    ! Find Files: Auto-syncing the find location box did not work for startup 
      paths passed by command line. Fixed.
    ! Tabs: The fixes in v18.60.0006 only applied to the Mini Tree. Now it's 
      also fixed for the Maxi Tree.

v18.60.0008 - 2018-01-04 13:27
    % Custom Copy: Attempt to improve the estimation of the remaining time.
    ! Quick Audio Preview: Little drawing glitch with fonts that have variable 
      digit widths. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: With "On name collisions" set to "Suffix increment to 
      existing" or "Affix current date to existing" or "Affix modified date to 
      existing" (all 3 result in a rename of the source file) the copy did not 
      happen when source and target file were identical, i.e. when you attempted 
      to duplicate a file in the original location. Just the rename happened.
      Fixed. Now the file is first renamed, then the renamed file copied back to 
      its original name.
    ! Rename: Since Win8 mapped drives cannot be renamed anymore (i.e. the 
      previous method stopped working and nothing else is in sight). But you 
      still could enter rename mode. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0122.

v18.60.0009 - 2018-01-04 20:55
    * Custom Copy: I always found it a bit off-putting that, if only one item 
      was copied/moved, the final dialog did not show the filename of that one 
      copied/moved/skipped file. Now it does.
    % Custom Copy: Estimation of the remaining time is now only shown from 25% 
      of total bytes and 100 files onwards. Earlier guessing simply doesn't cut 
      it.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0123.

v18.60.0010 - 2018-01-05 23:27
    + Folder Thumbs: Now you can tweak the background coloring of folder 
      thumbnails. It's a vertical gradient, the 1st color is the top, the 2nd 
      color is the bottom. This e.g. would be a light grey gradient:
        clrFolderThumbs1=15461355
        clrFolderThumbs2=15132390
      Those numbers are color decimals.
      Tip: To convert HTML #RRGGBB colors to color decimals use this formula:
        echo 0xBBGGRR;
      If both of those values are 0 then the default colors are used (the crass 
      traditional yellow).
    % Custom Copy: Estimation of the remaining time improved.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0124.

v18.60.0011 - 2018-01-06 15:51
    + Help | List All Commands...: In this list (and other lists where TAB 
      characters are used to create columns) the right-click menu now offers 
      commands to copy the individual columns to the clipboard.
      Example:
        Copy Column: #101
        Copy Column: File | To Clipboard | Item Path/Name(s)
        Copy Column: (Ctrl+P)
    + Help: Added tweak to specifiy a custom help file to use instead of the 
      default "<xypath>\XYplorer.chm". Can be used to for translated versions of 
      the help.
      State the full path to the custom help file, or relative to app path, e.g.:
        HelpFileCustom=XYplorer_ru.chm
    > Tip: This script will return the current help file full path:
        echo get("help");
    + Folder Thumbs: Added another key to specify a border color for the folder 
      thumbnail background. Looks a bit better with a light border IMO.
        clrFolderThumbsBorder=14737632
      It's only used when it's not 0 (zero) AND when the background coloring 
      tweak is used as well (clrFolderThumbs1, clrFolderThumbs2).
    * Tabs: Now a start path passed by command line will try to reuse any 
      existing tab that already points to that path. Unless "Configuration | 
      Startup & Exit | Open command line start path in new tab" is ticked, of 
      course.
    ! Auto-Refresh: Would auto-refresh the list after a completed file operation 
      even if "Auto-Refresh" was off or "Suspend Auto-Refresh" was on. Fixed.

v18.60.0012 - 2018-01-06 20:17
    ! Auto-Refresh: Auto-Refresh is auto-suspended while a deletion is going on 
      since v13.60.0011 - 2014-01-15 14:42. But since 20170914 the suspended 
      state was not undone anymore afterwards. Fixed.
    ! Auto-Refresh: The fix in v18.60.0011 had a little side-effect: deletions 
      not auto-refreshed. Fixed.

v18.60.0014 - 2018-01-08 18:36
    ! Custom Copy: In a Rich Copy situation (source files are from multiple 
      locations, some of them have the same name), and you decline to perform a 
      Rich Copy, and you configured any collisions to "Affix last modified date 
      to existing", the latter would not have happened successfully if the 
      target folder was completely empty. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0125.
    * Updated the help file.

v18.60.0101 - 2018-01-09 15:17
    * Scripting: Since v16.80.0006 - 2016-05-25 13:35 you had to quote XY-native 
      variables if they contained any dots (to prevent that the dots were treated
      as string concatenators). From now on this is not necessary anymore. Dots 
      inside XY-native variables are not treated as string concatenators (and 
      hence cannot be used as string concatenators here!) anymore.
      So this works now as expected:
        echo <date hh:nn:ss.fff>;
        echo <prop #audio.bitrate>;
      But quoting them works as well, of course:
        echo "<date hh:nn:ss.fff>";
        echo "<prop #audio.bitrate>";
     * Scripting: Experimentally you now can use script variables inside native 
       variables, for example:
         $ms = "fff"; echo <date hh:nn:ss.$ms>;
         $g = "genericfiletype"; echo  <get $g '{:Image}'>;
       But remember that the dot as string concatenator does NOT work here. So 
       this will NOT work:
         $g1 = "generic"; $g2 = "filetype"; echo  <get $g1.$g2 '{:Image}'>;

    * Status Bar: Changed warning text red color to a more readable darker red.
    ! Scripting: The recent change to allow literal dots in unquoted XY-native 
      variables was not yet perfectly implemented. These examples did not work:
        echo "now: " . <date hh:nn:ss.fff>;
        $ms = "fff"; echo "now: " . <date hh:nn:ss.$ms>;
      Fixed. Now they do.

v18.60.0103 - 2018-01-12 21:47
    + Type Ahead Find: Now it handles non-Latin keyboards that generate all 
      sorts of Unicode characters.
    ! Undo: After using Drop Context Menu's "Create Folder(s) Here" and "Create 
      Branch(es) Here" with identical source and target folder, Undo would 
      remove the source folder instead of the target folder. Fixed.
    % Also improved the caption of those actions in the Action Log.

v18.60.0104 - 2018-01-15 18:03
    ! Info Panel | Properties | Date Fields: For some reason this feature 
      (v15.50.0005 - 2015-08-02 19:39) had stopped working:
        When stamping the file dates (via click into the date fields) you now can 
        call the Date Picker by pressing F1.
      Fixed. Works again.
      Also in the two date fields near the Date Picker button on "Info Panel | 
      Find Files | Date" you can now use F1 to pop the picker.
    ! Quick Search with Branch View: The List showed "Find Files" instead of 
      "Quick Search" in the embedded information bar when the search pattern 
      consisted of one or more spaces only. Fixed.
    ! Quick Search with Branch View: Space substitution character was shown when 
      it shouldn't. Fixed.

v18.60.0105 - 2018-01-16 20:57
    + Hover Box: Now it supports CUR files (cursors).
    + Mouse Down Blow Up: Better support for cursors.
    * Mouse Pointers: Updated the shape of the arrow to the modern shape. It 
      still had the old Win95 shape (a bit longer and narrower).
      You will see those pointers only when dragging stuff AND when 
      "Configuration | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Use standard shell 
      drag and drop" is OFF.

v18.60.0106 - 2018-01-17 14:24
    ! Scripting: The change in v18.60.0102 - 2018-01-10 15:59 had an undesired 
      side effect on parsing. For example, this did not work anymore:
        text quicksearch(quote("te" . "st.txt") . " /n", "E:\TEST");
      Fixed.
      BTW, I managed to keep the gains of the original change intact, so this 
      works now as well:
        text quicksearch(quote("te" . "st.txt") . " /n", "E:\TEST") . " -- Now: " . <date hh:nn:ss.fff>;
      A parsing miracle!
