v14.70.0002 - 2014-12-16 21:23
    + Special Properties: Added five 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
        --------------------------------------------------
        Camera Model    text "<prop #image.cameramodel>";
        Focal Length    text "<prop #image.focallength>";
        F-Stop          text "<prop #image.fstop>";
        Exposure Time   text "<prop #image.exposuretime>";
        ISO Speed       text "<prop #image.isospeed>";
      
      The new properties are implemented for the following image file formats:
        - jpg.jpeg.jpe.tif.tiff
        - 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.
    % Tiles Views: Showing Photo Data is now much faster than before: It's now 
      retrieved by the XY Special Properties engine instead of using the slow 
      Shell Extended Properties.
    * View | Columns | New Column: Renamed to "Add Column". The newly added 
      column is called "(Undefined)". Before, it was called "New".
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.55.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.55.lng is uploaded.

    ! Configuration | Templates | Incremental affix: The changes from 
      v14.60.0221 were not yet implemented to XYcopy. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0062.
    ! Tiles Views with Photo Data: Fixed a logic bug in the photo data cache. Now 
      switching back and forth between Tiles and other views is much faster, 
      actually instantaneous.
    ! MDBU of animated GIFs: The main window lost input focus after closing the 
      blow up. Fixed.

v14.70.0000 - 2014-12-15 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Duplicate File Finder. Now you can compare directory trees and easily 
      check supposedly mirrored folder structures on two different drives.
  +++ Contents to Clipboard. Now you can copy the textual contents of files to 
      the clipboard with a single command.
  +++ Enhanced Tiles Views. Now the photo data shown for JPEG and RAW formats 
      include the Exif Date, i.e. the exact date/time when each photo was taken.

v14.60.0221 - 2014-12-15 07:45
    * Tree: Now you can copy a folder into its own parent and the copy is 
      auto-renamed by the shell if "Configuration | File Operations | Custom 
      Copy Operations | Use Custom Copy" is OFF. Before, you got a message that 
      the operation is not allowed.
    * Configuration | Templates | Incremental affix: Now the following formats 
      are allowed and processed as (probably) expected:
        Templates             Examples
        ----------------------------------------------
        Copy of *             Copy of File.png
                              Copy of File (1).png
                              Copy of File (2).png
         - Copy
                              File - Copy.png
                              File - Copy (1).png
                              File - Copy (2).png
      This enhancement allows you to simulate Windows own way to handle name 
      collisions.

v14.60.0220 - 2014-12-14 18:25
    + Show Photo Data: Reorganized the data and added one field: Exif Date (date 
      when photo was taken) with full precision down to the seconds in ISO 8601 
      format. So now it's six data in three lines:
        Camera Model
        Focal Length / F-Stop / Exposure time / ISO Speed
        Exif Date

v14.60.0217 - 2014-12-11 18:36
    + Menu View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views: Experimentally 
      (not officially documented) added a way to apply any of the defined Folder 
      Views to the current folder (just ad hoc and temporarily, without making 
      it the permanent view for this folder): Hold CTRL while you OK the dialog.
      That way you can have an arsenal of Folder Views from which you can quite 
      easily select one for instant use. Cool.
    ! Paper Folders: Did not support Folder View Settings if "Always Show Path 
      Column" was enabled for Paper Folders (which unfortunately is also the 
      factory default). Fixed.

    + Menu Help: Added toggle "Command IDs on Menu". Tick it to show the command 
      IDs in the main menu (and where they are featured in context menus).
      FYI, all commands that can be assigned a keyboard shortcut have an 
      internal command ID which can be used in scripting to refer to the 
      command.
    ! Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Mouse | Single click on icon opens 
      list items: The clickable area on thumbnails was far too small. Fixed.
    ! Large Tiles View: Unnecessarily large in Drives mode where there are no 
      thumbnails or photo data. Fixed.

v14.60.0209 - 2014-12-08 20:22
    + SC tab enhanced: New operation "move". Moves a tab to a new position.
      The "data" parameter has the new position (first position is 1; defaults 
      to 1). Position 1 is the first position, 2 the 2nd etc. Position 0 (zero) 
      is the last position. Positions smaller than 0 are calculated from the 
      right end: -1 = pre-last position etc. Positions higher than the number of 
      tabs are treated like zero: tab is moved to the last position.
      The "index" parameter can be used to define the tab to move. If missing 
      then the current tab is moved.
      Examples:
        tab("move", 1);     //move current tab to 1st position
        tab("move");        //(same as above)
        tab("move", 4);     //move current tab to 4th position
        tab("move", 4, 2);  //move 2nd tab to 4th position
        tab("move", 0);     //move current tab to last position
        tab("move", -1);    //move current tab to pre-last position
    * SC selfilter: Selecting items by their line number got slightly different 
      factory defaults, and step=0 is not possible anymore but internally set to 
      1 (the previous functionality is covered by SC sel):
      Syntax: selfilter [pattern], [type (f|d)], [column], [add]
        pattern: [start=1],[step=1]
        column:   #
      Examples:
        selfilter "3", , "#";   //select all from position 3
        selfilter "3,", , "#";  //(same as above)
        selfilter "3,1", , "#"; //(same as above)
        selfilter "3,2", , "#"; //select every 2nd from position 3
        selfilter ",4", , "#";  //select every 4th from position 1
        selfilter "", , "#";    //select all from position 1
        selfilter "0,0", , "#"; //(same as above)
    * The Address Bar might share a row with the Toolbar: Up to now there was a 
      default minimum width for the Address Bar of 400 pixels. You could modify 
      that value via the tweak ToolbarKeepOff.
      Now you can alternatively set a fixed width for the Address Bar via this 
      tweak. e.g.:
        AddressBarWidth=300
      If AddressBarWidth is set then ToolbarKeepOff is ignored.
    ! Catalog: Ctrl+Click (open path in new background tab) did not support 
      portable paths. Fixed.
    ! List | Dupes column: Right-clicking items in the Dupes column to pop a 
      special context menu did not work with Full Row Select enabled. Fixed.

    + SC exists: Now it supports Paper Folders. Example:
        echo exists("paper:foo"); //"2" if folder exists, "0" if not
    + SC selfilter: Now you can select items by their line number in the current 
      listing. To invoke this pass "#" as column and state start (first item to 
      select = 1) and step separated by a comma as pattern.
      Syntax: selfilter [pattern], [type (f|d)], [column], [add]
        pattern: [start],[step]
        column:   #
      Examples:
        selfilter "3,1", , "#"; //select all from position 3
        selfilter "3,2", , "#"; //select every 2nd from position 3
        selfilter "3", , "#";   //select the 3rd item only
        selfilter ",4", , "#";  //select every 4th from position 1
      Remarks:
        The arguments "type" and add "work" as expected in this context.

    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Visual Filters: Added option 
      "Apply to files only". Tick it to apply the visual filters only to files, 
      not to folders, in other words to let pass all folders.
      Note that any of the inline scope prefixes overwrite this setting. So 
      "!\|*.jpg" will not list any folders even if "Apply to files only" is 
      enabled.

    + Date Variables: Since v9.90.0502 - 2011-03-16 14:34 you can pass an 
      optional extra argument to shift the date to the past or the future by a 
      certain number of time units. However, this had never been implemented for 
      the <date> variable, only for file-date-related <datem>, <datec>, <datea>, 
      and <dateexif>.
      Now it works also with <date> (which returns the current date/time).
      Examples:
        echo "<date -70000d yyyy-mm-dd>"; //70000 days before now
        echo "<date +2y yyyy-mm-dd>"; //2 years from now    
        echo "<date +7s yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss>"; //7 seconds from now    
    > Tip on Keyboard Shortcuts: If you use XYplorer localized to German you 
      might remove Alt+D as default shortcut for focusing the Address Bar (Tools 
      | Customize Keyboard Shortcuts... (Shift+F9) / Miscellaneous / Focus 
      Functions / Focus Address Bar).
      Reason: It conflicts with the accelerator "D" which is used in the main 
      menu for "Datei" (File).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.54.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.54.lng is uploaded.

    + SC get: Argument CmdLine enhanced. Now it can be used like PHP/C++ argv[].
        echo get("CmdLine");    //returns the command line (without application)
        echo get("CmdLine", 0); //returns the application as called
        echo get("CmdLine", 1); //returns the 1st argument
        echo get("CmdLine", 2); //returns the 2nd argument, etc.
      Arguments are interpreted as separated by " " spaces, optionally quoted, 
      and returned trimmed and unquoted.
    * Click and Search: Now, when no item is ticked clicking the CAS category 
      will remove any search and simply browse the current location. Before, it 
      would run a search for "" (nothing in quotes) which always returned an 
      empty list.
      Note that this undoes the change from v14.00.0111 - 2014-05-10 23:24. The 
      new way is just much more intuitive and a boost in usability.
    * Click and Search: Loose Boolean Match syntax is NOT supported anymore -- 
      too many unsolvable ambiguities: date terms like "dw 6-7" were wrongly 
      resolved to "dw & 6-7".
      Note that this undoes the change from  v14.20.0101 - 2014-06-16 15:33.

v14.60.0202 - 2014-12-03 11:42
    + Command Line Switches: Added switch /user. Lets you pass a |-separated, 
      optionally quoted, list of values to the application. The individual 
      values can later be retrieved via scripting command get (with a new named 
      argument "CmdLineUser"). For example:
      App Call:
        XYplorer.exe /user=a|b|c
        XYplorer.exe /user="a|b|c"    (with optional quoting)
      Scripting:
        echo get("CmdLineUser", 1); //a
        echo get("CmdLineUser", 2); //b
        echo get("CmdLineUser", 3); //c
      Of course, also the variable <get ...> supports it:
        echo <get CmdLineUser 2>; //b
    + SC get got a new named argument "CmdLine" by which you can retrieve 
      the app's command line.
        echo get("CmdLine"); //returns the command line
    + Quick Search: Added switch /u (think umlaut vs ümlaut) by which the search 
      will ignore diacritics.
        Köln      finds Köln
        Koln      finds Koln
        Köln /u   finds Köln and Koln
        Koln /u   finds Köln and Koln
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Show icons". Has been the hard-coded 
      default before, now you can turn it off.
      If turned it off iconized tabs will still show the icons.
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Make selected tab bold". Has been the 
      hard-coded default before, now you can turn it off.
