v23.70.0312 - 2022-11-11 10:09
    * Toolbar | Edit Clipboard: Fresh new icon.
    * Multi-User-Tagging: Changed ghost tag index to -888 (internal reasons).
    ! Multi-User-Tagging: Removing all tags from an item has not yet been fully propagated 
      across the network. Fixed.
    ! Multi-User-Tagging: Changes in the column definitions could no longer be saved since 
      yesterday. Fixed.
    ! SC savethumb: This example from the Help did not work as it should (it created an 
      empty 1 x 1 pixel file):
        savethumb(, "*_t", 256, , "png", 7:=-1);    //Preserve transparency
      Fixed. Now it creates a 256 x 256 pixel file.
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

:!!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    * Configuration | Information | Tags | Auto-refresh tags: Added an error message for 
      the case that the watch fails for whatever reason (the reason might be shown in the 
      error message).
    ! Multi-User-Tagging: The ghost tag was not removed when it should be removed on 
      importing tags data from disk to the current tags state in memory. Fixed.
    ! Multi-User-Tagging: Tags could not be removed under certain conditions. Fixed.

    ! Multi-User-Tagging: Ghost tagged items got stuck in the DB forever. Fixed. Now they 
      are kicked out when it is appropriate. Exactly when this happens depends on the 
      sequence of events in a multi-user situation, but eventually they will all disappear 
      from the DB.

v23.70.0321 - 2022-11-12 15:51
    + Admin Settings: Added a new key TagsFlags to AccessControl where you can control 
      what you can do with tags. Currently just the 1st bit has any meaning:
        [AccessControl]
        TagsFlags=1         'bit 1 = tags DB headers are read-only
      So when this bit is set, the user cannot modify the label colors or names, or the 
      extra column definitions, or the storage method (Configuration | Information | Tags 
      | Storage). Also SCs extratag() and tagsave() are disabled (ATM tagsave() is not yet 
      documented).
    * Tweaks ShellPreviewMaxWidth, ShellPreviewMaxHeight: Replaced by a single tweak 
      ShellPreviewMaxSize which defines a square bounding box. Two dimensions are not 
      needed here. Factory default:
        ShellPreviewMaxSize=2000
    * Tweaks ShellPreviewPdfMaxWidth, ShellPreviewPdfMaxHeight: Replaced by a single tweak 
      ShellPreviewPdfMaxSize which defines a square bounding box. Factory default is 0.

    + New variable:
        <xytagdatfile>    = XYplorer tags database file (without path)
    % SC savethumb: The quality of scaled images with transparency was not always the 
      highest possible. It is now.
      This, for example, creates of copy of the currently selected image (which should be 
      a PNG to have some transparency) scaled to fit a 256 x 256 bounding box, and named 
      with "_256" appended to the original name:
        savethumb(, "*_<width>", 256, , "png", 7:=-1);
    ! Image Preview: Due to a possible rounding error, scaled image previews could be one 
      pixel too small in one of the dimensions anywhere in the app (including thumbnails), 
      and thus minimally disproportionate. Fixed.

    + Rename Special | Batch Rename: The /cut switch now can be combined with serial 
      numbering. This is especially useful when you want to replace old numbers by new 
      ones. For example, you have these files:
        DSC00032 Banana.jpg
        DSC00047 Blue.jpg
        DSC00123 Passion.jpg
      Now applying this pattern will cut the first 9 characters (start at position 10, 
      keep all the rest), then prefix the new number:
        DSC<#00001> */cut 10,0
      Result:
        DSC00001 Banana.jpg
        DSC00002 Blue.jpg
        DSC00003 Passion jpg
      But there is a cooler way now, too. See next paragraph.
    + Rename Special | Batch Rename: Now you can Prefix-Overwrite and Suffix-Overwrite. 
      Both | and * must be present in the pattern. The |-character is used to mark the 
      cut, and the * character stands for the original filename (which is cut and affixed).
      1) Prefix-Overwrite: This pattern means: Overwrite the beginning of the base name 
         with "NEW-".
           NEW-|*
         Result (applied to above files):
           NEW-0001 Banana.jpg
           NEW-0002 Blue.jpg
           NEW-0003 Passion.jpg
      2) Suffix-Overwrite: This pattern means: Overwrite the end of the base name with 
         "-NEW".
           *|-NEW
         Result (applied to above files):
           DSC00001 Ba-NEW.jpg
           DSC00002 -NEW.jpg
           DSC00003 Pas-NEW.jpg
      Obviously, this new option is perfect for replacing old numbers. To update the 
      numbers in these files:
        DSC00032 Banana.jpg
        DSC00047 Blue.jpg
        DSC00123 Passion.jpg
      Use this Prefix-Overwrite pattern:
        DSC<#00001> |*
      Result:
        DSC00001 Banana.jpg
        DSC00002 Blue.jpg
        DSC00003 Passion.jpg
