    * Color Filters: Pre-filters now also are applied to the tree.
    * XYcopy: Now the interface adjusts to the "Dialogs Font" name and size 
      (FYI, the size here is controlled via Buttons and Labels font). Before, 
      the font size was hard-coded to 8.25.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0050.
    ! List: Last column could not be resized anymore under certain conditions 
      since v13.70.0127. Fixed.

      are centered. Seems to be the standard on this planet.
    ! Menu File | Properties: Did not work anymore when "Show the 64-bit context 
      menu" was enabled. Fixed. Currently only the 32-bit Properties dialog can 
      be shown.

v13.70.0129 - 2014-02-13 15:37
    + SC extratag enhanced. Now you can also use field prefixes (as used in Find 
      Files) or captions to refer to a column. And, if "id" is missing then 
      return the definitions for all Extra Tags, one per line.
      Syntax: extratag(id, [definition])
        id:         Extra Tag index: 1 to 5.
                    OR: Extra Tag field prefix: ex1 to ex5.
                    OR: Current column caption.
                    If missing: Return the definitions for all Extra Tags, one per line.
      Examples:
        extratag("ex4", "Shades");    //set caption of Extra Tag 4 to Shades
        extratag("Shades", "Sharks"); //set caption of Extra Tag "Shades" to "Sharks"
        text extratag();  //return the definitions for all Extra Tags
    + Find Files: Added a new master prefix "#:" for search terms. Use it to confine 
      the search to all items present in the tags database (tag.dat).
      Examples (ready for pasting into the Address Bar):
      - List all items (excluding any orphans) in the database:
        *?#:*
      - List all TXT items in the database:
        *?#:*.txt
      - List all tagged items in the current location with no comment:
        ?#:cmt:""
      - List all tagged items in the current location without comment AND number 5 in ex2:
        ?:#:cmt:"" and ex2:5
        --------------------
        ? = search
         : = Boolean term
          #: = in tags database
            cmt: = comment
                "" = empty
                   and = Boolean AND
                       ex2: = extra tag 2
                           5 = value 5
        --------------------
      - Invert the previous results: List all tagged items in the current 
        location NOT without comment AND number 5 in ex2:
        ?!:#:cmt:"" and ex2:5
    * Extra Tags of Type Checkbox: Finding items by Checkbox state now works the 
      same as with other column types. No more ex4:1 to match all checked items, 
      but ex4:1 will all items set to "1". To match all checked items, you have 
      to do ex4:?*.
      Of course, in standard usage (if you just use such a column by clicking 
      the checkboxes) ex4:1 will work to match all checked items.
    * Extra Tags of Type Number: Empty tags are not shown as "0" anymore but 
      shown as empty and thus are distinguished from an actually assigned "0".
    + External Copy Handlers: Added a toggle between XYplorer and the last used
      External Copy Handler, and an option to "Remove External Copy Handler 
      Option" to the context menu of the Custom Copy toolbar button. This offers 
      a non-scripting way to remove any External Copy Handler that is still 
      remembered across sessions.
      Note: These new commands are only visible (and necessary) if no Copy 
      Handlers are defined in "Configuration | File Operations | External Copy 
      Handlers".

    * Menu View | Columns: Renamed two commands:
      - OLD: Define Current Column Layout as Default
        NEW: Save as Favorite Column Layout
      - OLD: Restore Column Layout from Default
        NEW: Load Favorite Column Layout        
    * Extra Tags: Right-clicking Extra Tags in the list now offers the extended 
      context menu for all column types, featuring ways to copy, paste, remove, 
      and edit the data.
      The Copy Data command now shows a preview of the data to be copied right 
      in the menu. This preview shows the real raw data as they are present in 
      the database.
      Removed the "Not Rated" command. "Remove Data" does the job now.
    * Find Files: Now the Name and Location dropdowns behave like the Address Bar:
      - Pressing <Enter> will trigger a search also when the dropdown is open.
      - Clicking an item in the open dropdown will trigger a search.
      - Hold CTRL to just close the dropdown without triggering a search.
    * Extra Tags of Type Location: Now optional captions are supported, e.g.:
        "Test" E:\Test\
        "A" E:\Test\A.txt
        C:\
        "Say Hi" echo "hi";
    * Extra Tags of Type Checkbox: Changed the internal data representation of 
      the checkbox state. Now Unchecked = Nothing, Checked = Not Nothing. That 
      way you can completely remove an item from the database by unchecking it 
      (if it has no other assigned tags).
      Finding items by Checkbox state now works like this:
      - To match all checked items in the database you do this:
          ex4:1
      - To match all unchecked items in the database you do this:
          ex4:0
      Note: Upgraders from the recent betas will see all items *as checked* that 
      have previously been actively unchecked because a value "0" is now seen as 
      checked.
    > FYI: Note that changing a column type will not affect any data in that 
      column or in tag.dat. It will just affect how the data is displayed and 
      what happens if you click a cell of that column.
    ! Menu View | Columns: Setting the visibility for a certain column for ALL 
      tabs of the current pane by holding SHIFT did not work anymore since Extra 
      Tags were added. Fixed.

    * Extra Tags of Type Pop-up List: Now you always get the commands "Copy 
      Data" and "Remove Data" in the pop-up menu.
    ! Extra Tags: Right-align got lost on tab/mode changes. Fixed.
    ! Branch View: Sort order (Default to tree-like sort order) defaulted to 
      Name instead of Path since Extra Tags. Fixed.
    ! SC selfilter and sortby: A flag was not always reset which could lead to 
      unexpected results. Fixed.

    + Extra Tags: Now, when you right-click an Extra Tag column header in the 
      file list, you get an option "Customize Extra Column...". Click it to open 
      an interface to customize this extra tag/column.
    * Extra Tags: Removed the type "Pop-up and Text". On demand this type of 
      column can later be achieved by an additional option in "Customize Extra 
      Column...".
    + Extra Tags: Now Find Files by Extra Tags also supports the localized and 
      case-insensitive column captions as field prefixes. When you have a column 
      called "Rating" then this term can be used to find all items with "Rating" 
      better than 2.
        rating: > 2
    * Extra Tag Type Rating: Now the rating is printed as stars (Unicode 
      character U+2605).
    ! Undo: On Win7 a shell-operated multi-file move with partial name mappings 
      (to avoid collsions) could not be undone, or even lead to a crash when 
      trying to undo it. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0049.
    ! Panes Data: The secondary sorting was not correctly stored in the pane.ini 
      files. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show the 64-bit 
      context menu: If ticked then for the virtual folders Computer, Network, and 
      Recycle Bin no context menu was shown at all. Fixed. For these nodes there 
      is currently only a 32-bit menu available and now it is shown again.

    + Extra Tags: Now Find Files by Extra Tags also supports comparison operators 
      for number and dates. For example, if Extra 2 is of type Number then this 
      would work as expected:
        ex2: >= 5
      Dates should be stated in yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss format since they are also 
      stored in that format. For the comparison you can skip any part of the 
      right side, e.g. (if Extra 5 is of type Date):
        ex5: > 2014
        ex5: > 2014-02
        ex5: > 2014-02-09 10
    > Note that in comparisons Extra Tags with empty values are always counted 
      as "no match". FYI, to match all tagged items with an empty value you do this:
        ex5:""
      Exception: With Extra Tags of type Number an empty value counts as 0 
      (zero), so here an empty value would be returned on a search term like 
      this:
        ex2: < 1
    + SC report: Now Extra Tags are supported, referenced by their 
      case-insensitive canonic names (independent of any translations), e.g. "extra 1".
      Example:
        text report("{name}: {extra 1}, {extra 2}, {extra 3}, {extra 4}, {extra 5}<crlf>");
      Columns of type Date can be formatted in the usual way:
        {extra 5 yyyy-mm-dd}
      Columns of type YesNo can be formatted like this:
        {extra 4 yne}   = Show localized "Yes" (1) or "No" (0) or Nothing (Empty)
        {extra 4 yn}    = Show localized "Yes" (1) or "No" (0 or Empty)
        {extra 4 y}     = Show localized "Yes" (1) or nothing (0 or Empty)
        {extra 4}       = Show the raw contents ("1", or "0", or "")
      There is also a fully customizable format for all the three states that 
      exist internally ("1", or "0", or ""):
        {extra 4 On1|On0|Else}  = Show "On1" on "1", "On0" on "0", "Else" else
      Example (assuming Extra 4 is a YesNo column):
         text report("{name}: {extra 4 OK|FAIL|To Do}<crlf>");
    ! Some PFA stopped working in v13.70.0121. Fixed.

    + List | Drives Mode | Tile Views: Added a little eye candy, used disk space 
      color bars. The color turns red if 90% or more are used.
    * Extra Tags: Changed behavior on clicking in a cell:
      - Left click: Only apply to the clicked file.
      - Right click: If other files are selected than the clicked file then only 
        apply to the clicked file.

    * Extra Tag Type YesNo: Now the value is displayed as checkbox. "1" ("Yes") 
      is checked, anything else is unchecked.
    + Extra Tags: Now you can find files by Extra Tags. The field prefixes to 
      use are "ex1" to "ex5" (the current column names are irrelevant). The 
      matching is done as simple text matching with wildcard support (as e.g. in 
      the Name or the Comment field). Of course, Multi Field Search is fully 
      supported.
      For example, find all Text files associated with "Byron" in the "Author" 
      column (Extra 1):
        :*.txt AND ex1:Byron
    > Tip: In a YesNo column the Yes (Checked) value is internally "1", and this 
      value is used in the matching. So to find all items with a Yes in the 
      second Extra Tag column (assuming this column is defined as a YesNo 
      column) you do this:
        ex2:1
      For No (Unchecked) you do this:
        ex2:!1
      Note that internally there are three states:
        1 = Set to Yes.
        0 = Set to No.
        (empty) = Not yet set.
      You can list all item in the "Not yet set" state by doing this:
        ex2:""
    ! Multi Field Search: The NOT-operator ! was not parsed correctly in terms 
      like this:
        :ex1:test OR ex3:!4
      Fixed. Now it correctly matches all items with "Extra 1" containing "test" 
      OR "Extra 3" NOT containing "4".

    * Configuration: Moved "Remember list settings per tab" from "Configuration 
      | Controls and More | Miscellaneous" to "Configuration | Styles".
    + New temporary variable <taggeditem>, resolves to the item (full path) that 
      is being tagged via clicking a column cell. In a script called by 
      this click event <taggeditem> can be used. After the click is fully 
      processed the variable is reset to nothing.
      For example, in a column of type Location you give a script as location:
        ::echo <taggeditem>;
    + New temporary variable <taggedcolumn>, resolves to the column ID (as used 
      by SC tag) that is being tagged via clicking a column cell. In a script 
      called by this click event <taggedcolumn> can be used. After the click is 
      fully processed the variable is reset to nothing.
      For example, you now can design a a self-destroying tag à la Mission 
      Impossible (again in a Location column):
        ::tag '::echo "I''m gone.";', <taggeditem>, <taggedcolumn>;
      So, with <taggeditem> and <taggedcolumn> you have sort of the X and Y 
      coordinates of the clicked tag cell. Hence XYplorer. :)
    + Extra Tag Type Date: Now fractions of a second are supported.
    ! List: Setting a Label by click did not work anymore. Fixed.
    ! Full Row Select did not play nicely with Extra Tags. Fixed.
    ! Tiles View: File Info Tips did not show as they should. Fixed.
