v23.50.0303 - 2022-08-31 12:12
    * SC WriteFile: Added two parameters to control the position and length of the data 
      written to the file.
      Syntax: writefile(filename, data, [on_exist], [mode], [start=1], [numbytes=-1])
        start:  Start writing at this byte position.
                Defaults to 1 which is the very beginning.
                Note: Writing here is always overwriting, not inserting!
        numbytes: Write this number of bytes.
                  Defaults to -1 which means: write everything passed in the data argument.
      Example:
        writefile(, "abc", , , 3, 2); //writes "ab" at pos 3 to the currently selected file
    * Searching for Date Properties: Now the comparison got smarter. When the pattern has 
      no time part then only the day part is compared, when the pattern has no seconds 
      then only the minutes are compared. Also the pattern now can be stated in the local 
      date format, or in ISO 8601.
      Here are some Quick Search terms:
        prop:#image.datetaken:2005-06-28          //will match 2005-06-28 19:51:58 (and any other time on that day)
        prop:#image.datetaken:6/28/2005           //will match 2005-06-28 19:51:58 (and any other time on that day)
        prop:#image.datetaken:6/28/2005 07:51 PM  //will match 2005-06-28 19:51:58 (and any other second in that minute)
    ! Special Properties: On AM/PM systems the special property #image.datetaken returned 
      ISO format for PM times, and the regional format for AM times. Fixed: Now 
      #image.datetaken returns ISO format for all times, and regardless of the regional 
      date settings. This greatly simplifies handling in scripting. Example:
        echo <prop #image.DateTaken>; //returns ISO format, e.g. 2010-07-03 02:02:27
    ! Paper Folders: Duplicate items were possible due to different letter case. Fixed.

v23.50.0304 - 2022-08-31 20:01
    + Special Properties | #image.datetaken: Now it supports comparison operators (>, >=, 
      <=, >), which means you can define date ranges in your searches. Examples:
        prop:#image.datetaken: >= 4/9/2007    //match all photos taken on or after that date
        prop:#image.datetaken: <= 4/9/2012    //match all photos taken on or before that date
        //match all photos taken between those two dates:
        prop:#image.datetaken: >= 4/9/2007 AND prop:#image.datetaken: <= 4/9/2012
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Custom items in 
      shell context menu: Now the descriptions that appear in the status bar when you 
      hover over the menu items are shown with the first letter in upper case and with a 
      trailing period.

    ! Thumbnails: Error 13 (Type mismatch) possible. Reasons still vague. Might be fixed. 
      If not then the next error message will help.
    ! Locked Mini Tree: Under certain conditions the startup path could become part of a 
      locked Mini Tree. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort filenames by base: If ticked 
      the sort order of folders and files with the same base could be undefined (almost 
      chaotic). Fixed.

v23.60.0001 - 2022-09-05 11:13
    + File Attributes: Added 4 new file attributes to the attributes that can be shown in 
      the "Attr" column, and filtered/searched using the "attr:" and "attrlist:" selectors, 
      and returned by <prop #attr>.
          Nick Name     Full Name                         Value       Letter
        - Integrity     FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INTEGRITY_STREAM   0x8000      M
        - Virtual       FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL            0x10000     V
        - NoScrub       FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NO_SCRUB_DATA      0x20000     X
        - RecallOpen    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_OPEN     0x40000     K
      Note that these new attributes are NOT shown on the Properties tab or on the 
      Attributes tab (Find Files). There is no space left. Nevertheless they can be used 
      in filters and searches. For example, (Visual Filters, Color Filters, Quick Search):
        attr:K               = RecallOpen attribute set
        attrlist:KUL         = RecallOpen AND Unpinned AND Recall attribute set
    * Hover Box: Now it will attempt to show the textual contents of any file that appears 
      to be a text file, regardless of the file name.
    % Tree and List: Now you can activate the app (bring it to the foreground) by 
      clicking onto selected item *without* triggering a slow double-click (which usually 
      opens the inline rename box). Solution #2. Better.
    ! Special Properties | #image.datetaken: A Boolean expression like this:
        prop:#image.datetaken: >= 4/9/2007 AND prop:#image.datetaken: <= 4/9/2012 
      ... could fail with error 13 (Type Mismatch). Fixed.

    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0198.
    ! Paper Folders: Visual glitch after info bar context menu call. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: After canceling a single-item job at the overwrite prompt, the final 
      dialog reported "Custom Copy Completed" instead of "Custom Copy Canceled". Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: If you have a tagged file and you move it and there is a collision, if 
      you apply one of the affix/suffixes in the dialog, the tags still get moved over to 
      the original destination filename. Since 20211127. Fixed.

v23.60.0003 - 2022-09-06 19:43
    * SC delete: Now it behaves like pressing DEL on Paper Folders. When the List is a 
      showing Paper Folder and "On Delete Remove Items from Paper Folder" is ON these will 
      behave like pressing DEL now and remove the selected items from the Paper Folder, 
      not from the file system:
        delete 1, 1, ":list"; //with prompt
        delete 1, 0, ":list"; //without prompt
      If the List has the focus, it also work without the ":list" argument:
        delete 1, 1; //with prompt
        delete 1, 0; //without prompt
    + SC confirm enhanced. Now you can specify the icon in the buttons parameter (now 
      called buttons_icons). The same is already supported by SC msg.
      Syntax: confirm(text, [linebreaker="
"], [default_button=1], [buttons_icons=1])
        buttons_icons: (bit field)
          Defines what buttons and icons to show in the dialog:
          0: [Default] Only one button, "Ok".
          1: Two buttons, "Ok" and "Cancel". 
             When you press "Cancel", the script execution will end there 
             (useful for confirmations).
          16: Critical
          32: [Default] Question
          48: Exclamation (sic: 16 + 32, MS invented that)
          64: Information
      Example:
        echo confirm("Click Yes if you like this dialog.", , , 4+64);
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Main Contents: Fonts like "Segoe UI 
      Semibold" could not be preselected, it only worked for the weights "Regular" and 
      "Bold". Fixed.

    + Floating Preview: The right-click menu of the Floating Preview's status 
      bar now has a toggle "Place Status Bar Over Image". If ticked the image preview is 
      not shrunk/moved upwards anymore to make space for the status bar. Logically the 
      bottom of large previews will be convered by the status bar.
    ! SC confirm: Since yesterday the return was always 0 (zero). Fixed.

v23.60.0005 - 2022-09-07 21:47
    + Native Variables: Added <curvers> and <srcvers> to return the so-called "string file 
      version" (eg "23.60.0005") as opposed to <curver> and <srcver> which return the 
      so-called "fixed file version" (eg "23.60.0.5").
    + Live Filter Box: Now when the filter is removed, the last scroll position of the 
      unfiltered list is restored (it's even remembered across tab switches and sessions). 
      Exception: If an item is focused AND selected at the moment the filter is removed, 
      that item will be scrolled into view.
    ! Live Filter Box: Under certain conditions a random item in a freshly live-filtered 
      list was auto-selected. Fixed: No more auto-selections here, unless you tick 
      Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | 
      Auto-select first match.

    + SC selectitems enhanced. Now you can toggle the selection state of the items.
      Syntax: selectitems itemlist, [flags], [focusfirst=1], [mode], [pane]
        mode:
          n: [Default] New selection (drop current selections).
          a: Add the matches to any current selections.
          r: Remove the matches from any current selections.
          t: Toggle the selection state of the matches.         <----- NEW
      Examples:
        selectitems "test.txt", 3:=t;
        selectitems "<clipboard>", 3:=t;
    * Live Filter Box: Now when a list is filtered and no items are selected and 
      "Auto-select first match" is off then the first item gets the focus. Previously, it 
      was some random item (depending on which item has the focus in the list before this 
      filter).
    * Tabsets: Now when you (re)open the tabset that's currently in use in this pane, then 
      it is reverted to its saved state without further questions. I think this is the 
      expected behavior. Previously, this move just resulted in a status bar message 
      "tabset already opened".
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0199.
    ! List: Click on empty while context menu was showing did not deselect the current 
      selections anymore (since v23.60.0001). Fixed.

v23.60.0007 - 2022-09-09 11:49
    + Custom Event Actions (CEA): Similar to <newpath> there is now a new variable 
      <oldpath> that can be used in a CEA script on changing locations.
    + SC selfilter enhanced: Now it can also remove items from the current selection, and 
      toggle the current selection state. The parameter "add" is now called "mode", and in 
      analogy to SC selectitems it also accepts letters as alternative to numbers.
      Syntax: selfilter [pattern], [type (f|d)], [column], [mode], [flags]
        mode:
          0,n: [Default] New selection (drop current selections).
          1,a: Add the matches to any current selections.
          2,r: Remove the matches from any current selections.    <----- NEW
          3,t: Toggle the selection state of the matches.         <----- NEW
      Example:
        selfilter "*.jpg", 3:=r;  //remove all JPG files from the current selection
        selfilter "*.jpg", 3:=2;  //same
        selfilter "o*", 3:=t;     //toggle the selection state of all items starting with "o"
        selfilter "o*", 3:=3;     //same
    + SC get got a new named argument "itemspathnamesslashed". Identical to 
      "itemspathnames" but returned folders come with a trailing backslash.
      Syntax 1: get("itemspathnamesslashed", [separator=CRLF], [pane])
      Syntax 1: <get itemspathnamesslashed [separator=CRLF] [pane]>
      Examples:
        echo get("itemspathnamesslashed");
        text <get itemspathnamesslashed |>;
    * Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | Clicking on Line Numbers 
      | Left-click on line number: Doesn't wait on possible dbl-click anymore since 
      v22.60.0007 - 2021-12-14 14:06. But now I think it should wait IF a dbl-click
      action (Double-click on line number) is defined. Changed it like this.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips: For 
      certain rare EXE files attempting to retrieve the bitness resulted in a full app 
      crash. Fixed.

    * List: Focusing the list by clicking one of many selected items now preserves that 
      multiple selection. Previously only the clicked element was selected, the other 
      selections were lost. The new behavior is broadly the same as in File Explorer.
    ! Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | Clicking on Line Numbers | 
      Double-click on line number: The "Like White" action was not processed correctly 
      when "Left-click on line number" was not "None". Fixed.

v23.60.0009 - 2022-09-11 15:11
    * Main Window: Changed the TAB sequence:
      OLD: Tree > Catalog > List 1 > List 2 > Live Filter Box > Address Bar
      NEW: Tree > List 1 > List 2 > Live Filter Box > Catalog > Address Bar
    * SC property: The return format of <prop #Attr> was controlled by the style of the 
      Attr column. Not anymore. It's now always in narrow style (not DOS style).
    + SC property: If you want DOS style you can use the new property #AttrDOS. Also added 
      #AttrDec (decimal value) and #AttrHex (hexadecimal value):
        echo <prop #Attr>;    //RATOI
        echo <prop #AttrDOS>; //R---A-T--OI--------
        echo <prop #AttrDec>; //12577
        echo <prop #AttrHex>; //0x00003121
    * List | Attr Column, Special Property #Attr: Two letters had to be changed (actually 
      swapped):
        - FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT is now "L". It was "J" (for "Junction") before but 
          "L" appears to be the standard (for "Link" probably).
        - As a consequence, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_DATA_ACCESS cannot be "L" anymore, so 
          I gave the "J" to it. There is no information about any standard available.
    > FYI, in Win 10 it looks like "<prop Attrib>" returns the "L" attribute also for 
      items that are below a junction folder (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT) without having 
      that attribute themselves. XYplorer's native <prop #Attr> doesn't do this.
    * List: Clicking the list while a main menu item is opened now just results in closing 
      that menu item. No selections in the list are changed.
      In accordance with File Explorer, this is different when this menu is a context menu 
      of the list. Then the click will change the current selections.
