      Fixed.
    ! List | Size Column | Bars: Since v23.20.0109 - 2022-06-22 15:02, the bars were 
      nearly invisible on Full Row Select with "Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Highlights & Dark Mode | Selections" set to "Windows Theme Style". Fixed.

      Show Items | Show Folders in List" AND ticked "View | Lock Tree" would lead to a 
      complete startup failure without any error message. Fixed.

v23.30.0103 - 2022-07-18 09:18
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   FileTime
      Action: Retrieves any of the three filetimes of the specified file.
      Syntax: filetime([filename], [type="m"])
        filename: Full path/name, or relative to current path.
                  Defaults to the current file.
        type:     m: Modified [Default]
                  c: Created
                  a: Accessed
        return:   File date/time in ISO 8601 format (yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss).
      Examples:
        echo filetime();  //modified date of current file
        echo filetime("C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe", "c");
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Now image files with 
      the same name as the folder are used for the thumbnail (if no other file wins the 
      bid). This is now the order of precedence when asked which file from within the 
      folder is used for the folder's thumbnail:
        1.  desktop.ini
              [ViewState]
              Logo=[this file]
        2.  folder.jpg, folder.jpeg, folder.png, or folder.gif (in that order).
        3.  <foldername>.jpg, <foldername>.jpeg, <foldername>.png, or <foldername>.gif (in that order).
        4.  The first image file among the alphabetically first 50 files.
        5.  The first video file among the alphabetically first 50 files.
      The limitation of only checking 50 files is due to performance reasons (imagine a 
      folder of 50,000 TXT files, we don't want to waste too much time on this).
    ! Action Log and Undo Button Dropdowns: Some operations would be shown with the wrong 
      path. Fixed.

      Allowed range is 0 to 16.
      The new factory default is 5 (pixels); before it was hard 7.
    ! Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Expand in tree: This option should even 
      work on a locked tree but recently stopped doing so. Fixed.

    ! Toolbar: Since 20220626, the tooltip of the clipboard buttons "Edit clipboard" and 
      "Paste" no longer showed files on the clipboard. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Clipboard Markers: Since v23.10.0006, 
      when using the 64-bit context menu, clipboard markers were not updated until you 
      refreshed (F5). The graphics of the clipboard toolbar buttons didn't update at all.

    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: SkipUndo
      Action: Skips adding actions to the Action Log.
      Syntax: skipundo [skip=1]
        skip: 0=don't skip
              1=skip [Default]
      Remarks:
      - While set to skip, nothing will be added to the Action Log while the script is 
        running.
      - An action that's not in the Action Log cannot be undone.
      - It's automatically reset to "don't skip" when the script is done.
      - If this user setting is OFF then SkipUndo has no effect:
        Configuration | File Operations | Undo & Action Log | Log actions and enable undo/redo
      Examples:
        skipundo;   //skip Action Log from now on
        skipundo 1; //skip Action Log from now on
        skipundo 0; //stop skipping Action Log from now on      
    ! File | Rename Special | Batch Rename...: Renaming files in different locations to a 
      simple name, e.g. "cover.jpg", resulted in excessive incremental affixes. Fixed.

v23.30.0204 - 2022-07-22 12:50
    + Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Cache folder sizes: Added a tweak 
      that allows you to avoid automatic folder size calculation.
        CachedFolderSizesShowCachedOnly=1
      If set to 1 then, if "Cache folder sizes" is ON, only folder sizes already present 
      in the cache are displayed in the list, no automatic (and probably time-consuming) 
      calculation will kick in.
      Notes:
      - You still can explicitly trigger a calculation by View | Calculate Folder 
        Sizes (Shift+F5) or by "Refresh Folder Sizes" from the Size Column Context Menu.
      - If successful the setting will be added to the UI later.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Now the yellow margin 
      is fatter to clearly distinguish a folder thumb from a file thumb. This is 
      expecially helpful where the thumbnail is a perfect square.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Slightly changed the 
      yellow color.
    * Batch Rename Preview: Now the full path of the original items is shown if they are 
      from different locations.
    ! SC recase: Title Case was not applied to the component after the last dot even if 
      the "set extensions to lower case" bit was not set. Fixed.

v23.30.0205 - 2022-07-23 14:10
    + Configuration | General | Tree and List: Added option "Show cached folder sizes 
      only". Tick it to avoid automatic folder size calculation. Only folder sizes already 
      present in the cache are displayed in the list, no automatic (and probably 
      time-consuming) calculation will kick in.
      - You still can explicitly trigger a calculation by View | Calculate Folder 
        Sizes (Shift+F5) or by "Refresh Folder Sizes" from the Size Column Context Menu. 
        The freshly calculated sizes are then added to the cache.
      - The setting only takes effect if "Configuration | General | tree and list | list | 
        Cache Folder Sizes" is checked.
      FYI, this raises tweak CachedFolderSizesShowCachedOnly to UI.
    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Added tweak to 
      control the extra border width for folder thumbnails:
        clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=8
      Factory default is 8 (pixels). On upgrading though it's set to 1 to keep things as 
      they were.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Removed the hard 
      1-pixel border. Now all is controlled by above new tweak. If you want the 1 pixel 
      margin back, set the tweak to 1.
    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Video preview | Preview static frame, skip: If 
      checked it now overrides "Configuration | Preview | Preview | Audio/Video preview | 
      Autoplay", i.e. videos will show a static frame even if Autoplay is checked.
    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Video preview | Preview static frame, skip: 
      Split it into two separate options: "Preview as thumbnail" and "Skip: ... 
      milliseconds". "Preview as thumbnail" alone works very fast, whereas with "Skip" 
      the video has to be loaded, forwarded, and paused, which is slower, of course.
      Note that Skip is supported only in the Preview Tab. Preview Pane and Floating 
      Preview will show the shell preview in paused state.
    - Removed this setting from v22.40.0213 - 2021-11-07 18:17. It's not really needed 
      anymore, rather confusing, and also dysfunctional since 20220120:
      + List | Size Column | Context Menu: Added toggle "Use Cache on Calculate 
        Folder Sizes". Tick it to make "View | Calculate Folder Sizes" pull the 
        folder size data from the cache. FYI, the INI key is CachedFolderSizesOnCalc.
    * List | Size Column | Context Menu: Renamed "Refresh Folder Sizes" to "Calculate 
      Folder Sizes", because this command here is now actually a perfect mirror of "View | 
      Calculate Folder Sizes". Note that this applies to all selected folders, or all 
      folders if none are selected.
    + List | Size Column | Context Menu: Added command "Clear Folder Size Cache Here". It 
      will remove the current list path and all its subfolders (i.e. the complete current 
      branch) from the Folder Size Cache.
    * List | Size Column | Context Menu: Renamed "Clear Folder Size Cache..." to "Clear 
      Folder Size Cache Everywhere...". It's clearer in terms of impact.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.149.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.149.lng is uploaded.

    * Folder Thumbnails: Back to the 1-pixel fixed outer margin (the way it was all the 
      years before). The clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth tweak is added to that (as inner 
      margin).
      There's also something new here: Set tweak clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth to -1 to 
      suppress that outer border. Folder thumbnails are then completely unmarked and look 
      exactly like file thumbnails.
    ! Branch View: On Show Folder Sizes, the byte count of selected folders was not shown 
      (or, worse, shown as zero/empty) in the Status Bar when *only* folders were selected 
      or listed. Fixed. Now the byte count of folders is only ignored if also files are 
      selected or listed; this is done to avoid double counts.
    ! Status Bar: Ctrl+Wheel could raise error 380 since 20220630. Fixed.

    + List | Column Headers | Ctrl+Right-Click Menu: Added command "Autosize Column". 
      Resizes the column to fit its content. It does exactly the same as if you 
      double-clicked the right column splitter (which sometimes is out of reach).
      Note that the menu can be opened one-handedly using the "rocker-click" 
      (Left-Mouse-Down + Right-Mouse-Click).
    + List | Column Headers | Ctrl+Right-Click Menu: Added command "Autosize All Columns". 
      Resizes all columns to fit their contents. It does the same as if you double-clicked 
      the Line Numbers column header ("#"), or if you used "View | Columns | Autosize 
      Columns Now".
    + Network: Improved the support for VmWare Shared Folders on mapped drives. 
      Auto-refresh should work better now.
    ! Folder Thumbnails: Non-square thumbs were shrunk disproportionally when tweak 
      clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth was set to a higher value. Fixed.
    ! Folder Thumbnails: Obeyed to "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Align to 
      bottom" but should not. Fixed.
