    + List: Now when you hold CTRL and right-click a cell in the Size column the 
      cell's context menu shows a number of common size display formats (RAW, 
      Bytes, KB, MB, GB) of the file's size, ready to be copied to the 
      clipboard.
      Don't know about your time, but it will surely save some of mine.
      Tip: Alternative one-hand method: Left-button-down + Right-click.
    + SC get got a new named argument "targetitems" by which you can retrieve 
      the full paths of all target items of the last file operation (copy, move, 
      backup, create new, add to paper folder).
      Syntax: get("targetitems", [separator=CRLF])
      Notes:
        These items are NOT remembered across sessions.
      Examples:
        echo get("targetitems");
        echo get("targetitems", "|");
      Of course, also the variable <get ...> supports it:
        echo <get "targetitems">;
        echo <get "targetitems" "|">;

    * Looks: Added flatness to the colored backgrounds of Dupes and Grid, and 
      optional flatness (with OS-dependent defaults) to Labels and unfocused 
      selections in Tree and all lists. The setting is currently only available 
      as a tweak:
        FlatLook=1
      On upgrading it will be auto-set to 1 if you're on Win8 or later. If not 
      happy: tweak it.
    * Updated the help file.

    + Info Panel | Meta: For photos with EXIF data I added "Focal Length" (which 
      had been mysteriously missing), "Exposure Bias" (which I personally find 
      useful), and "Metering Mode" (just to fill the remaining space).
    + List: More smart right-click copy options (Ctrl+Right-click). Try the Name 
      and the three Date columns. Nice, useful, and cool. And note that you can 
      copy this stuff without even selecting the items.
    ! Catalog: The default Catalog pointed to an outdated tour URL. Fixed.

    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: Obfuscate
      Action: Obfuscates item names in Tree, List, Address Bar, Tabs, 
              Breadcrumb Bars, Status Bar, Info Panel, and Window caption.
      Syntax: obfuscate [value], [bullet]
        value:  [optional]

        obfuscate 1, "x";

    * Obfuscate: If you save settings in obfuscated state then the app is 
      auto-de-obfuscated, otherwise some items would be written obfuscated to 
      the INI which not anything you want.
    * List: PageDown/Up now move to the next/previous column in "List" view when 
      already at the bottom/top.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0074.
    ! List: PageUp/Down did not do anything when less than two full rows were 
      displayed. Fixed.

      or less files now. Reason: The log data might be too heavy on the string 
      memory in some contexts.

v15.40.0009 - 2015-06-25 17:17
    * Custom Copy: Removed the experimental changes from v15.40.0006.
    * Custom Copy: Instead added a tweak to suppress creating a log for jobs 
      from a certain number of files upwards.
      This e.g. would suppress logging for jobs of 1 million files or more:
        CustomCopyNoLog=1000000
      This e.g. would suppress logging for jobs for any number of files:
        CustomCopyNoLog=1
      This e.g. would NOT suppress logging:
        CustomCopyNoLog=0
      If logging is suppressed then you get a warning:
        "No log will be created for this job (# files)."
      Use 1: If a log is created then with each copied file around 100-400 bytes 
      (depending on the path lengths) of additional memory are used up. In 
      certain contexts this can lead to an "Out of String Space" error. 
      Suppressing the log will completely eliminate this memory usage during the 
      copy.
      Note that only one user ever reported this error happening, but hey, here 
      is the tweak just for him.
      Use 2: Suppressing the log will slightly speed up the job.      
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0076.

    + Info Panel | Find Files | Date: Added an experimental Date Picker to the 
      "between" and "and/add" fields. Press F1 when in either of the fields. The 
      rest should be self-explaining.
      Credits for the basics of the Date Picker code go to T. Jackson who posted 
      this code to the public domain in 2006.
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Date: The values in the "between" and "and/add" 
      fields are not normalized anymore, i.e. whatever you enter will be left 
      unchanged. Before, dates were rewritten in the current system date format.
    * Tweak CustomCopyNoLog: Removed the message. Too intrusive.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0077.
    ! Visual Filters and Quick Search: Did not handle "time-less" ISO dates 
      alright. Now this works:
        dateM: 2015-05-18
      FYI, this always worked:
        dateM: 2015-05-18 - 2015-05-27
