       edge of the BC, now upward paths get priority over downward paths.

     + Configuration | Colors: Now you can configure the Breadcrumbs 
       colors.
     + Breadcrumbs: Now the setting of "Configuration | Menus, Mouse, 
       Safety | Mouse | Middle-click opens folder in new tab" is honored.
     ! Breadcrumbs: Dropdowns did not pop for DBCS languages and some 
       other locales (Hungarian; Vietnamese). Fixed.
     ! Breadcrumbs: When a folder in the downward path was deleted the 
       current folder was falsely colored as being part of the downward 
       path. Fixed.
     ! Breadcrumbs: Dropdown vanished when list was auto-refreshed. 
       Attempt to limit this somewhat.

v13.10.0120 - 2013-10-23 11:50
     + Various information dialogs: Now you can right-click the header 
       zone and choose "Copy Subject to Clipboard" from the context 
       menu. Might be helpful sometimes.
     * Breadcrumbs: Improved color contrasts on extreme user-defined 
       color configurations.
     ! List: Since v9.11.0009 - 2010-05-25 20:33 there were too many 
       auto-refresh events happening in the list due to a too generous 
       logic. Typically notable on drive C: where background processes 
       might be doing internal file affecting tasks in some deep 
       subfolder. Fixed.

v13.10.0122 - 2013-10-24 13:58
    * Breadcrumbs are now called "Breadcrumb Bars".
    ! Configuration | Fonts | Main Contents: Would not affect the 
      Breadcrumbs font size. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors | Reset Colors: Some colors were not reset. 
      Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Dropdowns did still not pop for certain locale 
      settings. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb menu was not always in sync with Breadcrumb Bar. Fixed.
    ! Branch View: Sorting by Path could go wrong when files and folders 
      with the same title (name minus extension) existed in the same 
      location and with "Sort filenames by base" enabled. Fixed.
    ! Tree: After visiting a tab with a non-available path and then 
      returning to an available path tab custom file icons would not be 
      displayed as expected after certain operations. Fixed.
    ! Open in New Background Tab used wrong auto-default folder view 
      setting. Fixed.
    * Directional formatting codes protection: Before it was like this:
        When opening a file containing any DFC, you are warned.
        NOTE: Because this is the most dangerous part, this warning 
        cannot be turned off! You get it independently of the setting of 
        "Directional formatting codes protection".
      However, this lead to unwanted warnings with files with Arabic 
      names. So from now on, you get this warning only if "Directional 
      formatting codes protection" it enabled.

v13.10.0127 - 2013-10-25 14:56
    + Breadcrumbs: Added command "Paste and Go" to the context menu of 
      the BC. Goes to the current clipboard contents (can be a folder or 
      file, or folder or file name).
      When hovering the command, the Status Bar displays the text found 
      in the clipboard.
    + Breadcrumbs: Added command "Paste and Search" to the context menu of 
      the BC. Searches the current path for the current clipboard 
      contents.
      When hovering the command, the Status Bar displays the text found 
      in the clipboard, prefixed with a "?".
    * Configuration | Tree and List | List | Select last used subfolder: 
      Now only takes effect when browsing by the list or by history, or 
      when going up or down. Before, also the breadcrumb menu did it.
    * Tabs: Slightly changed the drawing of tabs in XYplorer Classic 
      style. Less horizontal lines at the bottom.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Did not auto-update the downward path if any of the 
      contained folders was renamed. Fixed.
    ! Wrong icons in popup menus were possible for items ending in 
      numeric extensions (e.g. *.7). Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Ctrl+Wheel over List would not affect the BC font 
      size when it should. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar: The empty end of the toolbar was partly sensitive to 
      clicks, hovering, and dragging. Fixed.
    > Tip: Run a 2nd instance with factory defaults via Address Bar:
        ::run """<xy>"" /fresh";
      Improves on a tip given in v12.40.0212. Now the <xy> path can have 
      spaces in it.

    % Breadcrumbs: Smoother switch between dropdowns of the same 
      breadcrumb.
    + Command Line Switches: Added switch /hwnd. If feeding a script 
      into XYplorer you can pass the window handle of the target 
      XYplorer instance with this switch if you know it. If you want to 
      feed the script into this XYplorer, you can simply use the 
      variable <hwnd>, for example:
        run "<xy> /script=""::msg 'Hi!';"" /flg=2 /hwnd=<hwnd>", , 0, 0;
      But, of course, to run this script in this XYplorer you could also
      simply do this:
        msg 'Hi!';

    + Breadcrumbs: Added context sensitive commands "Copy Real Path" 
      (only visible when the current path is a special path) and "Copy 
      Special Path" (only visible when the current path is a real path 
      that has a special path counterpart). For example:
        Special Path: Desktop\Desk\
        Real Path: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Donald\Desktop\Desk\
    % Breadcrumbs: Smoother switch between dropdowns of the same 
      breadcrumb. Attempt #2.
    ! Breadcrumbs: After "Go Here in Other Pane" or "Swap Panes" the BC 
      bar in the inactive pane ended up with the active colors. Fixed.
    ! Outlook Drop: Tried to fix some obscure problems with some 
      systems. Shot into the dark.
    ! Locked Mini Tree: On hovering a wrong Tree Path Tracing and Open 
      State Icon was drawn when the tree did not contain the currently 
      browsed path. Fixed.

    + Menu File | File Special: Added command "Set Modified Date to 
      Exif". Sets the Modified date of each selected image file (JPEG, 
      TIFF) to its Exif date.
      Note: This command was previously featured under CKS | 
      Miscellaneous | Timestamp. The command ID remains the same, of 
      course: #1073.
    ! Locked Mini Tree: On hovering a wrong Tree Path Tracing and Open 
      State Icon was drawn when the tree did not contain the currently 
      browsed path. Fixed #2.
    ! Breadcrumbs: Switching on "Show Icon" showed the last retrieved 
      icon instead of the one of the current path. Fixed.

    + XP USERS ONLY: Tweak to handle a complex catch 22 situation under 
      XP due to Windows Security Update "MS13-070Q", which updated the 
      core system file Ole32.dll.
      See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2876217/en-us.
      1)  If you can drag items from Outlook to XYplorer without problems 
          you don't have to do anyhing.
      2)  If you get an error or a crash when dragging items from 
          Outlook to XYplorer then try the new OleFixFix (the fix of the 
          ole fix). Enter this line through the Address Bar:
            tweak("olefixfix", 1);
          Syntax overview:
            Set:      tweak("olefixfix", 1);
            Unset:    tweak("olefixfix", 0);  //factory default
            Status:   tweak("olefixfix");     //shown in status bar
      Note: On my system, which has Security Update "MS13-070Q", 
      XYplorer never crashes regardless of the tweak setting. Pretty 
      mysterious stuff.
    > Tip: Run a 2nd instance with factory defaults via Address Bar now 
      via new SC fresh:
