    + Multiple Monitors: Now the main window can be moved between monitors of different DPI. 
      Tree, List, Toolbar, Breadcrumbs, and Tabs adjust correctly, also Hover Box and MDBU.
      The Info Panel is still total chaos, and opening dialogs is not yet a pretty sight.

    + Multiple Monitors: The Info Panel layout on the main window now functions well 
      enough to be usable when switching monitors/DPI. There's no point in going for total 
      perfection yet, since tB is still in a fluid state regarding DPI management.
      Especially label controls behave erratic and weird.

    % Multiple Monitors: Switching between monitors and DPI with the main window has been 
      greatly improved. The transition is smoother and the resulting window has the 
      correct size and position. Also icons sizes and positions came closer to perfection.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters | Draw background colors as wide 
      as the column: This setting now controls the width of background colors *independently* 
      of the "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, and Usability | Mouse | Full Name 
      Column Select" setting. In other words: You can now have color filters just as wide 
      as the caption while "Full Name Column Select" is enabled. This makes the 
      distinction between a color filter and a selection rectangle clearer.
      If a background-color-filtered file is selected you still see a bit of the color 
      filter to the right of the selection rectangle.

      monitors of different DPI.
      Any sub dialogs started from Configuration still have to be done.

      not greyed out so easily by clipboard stuff that only the shell can handle.

    ! Drag and Drop: Crash when dragging an overlong item (> 259 characters in the path). 
      Fixed.
      In Win10 and later you now can drag those items without a crash and copy them to the 
      drop target. Moving them by drag and drop however is not yet supported. Research in 
      progress.
      In Win8.1 and earlier dragging overlong items now is disabled. Better than a crash.

    ! Toolbar: Custom overall spacing (Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles |

    * Self-Update: A pretty superfluous prompt "Note that you have to run the installer as 
      Administrator..." has been removed from the self-update process.
    ! Tree and List: Attempting to rename an item to a name longer than 255 characters 
      (without the path) could cause a complete crash. Fixed. Now you will receive the 
      message "Path components cannot be longer than 255 characters."

    ! Opening Overlong Items: Did not work reliably even with "Configuration | General | 
      Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Support overlong filenames" enabled. Fixed.
    ! Deleting Overlong Items: Turns out that the shell cannot deal with a 255-character 
      path in the drive root although this length should be totally legal according to the 
      docs. If such a beast somehow ends up in the Recycle Bin, which is possible in 
      Win8.1 but not in Win11, then the attempt to restore it will crash XYplorer and File 
      Explorer without mercy or questions. Actually it seems that the max length the shell 
      can handle for root paths is only X:\+245 characters.
      Fixed. Now XYplorer will prompt you to permanently delete such an item. It won't end 
      up in the recycler.

    + Menu Edit | Paste: Now the Paste command is only disabled when the clipboard is 
      empty.
    + SC backupto: Added [flags] as param #10 (same functionality as copyto and moveto).
      Syntax: backupto [location], [source], [on_collision], [preserve_dates], [create_log], _
          [pop_stats], [skip_junctions], [verify], [show_progress], [filter], [flags]      
        flags (bit field):
          0 = [Default]
          1 = FilesOnly. For sources containing wildcards only files are copied.
          2 = SkipPromptToCreate. Don't prompt, but create any non-existing destination 
              folder without asking.
      Example:
        // creates a new target folder every hour; does not prompt for creation
        backupto "T:\bup\<date yyyymmdd_hh>\", "E:\monkey64.twinproj", -1, 10:=2;
    + SC rename: Now the RegExp mode supports the switch " /b" to only affect the base 
      (name without extension, where extension includes the dot). The switch " /b" (note 
      the space) should be appended to the term (but before any RegExp comment).
      This, for example, replaces all dots by spaces in all selected item names, but 
      spares the dot that belongs to the extension:
        rename r, "\. >   /b";
