    ! SC freshhere: Using it on a Virtual Folder led to mayhem including a crash. Fixed. 
      Now it will use the common real path of that virtual folder. And even if there is 
      none, the crash won't happen anymore.
    ! Scripting | Arrays: Global associative arrays with variables as indices were not 
      correctly processed in certain contexts. Fixed.

v24.20.0101 - 2023-03-12 15:02
    * Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Renamed "Office Files" to 
      "Document Files" here and everywhere else in the GUI.
      - Some related INI keys (PreviewOffice, NoPrevOffice, OfficePreviewCustomExtensions, 
        ShowHoverBoxOffice) remain as they were for backward compatibility.
      - The generic file type {:Office} is kept alongside "{:Document}" for backward 
        compatibility. Since it's deprecated now, you should use "{:Document}" instead.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.162.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.162.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:
        https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9648
    - Removed the following menu commands because they are pointless in today's Windows:
      - Favorites | Special System Folders | Start Menu
      - Favorites | Special System Folders | Start Menu (All Users)
    ! SC runret: Under certain regional settings there was a conversion issue with CP_UTF8 
      (65001) and Unicode characters in the listed item names, for example:
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir E:\Path-to-Test", , 65001);

v24.20.0102 - 2023-03-13 12:09
    + Help | Online Support: Added command "Quick Start Guide". Goes to
      https://www.xyplorer.com/quickstart.php where the newbie is shown how to unleash the 
      power of XY.
    > SC runret: Added some alternate routes to the output, flags bit 4 and 8.
    ! Time-Stamping: Since time-stamping ensures that the archive bit is set (v23.80.0207 
      - 2022-12-15 10:57), any read-only bit in the stamped file has been lost. Fixed.
    ! SC runret: The recent fix made things only worse. Undone.
    ! Virtual Folders: Lost scroll position and selection on an auto-refresh (under 
      certain conditions). Fixed.
    ! Virtual Folders: A script _goto "vi:<pick>";_ could throw a "<path> could not be 
      accessed" error msg. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: User functions in UTF-8-encoded include files were not UTF-8-decoded. Fixed.

    + SC load: If the load command is within a loaded script file, you now can omit the 
      path of the loaded file. If will default to the path of the containing script file.
        load "test.xys";
      This is probably a bug fix because it was always meant to be like this. It is 
      perfectly natural and allows you to move the parent script and loaded file together 
      without any adjustments.
    > SC runret: Added another alternate route to the output, flags 24.

    * SC runret: Major rewrite. Should support Unicode characters now regardless of the 
      regional settings.
      All the recent debug flags were removed, just call it plain like this:
        text runret("cmd /c dir c:\"); //ANSI
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir E:\Path-to-Test", , 65001); //UTF-8

v24.20.0106 - 2023-03-14 11:45
    ! Refresh after Delete: In the Chinese locale these two files are seen as differently 
      named (and they are: it's the parentheses that are different) but Windows sees them 
      as same-named when looking at them case-insensitively:
        Hello(XYP).txt
        Hello（XYP）.txt
      One effect was: If you deleted one of them the other one disappeared from the file 
      list as well (but luckily not from the file system). This should be fixed now.
    ! Virtual Folders: Since v24.20.0102 - 2023-03-13 12:09 VFOs with dynamic definitions 
      (eg <pick 8.m ...>) were not correctly updated anymore after file operations. Fixed.
    ! Autosize Columns: Since 20230304 the columns turned out 2 pixels too narrow in List 
      and Small Icons views. Fixed.

    % Portable Devices: Expanding tree nodes with many subnodes should be notably faster 
      now.
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      Changing the setting did not trigger an immediate repaint of the list which should 
      be done now due to recent changes in this feature. Fixed.
    ! Tree: Error 9 with full CRASH was possible when switching between Maxi and Mini 
      Tree, and also on auto-refreshing a tree, both under certain other conditions.

    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Image preview | Limit original preview size: 
      Reduced the factory default from 2000 to 1600. Experiments showed that 1600 x 1600 
      is still blindingly fast whereas from 1601 x 1601 onwards things slow down 
      dramatically. A little glimpse into the black box ShellImageFactory.
      Note that this setting also affects huge JPEGs that are "Previewed as thumbnail" 
      (which means: previewed by the ShellImageFactory) because other methods failed.      
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Title Bar: Native variables like 
      <curfolder> were internally updated only *after* the title bar was written and hence 
      always resolved to the *previous* location. Fixed. Now the title bar is written 
      again after the list work is completed.
