    + SC get got a new named argument "thumbnailprovider". Rather for debugging 
      purposes (but who knows) this is a way to quickly retrieve the GUID, 
      Standard value, and DisplayName of the default thumbnail provider associated 
      with a given extension. The information is retrieved from the registry.
      
      Syntax: get("thumbnailprovider", extension, separator=CRLF)
        extension:  [required] any registered file extension
        separator:  separator between GUID, Standard, and DisplayName in the 
                    returned string
        return:     GUID,separator,Standard,separator,DisplayName
                    Nothing if no thumbnailprovider is found.
      Example:
        text get("thumbnailprovider", "webp");
      The return might look like this:
        GUID: {C5AEC3EC-E812-4677-A9A7-4FEE1F9AA000}
        DefaultName: Icaros Thumbnail Provider

    ! Configuration | Information | Tags | Copy tags on copy operations: This 
      did not fully work for tagged items inside copied folders. An interesting 
      recursion issue caused that only about the first half of the tags were 
      copied. Fixed. Cool side effect: Such operations are faster now.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
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.

      clipboard and copy operations from Portable Devices.

v20.30.0002 - 2019-08-15 16:34
    + SC ID3Tag enhanced: Now you can force it to return ID3v1 tags only.
      Syntax: id3tag([file], [tagslist], [separator="|"], [flags])
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Return ID3v1 tags even if ID3v2 tags are present.
              Otherwise ID3v2 tags are returned even if ID3v1 tags are present.
      Examples:
        text id3tag();      //just return the ID3v1 (or ID3v2 if present) tags of the current file
        text id3tag(3:=1);  ///just return the ID3v1 tags (even if ID3v2 tags are present)
    ! Dark Mode: The MP3 info fields on Info Panel | Preview got the wrong 
      background color in Dark Mode. Fixed.
    ! Folder View Settings: After renaming a folder any Folder View Settings 
      assigned to it where lost, i.e. the path was not auto-updated in FVS 
      memory and in the FVS database (fvs.dat). Fixed.

      List". It's a copy of the command "View | Refresh List" (Ctrl+F5). 
      Explorer has it too in that place so it might be expected and welcome.

    * Configuration | Information | Tags | Coloring style: If set to Whole Row 
      then the Label's background color now fills the whole column cell in views 
      List and Small Icons.
    ! Custom Columns: A certain if rare combination of commands in a Custom Column 
      defining script could lead to an undesired internal recursion resulting in 
      a crash. Fixed.
    ! Custom Columns: Another combination of commands in a Custom Column 
      defining script could lead to a bizarre refresh confusion in a Dual Pane 
      setup where files were listed in the wrong pane. Gosh. Fixed.
    ! SC wait: Returned error "Invalid parameter" when omitting the optional 
      msecs parameter. Fixed. Now this works as expected:
        wait; //minimal yield to the OS
    ! SC inputselect: Did not return the full path of file items when style 2048 
      (Show file items without the path) was combined with style 2 (checkboxes). 
      Fixed.

v20.30.0007 - 2019-08-24 19:24
    + Added tweak to control the Flexible Status Bar feature (v19.80.0120 - 
      2019-03-25 18:44).
        StatusBarFlexyWidth=1
      Factory default and previously hard-coded value is 1. So now you can turn 
      it off. Might raise it to UI later.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Create all thumbnails at once: Now 
      the Status Bar shows the current index and total number of files while 
      thumbnails are being created, e.g.:
        creating thumb 5/123: blah.jpg

v20.30.0008 - 2019-08-25 14:51
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: Dark
      Action: Toggles Dark Mode.
      Syntax: dark [enable=-1], [darkness=-1], [darkcontrast=-1], [darkadaptive=-1]      
        enable         Turn Dark Mode on or off
                       -2 = toggle
                       -1 [default] = keep current setting
                       0 = off
                       1 = on
        darkness       Level of darkness
                       A number from 0 to 50 (factory default is 25)
                       -1 [default] = keep current setting
        darkcontrast   Text contrast in Dark Mode
                       A number from 0 to 30 (factory default is 15)
        darkadaptive   Turn the Dark Adaptive mode on or off (see Remarks)
                       -2 = toggle
                       -1 [default] = keep current setting
                       0 = off
                       1 = on
      Remarks:
        The Dark Adaptive mode makes custom colors a bit less bright in Dark Mode 
        and thus easier to the eye.
      Examples:
        dark 1;         // enable dark mode
        dark 0;         // disable dark mode
        dark -2         // toggle dark mode
        dark 1, 25, 15; // enable dark mode and set darkness level=25, text contrast=15
        dark 3:=-2;     // toggle DarkAdaptive
        dark 3:=0;      // set DarkAdaptive=0
        dark 3:=1;      // set DarkAdaptive=1
        dark 1, , , 1;  // enable dark mode and DarkAdaptive tweak
        dark 1, 3:=1;   // same as above  
    + SC get got two new named arguments, "darkness" and "darkcontrast". The 
      first returns the value of "Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & 
      Dark Mode | Dark mode | Level of darkness (0 is darkest)", the second the 
      value of "Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Dark 
      mode | Text contrast".
        echo get("darkness");
        echo get("darkcontrast");
    + Previewed Formats: Added DSD and DSF files (Sony's DSD Stream File) to the 
      previewed audio files. Note that this format is ID3V2 compliant and XY 
      will show the tags in the Preview Panel and in the MP3 columns.
      Of course, you will need a CODEC installed to actually preview these 
      files.
    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Select last used 
      subfolder: Didn't work inside HIDDEN folders if "Show hidden files and 
      folders" was off. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length 
      while renaming: If ticked then the filename's base was not auto-selected 
      when the caption was wider than the list view and had to be internally 
      moved to the left to make the right end visible. Fixed.

    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: OutputFile
      Action: Lets you select a location for a file via the Windows Save As 
              common dialog.
      Syntax: outputfile([path], [file], [caption])
        path      The default path for the dialog. When left empty or non-existent, 
                  path defaults to the current path. In the latter case you are 
                  prompted whether to continue the script.
                  With or without trailing slash, it does not matter.
        file      Initial name of the file. Can be changed within the dialog.
        caption   The text that will be displayed as title of the window. If 
                  omitted it will be "Save As" in the local language.
        return    The full path/name of the selected existing or new file. 
      Remarks:
        - If you press Cancel, the script execution will be aborted.
        - The file is not saved, just the name is returned. Any saving has to be 
          done by a separate command.
      Examples:
        echo outputfile(,"Peace.jpg");
        echo outputfile(,"Peace.jpg", "Select Location...");
        echo outputfile("C:\Love","Peace.jpg", "Select Location...");

      breadcrumb bar" over Custom Colored Tabs from v19.90.0112 - 2019-05-16
