v17.50.0215 - 2017-02-15 15:38
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   SearchTemplate
      Action: Save or load Find Files settings to/from a search template.
      Syntax: searchtemplate(name, [mode="load"], [flags=0])
        name: Template name
              - All characters allowed
              - Auto-converted to a valid filename in this location:
                <xydata>\FindTemplates\<name>.ini
              OR: 
              Full path/file name in any location you want.  
        mode: 
              load =  [default] Load template. See flags below.
              save =  Save current Find Files settings to template. Use flags 1 
                      to also save the current search results (if any).
        flags: (bit field)
              1 = cache results (on load this flag logically implies flags 2+4+8)
              2 = use stored location (on load only)
              4 = use exclude folders (on load only)
              8 = run search at once (on load only)
      Remarks:
        - Any existing template of the same name is overwritten without questions.
      Examples:
        - Save current search to "test":
          searchtemplate("test", "save");
        - Save current search to "test", store the search results as well:
          searchtemplate("test", "save", 1);
        - Load search in original location, use exclude folders, run at once:
          searchtemplate("test", , 14);
        - Load cached results (logically implies: use original location, use 
          exclude folders, run at once):
          searchtemplate("test", , 1);
        - Load the stored Find Files settings without running any search:
          searchtemplate("test");
    + Info Panel | Preview: Now the icon preview can be vertically scrolled if 
      needed.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    ! List: Attempt to fix a little refresh problem (actually a missing refresh 
      once in a while).
      Pretty radical rewrite of the whole list refresh logic that should make 
      refresh more reliable and more economic at the same time: There are less 
      refresh operations than before, but better timed. I always thought this 
      kind of smartness was already built into Windows notifications, but looks 
      like it's not.

    + SC recase enhanced: New named argument for parameter "mode":
        mode:
          n, none: Don't change anything.
      Can be useful in combination with flag 1 (set extensions to lower case).

        text recase("This is a test.HTM", "n", 1);  //This is a test.htm
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0098.
    ! List: Since v17.50.0206 - 2017-02-07 12:26 files with long extensions 
      could lack their custom icon (Custom File Icons) under certain conditions. 
      Fixed.

    + Menu View | Tab: Added command "Toggle Live Filter" (Ctrl+Alt+F3). Toggles 
      the Live Filter (No Filter / Last Filter) keeping the input focus where it 
      is. The Live Filter Box is shown if necessary when the filter is toggled 
      on.
      Notes:
        - The last Live Filter is remembered per tab.
        - If there is no last Live Filter the command does nothing.
          Status Bar message: "no filter defined".
        - The functionality is identical to pressing F3 when the focus is in the 
          Live Filter Box.
        - Upgraders will have to actively assign the default keyboard shortcut 
          (Ctrl+Alt+F3), or any other keyboard shortcut.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.85.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.85.lng is uploaded.

    * Persist Visual Filters Across Folders: Before, if this option was enabled 
      a Visual Filter could spread to another tab (either a new tab or an 
      auto-selected default tab) if the current locked tab was to be left. Not 
      anymore.
      Also new tabs that are actively (not implicitly) created will not inherit 
      any Visual Filter from the current tab anymore.
    ! Find Files and Quick Search: Since v17.50.0201 - 2017-01-31 16:46 the 
      following search pattern would crash the app:
        ? /types={:Audio}

    + Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: Now you get the basic audio properties for 
      audio files in the overwrite prompt:
        Bit Rate, Sample Rate, Channels, Length
      Note that these data are only shown for foreground file operations. XYcopy 
      (responsible for handling background file operations) does not have the 
      necessary skills to extract audio properties.
    + List | Large Tiles View: Now the basic audio properties are displayed for 
      audio files: Bit Rate, Sample Rate, Channels, Length.
    + Preview: Experimentally added a tweak to define a custom preview handler 
      for MSG files. The preview handler is identified by its GUID (i.e., you 
      really have to know what you do).
      Example:
        CustomPreviewHandlerMSG={53BEDF0B-4E5B-4183-8DC9-B844344FA104}
      Note that XYplorer wants 32-bit preview handlers.
    % List: Folders containing many files with lots of different long extensions 
      (e.g. hashes) took more time to list than other folders. Not anymore.

    + Browsing Protected Folders: Experimentally the "You don't currently have 
      permission to access this folder." prompt is popped when you get an 
      "Access Denied". After pressing "Continue" the folder will be unlocked. You now
      have to access the folder again in XYplorer to browse its contents.
      NOTE: Pressing "Continue" *permanently* changes your permissions regarding 
      this folder. There is no easy way back to the original state.
    + Live Filter Box: The Up key now focuses the list.
    * Configuration | Tabs | On dbl-click: Now you can also dbl-click an 
      inactive tab. It will be activated and then the selected action is 
      performed on it.
    * Configuration | Tabs | On middle-click: Same as above.
    ! Catalog: Error 9 on this script on an empty Catalog:

    + Find Files and Quick Search: Now the following switches support variables 
      in their values:
        /excl, /exclfile, /paths, /types
      Example:
        *.jpg;*.avi;*.mov;*.mp4;*.mpg;*.wmv /paths="*<date mmdd>*"
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Switches /excl and /exclfile now allow 
      quoting a single path. Can be useful to avoid ";" is seen as a list 
      separator, e.g.:
        *.jpg;*.png /excl="E:\Test\a;b"
    + New variable:
        <xytagdatdef>  = XYplorer default tags database path/file
      That's the one that will be loaded on tagload("");. Usually it's
      "<xydata>\tag.dat" but there are exceptions possible.
    * Configuration | Previewed Formats: Increased the clarity of the interface.

v17.50.0201 - 2017-01-31 16:46
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /paths by which you can 
      return items by the name of their parent folder of full path.
        /paths=path;path;path
      Remarks:
        - Paths are separated by ; or | (the latter takes precedence).
        - Wildcards (*, ?, #, and [groups]) are supported.
        - If path contains no "\" (backslash) then it is compared with the 
          immediate parent folder of the item in question.
        - If path contains at least one "\" (backslash) then it is compared with 
          the whole path (incl. trailing backslash!) of the item in question.
        - Paths can be quoted (useful of path contains ";").
      Examples:
        - Return all items under parents "a" or "b":
          * /paths=a;b
        - Return all TXT items under parents "a*" or "b*":
          *.txt /paths=a*;b*
        - Return all TXT items under parents with exactly one character:
          *.txt /paths=?
        - Return all items under parents "a;b" or "c;d".
          * /paths="a;b";"c;d"
        - Return all items under parents "a;b" or "c;d" (alternative method):
          * /paths=a;b|c;d
        - Return all items with "\test\" anywhere in the path:
          * /paths=*\test\*
        - Return all items with "\test\" anywhere in the path, or with a parent 
          three characters long:
          * /paths=*\test\*;???
