v16.50.0203 - 2016-04-06 16:56
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: SortByList
      Action: Apply a custom sort order to the current list.
      Syntax: sortbylist list, [separator=CRLF]
        list:       list of items (with or without path, case-insensitive)
        separator:  [optional] Separates the items in the passed list.
                    Defaults to CRLF (line feed).
      Remarks:
      - You can pass the complete list but you don't have to. Just pass the 
        items you want to have on top, in the desired order.
      - The items are moved to the top one by one as if mouse-dragged via manual 
        sorting, so everything between the old and the new postion is moved one 
        step down.
      Examples:
      - Move one file to the top:
        sortbylist "test.jpg";
      - Move two files to the top:
        sortbylist "test.jpg|thumbs.db", "|";
      - Move all filenames in the clipboard (be it as text (Ctrl+P) or as items 
        (Ctrl+C)) to the top:
        sortbylist <clp>;
      - Move the currently selected items to the top:
        sortbylist <get selecteditemsnames>;
    ! SC FormatList: Quotes in the list argument were not handled as expected. 
      Fixed. Any quotes within the list argument are now seen as normal 
      characters. They have no special "quoting function".
    ! SC ReplaceList: Replacing did not work when the searchlist was just 1 
      letter and the replacelist was empty. Fixed. Example:
        text replacelist("abc", "a", ""); //"bc" (was "abc" before the fix)

v16.50.0202 - 2016-04-06 10:41
    ! SC getsectionlist: The function suffered from a limit in the archaic
      GetPrivateProfileSection API ("The maximum profile section size is 32,767 
      characters"). Fixed. Wrote my own function. No limits.
      FYI, you could reach such a limit e.g. when performing Search in List on a 
      set of search results, and having that search stored in the INI file.
    ! View | Suspend Auto-Refresh: Would not work under certain conditions. Fixed.

v16.50.0201 - 2016-04-05 20:40
    * PDF Help: Changed page size from letter (8.5 x 11 in = 215.9 x 279.4 mm) 
      to Din A4 (210 x 297 mm).
    * Time Stamping: The date edit box on the Properties tab auto-disappeared on 
      an auto-refresh event. Not anymore.
    % Branch View: Improved the small icon.
    ! File | File Special | Swap Names: Generated a success status message even 
      if the operation failed (say, the items were UAC protected). Fixed.
    ! Find Files | Contents: In v14.30.0302 - 2014-08-11 21:12 the logic had 
      been changed so that also unknown text file types are searched when 
      content type is set to "Text".
      However, also know Image files (and other file categories) would be 
      included here, which of course should not be the case. Fixed.
    ! Scripting | Foreach: Foreach aborted unexpectedly after handling a token 
      containing an odd number of quotes. Fixed.
      FYI, any quotes within the ListOfTokens in a Foreach statement are seen as 
      normal characters. They have no special "quoting function". This was not 
      100% implemented before the fix.
    ! Tweak FolderThumbsShell did not work anymore for most folders since 
      probably 20151029. Fixed.
    ! Shell-made folder thumbnails still showed a black background where 
      they should be transparent. Fixed.
    ! Image dimensions: Certain JPEGs were not correctly parsed. Fixed.
    ! SC Tab: Visual Filters, Quick Searches, and Quick Search switches didn't 
      work anymore. Fixed. Now you can do things like this again:
        Tab("new", "%computer%?tags:*");
        Tab("new", "%desktop%|x*");
    ! Hide protected operating system files: Was not honored by Address Bar and 
      Breadcrumb Bar dropdowns, and in Tree Node Crumbs.
    ! Time Stamping: The combination of "PM" with 12 hours in the time part 
      resulted in a date 12 hours too late. E.g.:
        timestamp , "3/23/2016 12:24:33 PM";
      Fixed.

    + Links: Now right-clicking the expansion icon works as expected, so you can 
      now use the Links even with the collapsed Links folder.
    + Links: Now you can also jump to / open the links via the Breadcrumb Bar.
    + Tweak to enable the autocomplete dropdown match list in Address Bar also 
      for UNC paths (by default they are exlcuded from this service because it 
      takes too long on unavailable network locations):
        AutoCompleteOnUNC=1
    * Miscellaneous | Tree | Optimize Tree (Shift+Numpad Divide): Now the Links 
      folder is spared by this command.
      The Links folder is also spared by the AutoOptimizeTreeRadical tweak, i.e. 
      it will not auto-collapse under any condition.
    ! Configuration | Mouse Down Blow Up | On right mouse down: If enabled then 
      right-clicking a non-focused item in the List that did NOT pop a blow up 
      would pop the shell context menu of the focused item instead. Confusing! 
      This will not happen anymore. Instead nothing will happen.
    ! Links: More glitches fixed.

    + Links: Now links to executables (bat;cmd;com;exe;scr) will run the linked 
      executable on click.
      You can as well can drop files onto those links to open them with the 
      linked executable.
    + Links: Now it works fine with Locked Tree. Smooth treeless browsing.
    * Links: Removed "Recent Places" from the list. It only makes sense when 
      there is a "Recent Places" special folder. We don't have one yet.
    ! Preview: Could still get confused with a certain combination of preview 
      format exclusions and inclusions. Fixed.

v16.40.0002 - 2016-03-12 12:56
  +++ Tree: Experimentally added a "Links" folder to the top of the tree. It's 
      functionally quite similar to the "Favorites" folder in Explorer and shows 
      the same items: all and only LNK files located in %userprofile%\Links 
      (any other things in this location are ignored).
      Like in Explorer the "Links" folder can feature LNKs to folders and also 
      LNKs to files:
      - On clicking a folder LNK you jump to that folder in the Tree.
      - On clicking a file LNK you jump the file's folder in the Tree, and then 
        to the file in the list (Explorer is different here: it will open the 
        file).
      More properties:
      - You can drop items on folder LNKs (but not on file LNKs).
      - You can drop items on the "Links" folder itself to add them as folder 
        LNK or file LNK.
      - These LNKs are not stored in the Mini Tree. So you either see all 
        ("Links" expanded) or none ("Links" collapsed). Mini Tree always starts 
        with the node collapsed. Might be changed later.
      Other Remarks:
      - Other than in Explorer, the "Links" folder is positioned below the "This 
        PC" node, not above it.
      - In Explorer you can manually sort the items. This is currently not 
        supported in XY.
      - There is no GUI toggle yet; the Links folder is currently always shown 
        in Maxi Tree. In Mini Tree you add by going to "Links" (might not work 
        in non-English Windows).
  +++ Tree: Now the special folder "Downloads" can be shown in the Tree right 
      under "This PC", just like "Desktop", "Documents", and "<User>".
    + Configuration | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List: Added option "Show 
      Documents folder". Tick it to show the special folder "Downloads" in the 
      folder tree.
      Note: This folder is available only from Vista onwards.
    - Favorites | Special System Folders: Removed item "INetCache" (#571). 
      Remnant of long gone days.
    - Favorites | Special System Folders: Removed item "Network Shortcuts" 
      (#572). Also pretty useless.
    - Favorites | Special System Folders: Removed item "Favoriten (All Users)" 
      (#562). Returned the same path as Favorites | Special System Folders | 
      Favoriten (#555), so it was useless (Win8.1, and probably later).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.73.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.73.lng is uploaded.

    * MLS: Some controls in various places have been widened a bit to make space 
      for Russian and maybe other languages.
    ! Tiles Views: With file dates shown as age, the age shown in the tiles data 
      could get out of sync with reality after a list refresh. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: When the process errored out for whatever reason then 
      "Preserve Item Dates" did not preserve all dates of all created target 
      folders. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0079.
