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-
        E:\Test\OrangeOne.jpg|39138|2015-11-01 21:11:00|2017-01-27 14:19:58|2017-01-27 14:19:58|----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.

v17.60.0003 - 2017-02-24 16:26
    * 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.

v17.50.0222 - 2017-02-19 17:28
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: LoadSettings
      Action: Restarts XYplorer with different settings.
      Syntax: loadsettings path, [flags]
        path: Path of new settings. Can be:
              - INI file base only: "new" [defaults to "<xydata>\new.ini"]
              - INI file only: "new.ini" [defaults to "<xydata>\new.ini"]
              - path to new appdata: "E:\path" [defaults to "E:\path\XYplorer.ini"]
              - path to new appdata plus INI file: "E:\path\new.ini"
        flags: (bit field)
                  1 = Keep current instance open (else it's closed).
                      Works even if this is OFF: Configuration | Startup & Exit | Allow multiple instances 
      Remarks:
        - Contrary to "File | Settings Special | Load Configuration..." (which 
          only loads a new INI file) SC LoadSettings can set a new appdata path. 
          This means it can load a whole different set of settings (Catalog, 
          Tags, Keyboard Shortcuts, Tabsets, etc).
          This makes it a pretty powerful cool new command!
      Examples:
        - Load just new INI file:
          loadsettings "new.ini"; //INI file <"xydata>\new.ini"
          loadsettings "new";     //same as above (extension defaults to *.ini)
        - If the path is included this path will be the new appdata path:
          loadsettings "E:\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots\";  //default to "XYplorer.ini" in new appdata path 
          loadsettings "E:\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots";   //IF the path exists: same as above
                                                            //If NOT: load "E:\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots.ini"
          loadsettings "E:\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots\new.ini"; //"new.ini" in new appdata path
        - Keeping the current instance open:
          loadsettings "E:\XYplorer\appdata_screenshots\", 1;
          loadsettings <curpath>, 1;
    ! List: Incorrect vertical scrollbar behaviour with huge lists ( > 32767 
      items). Fixed.

v17.50.0219 - 2017-02-18 18:08
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: OpenCommandPrompt
      Action: Opens a command prompt.
      Syntax: opencommandprompt [path], [command], [title], [flags]
        path:     The initial path for the command prompt.
                  Defaults to the current list path.
        command:  The command to execute. Should be prefixed with /k.
        title:    The window title.
                  Defaults to "<path> - Original location of this command prompt"
        flags: (bit field)
                  1 = Elevate (open as admin).
                      Only makes a difference if XYplorer itself is not elevated. Else it is ignored.
                      If it is not ignored then arguments "command" and "title" 
                      are ignored, i.e. they are not supported if the prompt is 
                      being elevated.
    Remarks:
      - This command can be improved later. Takes this as a first draft...
    Examples:
      opencommandprompt;
      opencommandprompt , "/k dir";
      opencommandprompt "C:\";
      opencommandprompt "C:\", 3:=1;  //elevate (using numbered argument syntax)

    * SC tagitems: Now the itemlist argument suppports CRLF as primary 
      separator. If CRLF is not present, then | is used (if present).
    + SC tagitems: Added a "flags" parameter with currently one value (1) by 
      which you can control what is returned by the function.
      Syntax: tagitems([field], [value], [itemlist], [flags])
        flags: (bit field)
              1 = Return tags of all passed/selected items.
                  Else only or the first/focused item is returned.
                  The separator 
                  ... is | when no itemlist is passed.
                  ... is | when itemlist is separated by |.
                  ... is CRLF when itemlist is separated by CRLF.
      Examples:
        - Return the tags of all selected items, separated by |:
          text tagitems("tags", , , 1);
        - Return the tags of all selected items, separated by |:  
          text tagitems("tags",  , "E:\Test\Boy.jpg|E:\Test\Cow.jpg", 1);
        - Return the tags of all selected items, separated by CRLF:
