    + Custom Event Actions: Right-click any Script cell to find some new 
      Copy Script/Paste Script options in the context menu.
    * Custom Event Actions: Now the CEA list has a full grid.
  >>> From now on the beta versions are compiled with special debug code that 
      will pop error messages where in earlier versions it would just crash. 
      This will obviously help tracking down any crash bugs.
      The price: The beta release is about 1 MB larger and slightly slower than 
      the official release.

    ! Custom Event Actions | After browsing a folder: Event was caught a little 
      too late (after any Autosize Columns). Fixed.
    > Note that any message box or other popup window will cause a list paint, 
      so "After browsing a folder" will be "After painting the file list" if it 
      runs a script that opens a window.
    ! Custom Event Actions: Remembering the action did not work correctly anymore 
      since section headers being in the list. Fixed.
    ! Custom Event Actions: "Jump to Setting..." did not work correctly anymore 
      for CEA since section headers being in the list. Fixed.
    ! List: Sort order symbols much too large in Thumbs and Tiles views. Fixed.
    ! Startup: There is an issue with determining the correct startup monitor. 
      Added some lines to the debuglog.

    * SC updatescreenmetrics: Totally rewrote the whole shebang. It's still not 
      100% perfect yet but should be close. So, when you think the layout is 
      broken because XY did not catch up with the current monitor resolution, do 
      this:
        updatescreenmetrics;
      But it might not even be necessary because of this fix:
    ! Startup: In a multi-monitor situation, detecting the current monitor did 
      not work out correctly because it cannot be done as long as the window 
      does not exist. Now it's done after the window is created. You will see it 
      adjust to reality very quickly on startup if such adjustment is necessary.

    ! Startup: On resolutions > 100% it grew on every restart. Fixed. The 
      original idea here was to adjust the window size when starting up on a 
      resolution different from last exit. That should work now.

    ! Monitors: Attempts to natively cope with a cross monitor move failed and 
      are stopped for now. In such situation you should use the compatibility 
      settings provided by Windows instead.

v21.30.0036 - 2020-12-14 11:51
    * Monitors: Postponed the idea of native on-the-fly-updating the layout to 
      a new resolution on monitor switch. It's totally possible, but a LOT of 
      work for which I need prolonged access to two monitors, which I currently 
      don't have.
      Instead there is a new idea for now: This beta will remember the monitor 
      and DPI it was on when last closed, and when restarted in a multi-monitor 
      situation, and the last monitor was not the first, and the last DPI is 
      identical to the DPI of that non-first monitor now, then it will assume 
      that it ends up on this monitor again and should correctly adjust to this 
      environment.
      So now you can drag it to another monitor, then close and restart, and it 
      should look good. Not as cool as on-the-fly but at least a walkable way.

    * Monitors: v21.30.0036 failed as well. So that's it for now. The app does 
      not support auto-adjusting itself natively to the resolution of any 
      non-first monitor. Removed all code that tried.
      If you want auto-adjustment in a multi-monitor situation you should use the 
      compatibility settings provided by Windows instead. Find them in the 
      right-click menu of XYplorer.exe under Properties / Compatibility tab: 
      enable “Override High DPI scaling behavior” and set the Scaling Behavior 
      to "System (Enhanced)".

    + Custom Event Actions: When these events run a script, a new variable 
      <CEA_ClickedItem> is set with the clicked folder or file.
        - Middle-click on folder
        - Middle-click on file
    + Variable <get trigger> enhanced: Now it can return the context in which 
      the current script was called. To return this info set the "mode" 
      parameter to "context".
      Syntax: <get trigger [mode=mousebtn]>
        mode:
          context:    Returns the context in which the current script was called.
        return:
          0 = manually started
          1 = Custom Column
          2 = User Button
          4 = UDC (User-Defined Command)
          8 = CEA (Custom Event Action)
      Note:
        The value is reset after the script is finished.
      Examples:
        echo "<get trigger context>";
        status get("trigger", "context");

    + Custom Event Actions: Added new section "Clicking on Status Bar" with 
      three new events:
      - Double-click on status bar
      - Left-click on status bar
      - Middle-click on status bar
      Each offers the same actions.
      Tip: The variable <CEA_ClickedItem> holds the index of the clicked section 
      (1, 2, or 3).
    - Removed tweak ClickSBToggleIP. Replaced by CEA "Left-click on status bar".
    + Custom Event Actions: When these events run a script, a new variable 
      <CEA_ClickedItems> (plural!) is set with a |-separated list of all 
      currently selected and clicked items (you can middle-click 
      multi-selections without losing them):
        - Middle-click on folder
        - Middle-click on file
      Folders in that list have a trailing backslash.
    * Custom Event Actions: <CEA_ClickedItem> now always returns the item 
      without trailing backslash, like all other XY native variables.
      And, the value is reset (to "") after the script is finished.
    + SC get got a new named argument "selecteditemspathnamesslashed". Identical 
      to "selecteditemspathnames" but returned folders come with a trailing 
      backslash.
      Syntax 1: get("selecteditemspathnamesslashed", [separator=CRLF], [pane])
      Syntax 1: <get selecteditemspathnamesslashed [separator=CRLF] [pane]>
      Examples:
        echo get("selecteditemspathnamesslashed");
