    + List: Now the Special Property column "Dimensions" is sorted by the image area 
      (width * height). Previously, it was sorted by the width only (like it's done in 
      File Explorer, for example). Note: This works only for the *Special* Property column 
      "Dimensions" or for a Custom Column that uses the Special Property "Dimensions", not 
      for the Property column "Dimensions". The latter uses data provided by the Windows 
      Shell and sorts them identically to the "Dimensions" column in File Explorer.
    + List: When you hold CTRL and hover a column header you get a tooltip showing some 
      info about the nature of this column and its current width in pixels.
    ! Custom Columns: Recently, a column with the special property "Dimensions" was 
      incorrectly displayed as an aspect ratio in the list under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips | 
      Show audio info and tags: These tips were incorrectly appearing across the entire 
      row when they should only appear above the caption. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns: Added option "Lighter text in 
      detail columns". Activate it to lighten the text of all columns in Details view 
      except the Name column. This is the way File Explorer looks currently.
      Note that only lines are affected that are not colored by any color filter.
    ! SC RenameItem: Renaming an item to its own name, did nothing (correct) but removed 
      it from the tags database (incorrect). Fixed.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.147.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.147.lng is uploaded.

v23.10.0018 - 2022-05-31 12:15
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters: Added option "Apply text colors 
      to the Name column only". Tick it to apply the text color of a Color Filter only to 
      the Name column. Affects only text-color-only filters since filters with back colors 
      are only applied to the Name column anyway. Since File Explorer works like this ever 
      since I made the new factory default.
      Raises tweak ColorFilterNameOnly to UI.
      Note: If this is ticked then "Lighter text in details columns" applies also to items 
      colored by a color filter.
    % Dark Mode: Switching between dark and light modes is now even smoother as some 
      (hopefully) superfluous activities are now skipped.
    * List: Now the Special Property columns for image properties (Dimensions, Aspect 
      Ratio...) and Custom Columns using those Special Properties will also return the 
      data for the image targets of LNK files (if LNK is not filtered out in the Custom 
      Column definition). This is consistent with the fact that Preview and Hover Box also 
      work for LNK files.
    - Custom Copy: Removed the "Pause Processing" dialogue added in v11.70.0113 - 
      2012-11-17 14:06. It's overkill after all and also confusing.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0194.

    + Custom Copy: The "Pause Processing" dialogue is back, but only when the Pause button 
      is pressed while a large file is being copied (you are seeing the per-file 
      progress). Here the choice between a real pause (on Resume copying that large file 
      will start from scratch) and just this dialog (Cancel will continue copying that 
      large file) is meaningful.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0195.
    + Info Panel | Preview | Metadata: Now the Aspect Ratio is shown for images.
    + List: Now if you are opening a large folder and it's loading slowly because of some 
      heavy property or custom columns, simply press ESC and the those columns will not be 
      filled anymore.
    * Special Property | Aspect Ratio: The limitation to the range 1:99 - 99:1 has been 
      removed. Now you get exact values everywhere (and sorting is no slower).
    % List: Redrawing the list after deleting all content is now much faster.
    ! Hover Box and Image Preview: The zoom factor was incorrectly calculated for 
      needle-like images with extreme aspect ratios. Fixed.
    ! Custom Columns: The green click trigger icon hadn't yet adapted to Dark Mode. Fixed.

    + Live Filter and Quick Search | Dimensions: Now you can search not only for 
      particular image dimensions but also for an image area (width * height). Both work 
      with the special property "Dimensions", it is the syntax of the pattern that makes 
      the difference. If the " x " is missing OR if an operator other than [no operator] 
      or "==" (equals) is used then the area is matched.
      Examples (assuming that "Dimensions" references a column using the Special Property 
      "Dimensions"; it doesn't work with the (Shell) Property column "Dimensions"):
        Dimensions: 1000        'match area 1000
        Dimensions: == 1000     'match area 1000
        Dimensions: 1000 x 1    'match dimensions 1000 x 1
        Dimensions: == 1000 x 1 'match dimensions 1000 x 1
        Dimensions: >= 1000     'match area >= 1000        
        Dimensions: >= 1000 x 1 'match area >= 1000        
        Dimensions: >= 50 x 20  'match area >= 1000        
    ! Custom Columns | Special Property: Live Filter and Quick Search did not work yet for 
      Aspect Ratio and Dimensions in User-Defined columns. Fixed.

    + Live Filter and Quick Search | Aspect Ratio: Now you can also specify the ratio 
      directly instead of using the "3:2" format.
        Aspect Ratio: 2
        Aspect Ratio: √2
        Aspect Ratio: 0.25
        Aspect Ratio: <= 1.5
        Aspect Ratio: >= 4
    ! Live Filter and Quick Search | Aspect Ratio and Dimensions: Wildcard patterns 
      stopped working in recent developments, for example:
        Dimensions: 222 x *   'match width 222
        Aspect Ratio: 1:*     'match ratio 1:...
      Fixed.
    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Search 
      results inherit current columns: Improved list property inheritance when switching 
      between Browse and Find modes. Now any styles (e.g. Checkboxes) you set in Find mode 
      are remembered next time you switch to Find mode.
      The same is now true for "Branch View inherits current columns" (which can be 
      toggled in the context menu of the Branch View toolbar button).
    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Persist 
      quick search across folders: Now a quick search will not persist when you change 
      locations via an item's Context Menu | Go to Focused Item.
