v24.20.0010 - 2023-03-05 18:06
    + Tools | Customize File Associations... (and its alias "Tools | List Management | 
      Custom File Associations..."): Now you can assign icons extracted from icon 
      resources (exe; dll; cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm).
      For example:
        "No extension|%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /160" *.>Notepad
      BTW, also toolbat icons are supported (not in the Help yet):
        "No extension|:dice" *.>Notepad
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters | Draw background colors in 
      distinctive shapes: In some views, the shapes were cut off at the right end under 
      certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | Hotlist: Virtual Folders were displayed wrongly. Fixed.

    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      Now the focus line, selection rect, and color filter backgrounds are drawn as wide as 
      the Name column in Details, List, and Small Icons views if this setting is enabled. 
      It's an experiment but I think it makes a lot of sense.
    * Updated the help file.

v24.20.0006 - 2023-03-03 13:17
    + Favorite Folders / Files: Now you can assign icons extracted from icon resources 
      (exe; dll; cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm).
      For example:
        "Test 1|C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll /160" E:\Test
        "Test 2|%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /160" E:\Test
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced: Now you can limit the number of returned values. This makes 
      it easier to create future-safe scripts while the command adds ever more values to 
      its return.
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings], [separator=","])
        settings: If numeric then return this number of values (counted from left).
      Examples:
        echo thumbsconf();  //1,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,1
        echo thumbsconf(4); //1,0,0,2
      Example for a Custom Toolbar Button script (with pushed state):
        "Toggle Wall of Pictures"
          $on = '0,1,0,0';
          $off = '1,0,0,2';
          thumbsconf((thumbsconf(4) == $on) ? $off : $on);
          ctbstate(thumbsconf(4) == $on);

    + Custom Event Actions: Added a variable that can be used in scripts called by event 
      "Drive added or removed" (and only there): <CEA_DriveAddedRemoved>. It is resolved 
      to the drive root path prefixed by "+" or "-" depending on whether it was added or 
      removed. For example:
      Script:
        echo "Drive added or removed: <CEA_DriveAddedRemoved>";
      Possible result on adding a drive:
        Drive added or removed: +G:\
      Possible result on removing a drive:
        Drive added or removed: -G:\
    ! List: Left/Right keys did not work in some views anymore since v24.20.0004. Fixed.

    + List: Now when the mouse pointer is over a column header you can resize that column 
      by Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right. The exact new width is shown in the status bar. Works 
      also in non-Details views if column headers are visible.
    + Virtual Folders: In Virtual Folders duplicate items in one list are possible. Now 
      you can have the list deduped by passing switch "d". This, for example, guarantees 
      that XY is listed, but only once:
        vi:|d|<get list_recentlyopenedfiles>|<xy>
    % Speed: A new discovery lead to an overall increase in snappiness.

v24.20.0000 - 2023-02-28 20:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Image Columns. So far a data record in a file listing consisted of an icon, maybe 
      a thumbnail, and various bits of text. The signature look of a details view in a 
      file manager. Those days are over. Now you can add images to the mix. And not just 
      one per file, but many: Up to 80 different pics per file, all in one list!
      These images can be arbitrarily assigned to a file (and recorded in a database), or 
      based on rules (e.g. based on the file name or other file properties). Typical use 
      cases would be showing wave forms for sounds, or album covers for songs, or 
      different states or angles of people or designs.
      And that's just the beginning. Since columns can be scripted, the possibilities are 
      endless. A column could even create the image it's about to show.
      By the way, if you move your mouse over these images, you'll optionally get an 
      enlarged view, the so-called Hover Box.
      Absolutely massive new feature. Ground-breaking.
  +++ SketchUp Preview. Now previews and thumbnails are supported for SketchUp Pro (3D CAD 
      software) *.skp and *.layout files.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

    * Image Columns: Now the image path defaults to the item path. So, if you just state 
      the image file name without the full path, and the images are located where the 
      items are, both can be moved together without need for adjustments. Portability...
