    + Preview: Added MKV (Matroska Video Stream) to the previewed Video

      installed codecs.

        ::tweak("PreviewWmpVideo", 1);  //on
        ::tweak("PreviewWmpVideo", 0);  //off
      Also, SC tweak now supports toggling by passing "" as param:

    + Experimental WMP edition! This special edition has an embedded WMP 
      (Windows Media Player) hard-coded for Video preview. It's still a 
      bit rough around the edges. Enjoy.

    * Statusbar: Elapsed time display after search or backup operation 
      is now smarter on smaller (< 1 sec) and larger (> 1 min) 
      durations.
    ! Rename Special: When one or more items within a mass rename 
      could be renamed they were not listed as failures after the job 
      when the reasons for the failures had alreday been detected in the 
      rename preview before. Fixed. Now any items that were not renamed 
      should be listed under all circumstances after a mass rename.
    ! List: Drawing glitches with the combination of Full Row Select and 
      Color Filters or Labels. Fixed.
    ! Recycle Bin: Further improved auto-refresh.

    + SC filter enhanced. New optional parameter flags allows automatic 
      handling of open square brackets in the pattern.
      Action: Apply a visual filter to the current tab.
      Syntax: filter [filterspec], [flags]
        filterspec: the filter pattern
        flags:  (binary field)
          1:  Handle open square brackets, i.e. convert "[" to "[[]" to 
              allow matching "[". Without this conversion "[" and "]" 
              are interpreted as group markers by the pattern parser.
              Note that setting this flag is necessary only if the 
              closing square bracket is present as well right of the 
              opening bracket. Otherwise there is no ambiguity and XY 
              does the necessary things automatically even without the 
              flag.
      Examples:
        ::filter "*.zip;*.rar";   = show only ZIP and RAR files
        ::filter "*[*";           = show only items with [
        ::filter "*[*]*", 1;      = show only items with [ and ] 
        ::filter;                 = remove any filters
    ! List: Fixed strobo effect on icons and icon overlays in a list 
      that's being auto-refreshed in fast repetition.

    + Find by Tags: Now tags can have wildcards ("*" or "?") and still 
      be searched for in an easy manner. Before, searching for those 
      tags was difficult because these characters are treated as 
      wildcards in the search term.
      For example, you have a tag "a*" (w/o the quotes). Now you can 
      search for "a*" and only items with this tag will be found. 
      Before, this search would have returned all items with a tag 
      matching the pattern "a*".
      To enable searching for wildcards you use the new switch /v 
      ("verbatim"), which is exclusively used for label, tags, and 
      comments search:                          
        Address Bar      Finds (recursing subfolders) all items with
        ------------------------------------------------------------
        ?tags:a* /rv     a tag "a*"
        ?tags:a* /r      a tag matching pattern "a*"
        ?cmt:"*" /rv     a comment "*"
      
      Note that, of course, even without the verbatim flag you can 
      search for wildcard characters by enclosing them in square 
      brackets. For some jobs there is no other way, for example to find 
      all items with a "*" anywhere in the tags:
        tags:*[*]* /r
    + List: Added "Find Items with Same Tags" to the Tags column right-
      click menu.
    > Tips for Find by Tags:
      - To find all tagged items with no Tags use this search term:
        tags:""
      - To find all items with tag "quotedtag" (including the quotes!):
        tags:""quotedtag""
    ! Find by Tags: On non-recursive searches the search might not have 
      returned all matches due to a flawed optimization. Fixed.
    + Configuration | Extended | Mouse: Added option "Middle-click opens 
      folder in new tab". Check it to open folders in a new tab by middle-
      clicking them in the file list.
    + Opening items with associated apps: Now when you attempt to open 
      an item with an overlong filename you are prompted:
      -----------------------------------------------------------------  
      Open Overlong Item?  
      You are about to open an item with an overlong filename (> 260 
      characters).
      Most Windows applications do not support overlong filenames. They 
      might even crash.
      Are you sure you want to continue?    
      -----------------------------------------------------------------  
      You can turn off this prompting using the following tweak:
      OpenOverlongNoConfirm = 1

    * Tags 2.0: Minor improvements and glitch fixes.
    * Catalog: The recent catalog list in switch-catalog popup menus now 
      show the catalog file names relative to app data path. Since this 
      is the recommended location for catalogs the menu should be much 
      more readable by now.

    + Configuration | Tags: Added option "Apply tagging to all selected 
      items". Check to apply the commands in the right-click popup menu 
      to all selected items instead of to the right-clicked item.
      If nothing is selected this setting is ignored and the tagging 
      applies to the right-clicked item.
    + Toolbar: Added a couple of commands to the new Tags buttons.

      Tags 2.0, Phase 3
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + Toolbar: Added buttons to Add, Set, and Remove Tags, and to Find 
      by Tags. They pop a menu with the top 20 tags from the tag list.
      All buttons work on the selected items only and show a "Nothing 
      Selected" pseudo item in the popup menu if there are no 
      selections.
      Especially interesting is the "Find by Tags" button because the 
      "Tag List..." item allows for easy multi-tag searches (Boolean 
      AND-ed: all ticked tags must match). Note that "Find by Tags" 
      always scans the whole tag DB and returns matches from the whole 
      Computer, not just from the current folder.
      Of course, the buttons also have a right-click menu with various 
      useful commands.
      Credits for the icons go to http://www.icojoy.com/!
    + List: Added command "Add Tags to Tag List" to the Tags column 
      right-click menu.
    * Tags: Added some icons to various input interfaces.
