We've released Beyond Compare 5.0.7.30840.

Notable Changes:
General stability and polish improvements.

Sorry, filters don't support absolute paths, they're always global (*.xml) or relative to the base folder (.\*.xml).

Open in New View makes the selected folder the base folder. Because your filter is .\bin\*.xml, it's relative to that new base folder.

The filter is relative to the base folder. If the base folder is c:\folder\, then .\bin\*.xml will exclude files matching c:\folder\bin\*.xml. If the base folder is c:\folder\bin\, then .\bin\*.xml will exclude files matching c:\folder\bin\bin\*.xml.
