v25.60.0002 - 2024-03-03 12:01
    + SC readfile enhanced: Added a mode that enforces checking for BOM-less UTF-8 even 
      when the relevant GUI setting (Configuration | Preview | Preview | Text preview | 
      UTF-8 auto-detection) is off.    
      Syntax: readfile(filename, [mode], [numbytes], [codepage], [start=1])
        mode:
          t_BLU8: Text, check for BOM-less UTF-8.
      Remarks:
        Of course, UTF-8 with BOM will also be detected and decoded in this mode.
      Example:
        copytext readfile(<curitem>, "t_BLU8");
    * SC readfile: Now when mode is explicitly set to "t" (Text) or "t_BLU8" (Text, check 
      for BOM-less UTF-8) the file is checked for UTF-8 even if its extension is not among 
      the Text Files extensions defined in Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats.
      Example:
        copytext readfile(<curitem>, "t");
    * Folder Thumbnails: Now SC extlist("folderthumbs") lets you edit all folder thumbnail 
      extensions, not just the ones on top of the old internal defaults ("jpg.jpeg.png.gif").
      FYI, the INI key is still FolderThumbsCustomExt.
      Call it like this:
        extlist("folderthumbs"); //open "Folder Thumbnails - File Extensions" dialog
      The factory default is now "jpg.jpeg.png.gif.pdf", and you can add or remove any 
      extensions you like, and order them any way you like.
      The logic works like this:
      1.  Folders are first checked for files called "folder.[ext]" where [ext] is checked 
          in the order defined in extlist("folderthumbs").
      2.  Then they are checked for files called "[foldername].[ext]".
      3.  Then they are checked for files called "*.[ext]" in alphabetical order.
      4.  Then they are checked for any image files (Image Files extensions as defined in 
          Configuration) in alphabetical order.
      5.  Then they are checked for any video files (Video Files extensions as defined in 
          Configuration) in alphabetical order.

    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Overlay Caption: Enabling it caused error 380 
      since the recent Custom Thumbnail Overlays feature was added. Fixed.
    ! SC get pick: If hidden stuff is not shown by user preference, the tree (especially 
      the Maxi Tree) could be out of sync with the list location, but <pick> always looked 
      at the current tree folder. Fixed. Now it uses the list location.

    + SC conf enhanced: Now you can use it to get/set the tweaks ThumbsOverlaySpecs and 
      ThumbsOverlayContent.
      Examples:
        echo conf("ThumbsOverlaySpecs"); //get current value
        echo conf("ThumbsOverlayContent"); //get current value
        conf("ThumbsOverlayContent", '<prop #image.datetaken>'); //date taken
        conf("ThumbsOverlayContent", ""); //back to default (i.e. show dimensions of original)
        conf("ThumbsOverlaySpecs", "FFFF00,FF0000,128,1"); //yellow on semitransparent red with ThousandSeparator
        conf("ThumbsOverlaySpecs", ""); //back to default (white on semitransparent black)
      Note that with ThumbsOverlaySpecs you can set certain values while leaving the 
      others untouched:
        conf("ThumbsOverlaySpecs", ",,,,,120"); //bigger text (120%)
      Note the use of single and double quotes. Outer single quotes protect the variable 
      from being resolved before it is passed to SC conf. Now double quotes can and must 
      be used inside to protect the space after ©:
        conf("ThumbsOverlayContent", '<prop #image.datetaken "© ">');
      Finally, a luxurious three-liner (_ is just used to break it up here in the change log):  
        conf("ThumbsOverlayContent", '<prop #image.dimensions><crlf><prop #image.focallength> _
            <prop #image.fstop> <prop #image.exposuretime> <prop #image.isospeed><crlf><prop #image.datetaken "© ">');
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Thumbnails View Background | Use: Under 
      certain conditions this color was lost when toggling overlays. Fixed.

    + Added a tweak to customize the content of the thumbnail overlay (which by default 
      shows the dimensions of the original image). Now you can show any properties you 
      want using the usual syntax.
      For example, the "date taken" might be more interesting to you than the image size, 
      especially if all your images are the same size. You could do it like this:
        ThumbsOverlayContent=<prop #image.datetaken '© '>
      It will put a '©' in front of the date if there is one, otherwise no overlay will be 
      shown.
      Linefeeds are supported with <crlf>. This is a two-liner:
        ThumbsOverlayContent=<prop #image.focallength> <prop #image.fstop> <prop #image.exposuretime> _
            <prop #image.isospeed><crlf><prop #image.datetaken '© '>
    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show dimensions of original: Now you can 
      toggle this setting with the keyboard shortcut assigned to "View | Columns | Shrink 
      Name Column" (Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Subtract by default) if the list is in thumbnails view.
      FYI, similarly the "View | Columns | Grow Name Column" shortcut can toggle 
      "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Overlay caption" and the "View | Columns | 
      Autosize Columns Now" shortcut can toggle "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | 
      Show caption".
