v28.00.0720 - 2025-11-21 20:26
    % Multiple Monitors: Much improved monitor switch experience, smooth, robust and 
      correct. Not all dialogs are supported yet, but they will be added one by one over 
      the next few days.
    % Startup and Exit: Both are more fluid now.
    ! Mouse Down Blow Up: It only half-worked on images in the Preview Pane and Preview 
      tab (move stopped when the mouse left the preview area). Fixed.
    ! Dialogs: Sometimes (race condition) closing a dialog by clicking on a button could 
      crash the whole app when that button had a tooltip that was yet to show. Fixed.

v28.00.0705 - 2025-11-20 20:33
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced: Added optional "flags" argument:
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding,Transparency, _
                  ShowIcon,ShowDimensions,OverlayCaption,FolderThumbs,ZoomToFit"], [separator=","], [flags])
        flags (bit field):
          0 = [Default]
          1 = NoRefresh. Changing Transparency causes a refresh of all current thumnbails. 
              Pass this bit to suppress the refresh.
      Example: 
        thumbsconf(",,,,1,,,,,", ,1); //set transparency to "grid", no refresh
    + SC exit enhanced: Now you can use it restart an elevated XYplorer as unelevated 
      (without administrator rights).
      Name:   Exit
      Action: Exit XYplorer, optionally with restart.
      Syntax: exit [mode]
        mode: 
          sru = restart unelevated with saving
          nru = restart unelevated without saving
    ! Configuration | Jump to Setting...: Error "Unknown name" possible since 20251106 
      when jumping to a setting. Fixed.

    + Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: Added a bit of color coding to make the situation 
      easier to grasp.
      - Size of the copied file is smaller: red
        Size of the copied file is larger: blue
      - Date of the copied file is older: red
        Date of the copied file is newer: blue
      So blue lines are usually okay whereas red lines might need your attention.
    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0025.
    % High DPI: Improved the drawing of chevrons in Tree and Catalog at 200% and higher.
    % High DPI: Improved the drawing of chevrons and arrows in the Breadcrumb Bars.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Preview | Image preview | Transparency grid colors: Did 
      not auto-adjust to dark mode yet. Fixed.

    + Menu Edit | Paste: Now the Paste command is only disabled when the clipboard is 
      empty.
    + SC backupto: Added [flags] as param #10 (same functionality as copyto and moveto).
      Syntax: backupto [location], [source], [on_collision], [preserve_dates], [create_log], _
          [pop_stats], [skip_junctions], [verify], [show_progress], [filter], [flags]      
        flags (bit field):
          0 = [Default]
          1 = FilesOnly. For sources containing wildcards only files are copied.
          2 = SkipPromptToCreate. Don't prompt, but create any non-existing destination 
              folder without asking.
      Example:
        // creates a new target folder every hour; does not prompt for creation
        backupto "T:\bup\<date yyyymmdd_hh>\", "E:\monkey64.twinproj", -1, 10:=2;
    + File | Rename Special | RegExp Rename...: Now the RegExp mode supports the switch " 
      /b" to only affect the base (name without extension, where extension includes the 
      dot). The switch " /b" (note the space) should be appended to the term (but before 
      any RegExp comment).
      The switch can also be applied to SC rename. This script, for example, replaces all 
      dots by spaces in all selected item names, but spares the dot that belongs to the 
      extension:
        rename r, "\. >   /b";  // note the 3 spaces " > " + " " + " /b"

    ! Opening Overlong Items: Did not work reliably even with "Configuration | General | 
      Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Support overlong filenames" enabled. Fixed.
    ! Deleting Overlong Items: Turns out that the shell cannot deal with a 255-character 
      path in the drive root although this length should be totally legal according to the 
      docs. If such a beast somehow ends up in the Recycle Bin, which is possible in 
      Win8.1 but not in Win11, then the attempt to restore it will crash XYplorer and File 
      Explorer without mercy or questions. Actually it seems that the max length the shell 
      can handle for root paths is only X:\+245 characters.
      Fixed. Now XYplorer will prompt you to permanently delete such an item. It won't end 
      up in the recycler.

    * Self-Update: A pretty superfluous prompt "Note that you have to run the installer as 
      Administrator..." has been removed from the self-update process.
    ! Tree and List: Attempting to rename an item to a name longer than 255 characters 
      (without the path) could cause a complete crash. Fixed. Now you will receive the 
      message "Path components cannot be longer than 255 characters."
