    ! SC replace: An invalid start value (value < 1) resulted in a runtime error 5. Fixed. 
      Now you get an "invalid parameter" error message.
    ! SC listpane: Since 20230119 the returned items were ABC-sorted instead of returned 
      as-is. Fixed.

    ! Tools | List Management | Tagged Items...: With "Configuration | General | Startup & 
      Exit | Save Settings | Save changes to disk immediately | Tags" ticked, the changes 
      were actually not saved. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Context...: With "Breadcrumb Bar Drop-Down Menus" ticked Hover Boxes in the 
      Breadcrumb dropdowns could not be scrolled by wheel. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Item Types...: If "Folders" was unticked you couldn't scroll Hover Boxes in the 
      Breadcrumb dropdowns anymore. Fixed.

    * Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: The status bar message during the update 
      ("updating, please wait...") is now white on blue, a new status bar trick that can 
      also be useful in other contexts.
    ! Hover Box for Texts: Since 20230416, word wrapping would often break words in the 
      middle. Fixed.

    + Configuration | General | Tree and List | List: Added option "Wrap-around list". 
      Check this box to jump to the first/last item on KeyDown/Up when the focus is 
      currently on the last/first item. Note that KeyPageDown/Up behaves the same way in 
      this situation.
    * Configuration | General | Tree and List: To make room for the above option, I 
      reorganized the whole page. Enjoy.
      Note that the previous outsider "Hide protected OS files" is now logically reversed: 
      a check mark means "Show".

    ! Paper Folders: When "Explicit Save Only" was enabled and a PF was opened in a new 
      tab (SC tab), the list was empty. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | Tags | Copy tags on copy operations: Since 20230211, 
      it didn't reliably work on Rich Copy (Configuration | File Operations | File 
      Operations | Miscellaneous | Recreate source folder structure). Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Didn't work over Breadcrumb Bar dropdowns of Paper Folders. Fixed. Now 
      the contents of each hovered Paper Folder are shown (if "Breadcrumb Bar Drop-Down 
      Menus" is ticked in "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show 
      Hover Box | Select Context...").

    + Custom File Icons: Now you can define a special icon for folders that are "Access 
      Denied", using the new switch /x, appended to the generic folder pattern "*\".
      Example:
        *\ /x>ExclamationBubble.ico //all access denied folders
    ! Custom File Icons: Some of the many Windows junctions on drive C:\ were seen as 
      "Access Denied" although their targets are accessible, in which case it makes more 
      sense to see the junction itself as accessible as well. Fixed.
    * Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Save changes to disk 
      immediately: Previously, there was a status bar message for each and every automatic 
      save. Not anymore. Now the saving is silent.

    ! Tabs: A search results tab could get very sluggish on being repainted after 
      searching through a list of many items (hundreds or more). For example:
        goto "<pickall * '%windir%'>?/ln";
      Bizarrely, the bottleneck was drawing the caption of the tab, not the list itself. 
      Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show the real System32 
      directory: When this was enabled, when searching a list of items that contained 
      "C:\Windows\System32\", this item was always missing from the search results.
      Example:
        goto "<pickall system* 'C:\Windows'>?/ln";
      Fixed.
    ! Tags: Under certain conditions an unnecessary "tags database reloaded" message 
      showed up in the status bar. Fixed.

    * Interface Translation Tool: Now the preview of text with many lines can be scrolled.
    ! Portable Devices: A name ambiguity between a portable device and a special user 
      folder (e.g. both are called "Donald") was inconsistently resolved. Now the special 
      folder has priority everywhere.

    * Thumbnails: Icons for items without thumbnails are now always drawn slightly smaller 
      than the thumbnails.
    ! Custom File Icons: Shortcuts (LNK) to folders didn't work well yet with the new 
      switches /e /f /x. Fixed. The LNK files now get the same icons as their target folders.

Code: Select all

v24.50.0000 - 2023-06-06 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Folder Icons Based On Content. Now you can define custom icons for empty, full and 
      Access Denied folders. These icons are used everywhere, in the folder tree, file 
      list, all menus and drop-down lists, breadcrumb bars, address bar, etc., so you can 
      immediately see whether a folder has contents or not.
  +++ Quick Boolean Filter. Now the Live Filter Box can treat space-separated items as 
      ANDed Boolean operands. This makes filtering simple, fast, and effective in a way 
      that feels natural.
  +++ Wrap-Around List. Now you can have the file list wrap around the edges, i.e. if you 
      press UP at the top of the list, you go to the bottom of the list, and if you press 
      DOWN at the bottom of the list, you go to the top of the list.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
  +++ Compilation Soundtrack. Compiled to the music of Orgōne.

v24.50.0002 - 2023-06-09 12:43
    + Added a tweak to customize to so-called "Button Face Color" which Microsoft 
      describes as the "Background color of controls" (controls with variable content like 
      Edit Boxes and Lists are not included here).
      The default color in Win 8.1, 10, and 11 (AFAIK) is F0F0F0. This now, for example, 
      makes for a slightly darker and warmer color (colors are to be stated in hexadecimal 
      RRGGBB format):
        ButtonFaceColor=E9E6E3
