    ! Special Properties: prop:#ShortcutTarget would return a non-empty value 
      for empty files. Fixed.
    ! Color Filters: Color Filters not applicable to Tree would still be applied 
      under certain circumstances (since v16.60.0306 - 2016-04-28 12:45).
      For example, this was applied to ALL tree items:
        !prop:#ShortcutTarget: // items that do NOT have an empty #ShortcutTarget
      Fixed.

v18.50.0000 - 2017-10-02 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Toolbar Captions. Finally XYplorer's newbie-friendliness extends to the 
      toolbar. If you ever wanted to know what those colorful toolbar buttons 
      actually do, this version comes with optional captions.
  +++ Sync Caps. Now Sync Folders ensures that the capitalization (lower/upper 
      case letters in the item names) of the target files and folders exactly 
      matches that of the source items.
  +++ Filtered Sync. Now you can explicitly include and exclude files and 
      folders from Sync Folders by passing a list of patterns to the job. 
      Wildcards supported. Scripting abilities needed.
  +++ Shortcut Overlays. Now you can say no to shortcut overlays.

    + Info Panel | Meta: Now the targets of junctions and symbolic links are 
      shown.
    ! Junction Target: Would not show the Junction Target of relative symbolic 
      links. Fixed.
    ! Special Property Columns: "Junction Target" and "Shortcut Target" were 
      right-aligned instead of left-aligned. Fixed.

v18.50.0002 - 2017-10-06 15:39
    + SC tab enhanced: The operation "get" got a new data parameter "index":
        text tab("get", "index", [index], [ID]); //return index
      Returns the index of the tab referred to by index (or by ID which makes a 
      little more sense). The smallest possible index is 1 and refers to the 
      leftmost tab.
      Example:
        echo tab('get', 'index', , 22); //index of tab with ID 22
        echo tab('get', 'index', -1);   //index of the right-most tab (= tab count)
    + Links: Now the target folder is auto-scrolled to top in the tree. Scroll 
      margin is honored (Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability | 
      Scroll margin).
    * Action Log: Can be closed with ESC key now.
    ! Undo Delete: Error 9 when undoing a backgrounded deletion (since about 3 
      weeks ago). Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0120.

      remembered between sessions.

v18.50.0004 - 2017-10-08 12:57
    + Variable <get trigger> enhanced: Now it can return the combined shift 
      button value at the moment the last popup menu item was clicked. To return 
      this info set the "mode" parameter to "menushift".
      Syntax: <get trigger [mode=mousebtn]>
        mode:
          menushift:  Returns combined shift button value at the moment the last 
                      popup menu item was clicked.
                      The Shift keys have the following values that can be 
                      combined in a bit field:
                        Shift = 1
                        Ctrl  = 2
                        Alt   = 4  (rather theoretical since Alt will kill any popup menus)
      Note:
        The value is never reset within the running session, so you get retrieve 
        it even hours after the last menu was clicked.
      Example 1:
        echo "<get trigger menushift>"; // e.g. 3 = Ctrl+Shift was held down
                                        // e.g. 0 = no button was held down
      Example 2:
        $cmd = popupmenu("a|-|b|c");
          $menushift = get("trigger", "menushift");
          echo "Clicked Command = $cmd" . <crlf> . "Shift Buttons = $menushift";
    * Junction Target: Now in tooltips and the "Junction Target" special column 
      relative targets are shown unresolved (not translated to an absolute path).
    ! Junction Target: Would not show the Junction Target of relative symbolic 
      links. Fix #2.
    ! SC renameitem: Could fail ("Access denied") on folders if an item was 
      being previewed in the folder to be renamed. Fixed.
    ! Portable Devices: Support broken under Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators 
      Update). Fix #2.

    + Tweak SetFocusTo enhanced:
        SetFocusTo=(bit field)
                    1 = Tree > List
                    2 = Catalog > List
                    4 = Address Bar > List
                    8 = Favorite Folders > List (this one is NEW)
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Permanent startup path: Initialized to 
      the last-folder-before-close and only then to permanent startup path 
      (since 20170623). Fixed.
    ! Preview Tab and Preview Pane: An unticked PDF entry in "Previewed Formats 
      | Categories | Text Files" would overwrite a ticked entry in "Previewed 
      Formats | Categories | Office Files". Fixed.
    > FYI, Visual Filters of type "size" don't support directories, only files.

    * Configuration | Previewed Formats | Categories: Appended some typical 
      extensions to the category names to improve the interface a bit.
    ! Configuration | Thumbnails | Show thumbnails for RAW files: If untick then 
      RAW files were not excluded when "Configuration | Thumbnails | Show 
      thumbnails for non-images" was ticked. Fixed.

v18.50.0008 - 2017-10-12 18:00
    + List: Added a small vertical distance (5 pixels) between the top row 
      and the column headers (or top of control if there are no headers).
      - Looks more relaxed.
      - Better suits Win 10 themes.
      - Allows starting lasso select from above the first row.
    * List | Columns Headers: Increased their height by 1 pixel. Looks more 
      relaxed. Yep, I care for details.
    + Tree: Added a small vertical distance (5 pixels) between the top row and 
      the top of the control.
      - Looks more relaxed.
      - Fits the new list look.

    * List: Didn't like the new top distance the way it was done. Got a better 
      idea: Now the distance is only done when the list is scrolled to the top
      (or has no scrollbar at all). Feels more natural that way, and gives a cool 
      subtle snap-in effect when scrolling to the top.

v18.50.0010 - 2017-10-13 14:29
    * List | Headroom: You now get a general 2 pixels headroom in the file list 
      whether it's scrolled to top or not.
    * List: Downgraded the recent top distance property (now called Headroom) 
      to a tweak. Reason: It's probably too weird for the majority of users 
      (though I really like it).
      Example:
        ListTopHeadroom=10    //legal values: 0 - 64
      This ListTopHeadroom is applied only to the top of the list (when it's 
      totally scrolled up and has no scrollbar at all). The value is added to 
      the general headroom of 2 pixels.
    ! List | Headroom: Fixed some drawing glitches.
    * Tree | Headroom: Changed from 5 to 2 pixels.
    % Age Circles: Now scrolling the list with Age Circles on is much smoother. 
      You will note it on slow machines and/or large monitors (= high lists).

    - Removed tweak ListTopHeadroom. Ultimately there were too many 
      complications. Not worth the trouble.
    ! List: Column headers did not release mouse capture when moving the mouse 
      over to the scrollbar. Fixed.
    ! User-defined Preview Handlers: Could get confused if you had several 
      handlers defined for the same extension, and the first one was not ticked. 
      Fixed.
