      to lists of up to 5000 items. Larger lists forget their custom sort order on refresh.

    ! SC freshhere: Using it on a Virtual Folder led to mayhem including a crash. Fixed. 
      Now it will use the common real path of that virtual folder. And even if there is 
      none, the crash won't happen anymore.
    ! Scripting | Arrays: Global associative arrays with variables as indices were not 
      correctly processed in certain contexts. Fixed.

    * Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Renamed "Office Files" to 
      "Document Files" here and everywhere else in the GUI.
      - Some related INI keys (PreviewOffice, NoPrevOffice, OfficePreviewCustomExtensions, 
        ShowHoverBoxOffice) remain as they were for backward compatibility.
      - The generic file type {:Office} is kept alongside "{:Document}" for backward 
        compatibility. Since it's deprecated now, you should use "{:Document}" instead.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.162.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.162.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:
        https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9648
    - Removed the following menu commands because they are pointless in today's Windows:
      - Favorites | Special System Folders | Start Menu
      - Favorites | Special System Folders | Start Menu (All Users)
    ! SC runret: Under certain regional settings there was a conversion issue with CP_UTF8 
      (65001) and Unicode characters in the listed item names, for example:
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir E:\Path-to-Test", , 65001);
      Fixed.

    + Help | Online Support: Added command "Quick Start Guide". Goes to
      https://www.xyplorer.com/quickstart.php where the newbie is shown how to unleash the 
      power of XY.
    > SC runret: Added some alternate routes to the output, flags bit 4 and 8.
    ! Time-Stamping: Since time-stamping ensures that the archive bit is set (v23.80.0207 
      - 2022-12-15 10:57), any read-only bit in the stamped file has been lost. Fixed.
    ! SC runret: The recent fix made things only worse. Undone.
    ! Virtual Folders: Lost scroll position and selection on an auto-refresh (under 
      certain conditions). Fixed.
    ! Virtual Folders: A script _goto "vi:<pick>";_ could throw a "<path> could not be 
      accessed" error msg. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: User functions in UTF-8-encoded include files were not UTF-8-decoded. Fixed.

    + SC load: If the load command is within a loaded script file, you now can omit the 
      path of the loaded file. If will default to the path of the containing script file.
        load "test.xys";
      This is probably a bug fix because it was always meant to be like this. It is 
      perfectly natural and allows you to move the parent script and loaded file together 
      without any adjustments.

      regional settings.
      All the recent debug flags were removed, just call it plain like this:
        text runret("cmd /c dir c:\"); //ANSI
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir E:\Path-to-Test", , 65001); //UTF-8

    ! Refresh after Delete: In the Chinese locale these two files are seen as differently 
      named (and they are: it's the parentheses that are different) but Windows sees them 
      as same-named when looking at them case-insensitively:
        Hello(XYP).txt
        Hello(XYP).txt
      One effect was: If you deleted one of them the other one disappeared from the file 
      list as well (but luckily not from the file system). This should be fixed now.
    ! Virtual Folders: Since v24.20.0102 - 2023-03-13 12:09 VFOs with dynamic definitions 
      (eg <pick 8.m ...>) were not correctly updated anymore after file operations. Fixed.
    ! Autosize Columns: Since 20230304 the columns turned out 2 pixels too narrow in List 
      and Small Icons views. Fixed.

    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select:

    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Image preview | Limit original preview size: 
      Reduced the factory default from 2000 to 1600. Experiments showed that 1600 x 1600 
      is still blindingly fast whereas from 1601 x 1601 onwards things slow down 
      dramatically. A little glimpse into the black box ShellImageFactory.
      Note that this setting also affects huge JPEGs that are "Previewed as thumbnail" 
      (which means: previewed by the ShellImageFactory) because other methods failed.      
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Title Bar: Native variables like 
      <curfolder> were internally updated only *after* the title bar was written and hence 
      always resolved to the *previous* location. Fixed. Now the title bar is written 
      again after the list work is completed.
