v21.90.0022 - 2021-06-18 18:59
    % Info Panel | Find Files | Name & Location | Type Filter: Improved the 
      interface of this locked dropdown (locked = you cannot type into the box, 
      just select items from a closed list).
      - Now you can click anywhere in the box to open the dropdown.
      - You don't get a misleading text cursor anymore when hovering the box.
      - A focus rect tells you when it has the focus.
      In the long run this XY native control will replace all standard windows 
      locked dropdowns. The most obvious gain will become apparent in Dark Mode: 
      These controls now will be dark, not light-grey anymore like now. :)
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show tips for 
      clipped tree and list items: These tips were no longer always showing when 
      they should. Fixed.

v21.90.0018 - 2021-06-17 15:36
    * List | Thumbnails Views: Experimentally you will get 96x96 system icons 
      now (for those items that do not have a real thumbnail AND that have a 
      Jumbo size system icon available) when the current thumbnail size is >= 96 
      and < 128. Before, those icons were 48x48.
      While the size is now like in File Explorer, the quality alas is not. 
      Unfortunately there is no documentation about the origin of those high 
      quality 96x96 icons. They look like originals, whereas XY is forced to 
      shrink them from the 256x256 jumbo versions.
    * Custom Copy | Progress Dialog: Changed the preselected button from Cancel 
      to Pause. In this moment Pause is the default button anyway so having the 
      focus on another button is simply wrong. Also the ENTER key should 
      normally not cancel any operation.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0168.

      Context...: When option "Tiles and Thumbnails" was off File Info Tips 
      began to show over thumbnails in v21.90.0015. That was not really 
      intended. Fixed.

v21.90.0015 - 2021-06-16 14:39
    + Find Files | Name & Location: Added option "Maximum depth". Check it to 
      limit the recursion depth of the search. The adjacent dropdown offers 16 
      depth levels (plus level "0" which is identical to "do NOT recurse any 
      subfolders). E.g. maximum depth 2 means: Search the current location and 2 
      levels deeper.
      - If the "Include subfolders" checkbox is off then the "Maximum depth" 
        setting is ignored. This should be clear from the indenting. No need to 
        castrate the user experience by additionally diabling the checkbox.
      - The same functionality was already available as a Search Pattern Switch: 
        /maxdepth (or short form /md). Now you have it in the GUI as well.
      - Note that the / maxdepth switch, if present, overrides the GUI setting.
    * Custom Copy: The progress dialog was allowed to overlap the right and 
      bottom border of the screen by 50 pixels. Not anymore.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0167.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box | Select 
      Context...: The option "Tiles and Thumbnails" apparently never worked for 
      thumbnails views, only for tiles. Fixed. Now you will get a Hover Box over 
      thumbnails if "Tiles and Thumbnails" is ticked.

v21.90.0011 - 2021-06-15 18:59
    * Custom Columns: Rearranged the factory default custom columns and added 
      the first 9 of them (5 image props + 4 media props) to the default columns 
      offered in the menu "View | Columns" for Browse and Find modes. Before, 
      there were only 5 image prop default columns.
      The main reason for this change is to have the 4 most important media prop 
      columns (Length, Sample Rate, Bit Depth, Bit Rate) at the user's hand 
      right after unboxing.
      Whereas the rearrangement only affects fresh instances, all instances will 
      have 4 more items in the Show Columns list now (39 instead of 35). Of 
      course, you can add columns to that list (View | Columns | Add Column) but 
      39 is now the minimum number on display in this list.

v21.90.0010 - 2021-06-15 11:25
    * View | Columns | Add Column: The newly added column was called 
      "(Undefined)" initially since 20141216. Not very helpful to new users. How 
      can you guess that the next step is to right-click that column header? 
      This column header is now called "Right-click here...".
    * Predefined Custom Columns: The special property columns Bit Depth, Bit 
      Rate, Channels, Length, and Sample Rate had been limited to 
      "wav;ogg;flac;mp3" via the "Item filter" field. This filter has been 
      changed to "{:Media}" to make the columns work for more formats including 
      videos. (Only affects fresh instances.)
    ! Adaptive Name Column Width: If enabled then autosizing the Name column did 
      not work anymore since v21.90.0009. Fixed.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.132.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.132.lng is uploaded.

    % Adaptive Name Column Width: Found a smarter way to achieve the same as in 
      v21.90.0008 with less drawing. What a tangled path to enlightenment!
    ! Branch View: When sorted by Name the implicit secondary sort field should 
      be Path. Since 20130319 this was not the case when "Configuration | 
      General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort filenames by base" was ticked.

v21.90.0008 - 2021-06-14 13:08
    + Added tweak that allows you to spare named tabs from getting shrunk when 
      the space is scarce, i.e. to restore the behavior from before v21.90.0006:
        TabDoNotShrinkNamedTabs=1
    ! Tab Bar Auto Scroll: The selected tab could disappear when space got 
      smaller than the tab itself. Fixed.
    ! Custom Display Scaling: On certain settings certain Status Bar icons came 
      out too small. Fixed.
    ! Catalog: With graphic-changing toolbar icons present in the Catalog you 
      could get a phantom line at the top position of the Catalog under certain 
      conditions. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Adaptive name 
      column width: Still not good when toggling Branch View and changing the 
      list width in between. Fixed.

    + Tab Bar Auto Scroll: Experimentally it's now ensured that the header of 
      the current tab is always visible within the view port. To achieve this 
      the tab headers are horizontally scrolled to the left internally as 
      necessary.
      - Tab Bar Auto Scroll is only active when the 'Tab List' button is shown 
        (Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Show 'Tab List' button). You 
        will need this menu to select a tab that's scrolled out of view.
      - Apart from enabling the 'Tab List' button you have nothing to do, it 
        just works.
      - Later, if the feature turns out to be good, it will be made optional. 
        Otherwise it goes to the garbage can.
    * Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Flexible tab width: Moved up the 
      checkbox to the other width-related settings.
    * Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Flexible tab width: If ticked then 
      named tabs (via "Rename Tab...") did not shrink below the space needed 
      to show the full name -- it's like this since v7.90.0251 - 2009-05-06 
      11:39.
      Now I think this exception is rather confusing to users and costs valuable 
      space needed by other tabs. I removed it: All tabs now shrink equally.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Adaptive name 
      column width: The situation was not always fully restored as it should 
      across tab switches and sessions, sometimes leading to super-wide Name 
      columns. Fix #2.
    ! Tabs: Right after startup you would not get a Hover Box or tooltip on the 
      left-most tab header of each pane. Fixed.

    ! Tab Bar: A Hover Box triggered from a Tab Bar icon would not disappear 
      when moving the mouse to the adjacent New Tab or Tab List button or over 
      the empty part of the Tab Bar. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Adaptive name 
      column width: The situation was not always fully restored as it should 
      across tab switches and sessions, sometimes leading to super-wide Name 
      columns. Fixed.
    ! Menu View | Sort By | Random Order: Did reshuffle when you created a new 
      item in a randomized list. Fixed. Now new items are appended to the bottom 
      of a randomized list.

v21.90.0004 - 2021-06-11 15:00
    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs: Added option "Minimum / Maximum tab 
      width in pixels (0 = use defaults)" offering two input boxes. This 
      replaces the old option "Maximum tab width in pixels (0 = use all space)".
      So the news is that you can now define a minimum width for tabs 
      (previously only possible via tweak TabWidthMin).
      Notes:
      - The defaults are: Minimum = 25, Maximum = unlimited.
      - While it says "pixels" the value is auto-adjusted to the screen scaling. 
        E.g. on 150% a value of 80 will be internally converted to 120 pixels.
      - The hard minimum value for both fields is internally set to 25. You 
        cannot go below that. This is internally validated and silently 
        corrected if necessary.
      - Of course, the min value cannot be bigger than the max value. This is 
        internally validated and silently corrected if necessary.
      - If you set the same value to both fields the tabs will be totally fixed 
        to that size.
      - Named tabs will not shrink below the space needed to show the full name. 
        FYI, this is a rule from v7.90.0251 - 2009-05-06 11:39, and currently I 
        wonder if it is still a good rule...
    - Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs: Removed option "Maximum tab width 
      in pixels (0 = use all space)".
    * Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Dual Pane: Re-organized the page and 
      renamed some options:
        Sync Select honors relative paths             -> Sync Select | Honor relative paths
        Sync Browse auto-creates any missing folders  -> Sync Browse | Auto-create any missing folders
    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Dual Pane: Added an option that was only 
      available in the context menu of the "Sync Browse" toolbar button before 
      (as "Auto-Sync Select"): Auto-select matching items. Tick it to 
      auto-select any matching item in the other pane when you select an item in 
      this pane.
    * Toolbar | Sync Browse | Context Menu: Renamed "Auto-Sync Select" to 
      "Auto-Select Matching Items".
    + Toolbar | Sync Browse | Context Menu: Added option "Auto-Create Any 
      Missing Folders".
    * INI file: Changed key "AutoSyncSelect" to "SyncBrowseAutoSelectMatches" 
      (consistency obsession). Your previous setting goes to Nirvana, sorry.

    + Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Dual Pane: Added option "Sync Browse 
      auto-creates any missing folders". Does what it says without further 
      questions. When you dive into a folder that does not exist in the other 
      location it will be created as an empty folder and then you go into it.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Dual Pane | Tab key: Had a nonsense

    ! Ignore diacritics: Wouldn't handle Persian character "Yeh with 2 dots". 
      Fixed.
    ! Live Filter Box: This fix in v21.70.0002 - 2021-04-15 19:09 lead to a 
      wrong alignment when the LFB was next to the Address Bar:
        With larger font sizes there could emerge some graphical artifacts (aka 
        pixel dirt) in the Live Filter Box. Fixed.
      Removed the fix. Currently have no other one. Or maybe I do:
    * Status Bar: Increased the height by 2 pixels. Gives a more relaxed look 
      and en passant solves the LFB issue here above.
