v24.60.0101 - 2023-07-15 19:27
    % Document Preview: Some MSG preview handlers steal the application focus. Now XY 
      steals it back, even when the preview uses a user-defined preview handler.
    ! SC base64decode: Didn't handle all inputs correctly. Fixed.
      For example, this didn't work correctly before; now it does:
        echo base64decode(base64encode("ÄÖÜäöüß"));

    % Startup: Now it is ensured that the upper left corner of the main window is visible 
      and that at least 256 pixels in width and height are visible, no matter which 
      monitor in your multi-monitor setup has been turned off since the last session.
    ! File | Duplicate | Copy Here As...: Since 20230116, Ctrl+Arrow selection used 
      path components instead of words. Fixed.      
    ! SC vartype: Incorrectly returned "string" for array elements where the array existed 
      but not the key. Fixed.
    ! SC isset: Incorrectly returned 1 (true) for array elements where the array existed 
      but not the key. Fixed.

v24.60.0103 - 2023-07-17 14:00
    + Document Preview: Added tweak to customize the Focus Steal Fix.
        PreviewDocsFocusStealFixExt=msg
      By factory default (and for upgraders) it's set to "msg" (quotes are optional), but 
      you now can set it, for example, to "msg.pdf" if your PDF preview handler steals the 
      focus as well, or to "" if you don't need the fix.
    % Portable Devices: When copying items from a portable device to another location, the 
      pre-processing is now much faster (by a factor of 5 to 10).
    % Tabs: Enhanced the X-close button push effect (darkened color).
    ! Tabs: Moving the mouse over X-close did not react correctly on resolutions > 100% 
      (target area was wrongly calculated). Fixed.
    ! Tabs: Moving the mouse between X-close and tab caption caused a flicker on Win10 
      (and probably later), curiously not on Win8. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: The OneDrive icon in the drop-down list was replaced with a "?" icon if 
      the name contained a " - " sequence, e.g. "OneDrive - Personal". Fixed.

v24.60.0104 - 2023-07-18 12:52
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: VarName
      Action: Returns the name of a variable. If called in a user function it returns the 
              original name of the variable in the calling scope.
      Syntax: varname(variable, [flags])
        variable: Variable, e.g. $a or $a[0].
        flags (bit field):
                  0: As passed [Default].
                  1: Strip any array index.
                  2: In calling scope.
        return:   The variable name depending on the flags.
      Remarks:
        Flags bit 2 falls back to the current name if there is no calling scope.
      Example:
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
        // get the name of a variable in the calling scope
           $a[0] = "foo";
           // nothing special here; no caller, so varname() falls back to the current name
           echo varname($a[0], 2) . " = " . $a[0];  //$a = foo
           // go down to a user function
           godowntowork($a[0]);
           
        function godowntowork($var) {
           echo '$var' . " = " . $var;  //$var = foo
           // here's the interesting part; varname() returns the original name in the calling scope
           echo varname($var, 2) . " = " . $var;  //$a[0] = foo
           echo "Array name in caller: " . varname($var, 3); //$a
        }
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    + Scripting commands setting/settingp enhanced: New named argument "playeventsounds" 
      to temporarily enable/disable playing event sounds (Configuration | General | 
      Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Play a sound on certain events).
      Example:
        setting "playeventsounds", 0; //disable playing event sounds

v24.60.0105 - 2023-07-19 12:47
    + SC self got a new value "level" for the "info" parameter, and a new parameter "level".
      Syntax: self(info, [level])
        info:
          level: return the level (1 = top level)
        level: 
          0 = self [Default]
          1 = 1st level (top level)
          2 = 2nd level, etc
         -1 = caller of self (one level up)
         -2 = caller of caller of self (two levels up), etc
      Remarks:
        If the desired level does not exist the function returns nothing (no error 
        message).
      Example:
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
        // test SC self
           echo self("level");  //self level (1 = top level)
           // go down to a user function
           godowntowork1();
           
        function godowntowork1() {
           echo self("level");  //self level (1 = top level)
           godowntowork2();
        }
        function godowntowork2() {
           echo self("level");  //self level (1 = top level)
           echo self("script");  //self
           echo self("script", -1); //caller (one level up)
           echo self("script", -2); //caller of caller (two levels up)
           echo self("script", 1);  //1st level
           echo self("script", 2);  //2nd level
           echo self("script", 3);  //3rd level
           echo self("script", 4);  //4th level -- returns nothing here
        }

    + SC focus got new parameters.
      Syntax: focus [control (L|A|T|C|P1|P2|PI|LFB|PP|FP|XY)]
        control:
          PP: Preview Pane
          FP: Floating Preview window
          XY: XYplorer window
      Remarks:
        PP does not do much apart from taking the focus away from wherever it is now 
        because the actual preview is contained in a child of the preview pane which at 
        the moment cannot be focused.
      Examples:
        focus "FP"; //focus Floating Preview window (nothing happens if there is none)
        focus "FP"; wait 500; focus "XY"; wait 500; focus "FP"; //disco
    * XY64ctxmenu: Updated to 1.3.0. This version should get rid of the AHK message "Could 
      not close the previous instance of this script. Keep waiting?" that some users were 
      getting.

    * View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views...: Now the dialog will 
      automatically reopen when you're done with the Edit Folder View dialog you opened 
      from there.
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Configuration | Information | Tags | Auto-refresh tags: If enabled then tags were 
      not always copied from source to target item if that target item had been deleted 
      before within the same session. Well, actually they were copied, but only visible 
      after the next restart because of a DB corruption. Fixed.

    ! Address Bar: Using * as a wildcard in locations stopped working, probably on 
      20211010. Fixed.
      First match (alphabetically) wins, for example (your results might differ, it all 
      depends on the actually existing paths):
        C:\Program*             -->  C:\Program Files

    + Hover Box: You can now copy an image of the current Hover Box contents to the 
      clipboard by pressing the "C" key.
        C: Copy an image of the current Hover Box contents to the clipboard. The status 
           area is not included. The size is exactly the same as in the Hover Box.
      Note that not only images, but also text, PDF previews, archive listings, folder 
      listings, etc. can be copied to the clipboard this way. Nice.
    + Preview Tab / Preview Pane | Context Menu: Added the new toggle "Close Preview by 
      ESC". Tick it to make the ESC key close the current preview.
    + SC savethumb: Now you can use the clipboard as image source by passing the special 
      string <clipimg> in the "file" parameter.
      Syntax: savethumb([file=<curitem>], [thumbnail_file="*_thumb"], [widthbox], [heightbox], _
                  [format="jpg"], [border_width], [flags], [transparency=2], [color_canvas])
        file: [optional] The name of the source file.
              Defaults to the current list item.
              Can be any format that has a thumbnail image (including video files). 
              Set to <clipimg> to use the current image in the clipboard.
      Examples:
        savethumb(<clipimg>, "clipboardimage", "100%", , "jpg"); //save as JPG, full size
        savethumb(<clipimg>, "clipboardimage", "50%", , "png"); //save as PNG, half size
    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Tree icons were not always refreshed for special paths. 
      Fixed.

    % Address Bar: Win10 and later became much slower than previous versions of Windows in 
      certain areas of drawing graphics. One particular context where this became very 
      noticeable was the address bar dropdown at 125% when it contained many scripts 
      (drawing the script icon was the problem). I have now worked around this to make it 
      much faster.
    ! Multiline Message Boxes: Double-clicking on the first/last word in a line also 
      selected the adjacent word on the previous/next line. Fixed.

    + Info Panel | Raw View | Orange Button Menu: Added toggle "Resolve Links". Tick it to 
      raw view the targets of LNK files. Untick it to raw view the LNK files themselves. 
      Previously, raw viewing the targets was hardcoded.
    ! Quick Select (>>>): Did not support " " as separator (Boolean OR) alternative to 
      "|". Fixed. Now it's consistent with the Spot marker >>. For example, this will 
      select all files in the current list containing either pay or back:
        >>>pay back
      This will highlight those strings in the filenames:
        >>pay back

v24.60.0115 - 2023-07-22 20:14
    + Thumbnails: Added toggle "Zoom to Fit" to enlarge smaller originals as much as the 
      current thumbnail size will allow. For example, in the default Large Tiles view, a 
      16x16 icon is then displayed in 192x192 monster size.
      The toggle is currently found only in the context menu of various views related 
      toolbar buttons, eg "Details View" or "Dark Mode". It is only visible in that menu 
      if the list is currently in a Thumbnails or a Tiles view.
      Notes:
      - If the setting is toggled the current thumbnails are all refreshed. This can 
        be optimized later (to refresh only those that actually can zoom to fit).
      - If the original is at least 4 times smaller (in any dimension) than the thumbnail 
        or the original is <= 32x32, it will be resized without anti-aliasing (the same 
        rule has been used elsewhere in the application for many years), so you can really 
        see the fat pixels of your little icons. With anti-aliasing it would just look 
        awful.
      - Hover Box and MDBU work normally. Of course, now they are smaller than the 
        thumbnail.
      - If you rather want to tweak it for whatever reason, this is the key:
        ThumbsZoomToFit=1

    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails: Added option "Zoom to fit". Tick it enlarge 
      smaller originals as much as the current thumbnail size will allow (no cropping).
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced: Added field "ZoomToFit" to the "settings" argument:
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding,Transparency, _
                  ShowIcon,ShowDimensions,OverlayCaption,FolderThumbs,ZoomToFit"], [separator=","])
        settings:
          ZoomToFit: 0 or 1 or ! (toggle 0/1)
                    = Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Zoom to fit
      Example:
        thumbsconf(",,,,,,,,,!"); //toggle ZoomToFit
    % Thumbnails | Zoom to Fit: Now when toggling the setting, only those thumbnails are 
      updated that can actually be zoomed to fit. And it's only done while painting, the 
      thumbnail cache in memory and on disk is not touched. So it's lightning fast now.

      Of course, if the original image is larger than the Hover Box there will be no
