Updated to v0.5.3:  
v0.5.2 - 1o/2o15

- fix for inaccessable folders
- new switch "NOFAIL" to prevent button from aborting in error situations (no items selected when trying to store selection e.g.)
- new option CLEARVAR to remove stored selections in variables (supports multiple variables, separated by ";")
- applying an empty selection container will give info message instead of error, but still fails the execution (override by NOFAIL if undesired)

v0.5.3 - o2/2o16 & o5/2o16

- fix for FROMFILE creating nonexisting files
- fix for TOFILE not creating nonexisting files
- whenever a filter is set, a tab-scoped variable "Script.SelectEx.FilterEnabled" and "Script.SelectEx.FilterEnabled.bfc.drop" is created. The former allows a button to indicate a currently set filter in a folder by icon. The latter var is meant for use with the AutoVars addin ([Event: AutoVars (event-handling for variables)](https://resource.dopus.com/t/event-autovars-event-handling-for-variables/20731/1)), which will clear both vars and reset the indicator button automatically if it's installed.
