v22.80.0004 - 2022-02-06 15:29
  +++ Toolbar: Added support for "text buttons", i.e. buttons that display a text instead 
      of an icon, and added thirteen of such buttons. They can be used to emulate the 
      main menubar in the toolbar: File, Edit, View, Go ... etc., each pops one of the 
      main menus on mousedown.
      FYI, still working on paging through opened menus by moving the mouse over to the 
      next button. Turns out to be surprisingly tricky.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

v22.80.0003 - 2022-02-05 20:17
    + Tags: Added a tweak to define a separator between a short display form and a long
      form of each tag. For example:
        TagsShortSep=:
      Now if you add a tag "cf:chicken farm" to a file, only "cf" will be displayed in the 
      Tags column. In all other contexts you will see the whole tag "cf:chicken farm".
      So the idea behind this is to fit more information in the Tags column. Note that if 
      TagsShortSep is defined then the cell tooltip will always show the whole tags.
    + Air: Here's a tweak I already added 20170226 but never really finished. Now I found 
      the time. It will pump some air into everything on the main window. More air will 
      make it look a less crammed. Allowed values are -4 to 12. Example:
        AirPixels=4
      Yes, you can also let air out if you want to pack even more stuff into the screen:
        AirPixels=-2      
    * Go | Tablist...: Also moved the tab indices from the menu to the status bar.
      If you need it the old way you can opt in via a tweak (which is now a bit field):
        TabListShowFullPath=2

    * Go | Tablist...: Now the full path (in square brackets) is not shown anymore in the 
      tab list by default. Too much information. Instead the full path is now shown in the 
      status bar when you hover the popup menu items.
      If you need it the old way you can opt in via a tweak:
        TabListShowFullPath=1
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons | Vertical Popup Toolbars: Popped in the wrong place when 
      triggered by right or middle button. Fixed.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons | Vertical Popup Toolbars: Removed a 2nd popup when triggered 
      by right button.
    > Custom Toolbar Buttons | Vertical Popup Toolbars: To get to the "Edit..." command 
      you have to hold CTRL while right-clicking.
    ! Toolbar: Slim buttons weren't always horizontally centered when they should. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar: Some arrow overlays were wrongly placed in zoomed toolbars or with Extra 
      Large Buttons. Fixed.

v22.80.0001 - 2022-02-04 11:10
  +++ Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now the Hamburger syntax you already know from the 
      Breadcrumbs menu button also works in Custom Toolbar Buttons. This makes it totally 
      easy to create buttons that pop "vertical toolbars" (which actually are popup menus, 
      of course) by just setting up a list of button keys prefixed by ":".
      For example, simply paste this (via the Edit button) into the "On left-click" field 
      of the "Edit User Button" dialog (ensure it's totally left-aligned):      
        :dpmoveto
        :dpcopyto
        -
        :newfolder
        :copypath
        :showfolders
        -
        :pp
      
      Notes:
      - More complex definitions are possible as well, including scripts and nested 
        submenus (see Breadcrumb Bars | Customizing the Hamburger in the Help).
      - There is one important condition: The definition has to start with a single 
        colon ":". That's a safe way to distinguish a Hamburger definition from a 
        conventional multi-script definition (which needs a different parser).
      - Tick "Fire click on mousedown" for the smoothest experience.
      - The beauty of this feature is that it adds a 2nd dimension to the toolbar. With 
        very little work you can create buttons that pop vertical toolbars right from the 
        main horizontal toolbar.
     * Toolbar | Show Menu: Changed graphics from dots to stripes.

v22.70.0285 - 2022-02-01 13:11
    + Toolbar: Added the first slim button (takes 18 horizontal pixels instead of 30), 
      "Show Menu": Let's you toggle the main menu.
      More slim buttons will follow. For the price of a smaller target you gain more space 
      and more targets.
      Upgraders will have to add the button via Tools | Customize Toolbar...
    + Variable <get [Command ID] [ReturnOnTrue = 1] [ReturnOnFalse = 0]> 
      now also supports this:
        #481 = View | Suspend Auto-Refresh  (True if Auto-Refresh is off or suspended)
      Example:
        echo get("#481", "Auto-Refresh Off", "Auto-Refresh On");
    * File | To Clipboard | Item Name(s) (Ctrl+Shift+P): Now if the focus is in the list 
      but no items are selected the current folder name is copied to the clipboard.
      Before, an empty string was copied, i.e. the clipboard was emptied.
    ! Dark Mode: An invisible tab bar was not redrawn on Dark/Light Mode switch leading to 
      an apparently empty bar (scary!) when shown later. Fixed.

    % Mouse Down Blow Up: Improved the initial position of the blow up for non-images (on 
      icons and thumbnails) so that as much as possible is within the viewport.
    ! Audio Preview: Retrieving the tooltip on a misformed OGG-file could raise an error 
      and lock the file till app exit. Fixed.

      the Address Bar.
    + Dark Mode | Dropdowns: Now the hovered dropdown button is dark.
    % Labels: Decided to go back a bit to 6 pixels, the 9 pixels did not play too well

    + Dark Mode | Dropdowns: Managed to make them dark! But since there is no real Windows 
      support for this (I hope they are still working on it) I had to use a dirty hack. 
      The result looks a bit retro-futuristic but you will get used to it. Better than 
      white.
      - You need Win 10 release 2004 (May 2020) or higher.
    % Labels: In many list views, a label's background color was not visible when the file 
      was selected (because it was completely covered by the selection color). Now it is 
      ensured that some of the label color is always visible.
      While at it I made that visible minimum 5 pixels wider.

    + Dark Mode | Multiline Text Boxes: Now also here the scrollbars are dark.
    + Dark Mode | Address Bar (and other dropdowns): Now also here the scrollbars are dark 
      right away when starting in dark mode.
    % Dark Mode | Popup Menus: Now the app correctly detects Windows dark mode at startup 
      so that the menu icons are always drawn with the right background color. No need 
      anymore to sync Windows and XY dark mode. The v22.70.0245 limitation is gone.

    + Dark Mode: Now the title bar and window borders are dark if XY is in Dark Mode. 
      Actually "dark" is pitch black, currently I see no way to customize this blackness 
      within XY. Of course, you can always customize the title bar and border colors via 
      Windows display settings.
      - You need Win 10 release 2004 (May 2020) or higher.
    + Dark Mode: Now the popup menus (also from the main menu, but unfortunately not the 
      main menu bar itself) are dark if Windows itself is in Dark Mode. Yes, this color 
      apparently (or should I say "currently"? -- MS's implementation of Dark Mode in 
      Windows is still work in progress) cannot be controlled by XY's own Dark Mode.
      - You need Win 10 release 2004 (May 2020) or higher.
      - If Windows itself is in Dark (Light) Mode then XYplorer should be in Dark (Light) 
        Mode as well already on start up. Only then the icons in popup menus are drawn 
        with the right background color. (This limitation will probably disappear in the 
        future.)
