v11.60.0003 - 2012-09-13 10:22
    + SC tag enhanced. Now you can set a Label by name (not only by ID).
      Syntax: tag [value], [itemlist], [type=0], [tagsmode=0]
         value    = Tag value, which (depending on type) can be
                    label name or ID, tag(s), or comment.
                    If missing or 0: remove any tag of that type.
      Notes:
      - The algorithm smartly detects whether a numerical ID or a name 
        is passed as argument. Of course, if you name your labels as 
        numbers this smartness will fail.
      - The label name must exist (case-sensitive match) among the 
        current labels, else no label is set (any existing labels are 
        retained in that case) and you get an error message.
      Examples:
        tag 1; //set selected items to label #1
        tag "Green"; //set selected items to label "Green"
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name:   Exit
      Action: Exit XYplorer, optionally with restart.
      Syntax: exit [mode]
        mode: 
          [empty] = exit (= #192)
                    Saving depends on user setting in  Configuration | 
                    Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit.
          s  = exit with saving (no menu command)
          n  = exit without saving (= #191)
          sr = restart with saving (no menu command)
          nr = restart without saving (= #190)
      Examples:
        exit; //default exit, like clicking X-xlose
        exit "nr"; //restart without saving
    * Configuration | Tabs | Prompt on closing a locked tab: Now also 
      affects "Close all other tabs".
    ! Top-align if vertically cropped: Was a little too aggressive. Now 
      it only top-aligns when a new image is loaded. So you can neatly 
      toggle between a zoomed-and-panned and a total view of the current 
      image using e.g. Fit Width (W) without being thrown back to the 
      top each time.

v11.60.0004 - 2012-09-14 11:32
    + Scripting: Now, foreach loops can have a 5th argument "MsgOnEmpty" 
      where you can state an error message for the case that the 2nd 
      argument is empty. If MsgOnEmpty is given (even as empty string 
      "") the loop will not be executed at all. 
      New syntax:
        foreach($variable, ListOfTokens, [separator=|], [flags], [MsgOnEmpty]) {
      Examples:
        // shows "No files selected!" if no files are selected, and skips the loop
        foreach($item, <get selecteditemspathnames>, <crlf>, , "No files selected!") {
         echo $item;
        }
        // shows nothing if no files are selected, and skips the loop
        foreach($item, <get selecteditemspathnames>, <crlf>, , "") {
         echo $item;
        }
    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can state a single file (full 
      path), for example an executable to launch, in the On Click field, 
      and the button will run/open that file. Before, this was only 
      allowed in the Name field.
      This is to support the previously wrong but understandable 
      intuition of many users, IOW it's more user-friendly now.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch when moving the current folder 
      in tree. Fixed.

    * SC urlencode: Now it also encodes the percent character (% = %25). 
      Before, it left it untouched.
    ! Configuration | Advanced | Address Bar relative to application 
      path: The unticked option (Address Bar relative to current path) 
      did not work anymore since 20120522. Fixed.

      error message. Fixed.

v11.60.0102 - 2012-09-20 14:50
    + Undo: Finally (after many years of fruitless attempts) I succeeded 
      in retrieving the new filename generated by Windows when the shell 
      copy renames a file on collision! This means that these copies now 
      can be undone.
      Supported under Windows NT 4.0 and later (IOW not under 9x or ME).    
    ! Undo: In Vista and later, the above improvement fixes a bug where 
      moves of items that were internally renamed on collision were not 
      correctly undone.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.00.0085.
    + Copy Containing Folder(s): The right-click menu of items in Search 
      Results and Branch View got the interesting new command "Copy 
      Containing Folder(s)". It copies the containing folders of all 
      selected items to the clipboard.
      Usage:
        Now you can use Find Files to identify folders by their 
        contents, and then copy those folders for further processing.
        A very useful enhancement.
      Notes:
      - The containing folders are the direct parent folders.
      - If the containing folder is a drive it will NOT be copied.
      - If more than one item is selected the list of containing folders 
        is silently cleared from doublettes and folders contained in 
        other folders in the list.
        So it will not be unusual that less folders are copied than 
        items are selected.
    + Configuration | Extended: Added "Select parent of moved folder". 
      If ticked then the focus jumps to the parent of the moved folder 
      when the moved folder was the focused folder. If unticked the 
      focus stays with the moved folder.
      Factory default is ON since this is the default in Win7 Explorer.
    * Configuration | General: Moved two settings from the Tree section 
      to Configuration | Extended:
      - Show localized folder names
      - Select parent of deleted folder
      Reason: Lack of space.
    * Tree and List: Type Ahead Find now shows a status bar message on a 
      non-match.
    + Variable <get [Command ID] [ReturnOnTrue = 1] [ReturnOnFalse = 0]> 
      now also supports the following Command IDs:
        #178 = File | Floating Preview
      Example:
        echo get("#178", "Floating Preview ON", "Floating Preview OFF");

        #1061 = Miscellaneous | General Functions | Show/Hide Main Menu

v11.60.0201 - 2012-09-25 19:57
    + Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now Mouse Down Blow Up (MDBU) is 
      optional. You can toggle it in Configuration | Preview and in the 
      right-click menu of the Preview.
      Remarks:
      - If MDBU is OFF you can pan a cropped image using the Left Mouse 
        Button (additionally to CTRL+Left Mouse Button and Right Mouse 
        Button).
      - If Mouse Down Blow Up is ON you still can pan a cropped image
        using the Right Mouse Button (or using CTRL+Left Mouse Button).
      - If MDBU is OFF and the image is NOT cropped you can still get 
        MDBU because now it does not interfere with left mouse panning.
    + Configuration | Preview | Floating and Full Screen Preview: Added 
      option "Mouse Down Blow Up". Untick to enable left mouse panning 
      of cropped images. Factory default is OFF.
      See also remarks above.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: When left-mouse panning is 
      active and possible you now get the traditional "hand" cursor.
    * Floating and Full Screen Preview: Now "Fit All" toggles with 
      "Original Size" .
    ! Custom Copy: Rare error on a backgrounded Custom Copy. Fix #2.

    + Floating Preview: Now you can freely zoom in and out using the 
      keys Numpad Add and Numpad Subtract. There is an array of fixed 
      zoom values ranging from 1% up to 5000%.
      The zooming is auto-reset when the next image is previewed.
    * Floating Preview: On zoom 400% and higher the tweak
      LowQualityImageResamplingOnZoom is ignored and "Low Quality" is 
      always applied, i.e. you will see the pixels. This is because 
      "High Quality" just looks bad with such high zoom factors.
    ! Floating Preview: Browsing images in a folder was impossible and 
      the message "No more selected" was wrongly displayed under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.
    > Change Log Note: From now "Floating Preview" stands for "Floating 
      and Full Screen Preview" unless otherwise noted.

    * Floating Preview: Experimentally changed the zoom steps to a 
      logarithmic scale with a factor of square root 2 between 
      consecutive steps, ranging from 0.78% to 6400%. Feels more 
      natural.
    + Floating Preview: Zoom In/Out now also works with the regular plus 
      and minus keys (those not on numpad).

    + Floating Preview: New keyboard shortcuts:
        / (Numpad Divide)   for Original Size
        * (Numpad Multiply) for Fit All
    * Floating Preview: Now the logarithmic zooming uses smaller steps 
      (4th root of 2, which means you need 4 steps to get to the half or 
      double size), and it starts flexibly at the current zoom whatever 
      it is. The possible range is from 0.5% to 6400% of the original 
      size.
      I also added an even finer zooming by the 12th root of 2, which 
      matches the chromatic scale of Western music and e.g. echoes the 
      fret pattern on a guitar neck. For what it's worth hold CTRL to 
      zoom by the 12th root of 2 (1.0594630943593).

v11.60.0205 - 2012-10-02 11:20
    + Configuration | General: Added option "Use dialog to rename single 
      items". Tick it to use a dialog instead of the usual inline-rename 
      in Tree and List.
      Note that the setting only affects the F2 rename; the slow double-
      click will always open the inline-rename.
    + Floating Preview: Now you can rename items directly from the 
      preview using F2 or the right-click menu.
    + Floating Preview: The right-click menu now features "Top-align if 
      Vertically Cropped" (V).
    * Floating Preview: Now zooming in/out by CTRL+Wheel is supported:
        zoom in   = CTRL+Wheel Up
        zoom out  = CTRL+Wheel Down
      Tip: Hold CTRL+SHIFT to fine zoom.
    * Floating Preview: Fine zooming is now done by holding SHIFT. 
      Before, it was CTRL.
    * Floating Preview: Now the logarithmic zooming always snaps to a 
      normalized scale that contains the 100% point.
      Extra smartness lets you go back to the original zoom factor (i.e. 
      to snap out of the normalized scale for that initial zoom factor). 
      For example, the normalized logarithmic 4-step scale between 50% 
      and 100% looks like this:
          50 - 59.40 - 70.75 - 84.01 - 100
      Now when you start from 79.44 (because Fit All happened to produce 
      this value), then your zoom steps will look like this:
          50 - 59.40 - 70.75 - 79.44 - 84.01 - 100
      Additional smartness: If the step between the normalized scale and 
      the initial point happens to be too small (arbitrary hard-coded 
      limit is a ratio of 1.02) then automatically the next step is 
      used.
    * List: Now when you select a tab and the previously selected file 
      is gone then the file that's now at that position is focused (but 
      not selected). Before, the first file would have been focused.
      Note that this works also across sessions.
    ! SC formatlist: Filters containing backslashes, e.g. full paths, 
      did not work alright. Fixed.
    ! Inline Rename: Could not change the selection in the edit box by 
      mouse after about 25 days uptime due to an unhandled overflow. 
      Fixed.

v11.60.0206 - 2012-10-03 20:19
    + Configuration | Tags: Added options "Copy tags on copy operations" 
      and "Copy tags on backup operations". If enabled then tags are 
      copied from the source to the target items of the respective file 
      operations.
      Notes:
      - The tag.dat database will grow for each new target item 
        (for each item that has not been overwritten).
      - If the target is on a removable drives be aware that the tags do 
        not actually end up on that drive but are just added to the 
        local tag.dat where they merely point to that drive.
    + SC get got a new named argument "list_recentlocations".
      Syntax: get("list_recentlocations", [separator=CRLF])
        [separator]:  String to place between items.
                      Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        return:       List of recent locations (identical to menu Go | 
                      Recent Locations).
      Example:
        text get("list_recentlocations");
    * Floating Preview: Now list does not auto-resort anymore after 
      renaming through the Floating Preview.
    * Floating Preview: From now on the Floating Preview window always 
      gets the focus after it's shown. Before, the main window kept the 
      focus when the Floating Preview window did not overlap with it.
    % Floating Preview: Now toggling Mouse Down Blow Up goes instantly 
      (without unnecessarily reloading the image).
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch on a Locked Tree under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.

    + Floating Preview: Added the setting "Lock Zoom" (K) to the right-
      click menu. If ticked then the current zoom level is kept when 
      switching images as long as the preview window is open.
    + Floating Preview: Added the command "Toggle Zoom" (G). Use it to 
      toggle between the last zoom level and the default size of the 
      image (Fit All, Original Size, etc.). The last zoom level is 
      remembered across openings of the preview window (but not across 
      app sessions).
    + Configuration | Tags: Added option "Confirm copying tags". If 
      ticked then you are prompted before any tags are copied from the 
      source items to the target items.
      The prompt is only popped when the copied items contain any tags, 
      and of course not more than once per copy or backup operation.
