    + Droppable User Buttons | Dropdown Menu: Now, if you hold down CTRL when you click 
      the button, you can open menu items instead of going to them. This is only for 
      files, it makes no difference for folders.
      Consequently this is no longer true:
        - You can bypass the new feature by holding down CTRL while clicking the button. 
          This will take you to the Paper Folder just like when "Fire click on mousedown" is 
          not checked.
      Instead, this is the way to generate a button click that does not open the menu but 
      directly takes you to the Paper Folder:
        - Right-click the button and choose Click from the menu.

v25.80.0206 - 2024-04-08 14:33
    + Droppable User Buttons: Now "Fire click on mousedown" is functional when the button 
      points to a Paper Folder. Mousedown on the button will then pop a menu listing all 
      the existing items in the Paper Folder in the original order of the Paper Folder.
      So now you can have buttons that act as favorites hubs, where you just drop your 
      favorites on the buttons. Nice!
      Notes:
      - This is a possible definition of such a Droppable User Button. Add a User Button 
        to your toolbar and edit it like this:
          Name:                     "Drop Here" paper:DropStack
          Icon:                     :paper
          Fire click on mousedown:  Checked
      - Note that you can now even drop items onto a not-yet-existing Paper Folder this 
        way. It will be created on-the-drop.
      - You can bypass the new feature by holding down CTRL while clicking the button. 
        This will take you to the Paper Folder just like when "Fire click on mousedown" is 
        not checked.
        Or right-click the button and choose Click from the menu.
      - To remove items from the menu, just go to the Paper Folder and remove them from 
        the Paper Folder.
      - To change the order of the items in the menu, simply go to the Paper Folder and 
        change the order there using Manual Sorting. Or open the Paper Folder file in an 
        editor and do what you want.
    % Toolbar: The Extra Large Buttons (48x48) created by AI-assisted upscaling from the 
      24x24 versions were too bright and looked pale. This has now been fixed.

v25.80.0204 - 2024-04-07 14:17
    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs: Added option "Tabsets can revert after saving 
      settings". Check it to allow "Tabsets | Revert to Saved" to revert to an explicitly 
      saved version of a tabset (Tabsets | Save) even after using "Save Settings". This 
      allows you to always return to your favorite tab layout.
      This adds the (somewhat misnamed) tweak TabsetsCanRevertAcrossSessions to the GUI.
    ! SC property: Returned mismatched field names when fed with a drive. Fixed. Example:
        echo property("#4 n");  //File System: NTFS

    % Custom Toolbar Buttons: Improved drawing quality of ICO files used as icons. Again.
    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: If for some reason you're not happy with the recently 
      improved ICO drawing quality, you can use this tweak to go back to the previous state:
        ToolbarCTBNoGDI=1
    ! Floating Preview: When "Left-Align Status Text" was enabled a multiline status text 
      was printed as a single line (since 20210824). Fixed.

    * Custom Event Actions: Removed the After Rename event. It's now integrated into the 
      After File Operation event.
      Usage of the existing variables:
        - <CEA_FileOp>      = "Rename"
        - <CEA_TimeMsecs>   = (Unused, always 0)
        - <CEA_SourcePath>  = Path of renamed item before rename (unslashed)
        - <CEA_TargetPath>  = Path of renamed item after rename (unslashed)
        - <CEA_SourceList>  = Path/name of renamed item before rename (unslashed)
        - <CEA_TargetList>  = Path/name of renamed item after rename (unslashed)
      Proof of concept script (paste into Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | 
      After file operation | Script):
        text <<<DOC
        File Operation: <CEA_FileOp>
        Duration: <CEA_TimeMsecs> ms
        Source Path: <CEA_SourcePath>

v25.80.0201 - 2024-04-04 15:17
    + Custom Event Actions: A new event "After Rename" has been added to the "File 
      Operations" section. It is fired when a rename operation is completed in the tree or 
      list. The only possible action is "Run Script". The following new variables can be 
      used in the script:
        <CEA_RenamedOld>      //full path/name before the rename
        <CEA_RenamedNew>      //full path/name after the rename
      Proof of concept script (paste into Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | 
      After rename | Script):
        text <<<DOC
        File Operation: Rename
        Old Name: <CEA_RenamedOld>
        New Name: <CEA_RenamedNew>
          DOC;
      Notes:
      - The event is fired when XYplorer has done all the updating, refreshing and 
        repainting that needs to be done after a rename.
      - The event does not fire after a Rename Special operation is performed.
      - The event does not fire when editing drive labels.
    * List: The inline rename box is now closed *before* all the updating, refreshing, and 
      repainting that happens after a rename. Oddly enough, this used to be done after.
    + Toolbar | Go to Previous Location: Now the previous location is displayed in the 
      tooltip of the button.
      Note that "previous" means within the session. So right after startup the button 
      will do nothing.

    * Info Panel | Find Files | Name & Location: Replaced three native non-editable 
      drop-down lists with common Windows controls. This was made possible by the recent 
      breakthrough in drawing dropdowns in dark mode.
    * Live Filter Box: Slightly cooler icon in dark mode
    * Toolbar | Go to Previous Location: Slightly cooler icon.
    * Statusbar on Startup: The "subfolder check" information is no longer displayed. It 
      just made people nervous. The job is now done quietly in the background.

    % Dark Mode: Finally managed to draw dropdowns (aka comboboxes) correctly. Yeah!
      Windows 10 and later only.
    * Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Dual Pane | Shade inactive pane: Made the default 
      shading a little softer.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0255.
    ! Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Adjust to OS light/dark mode at startup: 
      Simply did not work on fresh installations, despite being the factory default. Fixed.

    + Toolbar: The right-click menu button "Switch Toolbar Button Set" and of the right 
      empty end of the toolbar has been reorganized. Now you can directly switch to any of 
      the four button sets from here.
    - Undid this rather dumb decision from v22.40.0233 - 2021-11-17 19:46:
      * List | Drives Listing: Now the Free Space is displayed with flexible size 
        units, regardless of the setting of "Tools | Customize List | Size Column 
        Format", so that you see meaningful information, eg "2.34 MB" instead of 
        "0.00 GB".
      The setting of "Tools | Customize List | Size Column Format" is back in business.

v25.80.0007 - 2024-04-01 18:16
    + SC toolbar enhanced: Now you can get and set non-current button sets.
      Syntax: toolbar([buttons], [size], [set])
        set: index of set, one-based (first set = 1).
            If missing the current set is used.
      Examples:  
        text toolbar(2:=3); //return button set #3
        toolbar("tbs,{menus_all},|,hotlist,dice,dark", , 3); //set button set #3
        toolbar(toolbar(), 2:=2);  //set button set #2 to current button set
        toolbar(toolbar(2:=3));  //set current button set to button set #3
    + List: The Cell Context Menu (Ctrl+Right-Click) now works in the Recycle Bin, too. 
      However, it is somewhat limited because certain things are not possible (e.g. 
      editing the Deleted date) and certain things are not supported (Live Filter, Quick 
      Search).
    > File Operations: Removed a line of code added on 20240313 to the refresh procedure 
      called after each file operation. It could cause delays on some systems when 
      Content-Based Folder Icons are enabled.
    + Configuration | Information | Tags | Label style: Now you can tweak the label to 
      touch the grid (no gaps on all four sides) and to draw the text left-aligned instead 
      of centered.
        LabelTouchGrid=1
        LabelLeftAlign=1
      Affects styles "Name Column" and "Label Column (Caption)".
    ! SC inputselect: Since 20231120, the listdata separator | (style 1024) was 
      incorrectly present in the return if an item had no data. Fixed.
