      status messages like "creating thumb...", which were hardly readable 
      because of all the rapid smart sizing.

    + Toolbar | Folder View Settings: Now the button is shown by factory default.
    + Find List Item: Since v18.90.0119 - 2018-05-02 16:47 you got a command 
      "Find..." in the context menu of all smaller lists throughout the 
      interface. Now there's an additional command "Find Next (Shift+F4)", 
      mostly to remind you that this function and keyboard shortcut exist.
    ! Quick Search (and similar dialogs): The dropdown lists had the "Find..." 
      command in the context menu of the list items. Did not work well because 
      it fell into the dark hole of recursion (dialog called itself). Removed.

        p = Number plate style (frame with filled background)
            Has to be combined with switch f (frame) or b (bold frame).
    + Portable Devices: Added some more error messages to failed file operations 
      on Portable Devices. Just in case. (This time it even works.)
    ! Toolbar | Append: Would append items that were already in the clipboard, 
      thus creating duplicates in the clipboard. Fixed.

    * Preview Tab | MP3 Info: The "Genre" is now shown in a label, not in a 
      dropdown box anymore. Click the label to open the (totally crazy but 
      official) list of available music genres.
    * Preview Tab | CD Info: The current track (eg "<08>") is now shown in a 
      label, not in a dropdown box anymore. Click the label to open the list of 
      available tracks and select which one to play.
    * Tree: Revised the change in v21.60.0117. The Space key now works again as 
      a Type Ahead Find key, but only in combination with other keys (use fast 
      typing to form a sequence).
    * List: Just like in Tree now, the Space key works as a Type Ahead Find key 
      only in combination with other keys. That way it's free to trigger its 
      more expected jobs, selecting files and stop/pause media preview.
    ! Seamless Wave Looping: Fixed various interface glitches.

    - Preview Tab: Removed that old "Loading..." graphic (which was never 
      translated because it was a picture).
    ! Find Files: Bogus error message "Access Denied" possible since 20210325. 
      Fixed.

    + Configuration | Preview | Preview | Audio preview: Added "Seamless wave 
      looping". Tick to play WAV files in a special way that allows perfect 
      seamless looping.
      - For technical reasons this mode has no progress feedback and no pausing 
        (only full stop / back to zero), just perfect audio.
      - WAV files will be looped regardless of the setting of "Configuration | 
        Preview | Preview | Audio/Video preview". It does not have to be "Play 
        Again".
      - This setting also affects "Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | 
        Mouse Down on Thumbnails and Icons | Audio preview".
        Analog to above, WAV files will be looped regardless of the setting of 
        "Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails 
        and Icons | Loop".
    - Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails 
      and Icons | Seamless wave looping: Moved to "Configuration | Preview | 
      Preview | Audio preview". See above.
    + Preview Tab: The orange button dropdown menu now also has the "Seamless 
      wave looping" toggle.
    ! Seamless Wave Looping: Did not obey to Configuration | Preview | Preview | 
      Audio/Video preview | Autoplay. Fixed.
    * Tree: The Space key worked as a Type Ahead Find key and jumped to the next 
      folder downwards with a space in the name. IMO that's not anything 
      expected and can be quite surprising. Removed that. The Space key is now 
      dead in the tree.

      no pausing, but perfect audio.
      Tweak MDBUaudioLoopTightWave (v21.60.0113) is hereby raised to GUI.
    % Configuration | Preview | Preview | Audio/Video preview: Further and 
      greatly improved seamless looping of all audio files (not only WAV) on 
      "Play Again".
      Note: This is about standard looping. Has nothing to do with "Seamless 
      Wave Looping" and is not as perfect, but pretty close now.

    % Audio Props: Ultra-exact audio length determination for WAV files. You 
      won't see it though because it's later rounded to milliseconds. :)
    ! List: Right-aligned columns came out4 pixels wider than necessary each on 
      autosize columns when their header was wider than their contents. Fixed.

v21.60.0113 - 2021-03-28 16:16
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters: Added optional 
      switches. Append the switches to the end of the pattern (but before any       
      comment), separated by |. Switches can control the look of the color 
      coding on a per-filter level. Each switch is represented by a single 
      letter (case-sensitive). The sequence of the letters has no significance.
      Switches:
        s = Draw background colors in distinctive shapes
        w = Draw background colors as wide as the column
        f = Draw background colors as frame (unfilled rectangle)
      Notes:
        - With "f" it is recommendable to leave the text color undefined (click 
          the "Clear" button) when you like to switch between dark and light mode.
        - I might not add this to the official documention, or even remove it 
          again. It's currently in experimental stage.
      Example for Configuration | Colors and Styles | Color Filters:
        B:prop:#empty:2|swf     //shape, wide, frame
      Example for Tools | List Management | Color Filters...:
        len:>=260|f //overlong items>,DF2076    //frame, text color undefined
    + Quick Audio Preview (Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse 
      Down on Thumbnails and Icons | Audio preview): Now tight seamless looping 
      of wave files (*.WAV), aka Tight Wave Loops, is supported.
      How to enable the feature:
      - ATM only implemented as a tweak (soon also in GUI):
        MDBUaudioLoopTightWave=1
      Looks:
      - The Status Bar tells you the exact length of the looping file (down to 
        the milliseconds) and the filename.
        Abuse of the "sync" icon (bight find a better one later).
        No live progress, no pausing.
      Functionality:
      - On left mouse down: Loop goes on until mouse button is released.
      - On right mouse down: Loop goes on until stopped.
        Necessary preconditions: Tick these options:
        - Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails and Icons | On right mouse down
        - Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails and Icons | Stay up
        How to stop an ongoing Tight Wave Loop:
        - Click icon of the playing file
        - Press ESC
        - Start another Quick Audio Preview
    ! Find Files and Quick Search: Since 20210312 a RegExp pattern matching full 
      path (eg: >\)\\AltRip$ /P) did not match as it should anymore. Fixed.
