    ! Command Line: When launching a path from command line, environment 
      variables were not parsed correctly. Fixed.
    ! Command Line: When a file was passed (not a folder) the whole thing failed 
      because of a missing backslash. Fixed.
    ! LNKs to executables in the real System32 folder did not work since 
      20140611. Fixed.

v15.40.0107 - 2015-07-27 21:39
    + Special Properties: Added two new properties for photos (all read from 
      Exif data). Of course, they are all available in XY variables as well as in 
      Special Property Columns and as Special Properties in Custom Columns.
        
        Name              Example for Usage as Variable
        ----------------------------------------------------
        Exposure Bias     text "<prop #image.exposurebias>";
        Exposure Program  text "<prop #image.exposureprog>";
      
      The new properties are implemented for the following image file formats:
        - jpg.jpeg.jpe.tif.tiff.psd.psb
        - all RAW formats      
      FYI, the XY Special Properties are much faster than the Shell Extended 
      Properties. And another plus: They are independent of those volatile 
      shell property indices that appear to change with every Windows release.
    > FYI, Exposure Program can have any of the following values:
        ""          'Not defined
        "Manual"    'Manual
        "Normal"    'Normal program
        "Aperture"  'Aperture priority
        "Shutter"   'Shutter priority
        "Creative"  'Creative program (biased toward depth of field)
        "Action"    'Action program (biased toward fast shutter speed)
        "Portrait"  'Portrait mode (for closeup photos with the background out of focus)
        "Landscape" 'Landscape mode (for landscape photos with the background in focus)
    * Info Panel | Meta: Now photos with EXIF show Exposure Program and Exposure 
      Bias. Metering Mode has been removed.
    + Floating Preview: Added "Open With..." to the context menu. Open XY's 
      Portable Open With menu.
    + Floating Preview: In a playful mood I added Invert and Grayscale to the 
      Advanced Options. Do with it what you want. :)

v15.40.0105 - 2015-07-26 21:03
    + View | Caches: Added command "Create Missing Thumbnails". This had already 
      been present in the context menu of the View-related Toolbar buttons. Now 
      it's a main menu command and can have a keyboard shortcut.
    + Photo Data: Added Exposure Bias to the data (shown in Tiles and Floating 
      Preview).
    + Floating Preview: Added a tweak to control the white border width by 
      absolute pixels. E.g. for a 2-pixel border:
        FPWhiteBorderPixels=2
      If this tweak is set (is not 0) then the tweak FPWhiteBorderPercent is 
      ignored.
    ! SC selfilter: The following line would not select all items containing a 
      blank but all items in the list.
        selfilter " ";
      Fixed.

v15.40.0104 - 2015-07-26 16:30
    * Floating Preview: Slightly reorganized the right-click menu. Added a 
      direct link to the "Avanced Options...".
    * Toolbar | Paper Folders | Allow Zombies: Now, if enabled, then Paper 
      Folder Zombies are listed in search results of Paper Folders, so you can 
      now search for names or tags of non-existing items.
      Also Find Files Caching will now remember those Paper Folder Zombies.
    ! Find Files: The following patterns did not work as expected. Fixed.
        lent:12
        len:100
    ! Find Files Without Extension: The test for no-extension patterns was not 
      alright. A pattern "Star.Trek." was wrongly seen as a no-extension pattern and 
      hence would never match anything since it also included a dot in the 
      middle. Fixed. Now, the ONLY dot in a pattern has to be the last character 
      to make it a no-extension pattern.
      The same fix has been applied to Visual Filters, Custom File Icons, and 
      Portable File Associations.

v15.40.0103 - 2015-07-25 13:19
    + Find Files | Date: Now you got buttons to pop the Date Picker.
    + Tag Search: Added tweak to allow partial matches in tag search. There are 
      three values:
        
        TagsFindPartialMatch=0      match the whole tag (factory default)
                                    e.g. pattern "rock" matches tag "rock"
        
        TagsFindPartialMatch=1      match any words in tag
                                    e.g. pattern "rock" matches tag "rock and roll"
        
        TagsFindPartialMatch=2      match any part of tag
                                    e.g. pattern "rock" matches tag "rocking" or "sprock"
                                    
      The tweak affects Quick Search as well as Find Files | Tags. It affects 
      only tags, not labels or comments.
      If a pattern has wildcards and there is NO verbatim flag (/v), then the 
      tweak is ignored and matching is done against the present wildcards.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.63.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.63.lng is uploaded.

    * Histogram: Now it's a toggle and remembered between images and sessions. 
      Renamed it to "Show Histogram" (Ctrl+H @ Floating Preview).
    + Tweak to create the histogram rather from the original image than from the 
      preview:
        FPHistogramOriginal=1
      Will take notably more time, of course, on huge originals.

    * Floating Preview | Histogram: Now the median is marked by coloring. 
      Separates the dark half of the pixels from the bright half.
    * Floating Preview | Histogram: Now the mean is marked by coloring. The 
      Histogram bar at the mean is colored darker.
    > Floating Preview | Histogram: Note that the histogram is always created on 
      the currently visible preview pixels. So if you just view a part of the 
      picture you will get a histogram just of that part.
    ! Floating Preview | Histogram: Improved algorithm for images with extreme 
      peaks on certain values.

v15.40.0010 - 2015-06-26 16:43
    + Info Panel | Find Files | Date: Added an experimental Date Picker to the 
      "between" and "and/add" fields. Press F1 when in either of the fields. The 
      rest should be self-explaining.
      Credits for the basics of the Date Picker code go to T. Jackson who posted 
      this code to the public domain in 2006.
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Date: The values in the "between" and "and/add" 
      fields are not normalized anymore, i.e. whatever you enter will be left 
      unchanged. Before, dates were rewritten in the current system date format.
    * Tweak CustomCopyNoLog: Removed the message. Too intrusive.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0077.
    ! Visual Filters and Quick Search: Did not handle "time-less" ISO dates 
      alright. Now this works:
        dateM: 2015-05-18
      FYI, this always worked:
        dateM: 2015-05-18 - 2015-05-27

v15.40.0009 - 2015-06-25 17:17
    * Custom Copy: Removed the experimental changes from v15.40.0006.
    * Custom Copy: Instead added a tweak to suppress creating a log for jobs 
      from a certain number of files upwards.
      This e.g. would suppress logging for jobs of 1 million files or more:
        CustomCopyNoLog=1000000
      This e.g. would suppress logging for jobs for any number of files:
        CustomCopyNoLog=1
      This e.g. would NOT suppress logging:
        CustomCopyNoLog=0
      If logging is suppressed then you get a warning:
        "No log will be created for this job (# files)."
      Use 1: If a log is created then with each copied file around 100-400 bytes 
      (depending on the path lengths) of additional memory are used up. In 
      certain contexts this can lead to an "Out of String Space" error. 
      Suppressing the log will completely eliminate this memory usage during the 
      copy.
      Note that only one user ever reported this error happening, but hey, here 
      is the tweak just for him.
      Use 2: Suppressing the log will slightly speed up the job.      
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0076.

    * Custom Copy: Experimentally log data are created only for jobs with 25,000 
      or less files now. Reason: The log data might be too heavy on the string 
      memory in some contexts.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0075.
