v21.10.0036 - 2020-10-05 12:26
    + Color Filters: Now, like elsewhere in XY, you can force an exact match by 
      wrapping your pattern in quotes. (Hell knows why this has not been added 
      before.) Examples:
        Pattern             Matches
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        File-31.jpg         File-31.jpg, File-31.jpg.webp, MyFile-31.jpg
        "File-31.jpg"       File-31.jpg
        dir:"This Folder"   This Folder
        dir:This Folder     This Folder, This Folder 2, Whatthis Folder
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
    + Color Filters: Added a switch to assign a color filter to a folder and all 
      of its subfolders.
      The switch is "/r" (= recurse subfolders) and it has to be appended to the 
      pattern separated by a single space.
      Examples:
        Pattern        Auto-adjusted to   Match           No Match
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        dir:"code"     *\code\            C:\code\        C:\code\sub\
        dir:"code" /r  *\code\*           C:\code\
                                          C:\code\sub\
      Notes:
      - As you see, the switch can be emulated like this (but only since today's 
        version thanks to some internal changes):
          dir:*\code\*
      - You could also use non-exact patterns (dir:code /r) for broader matching 
        (internally used pattern: *\*code*\*).
    ! List: Shift+Arrow selection did not work correctly right after some items 
      had been deleted because an internal flag was not reset. Fixed.

v21.10.0035 - 2020-10-04 18:34
    + Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous: Added option 
      "Copy paths to the clipboard with a trailing slash". Tick it copy paths 
      from Tree and List to the clipboard with a trailing slash. Untick it copy 
      paths from Tree and List to the clipboard without a trailing slash.
      Factory default it OFF.
    * Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Address Bar 
      paths include trailing backslash: Renamed it to "Address Bar paths include 
      a trailing slash". Just for consistency.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Main Contents: The "Bold" 
      property of a font was not performed in Catalog and Tabs.

v21.10.0034 - 2020-10-04 13:43
    + Status Bar: Added option "Show Exact Bytes in the Status Bar" to the 
      right-click menu of the Status Bar. Here you can toggle whether the exact 
      byte count is shown in parentheses additionally to the rounded byte count. 
      Factory default is ON (which was the hard-coded behavior ever since).
    * Floating Preview: When "Allow Custom Keyboard Shortcuts in Preview" was 
      enabled pressing Alt+F4 in the intention to close the Floating Preview 
      would actually close the app since Alt+F4 is a global Windows standard for 
      closing a window, and also the default key combo for this in XYplorer.
      Now this won't happen anymore. Neither when "Allow Custom Keyboard 
      Shortcuts in Preview" is enabled, nor when it is not enabled and the 
      Floating Preview window is in the background (unfocused) when you still 
      could erroneously try to close it by Alt+F4.
    > FYI, the standard keys to close the Floating Preview are F11 and ESC.
    * File | Exit: I noted that Alt+F4 would exit the app even when you 
      un-assigned Alt+F4 from "Exit" in XYplorer because Alt+F4 is a global 
      Windows standard for closing a window. Not anymore! Now Alt+F4 will not do 
      anything when you actively un-assigned it from "Exit".
    ! Drag And Drop: The dropped items were not selected in the target location 
      ("Select On Paste") when dragging started outside XYplorer. Fixed.

v21.10.0033 - 2020-10-03 16:29
    + Added tweak to set a standard source pane for syncing and pop warning when 
      the currently active pane is different (the active paneh is always used as 
      the source pane for syncing). There are the 3 possible states:
      SyncStandardSourcePane=0     //no warnings
      SyncStandardSourcePane=1     //warn if source pane is pane 2
      SyncStandardSourcePane=2     //warn if source pane is pane 1

      anymore when "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | 
      Foreground tab" was off. Fixed. Of course this setting should only affect 
      the middle button.
    ! 64-bit Preview: Weird errors on exiting 64-bit PDF previews on some 
      systems. Tried a fix.

    ! Network: A bogus "Location currently not available." was possible when 
      browsing to a UNC tree folder. Tried a fix.
    ! Catalog: Script items beginning with script marker "::" did not show icon 
      and caption anymore since toolbar buttons (beginning with ":") are 
      supported. Fixed.
    ! Quick Find Files: When turned on then Branch View would not work anymore 
      as expected (it would actually run a search instead of a Branch View). 
      Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Adaptive name 
      column width: Fixed some further glitches.

v21.10.0029 - 2020-10-01 19:16
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability | Highlight 
      hovered items: Now the highlight adjust to the grid background color of 
      the hovered item if there is a grid.
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Middle-click 
      opens folder in new tab: From now on the tab is opened in the background 
      by default. Before, it was in the foreground. Reason: Background is the 
      expected standard.
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse: Added option 
      "Foreground tab" to allow opening a folder on Middle Click in a new 
      foreground tab.
    + Added tweak to reuse existing tabs when changing locations in whichever 
      way:
        TabReuseTabsRadical=1
      It supersedes the less radical UI setting "Configuration | Tabs and Panes 
      | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing the location" which excludes 
      Tree, List and Breadcrumb.
    ! Tweak PopupMenusAtSelection: 64-bit menu could pop at a wrong place when 
      tweak was set to 0. Fixed.

    % Window drawing is much calmer and smoother now when moving splitters, 
      resizing the window, or changing the layout.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Adaptive name 
      column width: Yesterday's "Autosize name column right margin" had a small 
      bug that surfaced here. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: Since v21.10.0020 it could crash when typing into it while 
      the "Address Bar & Go to" MRU was empty. Fixed.

v21.10.0026 - 2020-09-30 14:52
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles: Added option "Autosize name 
      column right margin (0 = none)".
      I always disliked when on autosize the name column springs to a width far 
      beyond the window edge where I cannot see it anyway, and where I'm forced 
      to horizontally scroll the list to enable me to manually grab the column 
      separator to make it smaller again. What a drag!
      Here is the solution: Now you can define a minimal margin from the right 
      window edge. The name column will not go beyond this margin on autosize. 
      Especially in combination with "Truncate filenames in the middle" and 
      "Adaptive name column width" most of the times this will be just perfect 
      and make your life easier.
      FYI, I went for 160 so I can always see the Ext and the Size column.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles: Reorganized the page a bit.
    % Thumbnails: On large folders (thousands of pictures) there could be a tiny 
      moment where you'd see the generic system icons before the cached 
      thumbnails were loaded. That's better now.
    ! Custom Columns: Trigger by Click only worked when "Configuration | 
      Information | Tags | Show tags in file list" was enabled, which is rubbish 
      of course. Fixed.
    ! Type Stats and Filter: Would treat symlinks as different types. Wrong, and 
      it lead to weirdness in the TSF popup menu. Fixed.
    ! Type Stats and Filter: Folder icon did not honor Custom File Icons. Fixed.
    * XY64: Updated to 1.0.0.20.

      64-bit process.

      "Auto-increment filenames on collision". In v20.50.0109 - 2019-11-02 12:25 
      the overwrite prompt was introduced to message dropping without a chance 
      to turn if off. Now there is a chance.
    + SC open enhanced: Now it defaults to the current item.
      Syntax: open item, [with (|w)]
        item: File or folder to open.
              Defaults to the current list item.
         with: (empty) = use CFA (custom file associations)
              w       = use Windows associated application
      Example:
        open;

      Syntax: shellopen item
           item: File or folder to open
                 Defaults to the current list item.
                 Can be a virtual path like "shell:Libraries".
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Adaptive name column width: 
      Would not kick in when list had exactly the minimum size after showing the 
      navigation panes (F8). Fixed.
