    ! TAB Sequence: Was broken since about 5 weeks ago. Fixed.

      left to right by their current position (as is stated in the help file) but by some 
      internal order. Fixed.

    * Updated the help file.
    ! Catalog: After editing the 'Click and Tag' header once, even without changes, the 
      Category wouldn't allow to create new Tag items, and any existing Tag item you tried 
      to edit would turn into a default catalog item. Fixed.
    ! Paper Folders: When opening a paper folder in a background tab, the tab showed a 
      generic question mark icon. Fixed.

    ! SC quicksearch: Certain selectors were not correctly identified when the search 
      triggered by quicksearch was the first search of the session. Fixed.
    ! Panes | Sync Select...: Did not work as it should when one of the lists was filled 
      by Quick Search over a list of items (Search In List). Fixed.
    ! Catalog | Right-Click Menu | Insert As New Category Here | Tabs: If the active tab 
      had a Visual Filter applied when you added the Tabs Category, all the Catalog items 
      that are created in the category had the Visual Filter appended to them. Fixed.
    ! Edit | Paste Special | Paste As Hard Link(s): Since 20221001 it failed with a bogus 
      error "Different drive. Target has to be on the same drive.". Fixed.

v23.70.0207 - 2022-11-05 10:47
    ! Floating Preview: Some inconsistencies with "Zoom to Fit" enabled. Fixed.
    ! Image and Video Preview: Undid that change from v23.70.0206. It brought new 
      problems.
      Since these problems differ with each Windows version and configuration (installed 
      preview handlers) each user has to find the setting that suits him best. These are 
      the 3 options, available as one-line scripts that can be run through the XYplorer 
      address bar:
        tweak("PreviewEarlyFactory", 0); //early factory for pdf, ttf, webp, for videos,
                                         //and for shell folder thumbnails (= XY Factory Default)
        tweak("PreviewEarlyFactory", 1); //early factory for all file types
        tweak("PreviewEarlyFactory", 2); //early factory for no file types
      To find out the current setting do this and look at the status bar:
        tweak("PreviewEarlyFactory");
      FYI, "factory" refers to the IShellItemImageFactory interface (from Vista onwards). 
      "Early factory" means: try the factory first, then fall back to other methods.

v23.70.0206 - 2022-11-04 18:29
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Context...: Added "Portable Devices". Tick it to show a Hover Box also for items on 
      portable devices. Often a preview doesn't work on portable devices and the 
      unsuccessful attempt takes a long time. Now you can avoid this waste of time.
      By factory default this setting is OFF.
    * Portable Devices: Now you can stop a slow pre-processing operation by pressing ESC 
      when copying files from a PD to some other location. This pre-processing can be so 
      slow (depending on the mood of Windows) that sometimes it's better to just give up.
    ! Image and Video Preview: The internal order of preview attempts (there are many 
      different ways to preview in Windows) has been changed to work around some rare and 
      weird issues with Windows 11 and also get rid of the infamous "Switch to/Retry" 
      dialog.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.154.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.154.lng is uploaded.

    * SCs sortby, selfilter: Now partial match is used only as a fall back if there is no 
      full match for the "column" parameter. Previously, the first partial match from 
      the left was used even if a full match was available further to the right.
    * Toolbar | Save Tags: Old icons.

v23.70.0204 - 2022-11-04 10:54
    * Toolbar | Save Tags: New icons.
    ! Info Panel | Find Files | Name & Location: This did not work anymore for : 
      (Boolean), quoting Help:
        Note that you can alternatively select the Boolean and RegExp modes by prefixing 
        the name pattern with : or > and thereby *overwrite* the setting of the Mode 
        dropdown! If you do, the dropdown will be replaced by a static label reflecting 
        the current mode.
      Fixed.
    ! Find Files: Fixed some glitches with Search In List (SIL).

v23.70.0202 - 2022-11-03 18:04
    + Toolbar: Added button "Save Tags". The function is identical to "File | Settings 
      Special | Save Tags" but it gives you a handy visual feedback about the dirtyness of 
      the situation. If there are any unsaved tags the button icon is red, else it is 
      blue. Additionally the icon is rotated to make it work for red-green-blind users.

v23.70.0201 - 2022-11-03 10:34
    * Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Save changes to disk 
      immediately: Improved the handling of an unavailable shared tags database. You now 
      get an immediate error message when the saving failed, and Tags are then shown as 
      "dirty" (= prefixed with an asterisk) in the "File | Settings Special" submenu.
    * App Icon: I changed my mind about the icon change. It was a stupid idea. The old 
      icon is too deeply rooted in the internet, it can no longer be replaced. So I went 
      back to the old icon. The iconic one. ;)
    > Note that the Windows Desktop reacts slowly to icon changes. It might take days till 
      all caches are updated and you actually see the new (old) icon in the task bar.
    * SC appicon: Adjusted to the new state of the internal icon resource.
      Syntax: appicon [selector]
        selector:
          "AAA": Use the classic standard icon, aka BlackOrange.
          "ABA": Use the red version of the new icon, aka BlueBox.
          "ABB": Use the blue version of the new icon, aka BlueBox.
          other: Same as "AAA".
          missing: Pop a dialog showing the choices.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0209.

v23.70.0112 - 2022-10-02 14:46
    ! EXIF Properties: In a particularly strange anomaly, the GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude 
      properties sometimes returned invalid values for the same files on the same calls 
      (this shouldn't happen on a computer). Instead of "521623793/11930464 0/1 0/1" 
      something like "8388609/1 1/107206800 24/0" was returned.
        echo get("exif", 0x0002); //GPSLatitude
        echo get("exif", 0x0004); //GPSLongitude
      Fixed in a crude way. I keep calling (up to 5 times) that value until it looks good.

        TreeExpandOnDragOver=0
