v23.90.0411 - 2023-01-10 19:53
  +++ Virtual Folders: The next big revolutionary feature! Think of it as Paper Folders 
      without the paper. Memory only and totally volatile. It will take a while to get 
      things going properly but for a humble start I (ab)used a first virtual folder to 
      represent the Windows "Recent" folder, which in reality is a bloody mess and needs 
      some layer of smartness to become usable. The perfect job for a virtual folder, in 
      this case an internal virtual folder!
      There are many paths to this "Recent" folder since Windows is a madhouse of 
      shortcuts and junctions. The simplest form is probably this: %USER%\Recent. Try it 
      to see the new virtual folder in action.
      Notes:
      - While the folder is virtual, its contents are not. They are real. To prevent 
        disaster I've disallowed deleting items from virtual folders for now. All of this 
        needs further fine-tuning and time.
      - The real path is %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent. This path is not virtualized, 
        so here you can see the real files in that folder.
      - You will have noticed the paper folder icon. I have yet to find a custom icon for 
        the virtual folders.
      - Tested only on Win8.1 for now.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Drop Menu on Hover: Fixed a couple of glitches.
    ! Hover Box on Breadcrumb Bars:  Fixed a couple of glitches.

    % Breadcrumb Bars | Drop Menu on Hover: Now the drop is timed (initial delay 
      controlled by "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Initial 
      delay in milliseconds"), providing a much smoother user experience.
    * Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger Menu: Now it drops right under the Hamburger button (not 
      at the mouse pointer).
    ! Breadcrumb Bars | Drop Menu on Hover: Fixed some glitches.
    ! Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing | Queue 
      file operations: When using the command "Start Job Now" from the "Background Jobs" 
      dialog, this new job initialized another queue. Fixed. Now it will do nothing after 
      it's completed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0212.

v23.90.0408 - 2023-01-08 15:22
    + Breadcrumb Bars | Context Menu: Added toggle "Drop Menu on Hover". Tick it to 
      auto-drop the menu on hovering a component separator (typically a triangle symbol), 
      and auto-undrop when moving away. No more clicking.
      Notes:
      - The auto-drop doesn't work on the "Breadcrumb Bars | Context Menu | Standard 
        Menu" option, because this type of menu captures all mouse actions, so there is no 
        automatic undrop.
      - The auto-drop won't happen in the background pane as it would then become the 
        foreground pane and that shouldn't be done just by moving the mouse.
    ! Hover Box on Breadcrumb Bars: Scrolling by key and wheel didn't work yet. Fixed.
    ! Breadcrumb Bars: The Links special folder had no working dropdown menu. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Context... Added "Breadcrumb Bars". Tick it to show a Hover Box avec Folder Contents 
      Preview for any path component in the Breadcrumb Bars. Might save you a click if you 
      just want to quickly see what's in the path.
      Tip: If unchecked you still can force the Hover Box by holding CTRL.
    ! Links | Recent: Fixed some glitches.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | In network locations as 
      well: Was not honored in the tree (still showed them when it shouldn't). Fixed.

v23.90.0406 - 2023-01-06 20:20
    + Links: Now the Links folder can contain the item "Recent" (or "Recent places" or 
      "Recent folders" or "Recent Items", the actual name depends on Windows version and 
      locale, or on how you call it). When you select it the complete contents of the 
      shortcut/junction target of that link (%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent) are 
      listed in the file list and, other than with other Links items, the tree focus stays 
      on the "Recent" item. The listed contents are mostly shortcuts (LNK files) to recent 
      files and folders. Tip: For the "Recent" item to appear under Links it may be 
      necessary to create a shortcut to "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent" in the Links 
      folder (%USER%\Links\).
      Notes:
      - In the Win 8.1 File Explorer this folder gets an extra smart treatment: Only the 
        shortcuts to folders are listed, the rest is silently suppressed. I have not yet 
        decided whether I should replicate this extraordinary treatment. For now I leave 
        it in the raw list-it-all state.
      - In the Win 10/11 File Explorer the whole thing is under a virtual folder "Quick 
        Access" and lists frequently used folders and recently used files, not as shortcuts 
        but in a format that reminds to an XY Paper Folder. It is currently unclear where 
        those data come from, but a connection to these folders is likely:
         %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
         %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations
    ! OneDrive: Fixed more glitches, incl an error 9.

v23.90.0401 - 2023-01-04 18:03
    + Tabs: Added a tweak that effectively allows you to start each session with the same 
      tabs, regardless of what changes you made to the tabs during the last session.
        TabsetsExplicitSaveOnly=1
      As the name suggests, the tweak protects the current tabset from changes made by 
      "Save Configuration". Now the only way to change the current tabset permanently 
      (i.e. on disk) is the command Tabsets | Save.
      If I find a catchy name for it, I'll add it to UI soon.
    * Live Filter Boxes: Changed the icon from "looking glass" to "filter" in all small 
      dialogs. In the main Live Filter Box this has been done already in v19.30.0007 - 
      2018-11-02 17:11.
    * Updated the help file.

v23.90.0302 - 2023-01-02 17:48
    + Variables: Added a new date variable to extract the shell property "Media created" 
      from media files: <datemedia>. Syntactically it can do everything <dateexif> can do.
      Remarks:
        The data is pulled from the Shell Extended Property System.Media.DateEncoded, 
        which stores the date in UTC. The <datemedia> variable silently converts the date 
        to your local time zone.
      Examples:
        echo <datemedia>;       // 11/1/2020 5:26:07 PM
        echo <datemedia yyyy>;  // 2015
      To set the created date of all selected items to their "media created" date, you can 
      do this (note that the single quotes are essential here, otherwise all items get the 
      date of the focused item):
        timestamp c, '<datemedia>'; //set created date of all selected items to their "media created" date
