    + Hover Box: You can now copy an image of the current Hover Box contents to the 
      clipboard by pressing the "C" key.
        C: Copy an image of the current Hover Box contents to the clipboard. The status 
           area is not included. The size is exactly the same as in the Hover Box.
      Note that not only images, but also text, PDF previews, archive listings, folder 
      listings, etc. can be copied to the clipboard this way. Nice.
    + Preview Tab / Preview Pane | Context Menu: Added the new toggle "Close Preview by 
      ESC". Tick it to make the ESC key close the current preview.
    + SC savethumb: Now you can use the clipboard as image source by passing the special 
      string <clipimg> in the "file" parameter.
      Syntax: savethumb([file=<curitem>], [thumbnail_file="*_thumb"], [widthbox], [heightbox], _
                  [format="jpg"], [border_width], [flags], [transparency=2], [color_canvas])
        file: [optional] The name of the source file.
              Defaults to the current list item.
              Can be any format that has a thumbnail image (including video files). 
              Set to <clipimg> to use the current image in the clipboard.
      Examples:
        savethumb(<clipimg>, "clipboardimage", "100%", , "jpg"); //save as JPG, full size
        savethumb(<clipimg>, "clipboardimage", "50%", , "png"); //save as PNG, half size
    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Tree icons were not always refreshed for special paths. 
      Fixed.

    ! Address Bar: Using * as a wildcard in locations stopped working, probably on 
      20211010. Fixed.
      First match (alphabetically) wins, for example (your results might differ, it all 
      depends on the actually existing paths):
        C:\Program*             -->  C:\Program Files

    * View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views...: Now the dialog will 
      automatically reopen when you're done with the Edit Folder View dialog you opened 
      from there.
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Configuration | Information | Tags | Auto-refresh tags: If enabled then tags were 
      not always copied from source to target item if that target item had been deleted 
      before within the same session. Well, actually they were copied, but only visible 
      after the next restart because of a DB corruption. Fixed.

v24.60.0105 - 2023-07-19 12:47
    + SC self got a new value "level" for the "info" parameter, and a new parameter "level".
      Syntax: self(info, [level])
        info:
          level: return the level (1 = top level)
        level: 
          0 = self [Default]
          1 = 1st level (top level)
          2 = 2nd level, etc
         -1 = caller of self (one level up)
         -2 = caller of caller of self (two levels up), etc
      Remarks:
        If the desired level does not exist the function returns nothing (no error 
        message).
      Example:
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
        // test SC self
           echo self("level");  //self level (1 = top level)
           // go down to a user function
           godowntowork1();
           
        function godowntowork1() {
           echo self("level");  //self level (1 = top level)
           godowntowork2();
        }
        function godowntowork2() {
           echo self("level");  //self level (1 = top level)
           echo self("script");  //self
           echo self("script", -1); //caller (one level up)
           echo self("script", -2); //caller of caller (two levels up)
           echo self("script", 1);  //1st level
           echo self("script", 2);  //2nd level
           echo self("script", 3);  //3rd level
           echo self("script", 4);  //4th level -- returns nothing here
        }
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    + SC focus got new parameters.
      Syntax: focus [control (L|A|T|C|P1|P2|PI|LFB|PP|FP|XY)]
        control:
          PP: Preview Pane
          FP: Floating Preview window
          XY: XYplorer window
      Remarks:
        PP does not do much apart from taking the focus away from wherever it is now 
        because the actual preview is contained in a child of the preview pane which at 
        the moment cannot be focused.
      Examples:
        focus "FP"; //focus Floating Preview window (nothing happens if there is none)
        focus "FP"; wait 500; focus "XY"; wait 500; focus "FP"; //disco
    * XY64ctxmenu: Updated to 1.3.0. This version should get rid of the AHK message "Could 
      not close the previous instance of this script. Keep waiting?" that some users were 
      getting.

v24.60.0104 - 2023-07-18 12:52
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: VarName
      Action: Returns the name of a variable. If called in a user function it returns the 
              original name of the variable in the calling scope.
      Syntax: varname(variable, [flags])
        variable: Variable, e.g. $a or $a[0].
        flags (bit field):
                  0: As passed [Default].
                  1: Strip any array index.
                  2: In calling scope.
        return:   The variable name depending on the flags.
      Remarks:
        Flags bit 2 falls back to the current name if there is no calling scope.
      Example:
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
        // get the name of a variable in the calling scope
           $a[0] = "foo";
           // nothing special here; no caller, so varname() falls back to the current name
           echo varname($a[0], 2) . " = " . $a[0];  //$a = foo
           // go down to a user function
           godowntowork($a[0]);
           
        function godowntowork($var) {
           echo '$var' . " = " . $var;  //$var = foo
           // here's the interesting part; varname() returns the original name in the calling scope
           echo varname($var, 2) . " = " . $var;  //$a[0] = foo
           echo "Array name in caller: " . varname($var, 3); //$a
        }

    + Scripting commands setting/settingp enhanced: New named argument "playeventsounds" 
      to temporarily enable/disable playing event sounds (Configuration | General | 
      Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Play a sound on certain events).
      Example:
        setting "playeventsounds", 0; //disable playing event sounds

v24.60.0103 - 2023-07-17 14:00
    + Document Preview: Added tweak to customize the Focus Steal Fix.
        PreviewDocsFocusStealFixExt=msg
      By factory default (and for upgraders) it's set to "msg" (quotes are optional), but 
      you now can set it, for example, to "msg.pdf" if your PDF preview handler steals the 
      focus as well, or to "" if you don't need the fix.
    % Portable Devices: When copying items from a portable device to another location, the 
      pre-processing is now much faster (by a factor of 5 to 10).
    % Tabs: Enhanced the X-close button push effect (darkened color).
    ! Tabs: Moving the mouse over X-close did not react correctly on resolutions > 100% 
      (target area was wrongly calculated). Fixed.
    ! Tabs: Moving the mouse between X-close and tab caption caused a flicker on Win10 
      (and probably later), curiously not on Win8. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: The OneDrive icon in the drop-down list was replaced with a "?" icon if 
      the name contained a " - " sequence, e.g. "OneDrive - Personal". Fixed.

    % Startup: Now it is ensured that the upper left corner of the main window is visible 
      and that at least 256 pixels in width and height are visible, no matter which 
      monitor in your multi-monitor setup has been turned off since the last session.
    ! File | Duplicate | Copy Here As...: Since 20230116, Ctrl+Arrow selection used 
      path components instead of words. Fixed.      
    ! SC vartype: Incorrectly returned "string" for array elements where the array existed 
      but not the key. Fixed.
    ! SC isset: Incorrectly returned 1 (true) for array elements where the array existed 
      but not the key. Fixed.

    % Document Preview: Some MSG preview handlers steal the application focus. Now XY 
      steals it back, even when the preview uses a user-defined preview handler.
    ! SC base64decode: Didn't handle all inputs correctly. Fixed.
      For example, this didn't work correctly before; now it does:
        echo base64decode(base64encode("ÄÖÜäöüß"));

v24.60.0000 - 2023-06-24 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Custom Folder Icons. Now the download package contains five colored folder icons in 
      Windows 11 style for your pleasure. Three of them are predefined as Custom File 
      Icons. Seeing them in action is just a click away. You get a cute yellow generic 
      folder icon, a blue icon for empty folders, and a red one for inaccessible folders. 
      Looks good and is more helpful than you might think. Give it a try!
  +++ Deghost Your Icons. Now you can control whether the icons of hidden items are drawn 
      in this ghostly, semi-transparent way (Windows default) or not.
  +++ Peek at Embedded Icons. Now you can use the wheel to scroll through all the embedded 
      icons in an icon resource and see their full list.
  +++ Status Bar Section Width. Now you can adjust the width of the first two sections of 
      the status bar by hitting Shift+Alt+Wheel over them.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
