v17.40.0207 - 2017-01-14 16:10
    + SC toolbar enhanced: Now it supports the "extra large" button size.
      Syntax: toolbar([buttons], [size])
        size:    [optional]
                  0 = small
                  1 = large
                  2 = extra large
      Examples:
        toolbar(, 0);  // switch to small buttons
        toolbar(, 1);  // switch to large buttons
        toolbar(, 2);  // switch to extra large buttons
    ! Find Files: Searching on multiple drives referred to by volume labels did 
      not work correctly anymore since 20161024 (the first drive in the list was 
      wrongly parsed). Fixed.
    ! Audio Preview: Overflow error was possible with certain media. Fixed.    
    ! Tags: There was a double-drawback of the "Use Volume Serials" storage method.
      1)  If the drive is not found on XY startup, the serial cannot be resolved 
          to a drive letter.
          Problems start to surface when you plug in a drive while XY is 
          running. Tagged items on this drive would not be shown as tagged since 
          the in-memory tags still carry the unresolved serial.
      2)  If the drive is not found on XY exit, the drive letter cannot be 
          resolved to a serial.
          Problems start to surface when you plug in a drive and it assigned a 
          new drive letter by the system. Tagged items on this drive would not 
          be shown since the in-memory tags still carry the old drive letter.
       Well, both issues have been fixed: In the event of a drive being added or 
       removed the in-memory tags are updated on the fly accordingly.

v17.40.0206 - 2017-01-13 20:36
  +++ Toolbar: Now it can have extra large buttons (48x48 pixels). Increases 
      toolbar usability on high-resolution screens.
    * Tools | Customize Toolbar: Replaced the "Large Icons" checkbox by a 
      dropdown with 3 options: Small, Large, Extra large.
      Also enlarged the whole dialog somewhat, and redesigned the bottom control 
      field.
    ! Property Columns and SC property(): Audio and Image properties were not 
      returned for user-added file types (since 20161207). Fixed.
    ! Property Columns and SC property(): Certain general media properties like 
      Length were not returned for Video files (since 20161207). Fixed.

    * List: In Thumbs view, when focus is in the penultimate row but no item 
      lives right below that position, and you press Down, then focus will move 
      to the last item in the list. Before, it would stay where it is.
    % Smart Dropdown Buttons: The popup menus could experience heavy delays when 
      unavailable network resources were passed to them. No more.
  $$$ XYplorerFree: The XYplorer Free Edition has been discontinued. It lived 
      for three years but the extra work grew too much to handle. New releases 
      became rare, and too much time and energy was drawn away from the main 
      project. Another reason is that the free edition simply was too good, 
      which was unfair to those who paid.

    ! Selection Filter: A prefixed ! (Boolean "not") in the selection filter, 
      and also some other pattern modifiers, were not indicated in the status 
      bar message. Fixed.
    ! Recycle Bin: When using Explorer to drag and drop files from RB into XY, 
      the names of the resulting files were the recycled names like $RUHDAN8.pdf 
      instead of the original names. Fixed.

    > Tip: Search pattern to find items
            with trailing spaces: "* "    (with the quotes)
            with trailing dots:   "*."    (with the quotes)
    ! Support of filenames ending with space: Deleting such files did not work 
      yet in all contexts. Fixed.
    ! MLS: Minor capitalization glitch in "Stepping through a Script" dialog. 
      Fixed.

v17.40.0201 - 2016-12-21 14:47
    + Support of filenames ending with dot or space: Those filenames are invalid 
      in the Windows name space and the shell cannot do anything with them: 
      Delete, rename, move... it will all fail with File Explorer (and many 
      other file managers including yesterday's XYplorer).
      NTFS, however, permits such names, and there are ways to create them. So a 
      good file manager should enable you to do something with those weird 
      files, at least to rename them to something that Windows can understand.
      XYplorer now can do it. Delete, rename, move... it all works.
      However, since those filenames are something that does not really belong 
      into a neat Windows file system, XYplorer does not allow you to *create* 
      such files. In fact it's highly recommended that you rename or remove them 
      as soon as you meet them (which, for most users, will not happen very 
      often if at all).
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0093.
    ! Configuration | Startup & Exit | Autosave settings after this many 
      minutes: Autosave would not happen if the Windows session was older than 
      25 days. Fixed.

v17.40.0107 - 2016-12-13 15:23
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   ID3Tag
      Action: Write ID3v1 tags to files that support this. Return the current tags.
      Syntax: id3tag([file], [tagslist], [separator="|"])
        file:   File to tag.
                Defaults to the current file.
        tagslist:   [optional] List of tags to write.
                    Format:
                      Name=Value|Name=Value|...
                    Supported names and max length of values in ID3v1:
                      title       30 characters
                      artist      30 characters
                      album       30 characters
                      year         4 characters
                      comments    28 characters
                      track       0-255 (numeric)
                      genre       0-255 (numeric)
                    The names are case-insensitive (A==a).
                    The order is irrelevant.
        separator:  [optional] Separates the tags in the passed tagslist.
                    Defaults to "|" (pipe).
        return: The current tags (before the tagging).
      Examples:
        id3tag(, "album=On The Beach|artist=Neil Young"); //tags the current file
        id3tag(, "ARTIST=Neil Young|ALBUM=On The Beach"); //identical to above
        text id3tag();  //just return the ID3v1 tags of the current file
        text id3tag("E:\Test\Sugar.mp3"); //return the ID3v1 tags of that file
      Remarks:
        - Only the tags you pass are written, any other tags are left untouched.
        - Tags "track" and "genre" are written and returned as numbers.
        - Should work with all files that support ID3v1 tags, e.g. MP3, MP4, M4A.      
    * Scripting | Step Dialog: Now it's wider and higher on larger screens. Also 
      removed the superfluous label "Script:" from the top of the dialog.
    ! Links Folder: Under certain conditions (e.g. ejecting a removable drive) 
      the items in the folder could be doubled. Fixed.

    + Ignore Diacritics: Now Arabic diacritics are supported.
    % Shell Properties: Added a bit of smartness that should increase of the 
      overall speed of the shell property columns. Now audio props are only 
      polled for audio files, and image props only for image files (based on 
      extensions).
      Tip: For columns generally the use of XY's Special Properties is 
      recommended because they are much faster than the Shell Properties.

    + Info Panel | Tags: If you changed any tags and select a new file (or 
      change to a new folder, or switch to the other pane, or exit the app) but 
      did not click Apply first, you now are prompted to apply the changes:
        Apply Changed Tags?
        Click OK to apply the changed tags now.
      On Cancel the changes are discarded and the interrupted operation 
      continues.
    + Added tweak to auto-apply changed tags in info panel. If the tweak is 
      enabled then tags are applied without the above "Apply Changed Tags?" 
      prompt.
        TagsAutoApply=1
    + Info Panel | Tags | Label: Now you can also open the dropdown by clicking
