    + Photo: Variable <dateexif ...> now also works with RAW formats. This means 
      you now can use patterns like this in Batch Rename to get the EXIF date 
      into the names of your RAW photo files:
        Pluto-<dateexif yyyymmdd_DDD_hh-nn-ss>
    ! MLS: Two UI items were not translated anymore since a few days ago. My 
      fault. My fix.

v15.80.0208 - 2015-10-30 17:10
    + New variable <file filename>: The variable is resolved to the contents of 
      the file specified by the "filename" argument (resolved relative to the 
      Scripts path). If the file is not found or cannot be opened, the variable 
      is kept unresolved.
      This script, for example, shows the contents of the file exclude.txt:
        text <file exclude.txt>;
      This Quick Search line uses the <file filename> variable for defining the 
      excluded paths (BTW: /excl now supports CRLF as separator, but take care 
      not to mix separators in your switch):
        ?*.jpg /excl=<file exclude.txt>

v15.80.0207 - 2015-10-30 10:03
    % Thumbnails: The v15.80.0206 experiment worked. Now PDF and other non-image 
      formats will show Thumbnails, Preview, Floating Preview, and Mouse Down 
      Blow Up on more systems than before. And faster than before.
      The changes are implemented for all 4 thumbnail qualities.
      Note that this improvement needs Windows Vista or later.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.68.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.68.lng is uploaded.

v15.80.0205 - 2015-10-29 10:46
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /exclfile=... by which you can 
      exclude certain files from the search results. It's the inline equivalent 
      of excluding files via the Excluded tab on the Find Files panel (using the 
      "file:" prefix).
      Notes:
      - Syntax like /excl= switch.
      - Can be combined with the /excl= switch.
      Examples:
      - List all files beginning with a* but not PNGs and GIFs, in the current 
        path:
        ?a* /exclfile=*.png;*.gif
      - Same as above, but exclude everything with folders called "Private".
        ?a* /exclfile=*.png;*.gif /excl=\Private\
    + SC ControlPosition hanced: The Catalog scrollbar ("ScrollY C") is now 
      supported.
        echo ControlPosition("ScrollY C");

v15.80.0204 - 2015-10-28 21:41
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /excl=... by which you can 
      exclude the contents of certain paths from the search results. It's the 
      inline equivalent of the Excluded tab on the Find Files panel.      
      Notes:
      - Multiple paths can be stated, separated by | or ;.
      - The syntax of the paths is identical to the one used in the Excluded 
        tab. E.g. "Private" would match any path containing the string "Private" 
        at any position. "\Private\" would match any path containing a folder 
        named "Private" at any position. "E:\Test\Private" would exclude this 
        specific folder (and all its subfolders).
      - However, the "file:" prefix is not supported because of a potential 
        ambiguity in parsing.
      - Like with the Excluded tab, the excluded paths themselves are shown (if 
        they match the pattern), but not their contents.
      - If switch /excl is used then the Excluded tab is ignored.
      Examples:
      - This lists all JPGs in E:\Test\, excluding subfolder E:\Test\Private:
        E:\Test\?*.jpg /excl=E:\Test\Private
      - This lists all JPGs in the current path, excluding subfolders containing 
        the string "Private" or "Secret":
        ?*.jpg /excl=Private;Secret
      - This is a Branch View excluding the contents of certain paths (all 
        versions are equivalent):
        E:\Test\b\Pluto? /excl=Private;Secret /:flat
        E:\Test\b\Pluto? /excl=Private;Secret :flat
        E:\Test\b\Pluto? /excl=Private;Secret:flat
    * High Speed Thumbnails: Solved the transparency issue mentioned in 
      v15.80.0203.

v15.80.0203 - 2015-10-28 15:48
  %%% Configuration | Thumbnails | Quality: Added a new "High Speed" mode which 
      is about 3 to 5 times faster than the fastest mode before ("Fast" mode). 
      This makes XYplorer the fastest thumbnail generator we know.
      - "High Speed" needs Windows Vista or later. On XP, it will internally 
        fall back to the "Fast" mode.
      - "High Speed" currently cannot handle transparency in PNGs and GIFs. 
        Transparent areas will appear black. This may be fixed in a later 
        version.
    ! Configuration | Thumbnails | Show cached thumbnails only: Ticking it had 
      an effect also if "Configuration | Thumbnails | Cache thumbnails on disk" 
      was unticked, namely that no thumbnails at all were shown on browsing a 
      new folder. You had to actively "Refresh Thumbnails" to show them. Fixed. 
      Now if no thumbs cache is used, thumbnails are always shown independently 
      of the setting of "Show cached thumbnails only".

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: ControlPosition
      Action: Returns the position and dimensions of a control.
      Syntax: controlposition(control, [flags])
        control: The control to investigate.
                 Use same Control Short Form as returned by SC ControlAtPos.
                 It's case-insensitive (A==a).
        flags:
          0: Position is relative to screen.
          1: Position is relative to XYplorer.
        return: A string of format "X|Y|Width|Height" (no quotes; values in pixels).
          If the control is invisible, then nothing is returned.
      Remarks:
        - The Catalog scrollbar ("ScrollY C") is currently not supported.
        - Instead an additional "control" is supported: "XY" itself.
      Examples:
        echo controlposition("T");  //position and dimensions of the Tree, relative to screen
        echo controlposition("T", 1);  //position and dimensions of the Tree, relative to XY
        echo controlposition("XY");  //position and dimensions of XYplorer, relative to screen
    ! Search In List: Tags DB only searches did not work yet correctly with SIL. 
      Now they do. For example, this pattern through the Address Bar will return 
      all items among the currently selected items that are found in the tags DB:
        +?tags:*
    ! Start Up: List styles could turn out completely nuked (all unticked) on 
      partial installations (XYplorer.ini = Yes, pane.ini = No). No icons shown 
      in the list etc. Fixed. Now factory default list styles are used on 
      partial installations.
    ! List: Right-clicking an item while the list was being refreshed could lead 
      to popping the white space context menu instead of the items context menu. 
      Fixed. Now, in such a case no menu is shown instead.
    ! Toolbar: The commands "Manage Global Visual Filters..." and "Manage Global 
      Power Filters..." in both Global Visual Filter button's right-click menu 
      were not triggered when the MRU list contained in that menu surpassed a 
      certain length. Fixed.

    ! Configuration | Shell Integration | Default File Manager | XYplorer in 
      shell context menu: The current value of this setting was not retrieved 
      anymore from the registry since v15.70.0001 (2015-08-31). Same for 
      Configuration | Shell Integration | Default File Manager | XYplorer is 
      default file manager. So the checkboxes were never ticked on opening the 
      Configuration dialog. Both fixed.

      modes. Fixed.

    * Dual Pane: Removed the tweaks to customize the colors of the Line Numbers 
      column of the inactive pane:
        clrLineNumTextInactive=9211020
        clrLineNumBackInactive=15856113
      From now on these colors are automatically calculated based on the color 
      of the inactive pane.
    + SC end enhanced: Added argument to define a line breaker; defaults to <br>.
      Syntax: end condition, [message], [scope=0], [linebreaker="<br>"]
        linebreaker:  Any character sequence to be replaced by a line break.
                      Defaults to "<br>".
                      Pass "" to prevent any replacing. 
      Example:
        end True, "Bye!<br><br>Yours, Don"; msg "Still here!";      
    + Configuration | Tabs | Show 'Tab List' button: Added tweak to control the 
      position of the button.

    % Thumbnails: Thumbnails generation speed gains on quality "Configuration | 
      Thumbnails | Quality | Fast". Note that "Configuration | Thumbnails | Show 
      transparency grid" is not supported anymore with this new algorithm.
    * Tree: When you inline-rename a folder whose caption does not fit the width 
      of the Tree, the Tree is auto-scrolled so that the end of the caption is 
      visible.
      Now, when the rename is done the tree is auto-scrolled back to the 
      original position. Before, it stayed at the scrolled position.
    ! The dimensions of some ICO files were not correctly determined. Fixed.

    + SC QuickSearch: Now you can use the "Search In List" aliases # and + in 
      the path argument of QuickSearch.
      For example, this will return all TXT files among the currently selected 
      items:
        text quicksearch("txt", "+");
    ! SC rename: The flag added in v15.80.0003 had the wrong value. It should 
      have been 64 instead of 32. Here is the corrected decription:
      SC rename enhanced: Added a new value to the "flags" parameter.
      Syntax: rename [mode (b|r|s|k|e)], pattern, [preview (p)], _
                  [itemlist], [flags=1], [illegalcharsreplacewith]
        flags: (binary field, defaults to 1)
          64: Suppress the "Rename canceled." error message when user cancels 
              any dialog related to rename, e.g. the Rename Preview.
      Example:
        rename "b", "*-TEST", "p" , , 64; echo "hi";
    ! List: Erratic false "Location currently not available." message with some 
      users on some systems. Closing the ring around it.

    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /c by which the search will be 
      case-sensitive (a!=A). Corresponds to the UI setting "Match Case".
      Notes:
        - By default, Quick Search is NOT case-sensitive.
        - In Find Files the switch overwrites an unticked "Match Case". (All 
          switches overwrite the corresponding UI settings.)
      Examples:
        neko      //returns "neko" and "Neko"
        neko /c   //returns "neko" but not "Neko"
    ! Visual Filters: Using the "name:" selector internally disabled "Loose 
      Matching" (e.g.: xls = *xls*). Fixed. Now these filters are functionally 
      identical:
        |txt
        |name:txt
    ! Type Stats and Filter: <none> (No Extension) was broken. Fixed.
    ! Thumbnails: The new default sizes for Thumbs #2 (192x192 since 
      v15.40.0106) were not yet updated in configuration dialog. Fixed.
