v16.30.0001 - 2016-02-24 14:09
    + Custom File Icons: Now generic file types are supported, e.g. {:Image}. 
      For example, this line would set icon "Look.ico" to all image files:
        {:Image}>Look.ico
      Note that generic file types can be combined with other patterns:
        txt;{:Image};xys>Look.ico
    > Custom File Icons: Apparently this is missing from the docs: A pattern 
      "txt" is interpreted as "*.txt", so you can spare some typing here.
    + Scripting | Permanent Variables: Now you can edit the variable values 
      after dbl-clicking them (or right-click / Show Value) in the list.
      BTW, it's not possible to edit variable values from the variable list in 
      the Step Dialog. You better totally forget about that.
    ! Font Preview: Failed with "Not a valid font resource" at certain OTF 
      fonts. Fixed.

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

      and a hardcore gallery mode without captions, padding, or white space. The 
      classic wall of pictures. (Pro Edition Only)

v16.20.0308 - 2016-02-22 18:57
    + Raw View: Now you can customize the font used in Raw View. I added a 4th 
      font option to the Raw View's context menu by which you can select the 
      font set in Configuration | Fonts | Edit Text into the Raw View.
      In other words, now you can customize the font used in Raw View via 
      Configuration | Fonts | Edit Text.
      Note that you should choose a fixed space font (aka mono space) else the 
      internal layout of Raw View will break.
    + Variable <get alias [name]>: Added a shorthand for it: <@[name]>.
      So now, instead of <get alias icons> you can do <@icons>. 
    * Updated the help file.

v16.20.0307 - 2016-02-21 13:07
    + Floating Preview: Added a "Color Histogram" (Ctrl+R) toggle to the 
      Advanced Options menu.
    % Floating Preview: Improved the histogram algorithms. Color and Luminosity 
      Histogram now use the same scaling so that you now can nicely compare the 
      relationship between RGB colors and luminosity (using the new Ctrl+R 
      toggle).

v16.20.0306 - 2016-02-20 18:28
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: ThumbsConf
      Action: Set or retrieve various thumbnail related settings.
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding"])
        settings: Comma-separated list of the following values:
          ShowCaption:  0 or 1
          ZoomToFill:   0 or 1
          Style:        0 - 4 ("Plain" - "Frame with Shadow")
          Padding:      0 - 7 (= pixels)
      Remarks:
        - Leave out any values that should not be touched.
        - For Boolean values (0 or 1) you can pass "!" to mean "toggle" (just 
          like with SC SetLayout).
      Examples:
        echo thumbsconf(); // just return current settings, e.g.: 1,0,4,2
        thumbsconf("0,1,0,0"); // extreme gallery mode
        thumbsconf("1,0,4,2"); // pretty regular mode
        thumbsconf("1,,0"); //just enable ShowCaption and set Style to "Plain"
        thumbsconf("!"); //just toggle ShowCaption
        thumbsconf(",!"); //just toggle ZoomToFill

v16.20.0305 - 2016-02-19 18:11
    + Floating Preview: Added tweak to control the histogram type.
        FPHistogramType=0     //Color Histogram
        FPHistogramType=1     //Luminosity Histogram
      Color Histogram is the new factory default.
    * Floating Preview | Color Histogram: Now the histogram has a slight 
      brightness gradient from left to right, similar as e.g. in Lightroom. 
      Gives a better impression of what it's about.
    ! Variable <date> not resolved anymore since 20151125. Fixed.
      Now this works again as expected:
        echo <date>; //19.02.2016 16:43:46  (German locale)
        text format(<date>, "yyyy"); //2016
    ! Scripting | Include: Included file were not always found in the path of 
      the including script file. Fixed. Now this is the first place to look.

v16.20.0303 - 2016-02-18 22:39
    + Floating Preview | Histogram: Now the histogram shows the three color 
      channels (RGB) individually.
    ! List: The thumbnails cache was not marked dirty and hence not written to 
      disk right after individual thumbnails had been refreshed, with the result 
      that it was totally redone on next browse. Fixed. (Bug was born 20160207)

    ! List: Mouse Down Blow Up was malpositioned if done on thumbnails of 
      shortcuts (LNK) to images. Fixed.
    ! SC delete: Error 9 when trying to delete a drive. Fixed. You cannot delete 
      a drive. Now simply nothing happens if you try.

v16.20.0301 - 2016-02-16 19:09
    + Floating Preview | Advanced Options menu: Added an option field to control 
      the group of files in which you navigate when going Next/Previous.
      - Navigate by Extension:  Next file has same extension as the current.
      - Navigate by Category:   Next file is in same category as the current.
      - Navigate All Files      Next file is the next in the list.
      Note that "Navigate by Category" (Image files, Text files, Office files, 
      etc) had been the hard-coded default before. It's still the factory 
      default.
    + Configuration | Tabs | Tab captions | Custom: Added placeholder <parent> 
      which is resolved to the parent folder of the tab's folder.
      Example:
        <parent>\<folder>

v16.20.0203 - 2016-02-15 16:44
    + Added tweak to suppress the suffixing of "Z" to UTC filetimes in List,
      Info Panel, and Reports.
        ZuluNoSuffix=1
    - List | Type Ahead Find: Removed the change from v16.20.0201 - 2016-02-04 
      16:38. It had undesired side effects, did not add much good in return, and 
      was generally a stupid idea.
    ! Find Files: Finding files in multiple network drives failed with Error 9. 
      Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Tree and List | Tree | Show localized folder names: 
      Special folder icons were not displayed in the tree with this setting 
      enabled. Fixed.

v16.20.0202 - 2016-02-07 17:18
    + Preview, Floating Preview, Thumbnails, MDBU, SC SaveThumb(): Now they all 
      make use of embedded thumbnails as last resort with Photoshop files (PSD 
      and PSB).
      Note that the above works independently of the PreviewPSDEmbeddedThumb 
      tweak. That tweak just controls whether embedded thumbnails get priority 
      over shell thumbnails (i.e. any installed thumbnails handlers).

v16.20.0201 - 2016-02-04 16:38
    + List | Type Ahead Find: Now you can reverse the direction by holding Shift.
      FYI, this is not supported in Tree because holding Shift while changing 
      location should open a new tab by XYplorer tradition.
    * Tree and List | Type Ahead Find: Now if the found item is out of view it 
      is auto-scrolled into top position. Before, it was auto-scrolled into 
      bottom position.
    ! Menu Go | Recent Locations...: Did not honor the TabReuseTabs tweak. Fixed.

      quickly show/hide those Desktop.ini and Thumbs.db files.

    ! Find Files: Switch /types did not work here yet. Fixed.
    ! SC replacelist: Lonely double-quotes in the "replacelist" argument lead to 
      undesired parsing results. Fixed. Now such a "replacelist" is parsed dumb 
      (without smartly minding any double-quoting).
