  %%% 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.

    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: A <crlf> in the name now stands for a CRLF in the tooltip.
      Note that this will not work for the display of text buttons. So it's only useful 
      but buttons that have icons.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Colors | Apply colors: A slight adjustment to 
      the recent changes makes the default tab colors (Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Colors | Tabs) work in dark mode.

v28.10.0000 - 2025-12-10 20:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Copy Current Path. Pressing Ctrl+R now copies the current path to the clipboard. 
      This works regardless of where the focus is or what is currently selected. This 
      small addition could considerably boost your workflow.
  +++ Color-Coded Overwrite Prompt. A bit of color coding lets you grasp the situation 
      much quicker.
  +++ Adjustable Length Column. The optional "Len" column can now display either the 
      length of the full path or the length of the file name alone, excluding the path. To 
      change this setting, Ctrl+right-click the "Len" column header and toggle "Show 
      length without path" from the pop-up menu. The list will update immediately.
  +++ Increased Sorting Speed. Thanks to advances in string comparison technology, sorting 
      speed has dramatically improved. Sorting occurs constantly throughout the 
      application, but is especially important in the file list and tags database.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

    ! Visual Filters and Live Filters: When opening new tabs in the inactive pane (e.g. by 
      Shift-Alt-Click in the tree), the filters of the current tab were incorrectly if 
      only partially applied to the new tab, and sometimes the filters of the previously 
      active tab were forgotten because they were never fully applied in the first place 
      (e.g. when setting a backpane live filter by "|||L>*.sys" in the address bar). Fixed.
