    + Droppable User Buttons: You can now prepend a quoted button caption to the path in 
      the Name field. Example:
        Name: "Drop Here" paper:DropStack
      The button caption will be "Drop Here" and the drop will go to "paper:DropStack".
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar...: At the end of the Current Buttons list there is now a 
      pseudo-item "End of List". Its sole purpose is to make it easier to add buttons at 
      the end of the list.

v25.70.0122 - 2024-03-21 19:07
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips | 
      Select Extra Fields...: Now the "Encoding" is optionally shown at the end of the 
      tooltip for all items.
      - For files the possible returns are: Ascii, DBCS, UTF-8, UTF-8 BOM, UTF-16LE, UTF-16LE 
        BOM, UTF-16BE, Binary, File is empty, Could not open file, File too large.
      - For non-files it's Drive, Server, Share, Folder.
  %%% Toolbar: The Extra Large Buttons (48x48) are now razor sharp. This was achieved with 
      AI-assisted upscaling from the 24x24 versions at https://www.img2go.com/. Although 
      they look much better than before, they are still not perfect. But time is on our 
      side. The next versions will be even better.
      Remarks:
      - 48x48 is a lot. But you can easily downscale them by Ctrl+Shift+Wheel over the 
        toolbar. The downscaled icons are still much better than the upscaled ones we had 
        before.
      - When you choose Large Buttons and upscale them by Ctrl+Shift+Wheel what you 
        actually get are downscaled Extra Large Buttons. They just look better.
      - Scaling is work. If speed is your main concern, you should use the original 
        unscaled sizes (Toolbar Zoom = 1).
      - The executable file has grown by 1 MB.
    ! Toolbar: In v25.70.0120 some icons had a double-strong shadow or margin. Fixed.

    + Tools | Customize Toolbar... | Options: Added the "Allow Multiple Button Rows" 
      toggle at the bottom of the popup menu. It's checked by default. When unchecked, 
      only the first button row of your multi-row toolbar set is displayed.
      This way, you can have optional rows of not-so-important buttons below your main row 
      of buttons, and quickly toggle them on and off.
      Any menu-only rows before the first button row are not counted, so can toggle 
      between menu row plus one button row, and menu row plus more than one button row.
    + Toolbar: The right-click menu button "Switch Toolbar Button Set" and of the right 
      empty end of the toolbar now contains the toggles "Show Button Captions" and "Allow 
      Multiple Button Rows".
    * Multi Line Toolbar: Now it's called "Multi Row Toolbar". It's the more common term. 
      Accordingly "New Line" is now "New Row".
    * Toolbar: The slim buttons "Switch Toolbar Button Set" and "Show Menu Bar" don't get 
      captions anymore and stay slim all the time.
    ! Multi Row Toolbar: The overflow dropdown did not handle multiple rows correctly. Fixed.

    + Multi Line Toolbar: Now menu-button-only lines (those buttons have no button 
      captions) stay flat when Show Button Captions is enabled. Saves vertical space.
    + Multi Line Toolbar: When displaying the address bar along with the toolbar, the 
      address bar can now overlap the first line of the toolbar if the following 
      conditions are met:
      - The toolbar has more than one line.
      - Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked  = OFF
      - Window | Arrangement | Toolbar First                    = ON
      Of course, this only makes sense if the first line of the toolbar is not the longest 
      line. The typical use case would be to have the menu items ("All Menus (Group)") on 
      the top line of the toolbar, then the address bar on the same line, and the buttons 
      on the second line across the entire width of the window.
    * Toolbar | Open With: Now the red part of the icon turns light blue if Custom File 
      Associations are disabled.
    % Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered 
      items: Improved design in small lists when the hover rect collides with icons, focus 
      lines, and selections.
