    % Image Columns: Better speed. Now each image file is read from disk only once per 
      listing, then kept in memory until the location changes or is refreshed.
    ! Hover Box on Image Columns: Resize did not work as it should. Fixed.

    + Custom Columns: Added column format "Image". Via variables in the template you can 
      now define a column to show images in a systematic relation to each listed file. 
      Perfect e.g. for waveform images whose filename matches the wave filename (e.g. 
      "<cc_path><cc_base>.png").
    + Image Columns: Now the images support the Hover Box. Awesome.

v24.00.0707 - 2023-02-14 13:13
  +++ Extra Columns: Added a new column type "Image". If you specify any of the image 
      types BMP, GIF, PNG, JFIF, JPG, JPEG, JPE as column data (via right-clicking the 
      cell), those images are displayed right in the cell. This is quite something! It 
      opens up a world of possibilities. For example, you can now attach waveform images 
      (created by some 3rd party app) to WAV files, and have them shown right in the list. 
      And not only one. You can have a couple of Extra/Image columns, each with its own 
      image. So here we are: Image Columns!
      Notes:
      - The images can be resized on-the-fly just by changing the column width.
      - Of course, if you want to see more than very tiny miniatures, you need some row 
        height. Currently the best way to achieve an acceptable row height is by using the 
        "Details with Thumbnails" view.
      - There is no caching for those images. They are always live. So you can increase 
        performance by providing not too large source images.
      - These images have no Hover Box or MDBU.

    * Updated the help file.
    ! SC setthumb: Injecting a thumbnail into an existing cache could mess up the cache if 
      the new image was larger than the original. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: The status info in Hover Boxes for injected thumbnails was referring to 
      the original image while showing the injected image. Fixed. Now the status also 
      refers to the injected image. Only relevant if deep injection is set, see SC setthumb.

    + Custom Event Actions | Exit: Now you can have the script cancel the exit process and 
      keep the app open. To do this call the special new scripting command cancelexit, for 
      example like this:
        if (confirm("Exit app?") == 0) {cancelexit;}
      SC cancelexit does nothing visible when called, but when the script is completed, 
      the app will stay open. Useful for prompts on exit.
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: CancelExit
      Action: Lets you cancel the exit process and keep the app open.
      Syntax: cancelexit
      Remarks:
        Only effective in the "Custom Event Actions | Exit" script.
      Example:
        if (confirm("Exit app?") == 0) {cancelexit;}
    * Custom Event Actions | After file operation: Replaced variable <CEA_TimeSecs> by the 
      more precise <CEA_TimeMsecs>:
        <CEA_TimeMsecs>        //total duration of the operation in milliseconds
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0213.

v24.00.0704 - 2023-02-11 14:37
    + Custom Event Actions: Added a new event "After file operation" to the new section 
      "File Operations". It is fired when a file operation, including refresh of the 
      current listings, is complete. The summary report window of a Custom Copy/Move might 
      still be showing at this time.
      Supported file operations are "Move", "Copy", "Delete", "Backup", "CustomCopy", 
      "CustomMove", "Sync". Note that "Rename" and "New" are currently not among them.
      The only possible action is "Run Script". The following new variables can be used in 
      the script:
        <CEA_FileOp>          //type of operation (always in English)
        <CEA_SourcePath>      //source path, without trailing slash
        <CEA_TargetPath>      //target path, without trailing slash
        <CEA_SourceList>      //list of source items, |-separated
        <CEA_TargetList>      //list of target items, |-separated
      Proof of concept script (paste into Configuration | General | Custom Event Actions | 
      After file operation | Script):
        text <<<DOC
        File Operation: <CEA_FileOp>
        Source Path: <CEA_SourcePath>
        Target Path: <CEA_TargetPath>
        Source List: <CEA_SourceList>
        Target List: <CEA_TargetList>
          DOC;
      Notes:
      - You can use this event for example to do automatic check-ups after file operations 
        and display status messages, or do some automated logging, or play a sound after a 
        file operation has completed.
      - I would not recommend to run follow-up file operations from the script because you 
        might run into recursion issues.
      - It's recommended to use this CEA only with XYplorer's Custom Copy/Move, 
        because the standard Windows Shell Copy/Move has a somewhat unreliable status 
        notification system where you cannot be totally sure whether an operation actually 
        took place or was skipped or canceled, or which items have been renamed to avoid 
        collisions, and all of this varies between Windows versions, brilliant (the same 
        issue also affects Undo/Redo).

    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns: Added option "Use empty cell 
      defaults". Tick it to use certain default values for certain empty cells in the 
      list. The actual values can be freely configured under the button "Configure...".
      To handle this I created a new type of interface, a list with editable cell 
      values. This will come in handy in other places as well.
      To edit a value either click into the cell, or select an item and press F2. Serial 
      rename by Up/Down is supported.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Cell          Factory Default   Description               INI Key
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Ext (Folder)  <DIR>             Ext column for folders    ListEmptyCellExtDir
        Ext (File)                      Ext column for files      ListEmptyCellExtFile
        Size          --                Size column               ListEmptyCellSize
        Other         --                All other columns         ListEmptyCellOther
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Obviously, empty cell defaults only apply to Details views.

    + Drag and Drop: Experimentally you can now fake a right-drag-drop by holding down 
      CTRL and SHIFT while doing a left-drag-drop. That way you can have the Drag and Drop 
      context menu on left-drag-drop, which is pretty cool in some hardware and software 
      contexts.
      Applies to drops on Tree, List, Catalog, Breadcrumbs, and Tabs.
    ! Floating Preview: Scrolling through files by wheel, and with "Zoom by Wheel" turned 
      off, failed with Text, Office, Web, Font, and Icon files. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Sometimes needed two clicks to open. Fixed.

v24.00.0604 - 2023-02-08 14:34
    + Admin Settings: Added some settings concerning Multi-User Tagging. Most of them have 
      been added already a while ago, but they weren't documented yet.
      These are the keys currently available in the Tags section of Admin.ini, each with 
      an example value:
        
        [Tags]                        Description
        TagsList=a,b,c                Limits the tags the user can apply to this comma-separated tags list.
        TagDatOpenTryMsecs=5000       Time (in ms) the app attempts to open the shared tags DB
                                      before giving up. Note that the DB is locked while any
                                      other user is writing to it.
        TagDatSafeSave=1              SafeSave mode: 0=never, 1=when necessary [Default], 2=always
                                      SafeSave means:
                                      Before writing, the current saved state of the database is 
                                      read and matched with the tags in memory. Can be useful in a 
                                      multi-user tagging context if for some reason your current 
                                      tags in memory do not match the status of the database on disk.
        TagFlags=1                    Bit field:  1 = tags DB headers are read-only
                                                  2 = tags DB is read-only
        TagDatModCheckMsecs=2000      Time (in ms) between checking if the shared tags DB has been modified by
                                      another user and needs to be (and will be) auto-reloaded.

      Note that these settings are only included in the Enterprise Edition. They only make 
      sense in a corporate environment.
    + Edit | Select | Select Items...: Now you can state wildcard patterns in the list.
      Examples:
        *.png                         select all PNG files
        Car*                          select all files beginning with "Car"
        *e*                           select all files containing "e" in the name
        e                             select all files called "e" (no auto-asterisks)
      Notes:
        - The comparison is case-insensitive (A==a).
        - No auto-asterisks are applied to a pattern without any wildcards.
    + SC selectitems: Now you can state wildcard patterns in the list (see above).
      Examples:
        selectitems "*.png";    //select all PNG files
        selectitems "*.png|4*"; //select all PNG files and files beginning with "4"
    + Breadcrumb Bars: Now concatenated Virtual Folders are supported in the Hamburger.
      Example:
        vi:E:\Test\a|E:\Test\b //"Double Loc"
      Internally, and also in the INI (key CrumbHamburger), the itemlist separator "|" is 
      replaced by a TAB character.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Had lost its ability to unpop at the second click. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Triangles: On "Standard Menu" the triangles did not flip to the 
      downward orientation anymore when clicked. Fixed.
    ! SC popupmenu: The checked state did not work anymore since about 20230117. Fixed:
        popupmenu("cap;;;1|cap;;;2|cap;;;4");

    + Favorites | Favorite Folders: Now Virtual Folders are supported.
    * File | Duplicate | Copy Here As...: Now when items with multiple extensions are 
      selected (or right-mouse dropped) the preset default uses a special pseudo extension 
      "?" which ensures that each of the copied items retains its original extension.
    * Edit | Paste Special: The submenu was disabled when a Virtual Folder was being 
      shown. Not anymore. There are commands in the menu that should always be available, 
      e.g. "Edit Clipboard...".
    ! SC popupmenu, popupnested: Accelerators not correctly processed for items containing 
      spaces. Fixed.
    ! Tools | List Management | Instant Color Filters...: Any changes to the current 
      filter became only visible after switching to another filter and then back to the 
      current one. Fixed. Now the changes become visible right away.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Tab captions: A custom pattern like 
      "<volumelabel>: <folder>" was not applied to drives roots. Fixed.
    ! Rename Preview: The zebra grid colors went wrong in Dark Mode when "Configuration | 
      Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Dark mode | Adaptive colors" was turned 
      off. Fixed.
