v19.10.0214 - 2018-08-31 20:58
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors: Added option "Match selected 
      tab with breadcrumb". Tick it to color the selected tab of each pane like 
      the breadcrumb of each pane.
      It will overwrite the colors in "Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Colors | Open Tab Text / Background".
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors: Renamed "Open Tab Text" to 
      "Selected Tab Text".
    * SC TrayBalloon: Argument "icon" is now called "infoflags" (for insiders: 
      corresponds to dwInfoFlags in struct _NOTIFYICONDATA), so:
      Syntax: trayballoon message, [title], [infoflags=1]
    > SC TrayBalloon: FYI:
        infoflags: + 16: No sound (suppress any ding-dong).
    + SC TrayBalloon: Added argument to make messages queueable (as of Win10). 
      It's ON by default since this is the normal behavior in Win10.
      Syntax: trayballoon message, [title], [infoflags=1], [queueable=1]
        queueable:
          0: Delete message from queue (and icon from tray).
          1: [default] Keep message in queue (and icon in tray).
       Remarks:
        - If queueable=1 the app icon will remain in the tray (or in the area hidden 
          under the tray arrow, depending on your settings) after the balloon went 
          away. There does not seem to be another way.
        - In current Win10 messages are queued only when you wait for the one 
          displayed to disappear, and the message text is different from the 
          previous one.

      background.

    ! Toolbar: The fix from v19.00.0118 - 2018-06-25 22:37 had an undesired 
      side-effect: When a button popped a menu you could not close this menu 
      anymore by clicking on the same button again. Fixed.

      menu did not pop neatly aligned with the button. Fixed.

    ! List | Date columns: If the system settings for "Short Date" were 
      customized to "dd.MM.yyy" you would get a weird date format (a freaky 
      5-digit year) in the file list. Fixed. This format is now silently 
      converted to "dd.MM.yyyy".
      Note that "yyy" is not invalid though. Quoting MS docs:
        The "yyy" custom format specifier represents the year with a minimum of 
        three digits. If the year has more than three significant digits, they 
        are included in the result string. If the year has fewer than three 
        digits, the number is padded with leading zeros to produce three digits.
      Well, the "yyy" custom format specifier is NOT supported in XYplorer at 
      the moment. It will be silently converted to "yyyy".

    * Custom Copy: If there is not enough space and no files have been copied 
      then any already created target folders (they are created *before* the 
      available space is calculated -- there is no other way to do it) are now 
      automatically removed. Before, they would have lingered on.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0132.
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability | Scroll 
      margin: Now it's also honored by "Go | Up" and "Dbl-click on empty space 
      goes up".
    ! User-Defined Commands: Some display and interaction glitches in the 
      dialog. Fix #2.
    ! Tabs: If a non-existing path was used as an argument of XYplorer, the icon 
      of the last used tab also changed to question mark, incorrectly. Fixed.
    ! Edit | Move / Copy / Backup To...: Relative items, when chosen from the 
      MRU list, were resolved relative to the XYplorer application path. They 
      should have been resolved relative to current path instead. Fixed.
    ! Edit | Move / Copy / Backup To...: Relative items, when chosen from the 
      MRU list, were resolved to their absolute form and added in the form again 
      to the MRU list. Instead they should be used in their unresolved form as 
      listed in the MRU. Fixed. (Making the previous fix obsolete.)
    ! List: Not refreshed after "Edit | Move / Copy / Backup To..." when a 
      folder has been created in the current path. Fixed.
    ! Ignore Diacritics: Did not work for Vietnamese characters since 
      v18.90.0131 - 2018-05-22 19:19. Fixed.

v19.10.0221 - 2018-09-11 20:54
  +++ Mouse Up Show Down: This is the catchy name for a new killer feature which 
      functionally is a mouse-driven instant non-invasive Folder Contents 
      Preview, in other words: What you've always dreamt of.
      If enabled you get a popup menu (scrollable if necessary) listing all 
      items contained in the folder whose icon you just clicked (mouse-upped) in 
      the file list.
      - Enable it here: Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Folder 
        Contents Preview
        As you see, left and right mouse button can be controlled individually.
      - The popup menu lists all contained folders and files (folders on top), 
        without the full path.
      - Click the same icon again and the menu disappears. You can also hide it 
        by pressing ESC or by clicking anywhere else in the window.
      - Works in all views.
      - The item is not selected by the click (just like with MDBU).
      - If there are no icons in a view but folder thumbnails, it works on the 
        folder thumbnails. In that case the folder thumbnails lose their Mouse 
        Down Blow Up skills.
      - Clicking a folder item in popup menu will open that folder in XYplorer. 
        It will zap you 2 levels down, cool motion on a single click.
      - Clicking a file item in popup menu will run that file as if you 
        double-clicked it in XYplorer.
        Caveat: Note that your Portable File Associations might not work as 
        expected here, since there is a crucial difference to a *real* 
        double-click: The file is not selected, it's not even visible in the 
        current list. Not every function can handle that.
      - Visibility settings are deliberately *not* honored, e.g. HIDDEN items 
        are still shown in the popup when they would be hidden from the file 
        list.
      - If a folder is empty a menu pops up with just one disabled item "[Empty]".
      - LNKs to folders are supported (treated like folders).
      Have fun!

    * Mouse Up Show Down: Now the default action when clicking a file in MUSD 
      menu is to go there and select it.
      To open a file use Ctrl+Click. To avoid a bunch of problems, the file will 
      first be browsed to and selected before it is opened. So the action is the 
      same as you would do it manually, just a little faster. :)
      So, in short:
      - Click a file:         Go (go there and select it)
      - Ctrl+Click a file:    Go and Open (go there, select it, open it)
      - Click a folder:       Go (go there in the tree, browse it in the list)
      - Ctrl+Click a folder:  Go (same as click, no special function; later this 
                                  might be used to drill down into the folder 
                                  within the MUSD menu)
    + Mouse Up Show Down: Now the items in the MUSD menu have a little context 
      menu featuring some self-explaining commands:
        "Go"
        "Go and Open"
        -
        "Copy Path"
        "Copy Real Path"      (shown only on special paths)
        "Copy Folder Name"
      This gives you a clear and safe mouse-only access to all functionality 
      available in this context.
      Note: The command "Copy Real Path" this is shown only when the list 
      currently on a special path, e.g. "Desktop\Sub\".

    + Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Added option "Folder 
      contents preview" as a master control of the feature. More in line with 
      the rest of the page.
      Upgraders: Switch it on to get the MUSD.
    * Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Renamed "On Thumbnails and 
      Icons" to "Mouse Down on Thumbnails and Icons".
    * Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up: Renamed "Folder Contents 
      Preview" to "Mouse Up on Folder Icons".
    + Tree Node Crumbs, Breadcrumb Bars Dropdowns, MUSD Menus: The context menu 
      of the menu items now features the additional command "Copy UNC Path". 
      Returns the UNC path if the item is on a mapped drive. If the item is on a 
      normal local path the UNC version of the path is returned.
    + File | To Clipboard | Item UNC Path/Name(s): Now if the item is on a 
      normal local (non-mapped) path the UNC version of the path is returned. 
      Before, the path was returned unchanged.
    * Mouse Up Show Down: Experimentally the folder is now selected on Mouse 
      Down. Somehow more natural/expected, and the situation is clearer when the 
      popup is shown: No doubt which folder is meant.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down: Ctrl+Click on a file by-passed CFA. Fixed.

    + MUSD Menus: The context menu of the menu items now features the following 
      additional commands for folders:
      - Open in New Tab (Shift+Click)
      - Open in Other Pane (Alt+Click)
    > Tip: Shift+Alt+Click will "Open in New Tab in Other Pane", not featured in 
      the menu to keep it light.
    + Breadcrumb Bars Dropdowns: Same "Open" commands as above have been added 
      to the context menu of the menu items.
    + Tree Node Crumbs: Same "Open" commands as above have been added to the 
      context menu of the menu items.
    * MUSD Menus: "Go" was renamed to "Open" for folders, since it's the standard.
    * MUSD Menus: If a folder is empty a menu pops up with just one item 
      "[Empty]". You now can click that item to go into the empty folder. 
      Before, it was disabled.
    ! Tree Node Crumbs: Since v19.10.0221 some icons of network folders were not 
      correctly shown in the menu. Fixed.

    + MUSD Menus: The context menu of the menu items now experimentally features a
      command to open files without going there first:
      - Open
      Note that when you are using Custom File Associations (CFA), not all of 
      them will necessarily work when you try to open a file out of context.
    > Tip: If you hold CTRL while clicking the "Open" command you will bypass 
      CFA and open the file with the OS default associated application.
    + Tree Node Crumbs, Breadcrumb Bars Dropdowns, MUSD Menus: The context menu 
      of the menu items now features the following additional command to copy 
      the actual item to the clipboard (not just the path or name):
      - Copy Item
    > Tip: As you know since yesterday "Shift+Alt+Click" will "Open in New Tab 
      in Other Pane". Now alternatively you can hold SHIFT while clicking the 
      command "Open in Other Pane (Alt+Click)".
      FYI, it's a general rule in XY that holding SHIFT while going to locations 
      will open them in a new tab.
    ! Mouse Up Show Down: Did not vanish when using the Breadcrumb Bars. Fixed.
