    * Configuration: Buttons of the "Apply To..." type are now always enabled 
      regardless of the super-setting. The ability to always look into a button 
      is more important than a redundant visual feedback.
    ! Splash Screen: It was not centered in screen when the XY window was 
      maximized. Fixed.

      its old name and functionality back.
    + 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.
    + SC loadtree enhanced: Added "flags" parameter.
      Syntax: loadtree [pathlist], [modify], [flags]
        flags: (bit field)

      Remarks:
        Can be useful to avoid race conditions when loading a tree via a CEA script.

v22.40.0210 - 2021-11-06 16:02
    + Toolbar: Added button "Hover Box". Lets you toggle the setting 
      "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover 
      Box" directly from the toolbar. The right-click menu also features a 
      toggle for "Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | 
      Show file info tips" and a link to the configuration page.
    * Configuration | General | Startup & Exit: Added option "Show splash 
      screen". Tick it to show a splash screen while the app is loading.
    > Added some debug info to the splash screen.
    % Word Break Style: Improved the automatic word boundary recognition (on 
      double-click, Ctrl+Arrow, Ctrl+BackSpace) in the text boxes of the Catalog 
      Properties dialog.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing 
      the location: The reused tab would have the properties of a default folder 
      view setting, if any. Fixed.
    ! Show Folder Sizes: In a list with many folders, there was a noticeable 
      slowdown even with cached folder sizes when the list was sorted by size.

v22.40.0209 - 2021-11-05 13:53
    + SC setthumb rewritten from scratch.
      Action: Sets a specific thumbnail for one or more currently listed items.
      Syntax: setthumb [item], [thumb], [mapfile]
        item:    Item to set the thumbnail for.
                 - The path defaults to the current list path.
                 - This item has to be present in the current list.
                 If omitted then the thumbnail is set for all currently selected items.
        thumb:   File to be used as thumbnail.
                 - The path defaults to <xyicons>.
        mapfile: File with a list of "item > thumb" mappings.
                 - The path defaults to <xydata>.
      Examples:
        setthumb , "E:\Test\thumbs\stars.jpg"; //set it for all selected files
        setthumb , "stars.jpg"; //it's in path <xyicons>
        setthumb "E:\Test\Meskalin.exe", "\\Vega\shared\Test\Pics\BlowUp.jpg";
        setthumb "Meskalin.exe", <clp>; //pull thumb from clipboard
      Remarks on the mapfile:
      - By setting a mapfile you can permanently patch the thumbnails of any 
        items on your system. This includes setting thumbnails for items that 
        otherwise would have none.
      - You only have to set it once with SetThumb. It then sticks in the INI 
        file until you change it to another map file or set it to "".
      - Syntax: One mapping per line, generic format: item > thumb. "item" can 
        be full path, a mere filename, or a wildcard pattern. The lines are 
        processed from top to bottom. First match wins.
        Examples:
          D:\Test\Java.psd > E:\Test\thumbs\injection\palmoil.jpg
          E:\Space\* > E:\Test\thumbs\stars.jpg
          XY-HoverBoxKeyBoardTricks.txt > E:\XY\XYlogo.png
          *.exe > E:\Test\thumbs\injection\motor.jpg
          * > E:\Icons\item.ico
      - Updating the map file does not automatically update the thumbnails cache 
        nor the currently shown thumbnails. If you want to see an immediate 
        effect you have to call #510 (View | Caches | Refresh Thumbnails):
          setthumb 2:="XYthumbsMap.txt"; #501;  //set map file + refresh thumbnails
          setthumb 2:=""; #501;                 //reset map file + refresh thumbnails
    * Startup: Experimentally, there is now a small loading screen. Something to 
      look at while the app is loading, centered on where the app will be.

v22.40.0205 - 2021-11-04 13:17
    + Custom Event Actions: Added new event "Switch Tabs" with 3 actions: None, 
      Optimize tree, Run script. It is fired after the switching of tabs is 
      fully completed.
    + SC setthumb enhanced: Now you can pass a specific item to set the 
      thumbnail for.
      Syntax: setthumb source, [item]
        source: Full path to the file to be used as thumbnail.
        item:   Item to set the thumbnail for.
                If you omit the full path, the current list path is assumed.
                Note: This item has to be present in the current list.
      Examples:
        setthumb "\\Vega\shared\Test\Pics\BlowUp.jpg", "E:\Test\Meskalin.exe";
        setthumb <clp>, "Meskalin.exe";
    % Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Sizes (= List | Size Column Context 
      Menu | Show Folder Sizes): Switching off this value now works faster and 
      more smoothly (no more flickering in the file list).
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing 
      the location: Under certain conditions the list style and other properties 
      (eg any Visual Filter) in the reused tab were lost. Fixed.

v22.40.0203 - 2021-11-03 14:41
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: SetThumb
      Action: Sets a specific thumbnail to all selected files.
      Syntax: setthumb source
        source: Full path to the file to be used as thumbnail.
      Remarks:
        - The list has to be in a view with thumbnails for this command to work.
        - The injected thumbnails will also be remembered in the cache (but only 
          for this particular thumbnails size).
        - The injected thumbnails will not survive a "Refresh Thumbnails".
        - You can use this command on files (or folders) that you need a 
          different thumbnail for, or files (or folders) that for some reason 
          don't get a thumbnail at all.
      Examples:
        setthumb "\\Vega\shared\Test\Pics\BlowUp.jpg";
        setthumb <clp>;        
    > Folder Size Cache: FYI, with the new "Refresh Folder Sizes" you can update 
      individual folder sizes when you select these folders in the list.
    * View | Calculate Folder Sizes: Renamed to "Show Folder Sizes Now".
    * Folder Sizes: The status message "getting folder size for <$path>... (ESC 
      to stop)" is now also displayed for all recursive subfolders. That way it 
      does not seem to hang on a very deeply nested and large folder.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.138.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.138.lng is uploaded.

v22.40.0202 - 2021-11-02 17:07
    + List | Size Column Context Menu: Added command "Refresh Folder Sizes". Use 
      this command to calculate the actual folder sizes for the current list and 
      refresh the cache (if caching is enabled). It's like "Calculate Folder 
      Sizes" but without using the cache.
    * View | Calculate Folder Sizes: This command now pulls the folder sizes 
      from the cache, if any. To get fresh folder sizes, now use the new "Update 
      Folder Sizes" command (see above).
    * Folder Sizes: The status message "getting folder size for <$path>... (ESC 
      to stop)" is now only shown for non-cached folders. Saves time.
    ! Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | Show 
      Recycle Bin folder: If turned off then in Maxi Tree the dotted line 
      between drives was not displayed. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing 
      | Queue file operations: It is possible that a completed delete operation 
      could trigger the next job in the queue, even though a previous job was 
      not yet completed. Fixed.

v22.40.0201 - 2021-11-01 11:35
    + SC get got a new named argument "selext". Use it to return a list of all 
      currently selected file extensions in the common format "*.aaa;*.bbb;*.ccc".
      Syntax: get("selext", [separator=";"])
      Examples:
        echo get("selext");         //*.eml;*.epfxg;*.eps;*.exe;*.flv;*.gif
        echo get("selext", " | ");  //*.eml | *.epfxg | *.eps | *.exe | *.flv | *.gif
      Variable-style syntax:
        echo <get selext>;          //*.eml;*.epfxg;*.eps;*.exe;*.flv;*.gif
        echo <get selext " | ">;    //*.eml | *.epfxg | *.eps | *.exe | *.flv | *.gif
     Remarks:
      - For files without extension the pattern "*." is returned.
      - Selected folders are ignored. If only folders are selected then nothing 
        is returned.
       - You can use it to revive the recently dropped command "View | Tab | 
         Filter By Selected Extension(s)" by using this Visual Filter definition:
          |<get selext>
      - Tip: Add it to the Power Filters via Tools | List Management | Power 
        Filters...:
          "Selected Extension(s)" <get selext>
    * Tweak LargePlusMinus now defaults to 22. Was 21 before. This change will 
      only affect fresh installations.
    ! Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Open command line start path in 
      new tab: On a locked tree it opened a new tab even when tabs were not 
      remembered from the previous session. That was not the idea of the 
      setting. Fixed.
