen borders.

• Startup: "Pre-populate desktop" feature. See the "Features" page in XWPSetup.

• &pgr;: Holding down the "Shift" key while dragging mini-windows in the pager window now drags across virtual screens, keeping the window's position. Thanks, Martin Lafaix.

• Object button widgets are no longer shown in the "Add widget" menu since they were always disabled anyway.

• &xcenter;: Now painting bottom 3D color in black for better contrast.

• Saved a precious PM timer in the Worker thread that was used for close to nothing.

• PageMage was renamed to &pgr;. This requires also that you reconfigure the pager settings, unfortunately.

• Common: Fixed another problem with AM/PM (12-hour) time display, which always ended up with "00:" when "12:" should have been displayed.

• File pages replacement: Now refreshing page when page is turned back to.

• Program objects: Fixed a bunch of problems with programs not remembering setting changes and the bug that program objects could no longer be properly created at all. That was a hard one. Added exception handling to a number of replacement methods too since apparently the code crashed sometimes. Parts of this code were and are active even if extended associations were disabled.

• Programs: Fixed memory problems with my WinStartApp wrapper which sometimes ate parts of the environment of the process to be started. (The code was and is active only if extended associations are enabled.)

• Programs: Fixed hangs with VIO programs when not started from thread 1.

• Folder sorting / status bars: Hopefully fixed the mysterious scroll bars that would pop up in folder icon views (in "as placed" mode) if "always sort" was off for a folder.

• Folder sorting: "Sort by class" and "type" would never sort if two objects had the same class or type. Fixed, now falling back to sort by name for those cases.

• Turbo folders: Miscellanous fixes for thread synchronization problems which could lead to duplicate objects for the same file.

• Icon replacements: Fixed missing icons with PMMail attachments display.

• Icon replacements: Implemented wpQueryIconData everywhere so that "Edit icon" and drag'n'drop show the replacement icons too.

• Icon replacements: Custom icons in the .ICON EA were ignored always and overridden by association icon. Fixed.

• Icon replacements: Fixed several places where the WPS succeeded in killing my shared icons, resulting in blank icons for a whole bunch of objects.

• File dialog: Large number of fixes for duplicate objects in tree view plus frequent bad scrolling.

• &xcenter;: Knut St. Osmundsen fixed a bunch of display problems introduced with the recent SMP update. He reported this now works fine on SMP. Display looks much better now.

• &pgr;: Martin Lafaix fixed a large number of glitches with &pgr;'s display plus some problems with minimized/maximized windows.
