    + List | Information Bar: Now in patterns with flanking spaces the spaces 
      are replaced by a visible character, Unicode Character 'OPEN BOX' (U+2423).
      That way you can actually see what's going on.
    + Tabs: Same as above is done in tab headers for Visual Filters.
    + Various Tooltips: Same as above.
    + Mouse Down Blow Up: Now it has a drop shadow.
    + Hover Box: Now it has a drop shadow.
    * Hover Box: Now abundant width is trimmed.
    ! List: After "New Folder" in the root of drive C:\ the rename box was 
      auto-closed. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: The keywords "break", "case", "default", and "return" were not 
      case-insensitive in all contexts. Fixed.

    * Hover Box: Now the largest icon in an ICO resource is shown, and the 
      setting of "Configuration | Thumbnails | Show transparency grid" is 
      honored (just like it is in Mouse Down Blow Up).
    * Hover Box: Now "Cannot decode." is shown on such images.
    * Configuration | File Info Tips | Show info tips only when hovering file 
      icon: On various views (Large Icons, Tiles, Thumbnails) this setting did 
      not work as expected but the info tips only popped over the caption. Now 
      they pop over the icon or thumbnail.
    + Configuration | File Info Tips: Added option "Show info tips only while 
      the shift key is held down". Tick it to show File Info Tips only while the 
      Shift key is held down.
      Raises tweak FileInfoTipHoldShift to GUI.

v17.60.0105 - 2017-03-02 21:49
  +++ Hover Box: Also known as HoverBox™. The latest and hippest feature of XY. 
      If enabled the normal File Info Tip for images is replaced by the Hover 
      Box, a dark popup that shows a thumbnail and basic file, image, and photo 
      data. The thumbnail has a max space of 400 x 400 (bounding box).
      The idea is to get a small image preview without any clicking, a Zero Click 
      Preview (and also Zero Sound by the way). It's kind of a pre-preview to 
      the Mouse Down Blow Up, which is just a mouse down away.
      Remarks:
      - How to enable the feature:
        - Configuration | File Info Tips | Show image info and preview
      - How to open the box:
        - Move mouse over the file (icon or caption, depending on settings and view).
      - How to close the box:
        - Move mouse out of the file.
        - Move mouse over another file (pops a new box).
        - Move mouse over the box itself.
        - Press ESC.
      - The box honors "Initial delay in milliseconds", but it does not honor 
        "Visible time in milliseconds". It will stay up until actively closed.
      - At the moment the Hover Box is only available for images. Other file 
        formats *might* follow in a later phase, not sure yet.
      - There is nothing to configure (I hope this feels relaxing to you).
    * Configuration | File Info Tips: Moved stuff around a bit.

v17.60.0103 - 2017-03-01 19:42
    + Configuration: Created new section "Find and Filter", 
      containing 2 pages (and I moved some stuff around):
      - Find Files & Branch View (previously under File Operations)
        - Find Files
        - Branch View
      - Filters & Type Ahead Find (new)
        - Visual Filters (previously under Find Files & Branch View)
        - Live Filter Box (new)
        - Type Ahead Find (previously under Menus, Mouse, Safety)
    + Configuration | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box: Added a field 
      enter the "Delay before filter is applied (in milliseconds)".
      The tweak "LiveFilterDelay" is hereby raised to GUI.
      Factory default is 0 (to show off some speed) but I'm personally happy 
      with 300 ms. Reduces the browsing action if you type faster than 300 ms 
      between the strokes.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.86.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.86.lng is uploaded.

v17.60.0102 - 2017-03-01 14:54
    + SC gettoken enhanced: Now you can pass an empty separator.
      Syntax: gettoken(string, [index=1], [separator=" "], [format], [flags])
        separator:  Separator used in list of tokens.
                    If empty ("") then the string is separated char by char.
      Examples:
        text gettoken("abcd", 1, ""); //a
        text gettoken("abcd", 4, ""); //d
        text gettoken("abcd", -1, ""); //d
        text gettoken("abcd", 2, "", , 1); //ab   (Return from start)
        text gettoken("abcd", 2, "", , 2); //bcd  (Return till end)
    * Live Filter Box: Hitting Enter now works on the focused item even if it is 
      not selected. In that case the focused item is auto-selected before 
      processing continues. Saves a key stroke in some situations.
    * Live Filter Box: Experimentally the Backspace key can now be used right 
      from the LFB if it is mapped to "Go | Up" (by default Backspace) or "Go | 
      Down" (by default Shift+Backspace) AND if the LFB is empty.
    - Configuration | Fonts: As indicated in v12.50.0021 - 2013-07-01 20:40 the 
      section "Configuration | Fonts | Dialogs" has now been removed. All 
      elements previously controlled by it are now controlled by "Configuration 
      | Fonts | Buttons and Labels". Adds clarity by removing a superfluous 
      category. Less is more.

v17.60.0101 - 2017-02-28 21:42
    + Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Type Ahead Find: Added option 
      "Redirect typing to Live Filter Box". If ticked then:
      If you type a character while in a list pane, the Live Filter Box (LFB) 
      opens (if not open already), the focus moves to the LFB and all your typing 
      lands in there, including the first character you typed when focus was 
      still in the list.
      Note that all other options under "Enable type ahead find" are ignored if 
      the typing is redirected to the LFB.
    + Live Filter Box: Heavily enhanced functionality allows pretty comfortable 
      keys-only List-navigation right from the box:
      - Keys Up, Down, PageUp, PageDown work to move the focus within the list.
        BTW: Unsure about the Home and End key. They can be functional in both 
        contexts, the Box and the List. For now I decided to keep them in the 
        Box.
      - Hitting enter on a folder navigates into the folder and resets the live 
        filter back to nothing.
      - Hitting enter on a file runs the file and doesn't reset the live 
        filter.
      Note that the new behavior was already present (as applicable) in other 
      filter boxes in the interface, so we have a gain in consistency in 
      addition to the gain in functionality.
    * Configuration | Fonts: Now the displayed font sizes are rounded.
    ! Address Bar: Auto-Complete Path Names failed on junctions (e.g. 
      C:\Documents and Settings -> C:\Users). Fixed.
      Note that "Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Resolve 
      junctions" has to be ticked for this, of course.

v17.60.0006 - 2017-02-26 16:13
    * SC QuickSearch enhanced: Added flag "m" to return basic metadata along 
      with the found items.
      Syntax: quicksearch([query="*"], [path], [separator="<crlf>"], [flags])
        flags:  [optional] String of flags to modify the function.
                s: Show status.
                m: Return metadata. The format is fixed:
                   name|size|modified|created|accessed|attributes
                   - name: full path name
                   - size: raw bytes
                   - dates: ISO 8601
                   - attributes: string of hyphens/letters (just like in the file list)
      Remarks:
        - This is really powerful stuff. And it hardly costs any time: All info 
          is already present and just needs to be stringed up and returned.
        - Tip: If you use "m" you should not set separator to "|" else the 
          return is hard to parse.
      Example:
        text quicksearch("*.jpg", , , "m");
      Sample Return:
        E:\Test\AltFacts.jpg|94078|2017-01-23 09:42:44|2017-01-23 09:42:43|2017-01-23 09:42:44|----A-----I-

    * List: In Search Results & Branch View, dragging a non-root file onto 
      another non-root file moved file to root folder of search/branch. This was 
      rather confusing. It will not happen anymore. Now for moving a file to the 
      root you have to drag it onto the empty space.
    ! List: Crash when sorting by Label but no files have been tagged (since 
      20161103). Fixed.

  *** List Column Sort Order Glyph: More than 10 years we had the striped 
      pyramid, almost an icon of XYplorer. But it started to feel old. So I 
      replaced with a new chevron like glyph. Hope you like it.
    + Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: Now differences in the displayed file 
      details are underlined only but not highlighted in green anymore. Reason: 
      The green does not work well in all color schemes. And I disliked the 
      tautological double-marking.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0100.

    ! Search Templates: When running a search directly from the Search Template 
      dialog the search was actually run *twice* since 20170215, the first time 
      while the dialog was still open. Fixed.
    ! Favorite Folders: A favorite manually added via List Management without a 
      trailing slash would be correctly listed in the Favorite Folders menu but 
      not be shown bold in the Tree. Fixed.

    * Overwrite Prompt: Stabilized the height of the dialog since it's pointless 
      to change it (any changes were not remembered anyway between calls). So 
      this is now a dialog where you can only customize the width.
    ! Tools | Customize Toolbar: The dialog failed without grace on large DPI 
      settings (>= 200%). Fixed.
      Part of the solution was to redesign that dialog. A bunch of elements, 
      set-and-forget material IMO, were packed into a popup menu triggered by 
      the new Options button. Makes for a clearer interface, and the stuff you 
      need most of the time, the button lists, even got more space now.
    ! While on 200% DPI I fixed a bunch of other glitches that spoiled the 
      experience.
    ! Raw View: Wrong line parsing with files that were mixed DOS/UNIX. 
      Fixed.
    % Raw View: The above fix also made the Raw View faster for ASCII files.

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: Favs
      Action: Sets or retrieves a Favorites list.
      Syntax: favs([type=d|f], [items], [separator=CRLF], [action=a|p|s|d)
        type: Specifies which favorites list.
              d = [Default] Folders/Directories
              f = Files
        items: Favorite items separated by separator.
               If missing the function just returns the current favorites.
        separator: Separator for list of items.
                   Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
        action: [optional] Action to take with the items.
                a = [Default] Append to current list.
                p = Prepend to current list.
                s = Set/Replace current list.
                d = Delete from current list.
        return: The list of current favorites for the specified type (before any change).
      Examples:
        text favs('f'); // return the current list of favorite files
        favs('d', <curpath>); // add current path to favorite folders
        favs('d', <curpath>, , 'd'); // remove current path from favorite folders
        favs('d', '', , 's'); //set favorite folders to nothing
        favs('f', <focitem>, , 'p'); // add focused item to top of favorite files
        paperfolder('Favorites', favs('f') . <crlf> . favs('d')); // create Paper Folder from favs

    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:    
  +++ Find Files by Path. Now you can find items by the name of their parent 
      folder or full path, using a simple inline switch.
  +++ New Overwrite Prompt. Redesigned the dialog for clarity and usability.
  +++ Audio Properties. Now the basic audio properties (Bit Rate, Sample Rate, 
      Channels, Length) are shown right in the Large Tiles view. Allows for a 
      quick glance without displaying any spacy extra columns.
