Lately, whenever I download one of yaP's ready-made examples (from http://www.rolandtoth.hu/yaP/#examples), launcher INI files are coming in Unix text format (UTF-8 with LF only). What gives?

As the majority are Windows only apps, ANSI with Windows standard line endings (CR+LF) would be preferable, IMHO. Thanks anyway for your continued support.

• Thanks for the nice tip, rbon.
  
  I used a text editor to the same purpose, but it's still a nuisance. And I can't grasp any need for it.

tproli - Would it be possible for yaP to only keep the latest file? This could work on either the BEFORE or AFTER section.

• I pondered how to solve your problem: instead of testing file time-stamp to find the latest, my best shot would be creating a temporary folder with the last save, compare them and if they differ, erase said folder and create a new one with the current version.
  
  Or use the "iniwrite" keyword to write the name of the file before launch and then remove that file with "iniread" and "-file"... or maybe vice-versa.
  
  And "batch" could be yet another option.
  
  BTW, I found this on Soulseek forums: http://www.slsknet.org/news/node/2306 and http://www.slsknet.org/news/node/452.

  - NEW: uservars available in GENERAL section too (suggested by Shyam Saurabh)
  - NEW: option to set default values for USERINPUT, USERFILE and USERDIR
  To make this work, new user variables have to be created beforehands.
  
  Examples:
  
  uservar = USERTEXT_DEFAULT :: Hello!
  uservar = USERTEXT_TITLE :: Important notice
  uservar = USERTEXT_MESSAGE :: Please say Hi or Hello
  message = {USERTEXT}
  
  uservar = USERFILE_DEFAULT :: D:\helloworld.txt
  uservar = USERFILE_TITLE :: Please select your favorite file
  uservar = USERFILE_PATTERN :: Text files | *.txt;*.json | Documents | *.doc
  message = {USERFILE}
  
  uservar = USERDIR_DEFAULT :: %windir%
  uservar = USERDIR_TITLE :: Please select your favorite folder
  message = {USERDIR}
  
  v0.6.5 build 293 BETA - March 30, 2015
  - FIXED: launching applications with non-exe extension (thanks to Midas)
  - NEW: main icon update
  
  v0.6.5 build 287 BETA - February 16, 2015
  - NEW: ini keys ending with "X64" are executed only if:
  - yaP is running on 64bit Windows, and
  - the "application" key has a second exe set (indicating that yaP is running in X64 mode)
  
  Example:
  application = App\App.exe :: App\AppX64.exe
  envvar = JAVA_HOME :: {YAPROOT}\jre
  envvarX64 = JAVA_HOME :: {YAPROOT}\jre64
  
  The first exe must be set even if the application does not support 32bit:
  application = NULL :: App\AppX64.exe
  
  - NEW: ini keys ending with "X86" are executed only if yaP is not running on 64bit Windows
  - FIXED: keep passed parameters when yaP is restarted in admin mode
  - FIXED: adding registry values failed if contained spaces
  
  v0.6 build 188 BETA
  - NEW: added 64bit version of yaP to the distribution package (yaPX64.exe).
  The 64bit version allows accessing registry keys without redirection (e.g. HKLM\Software).
  - NEW: launching main application maximized/minimized/hidden
  Syntax: application = App.exe [ :: AppX64.exe] [ :: max | min | hide]
  Example: application = App\App.exe :: NULL :: max
  - NEW: using "*" as the first character of main exe disables main application path validation
  Example: application = *App\NonExistingFile.exe
  - NEW: systemrefresh also refresh desktop wallpaper
  - NEW: {JAVAEXE} macro: absolute path to installed Java executable (javaw.exe)
  Example usage:
  application = {JAVAEXE}
  commandline = -jar "{YAPROOT}\App\MyFile.jar"
  - NEW: on X64 systems yaP first looks for "<EXENAME>X64.ini".
  If not found, "<EXENAME>.ini" will used.
  Same holds true for the "yaP.ini" fallback (first "yaPX64.ini", then "yaP.ini").
