v24.80.0026 - 2023-08-25 16:38
    + Branch View: Slightly changed the behavior of the New Folder and New Text File 
      commands in this context:
      - When a folder is focused and you choose Edit | New | New Folder (Ctrl+N) or Edit | 
        New | New Text File (Ctrl+Shift+N), that new item is now created within the focused 
        folder.
      - When a file is focused and you choose Edit | New | New Folder (Ctrl+N) or Edit | 
        New | New Text File (Ctrl+Shift+N), that new item is now created as a sibling of 
        that file.
      - One exception: If an empty folder is focused, it is treated as a file in this 
        respect. Try it and you'll see that it makes sense.
    * Updated the help file.

v24.90.0001 - 2023-08-28 17:28
    * Custom Copy Progress: Now the name after "Copying:" is removed when an item is 
      skipped. Previously, the last non-skipped name remained visible until the next 
      non-skipped item appeared, falsely suggesting that copying that item took a long 
      time.
      Currently implemented for foreground operations only.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Initial delay in 
      milliseconds: When set to 0, some timed things, like Hover Boxes, would stop working 
      under certain conditions. Allowing this value was actually a mistake. Fixed. Valid 
      values are now from 1 to 9999.
    ! Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Row Colors: Background colors were not 
      displayed when "Tools | Customize List | Show Grid" was checked and the grid style 
      was set to "Grid Lines". Fixed.

v24.90.0002 - 2023-08-29 15:08
    + Custom Copy Progress: Now the post-processing phases (things to do after all bytes 
      have been copied/moved) are displayed in the dialog, just above the progress bar. 
      Depending on the configuration, the following phases may occur:
        - Filename capitalization is synchronized...
        - File times are synchronized...
        - Empty source folders are removed...
      Note that these phases don't take long for smaller jobs. You probably need at least 
      10,000 files in the job to have enough time to actually read the labels.
      Currently implemented for foreground operations only.
    ! Image Preview: WEBP preview did not work in a fresh instance without first checking 
      it in Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Image Files. Fixed. Listing and 
      checking in "Preview as Thumbnail" is sufficient.

    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Hold Ctrl to 
      invert the above selection: Previously, CTRL had to be the only key held down. Now 
      it can be combined with other function keys such as SHIFT and ALT. This allows you 
      to force the extended shell context menu by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Right-click while 
      "Native context menu" is checked.
    + Custom Copy Progress: Recent changes are now implemented for background operations.

    ! Batch Rename: With an increment pattern containing additional variables and the /s

      incremented automatically until a free name was found. Fixed.

      Preview dialog. Fixed.

v24.90.0101 - 2023-09-01 13:55
  +++ The Glider: You move the mouse over the area in the tree to the left of the nodes, 
      and for each node the Glider, a floating mini toolbar, magically appears, offering 
      the two most basic file management buttons: Copy and Move (and optionally one ot two 
      other buttons). Clicking them will copy or move whatever is selected in list to the 
      folder the glider is pointing to. A one-click-wonder. Everyone has always wanted 
      this (subconsciously), everyone will get it immediately because it's so natural, 
      it's a game changer.
    + The Glider, Phase 1: The glider is now implemented for the tree (a list glider may 
      come later). It does nothing yet (no buttons), but you can get a feel for it.
      - The hot zone for each node is to the left of the expansion (or folder) icon.
      - The glider will appear to the left of the mouse pointer.
      - When space is limited, the glider will appear to the right of the node if there is 
        more space. I decided against vertical gliders because it does not work well with 
        motor memory.
      - To make it feel smooth and not annoying, the glider will not appear as long as the 
        mouse is moving, it will only appear when and where the mouse rests for 150 msec.
      - Of course, showing the glider will be optional later, and the color will be 
        customizable.

    * Glider Improvements:
      - The glider no longer overlaps the expansion icon (but moves to the right instead).
      - The area to the right of the nodes is now also a hot zone. Feels natural and 
        reduces mouse movement.
      - When possible, the glider appears horizontally centered on the mouse pointer, not 
        to the left of it.
      - The glider now appears with a subtle animation effect.

v24.90.0103 - 2023-09-02 19:38
    + Menu Tools | Customize Tree: Added toggle "Show Glider". So you need to actively 
      turn it on now if you want to continue to see history in the making.
    * Glider Improvements:
      - Now the arrow points directly to the folder name for safe targeting.
      - The arrowheads are now barbed.
      - The glider will no longer jump to the other side if there is not enough room on 
        the current side. It will stay here and overlap whatever is in its way. Not pretty 
        but functional.
      - Made the whole thing a bit bigger (fatter targets).
      - Added some fake button shapes to enhance the simulation. No function yet.
    ! Rename Preview: Drawing glitch when scrolling. Fixed.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.172.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.172.lng is uploaded.

    + Glider: The gun is unlocked. Now the button actually do what they say. Enjoy!
    * Glider Improvements:
      - You can now switch sides on the same node and the glider will switch with you.
      - Buttons: Copy, Move, Paste, with tooltips and hover effect.
      - Buttons are enabled depending on the situation.

v24.90.0105 - 2023-09-04 15:10
    * Glider Improvements:
      - The glider hot zone (the area where the mouse triggers the glider) is now limited 
        to a vertical strip on the right side of the tree, as wide as a scroll bar (that's 
        17 pixels by Windows default on 100%). This strip is hot even if a folder name 
        reaches into it.
      - The glider will now appear at a position where the mouse pointer is over its 
        non-clickable area to prevent accidental clicks.
      - The glider will now disappear even in the same row once you move the mouse to the 
        left of it.
      - The target folder is now additionally marked with a surrounding rectangle. This 
        rectangle stays on when overwrite prompts appear during a glider-triggered 
        operation.
      - Disabled buttons are now more clearly marked as disabled.
      - The Move button is now disabled if source and target folder are identical.
      - The glider buttons now have a subtle press down effect.
      - Now only the left button triggers an action (of course, that was a bug).
      - After using a glider button, the focus is set to the list. This makes successive 
        actions much easier.
