v23.40.0004 - 2022-08-04 12:04
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show dimensions of original image on 
      thumbnail: Previously the dimensions were not shown for thumbs that were smaller 
      than 32 pixels in any dimensions. Now the dimensions are shown for all thumbs, no 
      matter how small.
      Also improved the placement of the dimensions label.
    ! Color Filters: Property-driven color filters (eg B:prop:#empty:2|s) were not always 
      auto-updated in Tree when necessary. Fixed.
    ! SC renameitem: Overwriting with flag 8 (Silent overwrite on name collision) 
      did not work for folders, just for files. Fixed. Now it works, but only if the 
      overwritten folder is empty. For example, this will work if the folder 
      "ExistingFolder" is empty:
        renameitem("ExistingFolder", , 8); //rename selected folder to "ExistingFolder"

v23.40.0003 - 2022-08-02 19:22
    + Cache Folder Sizes: Added a tweak to control which subfolder sizes are automatically 
      added to the cache while a folder size is calculated.
        CacheFolderSizesAutoAddFrom=256   //auto-add subfolders containing at least 256 items
        CacheFolderSizesAutoAddFrom=0     //auto-add all subfolders
        CacheFolderSizesAutoAddFrom=-1    //do NOT auto-add any subfolders
      Notes:
        - This tweak only concerns the levels beyond the first sublevel of the folder 
          being calculated. Subfolders directly below the folder being calculated are 
          always auto-added.
        - Empty subfolders are never auto-added.
        - The previously hard-coded value of 256 is now the factory default (and the value 
          for upgraders). The idea here is to limit the size of the cache by only 
          auto-caching larger folders that are actually worth caching.
    * View | Sort By | Random Order: Now, experimentally, if "Configuration | General | 
      Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort folders apart" is enabled then only the order of the 
      files is randomized whereas the other items (folders or drives) are kept on top in 
      alphabetically ascending order.
    % Special Columns for Hash: These calculations can take a while when dealing with huge 
      files. Now the app will be more responsive while the calculations are in progress 
      and you can stop them instantly at any time by pressing ESC.
    ! Hamburger: The new prefixed separator syntax failed when it was used in the very 
      first item. Fixed.

v23.40.0002 - 2022-08-02 12:15
    + Hamburger, SC popupmenu, SC popupnested: A new alternative item syntax is supported, 
      where you can define the item separator per item, and have script items with a 
      custom caption, icon, and mouse-over-status.
      Defining the separator: If the second character of the item definition is ">" then 
      the first character is the separator.
      The icon and status fields are optional. Theses are the three general forms:
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Definition                        Default values for non-defined fields
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |>caption|::script                icon = script icon; status = the script
        |>caption|::script|icon           status = the script
        |>caption|::script|icon|status
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Or using e.g. / as separator:
        />caption/::script            
        />caption/::script/icon       
        />caption/::script/icon/status
      Example definitions as used in Hamburger:
        |>Green|::tag 4
        |>Blue|::tag 5|:labels
        |>Purple|::tag 6|:labels|make it purple
      Example for popupnested (here you can pass the separator, no need to prefix it):
        $menu = <<<MENU
          Green|::tag 4|kiss.ico
          Blue|::tag 5|heart.ico
          MENU;
          $command = popupnested($menu,,,,,,,|);
    + List: Added tweak to control whether the focused element within a multi-selection is 
      drawn slightly lighter to make it stand out.
        ListHighlightFocusedSelection=1
      By factory default and for upgraders it is set to 1. So nothing will change for 
      anybody unless you actively tweak it.

v23.40.0001 - 2022-07-30 12:00
    + Paste and Go: Now you can also paste relative paths. They will be resolved relative 
      to the current list path.
      Note, however, that the relative path must contain at least one backslash or forward 
      slash to ensure it is a path and not a "Paste and Find" pattern.
    ! Folder Thumbnails: Since 20220718 getting a thumbnail for a folder named e.g. "[_AV" 
      (opening square bracket without a closing square bracket) would raise error 93 
      (Invalid pattern string). Fixed.
    ! MLS: Probably since 20220201 the on-the-fly language switch did not work for all 
      toolbar buttons anymore. Fixed.

v23.30.0214 - 2022-07-29 13:36
    + Tree: Now when you hold SHIFT, right-click on empty will pop the "Tools | Customize 
      Tree..." menu. Gives you quick access to these settings.
      This is done only if CEA "Right-click on white in folder tree" is not set to "Run 
      script". Reason: Scripts might want to make use of that modifier key.

v23.30.0213 - 2022-07-28 21:29
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Folder Tree...: 
      The expansion altering commands in the "Expansion" submenu now even work on LES (Lock 
      Expansion State), but only when called via this menu. So you have a chance to alter 
      a locked expansion state without unlocking it first.
      And I added (unfortunately after releasing MLS 8.149) the simple "Toggle Expansion" 
      command which does the same as clicking an expansion icon.

v23.30.0212 - 2022-07-28 10:13
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced. Added fields "ShowIcon" and "ShowDimensions" to the 
      "settings" argument:
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding,Transparency,ShowIcon,ShowDimensions"], [separator=","])
        settings:
          ShowIcon: 0 or 1 or ! (toggle 0/1)
                    = Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail
          ShowDimensions: 0 or 1 or ! (toggle 0/1)
                    = Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show dimensions of original image on thumbnail
      Examples:
        thumbsconf(",,,,,0"); //ShowIcon off
        thumbsconf(",,,,,1"); //ShowIcon on
        thumbsconf(",,,,,!"); //toggle ShowIcon
        thumbsconf(",,,,,,0"); //ShowDimensions off
        thumbsconf(",,,,,,1"); //ShowDimensions on
        thumbsconf(",,,,,,!"); //toggle ShowDimensions
      Note that thumbsconf() now returns 7 values, e.g.:
        echo thumbsconf(); //1,0,0,4,0,0,0
    * Tools | Customize Tree | Lock Expansion State: Now the Expansion Icons take a 
      special form if the expansion state is locked.
    * Updated the help file.

    + Tools | Customize Tree: Added toggle "Lock Expansion State". Tick it to completely 
      disable expanding/collapsing nodes in the Tree.
    * Lock Expansion State: The logical binding to Lock Tree added this morning has been 
      removed.
    - Tree | Expansion Icons: Removed the new context menu items added this morning.
    - Removed tweak LockTreeNodes. Now it's handled by Tools | Customize Tree | Lock 
      Expansion State.
    * Updated the help file.

    + Tree | Expansion Icons: Their Ctrl+Right-Click context menu now features the "Lock 
      Tree" toggle (same as "View | Lock Tree") and the new "Lock Expansion State" toggle, 
      which raises tweak LockTreeNodes to UI.
    * Lock Expansion State (previously tweak LockTreeNodes): Now this setting only takes 
      effect if "Lock Tree" is enabled as well, so it only works as a radicalization of 
      "Lock Tree".
    * Updated the help file.

v23.30.0208 - 2022-07-26 14:20
    + Rocker-Click: Now it also works on Tree nodes (pops reduced/fast context menu) and 
      Status Bar (pops "Copy Status to Clipboard").
    + Tree: Added a tweak to completely disable expanding/collapsing nodes in the Tree:
        LockTreeNodes=1
      It affects all sorts of clicking and keyboard actions in the tree, including context 
      menu commands related to expansion. Can be useful as a radicalization of View | Lock 
      Tree.
    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Show item count with folder sizes: 
      Non-calculated folders were wrongly shown as "empty" in the status bar when selected 
      and focused. Fixed.
    ! View | Views | Details with Thumbnails: There was a blind spot between "Thumbs" and 
      "Name" column where Hover Highlighting disappeared. Fixed.

v23.30.0207 - 2022-07-25 09:46
    + List | Column Headers | Ctrl+Right-Click Menu: Added command "Autosize Column". 
      Resizes the column to fit its content. It does exactly the same as if you 
      double-clicked the right column splitter (which sometimes is out of reach).
      Note that the menu can be opened one-handedly using the "rocker-click" 
      (Left-Mouse-Down + Right-Mouse-Click).
    + List | Column Headers | Ctrl+Right-Click Menu: Added command "Autosize All Columns". 
      Resizes all columns to fit their contents. It does the same as if you double-clicked 
      the Line Numbers column header ("#"), or if you used "View | Columns | Autosize 
      Columns Now".
    + Network: Improved the support for VmWare Shared Folders on mapped drives. 
      Auto-refresh should work better now.
    ! Folder Thumbnails: Non-square thumbs were shrunk disproportionally when tweak 
      clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth was set to a higher value. Fixed.
    ! Folder Thumbnails: Obeyed to "Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Align to 
      bottom" but should not. Fixed.

v23.30.0206 - 2022-07-24 14:46
    * Folder Thumbnails: Back to the 1-pixel fixed outer margin (the way it was all the 
      years before). The clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth tweak is added to that (as inner 
      margin).
      There's also something new here: Set tweak clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth to -1 to 
      suppress that outer border. Folder thumbnails are then completely unmarked and look 
      exactly like file thumbnails.
    ! Branch View: On Show Folder Sizes, the byte count of selected folders was not shown 
      (or, worse, shown as zero/empty) in the Status Bar when *only* folders were selected 
      or listed. Fixed. Now the byte count of folders is only ignored if also files are 
      selected or listed; this is done to avoid double counts.
    ! Status Bar: Ctrl+Wheel could raise error 380 since 20220630. Fixed.

v23.30.0205 - 2022-07-23 14:10
    + Configuration | General | Tree and List: Added option "Show cached folder sizes 
      only". Tick it to avoid automatic folder size calculation. Only folder sizes already 
      present in the cache are displayed in the list, no automatic (and probably 
      time-consuming) calculation will kick in.
      - You still can explicitly trigger a calculation by View | Calculate Folder 
        Sizes (Shift+F5) or by "Refresh Folder Sizes" from the Size Column Context Menu. 
        The freshly calculated sizes are then added to the cache.
      - The setting only takes effect if "Configuration | General | tree and list | list | 
        Cache Folder Sizes" is checked.
      FYI, this raises tweak CachedFolderSizesShowCachedOnly to UI.
    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Added tweak to 
      control the extra border width for folder thumbnails:
        clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=8
      Factory default is 8 (pixels). On upgrading though it's set to 1 to keep things as 
      they were.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Removed the hard 
      1-pixel border. Now all is controlled by above new tweak. If you want the 1 pixel 
      margin back, set the tweak to 1.
    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Video preview | Preview static frame, skip: If 
      checked it now overrides "Configuration | Preview | Preview | Audio/Video preview | 
      Autoplay", i.e. videos will show a static frame even if Autoplay is checked.
    * Configuration | Preview | Preview | Video preview | Preview static frame, skip: 
      Split it into two separate options: "Preview as thumbnail" and "Skip: ... 
      milliseconds". "Preview as thumbnail" alone works very fast, whereas with "Skip" 
      the video has to be loaded, forwarded, and paused, which is slower, of course.
      Note that Skip is supported only in the Preview Tab. Preview Pane and Floating 
      Preview will show the shell preview in paused state.
    - Removed this setting from v22.40.0213 - 2021-11-07 18:17. It's not really needed 
      anymore, rather confusing, and also dysfunctional since 20220120:
      + List | Size Column | Context Menu: Added toggle "Use Cache on Calculate 
        Folder Sizes". Tick it to make "View | Calculate Folder Sizes" pull the 
        folder size data from the cache. FYI, the INI key is CachedFolderSizesOnCalc.
    * List | Size Column | Context Menu: Renamed "Refresh Folder Sizes" to "Calculate 
      Folder Sizes", because this command here is now actually a perfect mirror of "View | 
      Calculate Folder Sizes". Note that this applies to all selected folders, or all 
      folders if none are selected.
    + List | Size Column | Context Menu: Added command "Clear Folder Size Cache Here". It 
      will remove the current list path and all its subfolders (i.e. the complete current 
      branch) from the Folder Size Cache.
    * List | Size Column | Context Menu: Renamed "Clear Folder Size Cache..." to "Clear 
      Folder Size Cache Everywhere...". It's clearer in terms of impact.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.149.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.149.lng is uploaded.

v23.30.0204 - 2022-07-22 12:50
    + Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Cache folder sizes: Added a tweak 
      that allows you to avoid automatic folder size calculation.
        CachedFolderSizesShowCachedOnly=1
      If set to 1 then, if "Cache folder sizes" is ON, only folder sizes already present 
      in the cache are displayed in the list, no automatic (and probably time-consuming) 
      calculation will kick in.
      Notes:
      - You still can explicitly trigger a calculation by View | Calculate Folder 
        Sizes (Shift+F5) or by "Refresh Folder Sizes" from the Size Column Context Menu.
      - If successful the setting will be added to the UI later.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Now the yellow margin 
      is fatter to clearly distinguish a folder thumb from a file thumb. This is 
      expecially helpful where the thumbnail is a perfect square.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails: Slightly changed the 
      yellow color.
    * Batch Rename Preview: Now the full path of the original items is shown if they are 
      from different locations.
    ! SC recase: Title Case was not applied to the component after the last dot even if 
      the "set extensions to lower case" bit was not set. Fixed.
