v28.30.0303 - 2026-04-21 20:29
    * Used-Space Bars: If anything is used, no matter how little, you'll now see the 
      minimum amount of blue (one pixel wide) drawn on the bar. Previously, a very small 
      amount was rounded down to nothing.
    ! Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: If disabled (i.e. toolbar 
      and address bar side by side in one row), a large address bar font could break the 
      layout. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: The Hover Box of "This PC" now provides a graphical overview of the used 
      and available storage space on each drive.
    ! Toolbar: Layout could break under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | New Bookmark: Adding a drive from the "This PC" list resulted in a 
      dysfunctional bookmark. Fixed.

    ! Hover Box: Jumping to the next Hover Box by arrow keys did not work when the mouse 
      cursor was over the current Hover Box and "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, 
      Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered items" was disabled.
      Fixed again. The previous fix (v28.30.0103 - 2026-04-10 15:42) interfered with 
      gesture apps.
    ! SC backupto, SC sync: The "filter" parameter excluded all subfolders if it contained 
      any file patterns. Fixed. Now, for example, the filter "*.bas|*.ini|*.txt|-appdata\" 
      only allows BAS, INI, and TXT files to pass through, as well as all folders except 
      those called "appdata", just as expected.
    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0037.

    % Main Menus: Added icons to a couple of basic commands.
    ! Quick Search Icon: Since v28.20.0304 - 2026-03-01 15:30 the Quick Search icon was 
      not always shown when and where it should if no "OneDrive for Business" special 
      folder was present. Fixed.

    % Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Menus that should have icons now actually have them. In VB, 
      this wasn't always possible (icons were only displayed when the main menu bar was 
      visible, whereas hiding that menu bar was precisely the point of having menu buttons 
      on the toolbar), but with tB, it can be done! So toolbar button (sub)menus such as 
      "New Items", "Favorite Folders", Labels", and the various user commands now always 
      have icons.
    % Startup Time: Due to the above changes, starting with a hidden main menu bar is 
      notably faster now.

    % Toolbar: The distance to the top margin now takes "Configuration | Colors and Styles 
      | Styles | Overall spacing" into account.
    % Address Bar: The distance between the icon and the left margin, as well as the 
      distance between the icon and the text, now takes "Configuration | Colors and Styles 
      | Styles | Overall spacing" into account.
      This change also affects other dropdowns with icons and the Live Filter Box.
    % Tab Bar: The distance to the element above it now takes "Configuration | Colors and 
      Styles | Styles | Overall spacing" into account.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Point to select | To the 
      icon only: Did not work as expected in Thumbnails and Tiles views when icons are 
      shown on the thumbnails (Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on 
      thumbnail). Fixed.

    % Toolbar: The color of the button borders has been toned down to align with the 
      latest UI trends.
    > Note that the contrast of these lines can be tweaked at key SeparatorContrast.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Single-click to open an 
      item | On the icon only: Did not work as expected in Thumbnails and Tiles views when 
      icons are shown on the thumbnails (Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file 
      icon on thumbnail). Fixed.
    > Note that if "Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails 
      and Icons | Enable blow ups on file icons as well" is enabled then only a quick 
      click on the icon will single-click-open the file, a slow click will trigger the 
      blow up.

    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail: The icon is now 
      always displayed, regardless of whether the item has a thumbnail or just an enlarged 
      system icon, and regardless of whether it is a folder or not.
    + Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: When this option is not 
      checked, Toolbar and Live Filter Box can appear in the same row, even when the 
      Address Bar is hidden. Previously, when the Address Bar was hidden, the Live Filter 
      Box was forced to sit in the Status Bar.
    ! Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: When this option is not 
      checked, and Toolbar, Address Bar and Live Filter Box were all in one row, 
      customizing the width of Address Bar or Live Filter Box by Shift+Alt+Wheel didn't 
      work right and could result in unused empty areas. Fixed.

    ! Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: The function has stopped working for some 
      users, likely due to the recent host change of xyplorer.com. Changed some flags in 
      an attempt to fix it.

    + Hover Box: Added setting "Fixed-size image area" (keyboard shortcut while box is 
      showing: A). Enable it to make the Hover Box a square area where the preview will be 
      fit and centered into (or stretched into if "Zoom to fit" is enabled). This makes 
      the size and position of the Hover Box more predictable and totally independent of 
      the size of the original.
      Note that the position of the Hover Box will still have to be somewhat flexible to 
      ensure visibility of the entire box when it's near the margin of the screen.
      The setting only applies to image previews.
    + Hover Box: Now the F1 dialog of the Hover Box ("Keyboard Shortcuts for the Hover 
      Box") shows the current state of each setting appended in square brackets.
    % Hover Box: Now, when the "Keyboard Shortcuts for the Hover Box" dialog box is 
      closed, the Hover Box for the current mouse position is called again right away.
    ! Hover Box: Jumping to the next Hover Box by arrow keys did not work when the mouse 
      cursor was over the current Hover Box and "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, 
      Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered items" was disabled. Fixed.
