v23.60.0005 - 2022-09-07 21:47
    + Native Variables: Added <curvers> and <srcvers> to return the so-called "string file 
      version" (eg "23.60.0005") as opposed to <curver> and <srcver> which return the 
      so-called "fixed file version" (eg "23.60.0.5").
    + Live Filter Box: Now when the filter is removed, the last scroll position of the 
      unfiltered list is restored (it's even remembered across tab switches and sessions). 
      Exception: If an item is focused AND selected at the moment the filter is removed, 
      that item will be scrolled into view.
    ! Live Filter Box: Under certain conditions a random item in a freshly live-filtered 
      list was auto-selected. Fixed: No more auto-selections here, unless you tick 
      Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | 
      Auto-select first match.

    + Floating Preview: The right-click menu of the Floating Preview's status 
      bar now has a toggle "Place Status Bar Over Image". If ticked the image preview is 
      not shrunk/moved upwards anymore to make space for the status bar. Logically the 
      bottom of large previews will be convered by the status bar.
    ! SC confirm: Since yesterday the return was always 0 (zero). Fixed.
  >>> This beta version was compiled with special debug code that will pop error messages 
      where in earlier versions it would just crash. Helps tracking down a crash bug.

v23.60.0003 - 2022-09-06 19:43
    * SC delete: Now it behaves like pressing DEL on Paper Folders. When the List is a 
      showing Paper Folder and "On Delete Remove Items from Paper Folder" is ON these will 
      behave like pressing DEL now and remove the selected items from the Paper Folder, 
      not from the file system:
        delete 1, 1, ":list"; //with prompt
        delete 1, 0, ":list"; //without prompt
      If the List has the focus, it also work without the ":list" argument:
        delete 1, 1; //with prompt
        delete 1, 0; //without prompt
    + SC confirm enhanced. Now you can specify the icon in the buttons parameter (now 
      called buttons_icons). The same is already supported by SC msg.
      Syntax: confirm(text, [linebreaker="
"], [default_button=1], [buttons_icons=1])
        buttons_icons: (bit field)
          Defines what buttons and icons to show in the dialog:
          0: [Default] Only one button, "Ok".
          1: Two buttons, "Ok" and "Cancel". 
             When you press "Cancel", the script execution will end there 
             (useful for confirmations).
          16: Critical
          32: [Default] Question
          48: Exclamation (sic: 16 + 32, MS invented that)
          64: Information
      Example:
        echo confirm("Click Yes if you like this dialog.", , , 4+64);
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Main Contents: Fonts like "Segoe UI 
      Semibold" could not be preselected, it only worked for the weights "Regular" and 
      "Bold". Fixed.

v23.60.0002 - 2022-09-06 11:04
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0198.
    ! Paper Folders: Visual glitch after info bar context menu call. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: After canceling a single-item job at the overwrite prompt, the final 
      dialog reported "Custom Copy Completed" instead of "Custom Copy Canceled". Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: If you have a tagged file and you move it and there is a collision, if 
      you apply one of the affix/suffixes in the dialog, the tags still get moved over to 
      the original destination filename. Since 20211127. Fixed.

v23.60.0001 - 2022-09-05 11:13
    + File Attributes: Added 4 new file attributes to the attributes that can be shown in 
      the "Attr" column, and filtered/searched using the "attr:" and "attrlist:" selectors, 
      and returned by <prop #attr>.
          Nick Name     Full Name                         Value       Letter
        - Integrity     FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INTEGRITY_STREAM   0x8000      M
        - Virtual       FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL            0x10000     V
        - NoScrub       FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NO_SCRUB_DATA      0x20000     X
        - RecallOpen    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_OPEN     0x40000     K
      Note that these new attributes are NOT shown on the Properties tab or on the 
      Attributes tab (Find Files). There is no space left. Nevertheless they can be used 
      in filters and searches. For example, (Visual Filters, Color Filters, Quick Search):
        attr:K               = RecallOpen attribute set
        attrlist:KUL         = RecallOpen AND Unpinned AND Recall attribute set
    * Hover Box: Now it will attempt to show the textual contents of any file that appears 
      to be a text file, regardless of the file name.
    % Tree and List: Now you can activate the app (bring it to the foreground) by 
      clicking onto selected item *without* triggering a slow double-click (which usually 
      opens the inline rename box). Solution #2. Better.
    ! Special Properties | #image.datetaken: A Boolean expression like this:
        prop:#image.datetaken: >= 4/9/2007 AND prop:#image.datetaken: <= 4/9/2012 
      ... could fail with error 13 (Type Mismatch). Fixed.

    + Special Properties | #image.datetaken: Now it supports comparison operators (>, >=, 
      <=, >), which means you can define date ranges in your searches. Examples:
        prop:#image.datetaken: >= 4/9/2007    //match all photos taken on or after that date
        prop:#image.datetaken: <= 4/9/2012    //match all photos taken on or before that date
        //match all photos taken between those two dates:
        prop:#image.datetaken: >= 4/9/2007 AND prop:#image.datetaken: <= 4/9/2012
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Custom items in 
      shell context menu: Now the descriptions that appear in the status bar when you 
      hover over the menu items are shown with the first letter in upper case and with a 
      trailing period.

v23.50.0303 - 2022-08-31 12:12
    * SC WriteFile: Added two parameters to control the position and length of the data 
      written to the file.
      Syntax: writefile(filename, data, [on_exist], [mode], [start=1], [numbytes=-1])
        start:  Start writing at this byte position.
                Defaults to 1 which is the very beginning.
                Note: Writing here is always overwriting, not inserting!
        numbytes: Write this number of bytes.
                  Defaults to -1 which means: write everything passed in the data argument.
      Example:
        writefile(, "abc", , , 3, 2); //writes "ab" at pos 3 to the currently selected file
    * Searching for Date Properties: Now the comparison got smarter. When the pattern has 
      no time part then only the day part is compared, when the pattern has no seconds 
      then only the minutes are compared. Also the pattern now can be stated in the local 
      date format, or in ISO 8601.
      Here are some Quick Search terms:
        prop:#image.datetaken:2005-06-28          //will match 2005-06-28 19:51:58 (and any other time on that day)
        prop:#image.datetaken:6/28/2005           //will match 2005-06-28 19:51:58 (and any other time on that day)
        prop:#image.datetaken:6/28/2005 07:51 PM  //will match 2005-06-28 19:51:58 (and any other second in that minute)
    ! Special Properties: On AM/PM systems the special property #image.datetaken returned 
      ISO format for PM times, and the regional format for AM times. Fixed: Now 
      #image.datetaken returns ISO format for all times, and regardless of the regional 
      date settings. This greatly simplifies handling in scripting. Example:
        echo <prop #image.DateTaken>; //returns ISO format, e.g. 2010-07-03 02:02:27
    ! Paper Folders: Duplicate items were possible due to different letter case. Fixed.

v23.50.0302 - 2022-08-30 20:07
    + Scripting | For Loops: Now nested For loops are supported:
      For example, these nested For loops:
        for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) {
          for ($j = 1; $j <= 3; $j++) {
            echo "$i.$j";
          }
        }
      ... are internally converted to these nested While loops:
        $i = 1;
        while ($i <= 3) {
          $j = 1;
          while ($j <= 3) {
            echo "$i.$j";
            $j++;
          }
          $i++;
        }
    + Scripting | For Loops: Now the For loops can contain other control structures, for 
      example:
        for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
          if ($i % 2 == 0) {
            echo $i;

v23.50.0301 - 2022-08-30 14:45
    + Scripting: Added experimental support for For loops. For loops can be thought of as 
      shorthand for While loops, and that's how they're supported now: For loops are 
      internally converted to While loops. If you step through your scripts, you'll see 
      that.
      For example, this For loop:
        for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) {
          echo $i;
        }
      ... is internally converted to this While loop:
        $i = 1;
        while ($i <= 3) {
          echo $i;
          $i++;
        }
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Cache path | Clear...: Did not kill the new 
      *.ini files yet. Did not kill "XYThumbs.txt" yet. Raised error 70 (Permission 
      denied) when the cache was currently active (thumbnails showing). All fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Find Files | Dupes: The captions of the bold checkboxes were chopped 
      off on certain font settings. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: When viewing text content, the status area now shows a "Leftwards Arrow 
      with Hook" (U+21A9) in the right bottom corner when word wrap is enabled.
    ! Windows Version: Version detection for Windows 10 and later was out of sync with 
      Microsoft's crazy development of a versioning system that's as messy as possible.
      Fixed. For example:
      - OLD: Windows 10 Professional, 64-bit, Release 2009, Build 17134.1706 (6.4), .NET v4.8.04084
