    % Color Filters in Dark Mode: The readability of some text colors on the 
      dark background was not satisfying. Implemented a new formula to ensure a 
      minimum contrast based on "perceived brightness" with clearly better 
      results.

v20.10.0006 - 2019-06-08 16:19
    + Toolbar | Edit Clipboard: This button now gives a real time feedback of 
      the state of the clipboard. It knows 5 states:
      - Empty
      - Text
      - Image
      - Files (cut)
      - Files (copied)
      Not totally happy with the graphics yet, but that will come easy when 
      inspiration strikes. The functionality was the tricky part, and that seems 
      to work alright so far.
    + Image Preview: Added JFIF to the default image extensions.
    * Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Now the "Customize Menu..." menu pops on 
      plain right-click, no CTRL necessary anymore.
      And the "Customize Menu" dialog is a little bigger now.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.113.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.113.lng is uploaded.

    + Breadcrumb Bars | Hamburger: Now the menu allows for nesting. Syntax like 
      SC popupnested(). For example:
      
        New
          :newfolder
          :newfile
        Dual Pane
          :dpmoveto
          :dpcopyto
        -
        :copypath

    ! List: Empty space context menu partly broken since v20.10.0004. Fixed.

v20.10.0004 - 2019-06-05 15:17
    + Menu Edit: Added command "Append" (Ctrl+Alt+D). Appends the selected items 
      to the clipboard.
      - Keeps the effect (copy or cut) of the items already in the clipboard.
      - If no items are in the clipboard the effect defaults to "copy".
    + Toolbar: Added button "Append". Same function as Edit | Append.
    + SC copy enhanced: Now you can append items to the current items in clipboard.
      Syntax: copy itemlist, [effect=copy|cut], [append]
        itemlist: |-separated or CRLF-separated list of items (files or folders);
                  items support environment variables, XY native 
                  variables, relative (to app path) and portable paths.
        effect:   copy [Default] = mark as copied
                  cut = mark as cut
        append:   1 = append itemlist to the items already in clipboard.
      Remarks:
        - On append = 1 the effect (copy or cut) of the items already in the 
          clipboard is kept if you leave the "effect" argument empty.
        - No smartness whatsoever is applied when appending. So you can create 
          crazy clipboard contents with items being present multiple times, 
          containing each other, or from totally different locations. You are in 
          control.
      Examples:
        copy <curitem>, , 1;  //append current item to clipboard, keep effect
        copy <curitem>, "copy" , 1; //append current item to clipboard, set effect to "copy"
        copy <curitem>, "cut" , 1;  //append current item to clipboard, set effect to "cut"

    * Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show Hover Box: From now on 
      this setting is ON by factory default. It's just too good to be missed.
    > SC SaveThumb: Just missing example for what else you can do with the new 
      functionality:
        // save a copy of the image in original size with transparent areas in magenta (FF00FF)
        savethumb(, "*_<width>x<height>", "100%" , , "png", , 0, 4 , "FF00FF");
    ! Trial Version: Since v19.90.0112 the nag screen should only be shown on 
      first run, but this did not really work yet. Fixed.

v20.00.0016 - 2019-06-03 11:37
    + SC SaveThumb enhanced:
      - New value 4 to argument "transparency" to allow using the canvas color 
        as background color for transparent areas.
      - New value 4 to argument "flags" to allow centering the original image in 
        a canvas defined by "widthbox" and "heightbox".
      - Added argument "color_canvas" to specify the background color of the 
        canvas (flags 4).
      Syntax: savethumb(file="<curitem>", thumbnail_file="*_thumb", _
                        widthbox, heightbox, format="jpg", border_width, flags, _
                        transparency=2, color_canvas)
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Drop Shadow on white border (border_width has to be set).
          2 = Zoom To Fill: Zoom the thumb to fill the whole box. If heightbox 
              is missing it defaults to widthbox, and vice versa (= square box).
          4 = Arguments "widthbox" and "heightbox" are taken as size of a  
              canvas in which the input image ("file") is centered. If necessary 
              the image is shrunk to fit the canvas. The resulting image will 
              have these dimensions no matter the size of the input image.
        transparency:
         -1 = Preserve any transparency
          0 = Neutral
          1 = Grid
          2 = White [Default]
          3 = Black
          4 = Use the value stated in color_canvas
        color_canvas: Canvas background color in hex RRGGBB.
              If missing it defaults to the current window backcolor (dark mode aware).
      Examples:
        // save selected image centered in white 1080x1080 PNG, transparent areas also white
        savethumb(, "*_<widthbox>x<heightbox>", 1080, 1080, "png", , 4, 4, "FFFFFF");
        // save selected image centered in 1080x566 PNG, background and transparent areas
        // in window backcolor (dark mode aware)
        savethumb(, "*_<widthbox>x<heightbox>", 1080, 566 , "png", , 4, 0);
    * Updated the help file.

v20.00.0013 - 2019-06-01 15:24
    + Configuration | General | Sort and Rename: Added dropdown "Sort method" 
      where you can choose one of three sort methods:
      
      Binary:   Results in a sort order based on comparisons of the internal 
                binary representations of the characters as determined by the 
                active code page.
                A!=a, A<B<a<b, 1<12<2
      Textual:  Results in a sort order based on case-insensitive comparisons of 
                the characters as determined by the system's locale.
                A==a, 1<12<2
      Natural:  Results in a textual sort order, except that multi-digit numbers 
                are ordered according to their numeric value.
                A==a, 1<2<12

      Examples:    Binary        Textual        Natural

        cut, blue for copied).

v20.00.0009 - 2019-05-29 15:53
  +++ Clipboard Markers: Totally revolutionized how items are marked that are 
      currently in the clipboard.
      - Before, like in Windows Explorer ever since and still today, cut items 
        (Ctrl+X) were marked by a dimmed icon. However, the same effect is used 
        to mark HIDDEN items. So we have a semiotic clash (Is it cut? Is it 
        hidden? Is it cut and hidden?). Not nice.
      - In Windows Explorer (and until recently in XYplorer) these marks are 
        not stable but silently disappear on location change or restart. They 
        also do not auto-react on changes in the clipboard triggered by other 
        processes.
      - Copied items (Ctrl+C) were not marked at all!
      XYplorer now gets rid of all those issues:
      - Cut and copied items are marked in folder tree and file list.
      - The markers are stable, and they are always in sync with the clipboard.
      - They don't use an effect that's already used for something else but 
        employ a totally new way of marking: The items are shifted some pixels 
        to the right and a vertical fat colored line on the left marks their 
        state in the clipboard:
        - Blue = Copied
        - Orange = Cut
      These are the factory default colors. The actual colors are taken from the
      INI key DragStatusClasses (sections Copy and Move), so they are tweakable.
      Note: Tiles and Thumbnails views don't look good yet. Work in progress...
    % Undo, Redo, Action Log: New versions of the icons for various file 
      operations: New, Copy, Move, Rename, Delete.
    * Undo, Redo, Action Log: The "Move" icon is now orange. Before it had the 
      same green as the "Rename" icon.
    * Undo, Redo, Action Log: The "New" icon is now purple. Before it had the 
      same blue as the "Copy" icon.
    ! Clipboard Markers: Did not update on rename. Fixed.

v20.00.0008 - 2019-05-28 13:27
    % List: Improved the marking of cut items (Ctrl+X) by a dimmed icon. Now the 
      app is constantly watching the clipboard for any changes, so the marks 
      should always be in sync with the state of the clipboard even if it is 
      changed by other processes.
      Note: This works in Vista and later only.
    + Tree: Now the marking of cut items (Ctrl+X) by a dimmed icon works in the 
      Tree just as nicely as in the List. In particular the Tree has learned to 
      show more than one folder dimmed at the same time.
