  %%% Toolbar: Now zooming the toolbar works with high-quality stretching even 
      at bizarre zoom factors like 1.1!
      Unfortunately there is still a little drawback: Patched images are lost 
      when zoomed. You only see them in the original size. I'm working on it...

    + SC SaveThumb enhanced: Added argument "transparency" to specify the 
      transparency background and allow preserving transparency (cool!).
      Syntax: savethumb(file="<curitem>, thumbnail_file="*_thumb", _
                        widthbox, heightbox, format="jpg", border_width, flags, _
                        transparency=2)
        transparency:
         -1 = Preserve any transparency
              Note that with this option, border_width as well as the flags 1 
              (Drop Shadow) and 2 (Zoom To Fill) are ignored. So it's just 
              scaling up or down.
          0 = Neutral (here: the current window backcolor, e.g. of the tree, 
                       dark mode aware)
          1 = Grid
          2 = White [Default]
          3 = Black
      Examples (on focused list item):
        savethumb(, "*_t", 256, , "png", 7:=-1); //Preserve transparency
        savethumb(, "*_t", 256, , "png", 0, 0, 1);  //Grid
        savethumb(, "*_t", 256, , "png");           //White
        savethumb(, "*_t", 256, , "png", 0, 0, 3);  //Black
    * Toolbar | Enable Color Filters: New icon. Credits go to myself. :)
    ! Customize Toolbar | Options | Autosize Buttons: A little bug in 
      yesterday's implementation caused a fresh instance to start with small 
      icons regardless of the environment. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Transparency background "Neutral" did not work (wrong color) in 
      light mode. Fixed.

v19.80.0115 - 2019-03-21 19:24
    + Patch Internal Images: Added a tweak that lets you completely customize 
      the toolbar images (and, in future, maybe even other internal images) in 
      an elegant, portable, and shareable way.
      You simply state a path where you have your beautiful image files. The 
      path can be specified relative to <xydata> (XYplorer's app data path). For 
      example:
        PatchImagesPath=Patch
      Now you need one image file for each image you want to patch (i.e., 
      replace the original image with). Each image file must have the image key 
      in the beginning of the filename, optionally separated by "-" from any 
      other parts of the name. For example, these files would both work for the 
      Branch View button (whose key happens to be "flatview"):
        flatview-Cherries-24 x 24.png
        flatview.png
      Now on startup XYplorer will scan this folder and patch all images for 
      which it finds a valid file with a valid image key. The image files are 
      processed in alphabetical ascending order so if you have more than one 
      file pointing to the same image then the last one wins.
      By default both size versions of the image are patched, small (16 x 16) 
      and large (24 x 24). But here's a way to specify which size you want to 
      patch: Append "1" for small, "2" for large to the key, separated by a 
      comma. For example:
        flatview,1-Cherries-16 x 16.png
        flatview,2-Cherries-24 x 24.png
    > Tip: To determine the image key of a button hold CTRL when you click 
      "Tools | Customize Toolbar...". The dialog's button lists now feature the 
      image keys in brackets.
    + Customize Toolbar | Options: Added option "Autosize Buttons". Tick it to 
      have the button size auto-adjust to the DPI of the screen.

    + Hover Box: Now you can cycle the transparency background of the Image 
      Preview (which also affects the Hover Box): Simply press key "T" while the 
      Hover Box is shown. Internal values:
        0 = Neutral
        1 = Grid
        2 = White
        3 = Black
    + Hover Box: Now it supports embedded thumbnails from PSD files.
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: PatchImage
      Action: Replaces an internal image, e.g. of a toolbar button, with one 
              from a file.
      Syntax: patchimage(key, [file], [size=3], [flags=1])
        key:    Image key.
        file:   Image file.
                Defaults to the selected/focused file.
        size:   1 = Small image (16 x 16)
                2 = Large image (24 x 24)
                3 = Both [Default]
        flags:    (bit field)
          1 = Refresh the Toolbar when the replacement is done. [Default]
      Remarks:
        - The file can be larger than the image in which case it is
          automatically shrunk.
        - These changes are not permanent but last as long as the session.
      Examples:
        patchimage "flatview"; //replace small and large "flatview" image with the selected image file
        patchimage "flatview", "C:\Cactus.png" , 1;  //replace small "flatview" image with "Cactus.png"
        patchimage "flatview", "C:\Cactus.png" , 2;  //replace large "flatview" image with "Cactus.png"

v19.80.0112 - 2019-03-20 20:26
    + Configuration | Preview | Preview | Image preview: Totally rewrote the 
      display of transparent areas in images. Before, you just could choose 
      between grid or no grid. Now you have more options, including the nice 
      "neutral" option which melts the transparent areas with the surrounding 
      background.
      So, there is a new dropdown called "Transparency background" with 4 
      options:
        - Neutral
        - Grid
        - White
        - Black
    - Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails: Removed option "Show transparency 
      grid".
    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails: Added a new dropdown called 
      "Transparency background" with 4 options:
        - Neutral
        - Grid
        - White
        - Black
    * Floating Preview: Changed "Transparency Grid" to "Cycle Transparency 
      Background". Cycles through the 4 options Neutral, Grid, White, Black.
    > Floating Preview: Just note how the "neutral" option nicely adjusts the 
      display when you cycle the background color (keyboard shortcut B).
    + Hover Box: Now it supports the user-selected transparency background for 
      GIF and PNG. Before the transparent background was always white.
      The relevant setting is Configuration | Preview | Preview | Floating 
      preview | Transparency background.

      emails dropped from Thunderbird are processed along the user settings in 
      this section.
    ! Dropping Messages: The extra temp folder used for this job was not removed

v19.80.0102 - 2019-03-14 18:21
    + Edit | Paste Special: Added command "Paste Text As Item(s)" by which you 
      can paste a copy of the item(s) referred to by textual clipboard contents.
      - More than one item is possible, separated by | or by line feed (CRLF). 
        Both separators can be mixed. Empty lines/elements are auto-removed.
      - XYplorer native and environment variables are allowed.
      - Relative paths are resolved relative to the current path.
      - Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed on each item.
      - Folders are copied with their contents (of course).
      - URLs are supported as well. But only one at a time.
      Examples:
        Text on clipboard       Action
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer Website.url
                                Pastes a copy of this file into the current location.
                                
        <xy>                    Pastes a copy of the current XYplorer.exe into the current location.
        
        <xydata>\ks.dat         Pastes a copy of these 2 files into the current location.
        <xydata>\pv.dat
        
        <xydata>\ks.dat|<xydata>\pv.dat   Pastes a copy of these 3 files into the current location.
        <xydata>\servers.dat
        
        https://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_full.zip
                                Pastes (downloads) a copy of this file into the current location.
                                
      Usage Examples:
      - A colleague mails you a path to some file on the intranet. You copy the 
        path from the email to the clipboard, then use "Paste Text As Item(s)" 
        to create a copy of that file in your current folder.
      - A colleague mails you the URL to some package in the web. You copy the 
        URL from the email to the clipboard, then use "Paste Text As Item(s)" 
        to download that file into your current folder.
      - Equally you can fetch download links on the web via clipboard and grab 
        those items by "Paste Text As Item(s)" without going via the Browser 
        Download to the Download folder.
      Tips:
      - Note that multiple source items can even be in totally different 
        locations. You are prompted whether to Rich Copy or not in that case.
      - Have the Edit Clipboard button in the Toolbar. Hover it to see what's in 
        the clipboard, right-click it to quickly access all the interesting 
        commands.
        
    * Toolbar | Recent File Operations: Replaced the old icon by a new one: A 
      green right arrow.
    * Installer: From now on when updating an installation (portable or not) the 
      file Startup.ini is not overwritten nor created if missing. That way a 
      portable installation (by way of a missing Startup.ini) remains portable.
    ! Miscellaneous | Focus Functions | Next/Previous Type Ahead Match: always 
      used "Match anywhere" regardless of the setting under "Configuration | 
      Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead Find | Enable 
      type ahead find". Fixed.
    ! Dark Mode: When started in light mode the scrollbars were not darkened 
      after switching to dark mode. Fixed.

      FYI, any missing subfolders in the path are silently created.
    * Tags | Load Tags Database...: Now when you enter a non-existing database 
      it is created completely virgin. Before, it had inherited the current
