v18.00.0007 - 2017-06-15 12:23
    * Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Now it pops on mouse down (instead of mouse 
      up). Saves a click.
    + Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Now you can customize the menu. Because this 
      is advanced user-unfriendly stuff I decided to hide it a bit: Hold CTRL 
      and right-click the hamburger to popup the option "Customize Menu...".
      This is the current factory default (which is also used when you totally 
      empty the definition):
        :dpmoveto
        :dpcopyto
        -
        :newfolder
        :copypath
      Syntax is from SC popupmenu(), which gives you a whole lot of options.
      In some cases you have the choice between menu command and toolbar button, 
      e.g. "Show Preview Pane" / "Preview Pane":
        #674      menu command, shows checkmark if ON
        :pp       toolbar button, shows graphic but no checkmark
      Functionally both are identical.
      Note that both Breadcrumb Bars share the same hamburger menu.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

    + Breadcrumb Bars: Decoupled the hamburger from the navigation buttons. Now 
      you can toggle it separately via "Show Menu Button" in the right-click 
      menu of the bar. Factory default is ON. You see, I like it.
    - Breadcrumb Bars | Navigation Buttons: Removed this tweak from v13.50.0019 - 
      2014-01-02 09:37. Did not like it anymore.
        CrumbNavSep=1
    % Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Made some necessary adjustments to various 
      screen resolutions.
    % Status Bar Button: Adjustments to various screen resolutions.

v18.00.0009 - 2017-06-16 17:35
    * SC popupmenu/popupnested: Removed the necessity to set flag "2" meaning 
      that this menu may contain command IDs or button keys.
      Now any menu definition may contain command IDs or button keys. The danger 
      that old code is broken is minimal, and even if anyone used menu captions 
      of format "#[existing command ID]" or ":[existing button key]" the effects 
      would be harmless.
      So, this is now all it takes to pop a custom menu with native commands:
        popupmenu("#101|:pp");
    ! Scripting | Numbered Arguments: Didn't work yet 100%. Fixed.
    % Address Bar: Icon display adjusted to various screen resolutions.

v18.00.0011 - 2017-06-23 17:00
    + Configuration | Startup & Exit | Permanent startup path: Now you can state 
      a dual startup path, i.e. a startup path for each pane individually. Both 
      paths should be separated by a double pipe (||).
      General Syntax:
        Startup Path Pane 1||Startup Path Pane 2
      Both parts are optional.
      Examples:
        C:\||D:\          Pane 1 -> C:\; Pane 2 -> D:\
        ||D:\             Pane 1 -> (keep last path); Pane 2 -> D:\
        C:\||             Pane 1 -> C:\; Pane 2 -> (keep last path)
      Remarks:
      - Also the command line supports the new syntax.
      - Startup path handling has been rewritten from scratch to make this 
        possible.
      - Remember that a conventional single permanent startup path will always 
        overwrite the last path of the *active* pane (which can be pane 1 or 
        pane 2).

v18.00.0012 - 2017-06-25 18:34
  *** File | Move/Copy/Backup To: Reorganized the submenu structure. Four levels 
      deep was too much. Now it's three levels, and you can click the following 
      commands to pop a fresh menu:
        Recent Locations...   (this is NEW here!)
        Favorite Folders...   (was submenu before)
        Tabs...               (was submenu before)
      The poppped up menus come with icons and a smart preselection of items, 
      i.e. you are not offered items anymore that cannot be targets for the 
      desired a file operation.
      Note that even Paper Folders can be a target here. In that case 
      Move/Copy/Backup all work the same: The selected items are added to the 
      Paper Folder.
    * Item Context Menu: The submenu "Move/Copy/Backup To" has also been 
      reorganized as described above, plus the MRU list of destinations now 
      supports Unicode. Somehow this had managed to slip through all the years.
    * Recent Locations Popup Menu: From now on the current location itself is 
      not shown anymore in the menu but only locations visited before this most 
      recent one.
    * Recent Locations Popup Menu: Removed the serial numbers. Didn't like them 
      anymore.
    - Removed tweak PopupFullFavMenu from v5.00.0063 - 2006-07-23 12:58. It's 
      emulated by this tweak anyway:
        CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite=1
    * Breadcrumb Bars: Now the size of the navigations buttons is is directly 
      coupled with the bar's font size (which can be controlled by Ctrl+Wheel 
      over bar).
    + Toolbar: Ctrl+Wheel over the Toolbar now lets you control the toolbar zoom 
      (via the ToolbarZoom tweak). Doesn't look pretty but works.

    + Toolbar: Added buttons "Move to Recent Locations" and "Copy to Recent 
      Locations". They drop the list of recent locations as targets to move/copy 
      the currently selected items to.
      The icon is an acorn, typically collected by squirrels in their storage 
      locations. Well, that's the idea, collecting stuff in known places. The 
      Copy acorn is blue as in blueprint (= copy). It is also flipped for the 
      color blind.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Trying to fix a weird drawing issue with high-DPI devices. 
      Experimentally changed the way the Back arrow is drawn.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.90.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.90.lng is uploaded.

v18.00.0017 - 2017-06-29 12:53
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: CatalogExecute
      Action: Executes a Catalog command.
      Syntax: catalogexecute [index=-1]
        index:  Index of the Catalog command to execute.
                Defaults to the currently selected command.
      How to find out the index of a Catalog command:
        It's now shown in the caption of the Catalog item's Properties dialog.
      Examples:
        catalogexecute;
        catalogexecute 375;
      Usage Example:
        Create a User / Run Script command and assign a keyboard shortcut to it, 
        and you have keyboard access to the Catalog.
      Remarks:
        - The command is executed as if you press Enter on the item. So, if it's 
          a Category its expansion state will be toggled.
        - If you pass an invalid index, you get an error message "Invalid parameter".
      Warnings:
        - But be careful: It's a bit risky to have a KS trigger whatever happens 
          to be the currently selected command.
        - And if you specify a command by its index, and then switch to a 
          different catalog, a completely different command is likely to be 
          referenced by that index.

v18.00.0018 - 2017-06-30 09:04
    + SC popupmenu/popupnested enhanced: Experimentally now you can add scripts 
      to your scripted menu, identified by the script marker "::". On selecting 
      the menu item the script is executed.
      In this case the menu item only supports two fields, Caption and Script.
      General Syntax for a menu item that in interpreted as a script (assuming 
      sep_item=";"):
        ::Caption;Script
        ::Script              (here Script is also used as Caption)
      Examples:
        popupmenu("::Hi;echo 'hi'|::Ho;echo 'ho'");
        popupmenu("::echo 'hi'|::echo 'ho'");
      There can be multiple statements per item and a trailing ";":
        popupmenu("::""Hi Ho!"";echo 'hi';echo 'ho';");
      All sorts of menu items can be freely mixed. Here three ways to code a 
      "Copy Path" function:
        popupmenu(":copypath|#101|::'Copy Path';#101;");
      Remarks:
        It might be hybris to pack a script into a substring of an argument of 
        another script and can surely open the doors of hell. But OTOH it's a 
        cute little option for the new Hamburger menu...

    + Added a tweak that enables you to suppress sort headers in Details views:
        SortHeadersOffInDetailsToo=1
      If set to "1" then setting of this option (and its twin menu command):
        Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Show sort headers in all views
        View | Sort By | Show Sort Headers in All Views
      will also affect the sort headers in Details views. So if you turn off 
      "Show Sort Headers in All Views" then they would be also turned off in 
      Details views.
      Note that the "Show sort headers in all views" menu command is also 
      available in the list's white space context menu, so the sort headers are 
      never too far away.

    + SC tagitems enhanced: Now you can return the name of labels, not only the

      Syntax: tagitems([field], [value], [itemlist], [flags])
        flags: (bit field)
              1 = Return tags of all passed/selected items.
              2 = Return the name of labels; else the index is returned
      Examples:

        echo tagitems(3:=3);  //show label of all passed/selected items
