    ! Thumbnail Creation: In v23.60.0016 - 2022-09-15 13:01 I experimentally started using 
      the flag SIIGBF_BIGGERSIZEOK. This experiment failed. It lead to weird jumpy sizes 
      with PDF Hover Boxes and MDBU (very small when bounding box <= 256, else very 
      large). Fixed by removing the flag again. It didn't bring anything good anyway.

    + Color Filters: Now the no-extension pattern is supported here as well (as already in 
      Visual Filters, Live Filters, Ghost Filters, Custom File Icons, Quick Search, and 
      File Find). This pattern matches all files without extension:
        *.
    % App Icon: Now the 20x20 and 24x24 versions are also front-only (like the 16x16) 
      instead of the whole box. So the title bar icons in 125% and 150% now all look like 
      the 16x16 one in 100%.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0205.

v23.70.0002 - 2022-09-27 11:45
    + App Icon: Now also the blue version of the new icon is embedded in the exe.
    + SC appicon: Added the blue version of the new icon.
      Syntax: appicon [selector]
        selector:
          "AAA": Use the standard icon (the new icon).
          "AAB": Use the blue version of the new icon.
          "BBB": Use the alternative icon (the old icon).
          other: Same as "AAA".
          missing: Pop a dialog showing the choices.
    % App Icon: Polished some more pixels in the 16x16 version.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0203.
    * List: Now when sorting by a Type that combines various extensions, eg "JPEG image", 
      then all files with the same extensions (eg first all JPG, then all JPEG) are 
      grouped together and then (secondary-)sorted by the filename.
      Previously, they were all mixed and just (secondary-)sorted by the filename.
    ! SC appicon: Dialog did not scale with custom scaling. Should be fixed (air code).
    ! Custom File Icons: Since 20220915 some icons, e.g. those from exectuables, were not 
      replaced by any defined CFIs anymore. Fixed.
    ! Admin Settings | Fixed Mini Tree: FixedMiniTree=1 crashed on startup since 20220914. Fixed.

    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ App Icon. New.

      handy little dialogue.

    ! Color Filters: Since 20220921 the filter attr:junction did not work anymore. Fixed. 
      This was related to the change of the letter from J to L. Now it works again with 
      "junction" or any word starting with L (or l). :)

v23.60.0115 - 2022-09-25 21:53
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: AppIcon
      Action: Lets you pick the app icon on the fly.
      Syntax: appicon [selector]
        selector:
          "BBB": use the alternative icon (the old icon)
          "AAA" or anything else: use the standard icon (the new icon)
          missing: pop a dialog showing the choices
      Remarks: 
        - You have a choice between the old and the new icon. Both are icon resources 
          embedded in the executable.
        - The choice is remembered across sessions.
        - This setting uses the INI key "IconFile".
      Examples:
        appicon; //pop a dialog showing the choices
        appicon "AAA"; //select new icon
        appicon "BBB"; //select old icon
    * Tweak IconFile: Now used by the above resource selector. You can still use it in the 
      old way (state a file spec, cf v9.00.0017 - 2010-04-16 16:00), but it will be 
      overwritten if you OK SC appicon.

    + Tweak IconFile: Now you can specify the selector for the embedded icon resource. The 
      default is "AAA", but now you can tweak it to "BBB" to use the old BlackOrange icon 
      within the app interface (i.e. mainly in all the window title bars; it won't change 
      the icon associated with the executable file when seen from the outside; however, at 
      least in Win 8.1, the alternative icon is also inherited by the task bar).
        IconFile=BBB
    ! Fonts: Fixed some display and configuration bugs related to bold, semibold, and 
      regular fonts and switching between them.

v23.60.0111 - 2022-09-24 17:26
    + Preview Tab and Preview Pane | Icon Preview and Font Preview: Now you can scroll the 
      preview using the mouse wheel (if there is something to scroll, ie if scrollbars are 
      visible). The horizontal wheel is supported as well, and horizontal scrolling can be 
      enforced by holding SHIFT while wheeling over the preview pane.
    + Catalog: Now when you click on a catalog item, the icon is updated automatically. 
      Indicates whether a file has been deleted in the meantime (icon changes to a 
      question mark) or restored. Keeps the icon of used items fresh without having to 
      manually update catalog icons completely.
    % App Icon: Polished some more pixels in the 16x16 version.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0202.
    ! Help | About XYplorer: The copyright sign © did not work with the Chinese and some 
      other code pages; it just showed as ?. Fixed.
    ! Status Bar | Vertical Swipe Toggles the Info Panel: Up-swipe did not work well when 
      the Info Panel was showing the Preview or the Raw View tab. Fixed.

v23.60.0110 - 2022-09-23 15:47
    * Hover Blacklist: Improved (empowered and simplified) the syntax. Now you can use 
      wildcards in the standard way for whole paths (identified by the presence of / or : 
      in the resolved pattern) or just item names.
      Some examples (no surprises here, all pretty standard):
        A:\*                  //match all items on drive A: (and A: itself)
        A:\slow               //match A:\slow
        A:\slow*              //match all items in and under A:\slow\ (and A:\slow itself)
        A:\slow\              //match all items in A:\slow\ (but not in folders below)
        A:\slow\*             //match all items in and under A:\slow\ (but not A:\slow itself)
        %HOMEDRIVE%           //match %HOMEDRIVE% and all items in the root folder on %HOMEDRIVE%
        F:\Sl?th\             //match all items in paths called F:\Slath\, F:\Sloth\ ... (but not in folders below)
        *\backup\*            //match all items in folders called "backup"
        *.webp                //match all WEBP items
        D:\*.webp             //match all WEBP items on drive D:
        k*                    //match all items starting with k (or K)
        readme.txt            //match all items named "readme.txt"
    % App Icon: Polished some pixels in the 16x16 version. And generally improved the 
      adjustment of the app icon to various screen resolutions.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0201.

    + File Info Tips and Hover Box: Now you can specify a "Hover Blacklist" containing any 
      number of target paths to be excluded from the File Info Tips and Hover Box, i.e. 
      excluded from file access on mouse hover. Usually you want to exclude slow paths, 
      e.g. cloud folders.
      The data should be provided in a file placed in <xydata> and named 
      "HoverBlacklist.txt". The paths should be listed one per line in any order. All 
      sorts of variables and portable syntax are supported.
      To exclude whole branches you have to append an * (asterisk) to mark a folder as 
      being blacklisted including all subfolders. The Hover Blacklist supports comments 
      after //.
      So far the syntax is identical to "CustomCopyBlacklist.dat". But there's more:
      You can also exclude certain file types via wildcards * and ?, eg "*.mov".
      Example for contents of HoverBlacklist.txt:
        A:\*                  //strange noises when accessing files
        %HOMEDRIVE%           //boring
        %ALLUSERSPROFILE%*    //who cares
        F:\Sloth\             //slow by nature
        *.mov                 //not interested in MOV videos
        k**                   //who needs files or folders starting with k (or K)
      Note how "k**" needs a double asterisk to resolve the ambiguity with the branch 
      marking final asterisk.
    + Catalog: Now you can assign icons extracted from icon resources (exe; dll; 
      cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm).
      For example (Item Properties | Caption):
        Desk|C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll /222
        Home|C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll /163
    * App Icon: Now also embedded the previous icon in 32-bit color depth.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0200. New icon, here it's the all-blue version. Also 
      embedded the previous icon in 32-bit color depth.
    ! Lock Tree: Upgrading from a version older than v23.60.0015 (where the "Lock Tree" 
      toggle moved to menu Tools | Customize Tree) the Lock Tree setting was lost. Fixed.
