  %%% Sorting Speed: Various discoveries in string comparison technology have resulted in 
      dramatic improvements in sorting speed. Sorting occurs constantly all over the 
      place, but it is particularly important in the file list and the tags database.
      In the file list, the gains depend on the selected sort method:
        Binary:    30% faster      eg 2.5 ms instead of 3.3 ms
        Textual:  140% faster (!)  eg 2.7 ms instead of 6.5 ms
        Natural:   25% faster      eg 5.3 ms instead of 6.7 ms
      You usually won't notice this because sorting a list of a few thousand files only 
      takes a few milliseconds. There are also other factors, such as "Sort by base", 
      "Keep folders apart" and secondary sorting, which require additional work and time.
      However, the larger the list, the more noticeable the increased snappiness will be.

    * Custom Toolbar Buttons: Revised the handling of text buttons and disabled buttons.
      - The Edit User Button dialog got new checkboxes that let you get a long without 
        knowing and setting the "text:" and "DIS::" prefixes:
        - Text button: Tick to use the text in the Name field as the button graphics 
          instead of any icon.
        - Unclickable: Tick to use the button as a mere visual hint, e.g. as a separator.
      - Now, if a Name is defined but no Icon, the button is automatically displayed as a 
        text button, i.e. the text in the Name field is used as the button graphics.
      - You can still use the prefixes but now the "DIS::" prefix has to be the first, so in 
        the Name field it's either of these syntaxes:
          DIS::[text]         = Unclickable button with icon (if icon is defined)
          DIS::text:[text]    = Unclickable text button
        The checkboxes take precedence: e.g., if you use "text:" and tick "Text button" 
        then "text:" will remain part of the visible caption.
