v26.70.0602 - 2025-01-13 16:25
    + File | Rename Special | Edit Item Names...: Now has a Word Wrap checkbox, and 
      defaults to wrapped (hides the horizontal scrollbar which is usually not needed).
    % Custom Copy | Progress Dialog: More feedback in the initial phase when destination 
      folders are checked and created if necessary. Previously, there could be many 
      seconds where nothing seemed to happen.
      Currently implemented in foreground processing only.
    ! Admin settings: Some keys would not be read if the author of Admin.ini chose a 
      certain key sequence. Fixed.

    + Admin Settings: The paths in the [Paths] section now support environment variables, 
      for example:
        [Paths]
        FileTagDat="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\DB.dat"
        Scripts="D:\XYusers\%USERNAME%\Scripts"
    * Deleting Items With Overlong Filenames (> 259 Characters): Apparently Windows 11 has 
      learned to handle the (permanent) deletion of overlong items, so XY's own prompt and 
      procedure are now skipped in Windows 11.

    + Menu Tools | Customize Tree: Added toggle "Lock Scroll Position". Check it to 
      prevent automatic scrolling of the selected folder into view.
      Note that the lock only applies to newly selected folders after a change of 
      location. Of course, you can still scroll the tree manually by scrollbar, wheel or 
      keyboard.
    > Hot Tip For The Uninitiated: The Customize Tree menu is closer than you think. It 
      pops up when you Shift+Right click on the empty space in the tree.
    + SC get and variable <get ...> now also support the following Command ID:
        #468  = Tools | Customize Tree | Lock Scroll Position
      Example:
        echo get("#468", "Lock Scroll Position ON", "Lock Scroll Position OFF");^
    - Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Scroll selected folder into view: 
      Removed. Replaced by Tools | Customize Tree | Lock Scroll Position.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.193.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.193.lng is uploaded.

    * Multi Branch View: Now only the common parent folder is shown in the title bar.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Fixed some glitches with the snake, part 2.
    ! Quick Search: Since 20241224, capitalization of search locations was no longer 
      corrected, which caused tags in those paths not to be displayed. Fixed.

      (OneDrive, Download, Documents etc) and Rapid Access Folders.
    ! The last beta (v26.70.0511) caused "Subscript out of range" errors for at least one

    ! Tree Path Tracing: Fixed some glitches with the snake.
    ! Shell Properties: FLAC files in Win10 and later show triple values for some 
      properties, e.g. "Rock; Rock; Rock" instead of "Rock" for the Genre property. It's a 
      Windows bug, but XY now cleans up the mess for Microsoft.

    + SC conf enhanced: Added setting "PreviewVideosAsThumbnail" to control "Configuration 
      | Preview | Preview | Video preview | Preview as thumbnail" programmatically.
      Examples:
        echo conf("PreviewVideosAsThumbnail");  //get (value is also shown in status bar)

    % Miscellaneous | Go To | Open Containing Folder in New Background Tab: Smoother drawing.

v26.70.0508 - 2025-01-05 12:51
    * Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Scroll selected folder into view: 
      If this was off and a location change resulted in the tree being expanded somewhere 
      above the viewport, the contents of the viewport would change even though 
      the scroll position was unchanged. Although technically correct, this is probably 
      not the desired result of this feature.
      This is how it works now: When "Scroll selected folder into view" is off, it is 
      ensured that the top node in the viewport remains the same, even if this means that 
      the scroll position has to be changed internally.
    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Scroll selected folder into view: 
      Functionality was logically reversed. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Scroll selected folder into view: 
      Turning if off had no effect with Virtual Folders. Fixed.

    + Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree: Added "Scroll selected folder into 
      view" option. Check this to scroll a newly selected folder into view. The default is 
      ON, and it had been hardcoded to ON since day one. But now you can turn it off and 
      leave your tree peacefully wherever it is.

v26.70.0505 - 2025-01-02 12:47
    + SC tab enhanced: The operation "get" got a new data parameter "IDprev". On or after 
      a tab switch it returns the ID of the previously selected tab. Initially (after 
      startup, before any tab switch) the value defaults to 1. The value can be used e.g. 
      in the Custom Event Actions "Before browsing a folder" or "Switch tabs".
      Example:
        echo "Tab ID " . tab("get", "IDprev") . " to " . tab("get", "ID");
    + SC seltab enhanced: You can now select tabs by ID, not just by position. If 
      "switches" (previously the argument was named "mru") is set to "i", then the value 
      in "position" is taken as the tab ID (which always remains with a tab, no matter 
      where it is moved):
      Syntax: seltab [position], [switches]
        switches: If position is relative ("+" or "-") then "switches" controls which tab is 
                  selected next:
                    0: [Default] Left-right order.
                    1: Last used order.
                    i: Position is tab ID.
      Examples:
        seltab 3;    //select the third tab (from the left)
        seltab 3, i; //select the tab with ID 3
    > Tab ID: To find out the ID of a tab, hold down the SHIFT key while hovering over the 
      tab header; the ID is displayed in the tooltip.
    + Rapid Access Folders: RAF file info tips in the tree now also show the real path.
    > Happy 2025! It will be mind-blowing.

    + Rapid Access Folders: Experimental support for portable paths ("?:" stands for the 
      drive this XYplorer is running on) and relative paths (relative to the XYplorer path).
    ! Rapid Access Folders: When renaming a RAF, any soft parts (e.g. variables, relative 
      path syntax) in the definition got replaced by their resolved values. Fixed. Now 
      they remain soft.
