    + Scripting: The dereference operator * (asterisk) can now be used anywhere 
      in a statetment.
        $var = '$a'; *$var = "TEST"; echo *$var;  //TEST
        $var = '$a'; *$var = "TEST"; echo "*$var, $a!";  //TEST, TEST!
        $var = '$a'; *$var = 1; echo 1 + *$var++; //3
    ! Scripting: The following kind of statement was not parsed correctly. Now 
      it is:
        $a = 1; echo 1 + $a++; //3
        $a = 1; echo $a++ + 1; //3

v14.30.0002 - 2014-07-12 13:08
    + Paper Folders: Now you can show an Information Bar in the list whenever a 
      Paper Folder is listed, similar to the Information Bars for Quick Searches 
      and Visual Filters.
      Currently only implemented as tweak (the translators need a summer break):
        PFWarning=1
      The factory default is ON.
    + Visual Filters: To hide all files simply prefix "!*|" to the 
      pattern(s). For example:
        !*|a*   -> Hide all files and show only folders with a*
        !*|*    -> Hide all files and show all folders
    ! Scripting: Incrementing arguments did not work correctly. The variable was 
      first incremented and then returned, however the correct way should have 
      been the other way round: First return the current value, then increment 
      it. Fixed. Here are some examples:
        $a = 1; echo $a++; echo $a;     //1; 2
        $a = 1; echo 1 + $a++; echo $a; //2; 2
        $a = 1; echo $a++ + 1; echo $a; //2; 2
      Note in the following that the left operand is incremented before the 
      right operand is added. Finally, after the addition, the right operand is 
      incremented:
        $a = 1; echo $a++ + $a++; echo $a; //3; 3 
      The same also works for dereferenced variables:
        $var = '$a'; *$var = 1; echo *$var++; echo *$var;     //1; 2
        $var = '$a'; *$var = 1; echo 1 + *$var++; echo *$var; //2; 2
        $var = '$a'; *$var = 1; echo *$var++ + 1; echo *$var; //2; 2
        $var = '$a'; *$var = 1; echo *$var++ + *$var++; echo *$var; //3; 3
      >>> NOTE: This change breaks all scripts using incrementing arguments as 
        introduced in v10.80.0010 - 2012-01-23 17:50. A solution will be found 
        before the next official release.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Fixed a drawing glitch with Narrow Tree style.
    ! Paper Folders | Always Show Path Column: Did not yet catch all situations. 
      Fixed.

    + Toolbar | Paper Folders: Added another setting to the right-click menu:
      - Show Information Bar in the List
        Toggles the Paper Folder Information Bar.
    * Breadcrumb Bar: New handling of Paper Folders. Now clicking the components 
      will bring you to the clicked folder, just like you expect it to happen.
    * Paper Folders: Now when you save a manually sorted list the sort order 
      will automatically be set to Index (ascending). This will preserve the new 
      sort order in the view. Before, the sort order jumped back to the order 
      that was active before you started manual sorting, which felt pretty 
      unnatural.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch with Narrow Tree style. Fix #2.

    * Scripting: From now, on dereferencing does NOT take place in interpolation. 
      FYI, interpolation means that variables that are embedded in double-quoted or 
      unquoted strings are resolved.
      Compare the following scripts. Only in the last one $a is dereferenced:
        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo "*$a!";  //*$b!
        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo *$a!;    //*$b!
        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo "*$a";   //*$b
        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo *$a;     //Test
      
      Also in these scripts using HEREDOC $a is not dereferenced but resolved to "$b":
        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo <<<FOO
        *$a!
        FOO

        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo <<<FOO
        *$a
        FOO

    ! Floating Preview: Fixed two glitches related to Mouse Down Blow Up under 
      certain conditions. Blown up images could get "stuck" (not go away on 
      mouse up), and the displayed dimensions could get totally wrong by factor 
      fifteen.
    ! Layout: The "resize" mouse pointer could get stuck under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.
    ! Tree Path Tracing: Drawing glitch with custom node indent, and depending 
      on borders style settings. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel: Dotted line around checkboxes partly hidden under Win8. Fixed.

    * Paper Folders: From now on folder sizes in Paper Folders are only 
      calculated if "Configuration | Tree and List | Tree | In network locations 
      as well" is ticked. In a future version there will be an extra setting for 
      this.
    ! Find Files: Loose Boolean Match patterns ("a b" = "a AND b") were wrongly 
      parsed if any of the parts contained the character "0" (zero). This 
      idiotic bug was probably introduced 20140616. Fixed.
