    * Scripting: Now you can pass XY variables without quoting even if they 
      contain dots. Before, the dots would have been seen as concatenators.
      Both examples return the same:
        echo <date dd.mm.yyyy>;
        echo "<date dd.mm.yyyy>";

    + Toolbar: Added a button to toggle "Manual Sorting".
    * Find Files | Contents: Improved the logic so that also unknown text file 
      types are searched when content type is set to "Text". This means you 
      don't have to add any unknown extensions to Previewed Formats anymore to 
      find textual contents in them.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.51.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.51.lng is uploaded.

    ! Paper Folders: Fixed a glitch with dragging items onto an empty PF in a 
      background tab (it created an empty line at the top of the PF which lead 
      to a useless message box).
    ! SC report: Crashed when passing a drive as itemlist. Fixed.

    + Tree and Catalog: The plus/minus symbols (node expansion) now come in a 
      larger variant when the font prints higher than 20 pixels (that's e.g. 
      from Segoe 12 under DPI 100%).
    * User Buttons: Increased their number from 32 to 64.
    * Configuration | Styles | Borders: Now also all edit boxes show the "Dark 
      Border" color unless "Windows Themes" is selected. Under Win 8.1 this 
      color is a bit softer/lighter than the default Windows theme border color. 
      Restart required to take effect in edit boxes.
    * Breadcrumb Bars: Factory default style now "Flat Bar" under Win8 or later.
    * Find Files | Reset Filters: Now the setting of "Find Files | Contents | 
      Type" is not reset anymore when you reset filters. It is assumed that most 
      users will rather keep this setting as is.
    * Keyboard Shortcuts: Added Alt+D as default shortcut to focus the Address 
      Bar (command Miscellaneous / Focus Functions / Focus Address Bar). The old 
      shortcut Ctrl+Alt+A is kept as an alternative as well.
      Reason: Alt+D seems to be the de facto standard shortcut to focus the 
      Address Bar in many apps.
      Note: To make this work, the accelerator "D" for "Ignore Diacritics" on 
      the "Find Files | Name & Location" tab had to be changed to another 
      letter. Also translations should avoid D as accelerator anywhere in the 
      main window.
    ! Custom Copy: When copying items from a multi-location (or whole-computer) 
      search results listing, the items were created in the destination with 
      their full source path. This feature has been added for Backup operations 
      in v6.40.0020 and later had been wrongly applied to Custom Copy ever since 
      Custom Copy was added. Fixed.

    * Tree and Catalog: The extra-large plus/minus symbols now support the tweak 
      "FlatPlusMinus".
    * Configuration | Styles | Borders: Improved the recent change. Now it only 
      applies to the Address Bar, and a restart is not required if you switch 
      between "Windows Themes" and any of the other settings. So the AB now can 
      have two looks: "Windows Themes" or non-"Windows Themes".
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch with custom node indent, and depending 
      on borders style settings. Fixed.
    ! Action Log: The resize dialog algorithm was imperfect. Fixed.

v14.30.0404 - 2014-08-17 17:01
  +++ Catalog | Context Menu | Insert as New Category Here: Added command "Tag 
      List". Use it to add a new category filled with all tags currently used in 
      tag.dat, one tag per item, sorted. The items in this category can be used 
      for tagging: Click and Tag! Another step towards tagging perfection.
      Notes:
      - The category and its items are internally marked as "Click and Tag". 
        There is no interface to configure this manually.
      - The category does not auto-update if you use new tags when tagging.
      - The category is created with search location set to "* /T". This is 
        just a little service that lets you convert the "Click and Tag" category 
        to a "Click and Search" category by simply ticking "Use category for 
        searching".
    + Toolbar: Added a new command to the right-click menu of the four 
      Tags-related buttons: "Update Tag List". Click it to update the tag list 
      to the tags currently used in tag.dat.
    * Catalog | Context Menu | Insert as New Category Here | Labels: Renamed the 
      command to "Click and Search: Labels".
    * Catalog | Context Menu | Insert as New Category Here | Tags: Renamed the 
      command to "Click and Search: Tags".
    * Catalog Item Properties: Stripped the "Edit" from dialog captions like 
      "Edit Catalog Properties".
    ! Catalog: Insert a New Category Here | Clipboard Item(s) did not 
      work at all due to a false index. Fixed.
    ! Tag Cloud: Did not find items with quoted tags. Fixed.
    * Dropdown Boxes: Under Win 8 and later the unhovered dropdown arrow buttons 
      now are drawn without background or borders. Looks much cooler.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch. Fixed.

    ! Insert as New Category Here | Tag List: Buggy with certain exceptionally

      not always immediately disappear form the listing. Fixed.

  +++ Catalog | Context Menu | Insert as New Category Here: Added command "Click 
      and Label". Use it to add a new category filled with all Labels currently 
      defined, including "None" for removing any label. Another step towards 
      tagging perfection: Comfy one-click labeling.
    + Click and Tag: Additionally to "Add Tag" you now can "Set Tag" and "Remove 
      Tag":
      - Set Tag: Hold CTRL when doing Click and Tag to replace the clicked 
        item's current tags with the clicked tag.
      - Remove Tag: Hold SHIFT when doing Click and Tag to remove the clicked 
        tag from the clicked item.
      Both new options are also available from the Catalog Items context menu in 
      a Click and Tag category.
    ! Raw View: Scrolling to Home or End by key did not work with overlong 
      lists. Fixed.
    % The factory defaults under Win8 and later now produce a more flat look 
      with less lines and less 3D effects. Flat is the new 3D!

    + Tweak to control when the extra-large plus/minus symbols are shown. The 
      value is the minimum font height in pixels. Defaults to 21.
        LargePlusMinus=21
      To always show the extra-large plus/minus symbols set it to 1:
        LargePlusMinus=1
    * Catalog | Context Menu | Insert as New Category Here: Renamed commands 
      "Click and Label" to "Click and Tag: Labels", and "Click and Tag" to 
      "Click and Tag: Tags".
    * Serial rename by Up and Down keys: Now Serial Rename is only invoked if 
      nothing is selected in the current rename box. That way you still get the 
      cool XYplorer-only KeyDown trick (remove selection without moving the 
      cursor) even in Serial Rename mode.
    * Updated the help file.

  *** Edit Boxes: Now when there is a selection and you press the Left (Right) 
      key the caret will jump to the beginning (end) of the selection and the 
      selection will be removed.
      Note that the Windows shell itself behaves differently, e.g. Windows 
      Explorer: caret moves one step into the direction, selection is removed. 
      But most modern software seems to behave like the new way -- it seems 
      simply more practical.
    ! Address Bar: Pasting a path containing brackets ([...]) could crash the 
      app under certain conditions. Fixed.

    + Catalog: All tag-related categories (Click and Tag, Click and Search) and 
      their items now have a new item "Update Category" in their context menu. 
      Click it to update the items listed in the category to the latest state of 
      the tags database. Another step towards tagging perfection.
      Before, you would have to add a new Category and delete the old one. 
    * Click and Tag: Now the focus goes right back to the List after clicking. 
      Much more useful. There is no point in keeping the focus on the Catalog.
    ! List: The Comment column did not display TAB characters. Fixed.

    * Tree Node Crumbs: Reversed the coloring. Now, child folders that are 
      already present in the Mini Tree are colored with "Marked Text 2" color in 
      the popup. And, this coloring is done now only in Mini Tree; it's 
      pointless in Maxi Tree.
    * Shell Drop: Now when shell drop is not possible because the dropped items 
      are from multiple locations you are automatically offered XY's custom drop 
      menu.
    ! Shell Drop: Failed on right-mouse dropping items from multiple locations 
      without showing the expcted error message. Fixed.
