v26.50.0102 - 2024-10-21 20:47
    + Hover Box | Folder Contents Preview: Added a tweak to show the deep contents of the 
      entire branch in the status section of the hover box when hovering over a folder:
        HoverBoxFolderDeepContents=1
      Notes:
      - Since this can take a while for large branches, there is an additional safety 
        belt: You also have to hold down the SHIFT key to actually get the deep scan.
      - You can abort the deep scan by pressing ESC.
      - Drives roots are excluded here. They are never deep scanned.
      - If a deep scan was performed, you will see a "Deep contents:" header in the status 
        section.
      - Folder size caching is used if enabled; when cached values are displayed, the 
        header is "Deep contents (cached):".
      - If you enable "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show 
        Hover Box | Only while the shift key is held down" you will of course always get 
        the deep scan with the Hover Box. Just a slightly unfortunate collision of 
        conditions.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Point to select: Did not 
      work properly with less than half visible thumbnails or tiles, and did not work when 
      the mouse hovered over the cell but not the thumbnail itself. Both fixed.

    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0261.
    ! SC Sync: The filter of folders did not filter all folders that should be filtered.
      The claim "If a folder does not pass the filter, the whole branch is out." was false 
      for subfolders of the filtered folder if it was not directly under the top folder. 
      For example, syncing D:\Folders\ with a filter "-debug\" did still copy any files 
      under D:\Folders\Filled\Debug\Temp\. Fixed.

      Exif data in photo files. Two formats are supported:
        echo get("exif", "gps");    //coords, eg: 51°10'41.8"N 1°49'35.9"W
        echo get("exif", "gpsdec"); //decimal, eg: 51.178278, -1.826639

    % Content-Based Folder Icons: Revised one of the 6 icons in the release package:
        XYicon_FolderGeneric.ico
      This is now 100% the generic folder icon in Windows 11. The previous version was a 
      little darker.
    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Toolbar bookmarks did not yet support the /t switch 
      (branches with tagged items) right after startup.

    + Menu Tags: Added command "Remove Items from Database". Select it to remove all 
      selected list items from the tags database, i.e. remove all their labels, tags, 
      comments and extra tags.
      Useful. Without this command, you'd have to remove each label, tag, comment, and 
      extra tag individually, or go through the back door in Configuration | Information | 
      Tags | Options... | Edit Tagged Items...

v26.50.0004 - 2024-10-09 18:52
    ! Custom File Icons: The /n switch did not handle junctions correctly. Fixed.
    > Custom File Icons: FYI, determining whether a branch has files (/n switch) can get 
      tricky if down in the branch a junction points to a parent of itself. Just following 
      this will lead to an endless recursion (which will very quickly crash the app). 
      Solution: In this, almost illegally weird scenario, the function will *assume* that 
      there are files in the branch. This is better than a false "no files" report.

    + Menu View | Show Items: Added toggle "Show Custom File Icons". This finally allows 
      you to assign a keyboard shortcut. There is even a default one now: Alt+F9
    * Enable Custom File Icons: Renamed to "Show Custom File Icons" everywhere.
    + Custom File Icons: Added one more icon to the package, XYicon_FolderTagged.ico, a 
      pinkish version of the generic folder icon. To be used as the default choice in:
        *\ /t><xypath>\XYicon_FolderTagged.ico //matches all branches with tagged items
    + Tabs: Added a tweak to control the underlining of the caption of locked tabs:
        TabLockedUnderlined=0
      The factory default and previous hard setting is TabLockedUnderlined=1. Now you can 
      switch it off
    * Catalog: Now a location item pointing to ".." (it will go up) gets the "Up" button 
      icon instead of a folder icon that happens to be above the current app folder.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.191.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.191.lng is uploaded.

v26.50.0001 - 2024-10-08 14:56
    + Custom File Icons: Added another special switch /t to match all branches that 
      contain any tagged items, for example:
        *\ /t><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGreen.ico //matches all branches with tagged items
      Notes:
      - The check is only performed against the tags database, the tagged files themselves 
        are not accessed in any way. It's therefore very fast, but the results will 
        include any orphans in your tags database (orphans can occur when other programs 
        change the names or locations of tagged items).
      - It's all about the contents of the folder. Whether or not the folder itself is 
        tagged is irrelevant.
      - The /t icon takes precedence over any other content-based folder icon. The order 
        of the definitions is irrelevant here.
        However, other (non content-based) Custom File Icons will always overwrite any 
        content-based folder icon.
      - If such a CFI is defined and enabled, the (un)tagging of items will be a bit 
        slower than usual, because the folder icons in the whole interface have to be 
        checked for necessary adjustments.

v26.50.0000 - 2024-10-07 17:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder Icons Based On Content. Now you can define a custom folder icon for branches 
      that do not contain files, but may contain folders. This icon is used everywhere, in 
      the folder tree, file list, all menus and drop-down lists, breadcrumb bars, address 
      bar, etc., so you can immediately see if a folder is just an empty structure without 
      any files.
  +++ Skip Custom Columns. Custom columns are often time-consuming, especially when 
      scripts are involved. This new option allows you to temporarily disable them when 
      the extra information is not needed.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
