v22.70.0101 - 2022-01-21 17:21
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: LLog
      Action: Pops a dialog showing the current load log (aka load times).
      Syntax: llog
      Remarks:
        - It's basically a shorthand for:
            text get("loadtimes");
          but with a little more information in the header.
      Example:
        llog;
    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails 
      and Icons: Added option "Remember relative position". Tick it to remember the 
      relative position of the blow ups on file icons (relative to the point of 
      mouse down).
      The relative position is now remembered across sessions.
      Raises tweak MDBURememberPosition to UI.
    * Tools | Customize List | Size Column Format: Renamed "Show Space Used" to 
      "Show Size on Disk". It shows the actual disk space used (based on 
      required clusters and accounting for compression), not the size of the 
      files.
      Note that the Status Bar always shows the real uncompressed size of the 
      selected files.
    > List Columns | Size on Disk | Cell Context Menu: Live Filter and Quick 
      Search currently don't work with this column. Later...
    * Info Panel | Properties: Renamed "Space used:" to "Size on disk:" and also 
      modified its meaning: Now it takes any existing compression into account, 
      for individual file sizes as well as for folder sizes.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.142.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.142.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:

It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    ! Thumbnails: Found yet another way to meet white thumbnails. Fixed.

v22.70.0103 - 2022-01-23 11:33
    * File | Rename Special | Batch Rename...: The recent change from 
      v22.60.0101 - 2021-12-18 16:43 still resulted in redundant increment 
      suffixes, e.g. when renaming items using file specific variables (eg 
      <datem yyyymmdd>-<prop size>/i) in the pattern. Improved again.
    ! SC ThumbsConf: Always refreshed the thumbnails if the "Transparency" flag 
      was passed, even if it did not change the current value. Fixed.
    ! Verbatim Tooltips: The tips on key-up did not work in the This PC list. 
      Fixed.

    + Added a tweak to define a list of extensions for file types that only have 
      64-bit thumbnail providers. This is the factory default:
        Thumbs64Ext=afphoto.afdesign.afpub.c4d.sldasm.slddrw.sldprt.xar
      FYI, this tweak exists since 20210402 but was never mentioned in the 
      change log.
    + Size on Disk: Now it also does it correctly for sparse files.
    ! Thumbnails: Many less common file types have not received thumbnails since 
      some changes on 20220109. Fixed.
    ! File Info Tips: The tips for items in "C:\Windows\System32" actually 
      showed the information for the mirror items in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" if 
      they existed. Fixed.

v22.70.0220 - 2022-01-27 13:32
  +++ Dark Mode: Had a little epiphany this morning. Now these controls are dark if XY is 
      dark (even if Windows itself is not in Dark Mode!):
      - Buttons
      - Scrollbars
      Caveat: You need Win 10 or higher.
      Still missing: Title Bar, Menu Bar, and (weirdly) native Combo Boxes that just don't 
      want to behave. Working on it...
    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: Added tweak 
      MDBULoupeSpeed. Factory default is 100 (percent). This, for example, would make it 
      half as fast:
        MDBULoupeSpeed=50
      Note that only with value 100 the mouse up on the moved, blown up original (and 
      thereby closing it) will end up at the exact same point on the thumbnail.
    * Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | General | Movement: The loupe speed 
      for MDBU on icons is now half as fast as before.
    * Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | No network browsing on startup: Probably 
      found a better fix (see v22.70.0204). Now the correct drive icon and name should be 
      shown for unavailable network drives, without any delays.

    + Dark Mode: Now the title bar and window borders are dark if XY is in Dark Mode. 
      Actually "dark" is pitch black, currently I see no way to customize this blackness 
      within XY. Of course, you can always customize the title bar and border colors via 
      Windows display settings.
      - You need Win 10 release 2004 (May 2020) or higher.
    + Dark Mode: Now the popup menus (also from the main menu, but unfortunately not the 
      main menu bar itself) are dark if Windows itself is in Dark Mode. Yes, this color 
      apparently (or should I say "currently"? -- MS's implementation of Dark Mode in 
      Windows is still work in progress) cannot be controlled by XY's own Dark Mode.
      - You need Win 10 release 2004 (May 2020) or higher.
      - If Windows itself is in Dark (Light) Mode then XYplorer should be in Dark (Light) 
        Mode as well already on start up. Only then the icons in popup menus are drawn 
        with the right background color. (This limitation will probably disappear in the 
        future.)

    + Dark Mode | Multiline Text Boxes: Now also here the scrollbars are dark.
    + Dark Mode | Address Bar (and other dropdowns): Now also here the scrollbars are dark 
      right away when starting in dark mode.
    % Dark Mode | Popup Menus: Now the app correctly detects Windows dark mode at startup 
      so that the menu icons are always drawn with the right background color. No need 
      anymore to sync Windows and XY dark mode. The v22.70.0245 limitation is gone.

    + Dark Mode | Dropdowns: Managed to make them dark! But since there is no real Windows 
      support for this (I hope they are still working on it) I had to use a dirty hack. 
      The result looks a bit retro-futuristic but you will get used to it. Better than 
      white.
      - You need Win 10 release 2004 (May 2020) or higher.
    % Labels: In many list views, a label's background color was not visible when the file 
      was selected (because it was completely covered by the selection color). Now it is 
      ensured that some of the label color is always visible.
      While at it I made that visible minimum 5 pixels wider.
