    + List | Drives mode: Now the sum of selected drives' sizes is shown in the 
      Status Bar (free bytes and capacity).
    + Info Panel | Find Files | Name & Location | Browse button: Added "Set to 
      Panes" to the context menu of the button. Click it to set the search 
      location to the current paths of both panes.
    ! SC get: Called with parameters "bytesselected" or "bytestotal" the command 
      would crash on drives listings. Fixed. Now this returns the used bytes on 
      all selected drives in the current drives listing:
        echo formatbytes(get("bytesselected"));

    * File | Open with... (Ctrl+Alt+Enter): Now the KS opens the menu on KeyUp, 
      not KeyDown. Fixes a nasty beep issue with certain custom KSs.
    > Tip: This pops a list of all folders (recursively, without files) below 
      the current folder:
        text runret("cmd /c dir /s /b /o:n /ad");

    * Custom Copy: Increased the width of the progress window by 50 pixels to 
      600 pixels.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0080.
    ! Freeze Info and Preview: Did not play well together with Configuration | 
      Preview | Audio/Video preview = "Play next" or "Play next and loop", for 
      quite logical reasons. From now on "Play next" and "Play next and loop" 
      simply don't happen if Info and Preview are frozen.

    ! Backgrounded File Operations did not work anymore in v16.60.0301 due to a 
      bug in XYcopy 2.10.0080. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0081.
    ! MLS: With "Help | Command IDs on Menu" ticked, some commands in the 
      context menus of the Toolbar buttons were not translated. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Minimize to tray: If ticked then 
      aero-snapped window was not correctly restored from tray. Fixed.

v16.60.0303 - 2016-04-25 18:38
    + Toolbar: Added button "Show Folder Sizes". It functionally corresponds to 
      "Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Sizes", i.e. it toggles the "Show 
      Folder Sizes" list style (not to confuse with the global setting 
      "Configuration | Tree and List | List | Show folder sizes").
      Note that when toggling it off any running folder size calculation is 
      aborted immediately (like pressing ESC) and any already shown folder sizes 
      are hidden in the list (to just stop calculation without hiding already 
      shown folder sizes press ESC).
      The wonderful pizza slice icon has been designed by (and legally bought 
      from) Sensible World (http://symbolicons.com/).
      Why Pizza??? Well, it's how I think: When you say folder size I think 
      pizza slice. No need to say that the little olives are the files. Welcome 
      to my brain.
    * Preview Pane: Now when the Preview Pane is toggled on and there is no 
      current item (hint: the Status Bar does not show the name of an item) then 
      the focused and selected list item (if any) is automatically made the 
      current item, and hence previewed in the Preview Pane.
    * List: From now on multiple selected files are dragged in their current 
      order, independent of which of them has the current focus.
    ! Visual Filters: Since v13.20.0011 - 2013-11-09 13:42 the unary NOT 
      operator "!" can also be used for individual non-first operands in a 
      Boolean expression.
      However, this never worked correctly for OR-ed non-first operands!
        cat and !dog  //cat and not dog -- worked
        cat;!dog      //cat or not dog  -- DID NOT WORK!
      Fixed. 
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.75.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.75.lng is uploaded.

v16.60.0304 - 2016-04-27 16:11
    + Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Type Ahead Find | Paste and find: 
      Now it also supports "Paste and Go" (as already available in the context 
      menu of the Breadcrumb Bars): If the pasted string is a path then XY will 
      go to it. Can also be a full path filename. In that case the file will be 
      focused and selected in the list. Cool enhancement!
    + Paste and Go: Now you can also paste a path string into the *Tree* and XY 
      will go to it.
    + SC get("item") enhanced: Added an optional parameter to pass the position 
      of the item in the list (the first position is "1"). If missing the 
      focused item is returned.
      Syntax: get("Item", [pane=a], [pos])
      Examples:
        echo get("item", , 4); //item at position 4
      Also works as variable:
        echo <get item  4>; //note the 2 spaces! the "pane" parameter is missing
    * Edit | Paste Special | Edit Files in Clipboard...: Renamed it to "Edit 
      Clipboard..." and enhanced the functionality. Now it can show and edit not 
      only files in clipboard, but also text!
    * Toolbar: The same enhancement applies to the same-named toolbar button.
    + Toolbar | Edit Clipboard: The button tooltip now serves as a quick and 
      basic clipboard viewer. It shows text and file items contained in the 
      clipboard (cropped after 2048 characters, or after 32 lines, whatever 
      comes sooner).
    % Toolbar: Flatter look for pressed buttons.
    ! History: A tab could lose its back history under certain conditions if 
      "History per tab" was enabled. Fixed.

v16.60.0306 - 2016-04-28 12:45
    + Color Filters: Added per-filter Control Selectors. They let you define 
      whether a filter is applied to the Tree, or to the List, or to both, for 
      each filter individually.

        Control Selector        Function
        ------------------------------------------------------
        T: or t:                Limit color filter to the Tree
        L: or l:                Limit color filter to the List
        else                    No limits
      
      The Control Selectors are prefixed to the filter definition (but come 
      after any caption). For example:
        T:ageM: <= 24 h
        L:ageM: <= 24 h
        "Modified Today" T:ageM: d
      Of course, Control Selectors are also supported in SC colorfilter():
        colorfilter('"Mod Today (Tree)" T:ageM: d>FFFFFF,70B926');  //Tree only
        colorfilter('"Mod Today (List)" L:ageM: d>FFFFFF,70B926');  //List only
      Remarks:
      - This also allows you to color code the same criteria differently in Tree 
        and List (whatever that would be good for).
      - In case of normal (non-instant) Color Filters the control selectors are 
        limited by the global settings "Apply color filters to the List" and 
        "Apply color filters to the Tree": If any of them is disabled, then a 
        Control Selector cannot overwrite this.
    ! Color Filters: The order of AND-ed filters could make a difference in the 
      Tree if at least one of the filters was not applicable to the tree. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | Toggle Instant Color Filters: The tooltip displayed a cropped 
      filter definition if it contained the ">" character. Fixed.
    * Portable File Associations: LNKs are now passed unresolved, i.e. as *.lnk, 
      to the associated applications or scripts.
      Notes:
      - This had already be done once in v14.70.0012 - 2014-12-21 19:42, but 
        later has been changed for various, but ultimately wrong reasons.
        I now think PFA is a stronger feature when it's not LNK-smart.
      - Actually LNKs have always been passed unresolved to PFA on opening a 
        file by Enter or Double-Click. So there also was a glaring 
        inconsistency. Fixed now.
    * Restyled the Help file a little.

      listed.
    * Recent File Operations: Raised the max size of the popup menu from 10+10 
      to 16+16 items.
    ! Scripting: Consecutive date shifted variables within one string 
      accumulated the shifts because something was not reset. Fixed.
        Before: msg "<date -1y yyyy> <date -1y yyyy>";  //2015 2014

v16.70.0002 - 2016-05-04 21:08
    + Folder Size Caching: Calculating Folder Sizes takes time. Now the 
      results of the calculation can optionally be cached. The cache lives as 
      long as the session. In a later version it might even survive it.
      If Folder Size Caching is enabled, it's still not used on all occasions. 
      The main idea of the cache is to speed up browsing, but in other contexts 
      exactness is more important than speed. Here is when/how the cache is 
      actually used:
      - The cache is read and written in:
        - File List
        - Properties Tab
      - The cache is not read (but written) in:
        - Reports
        - SC foldersize()
        - Selection Stats
        - Find Files by Size
        - Menu View | Calculate Folder Sizes (Shift+F5)
      Further Notes:
      - How to turn it on: Tick the new option "Configuration | Tree and List | 
        List | Cache folder sizes".
      - How to refresh the cache for certain folders: Simply use menu "View | 
        Calculate Folder Sizes" (Shift+F5). This command will refresh the cache 
        for all selected folders, or for all folders in the list if none is 
        selected.
      - The cache stays alive when you toggle off Show Folder Sizes.
      - NOTE: At the moment nothing will auto-update the cache. So it can and 
        will become stale during a longer session. If that's too risky for you 
        do not use it!!!
      - To reduce the risk of falling into the stale cache trap a tilde (~) is 
        prefixed to every folder size when caching is enabled.

v16.70.0003 - 2016-05-05 20:19
    + Batch Rename: Added support for variable <folder>, resolved to each item's 
      parent folder name. For example, this pattern will prefix the item's parent 
      folder name to each renamed item:
        <folder>-*
    ! Color Filters: In thumbnails views the caption of a selected item that was 
      colored by a Color Filter was drawn in standard highlight color instead of 
      Color Filter's text color (which in certain color combinations could even 
      render it unreadable). Fixed.
