    % Toolbar: The distance to the top margin now takes "Configuration | Colors and Styles 
      | Styles | Overall spacing" into account.
    % Address Bar: The distance between the icon and the left margin, as well as the 
      distance between the icon and the text, now takes "Configuration | Colors and Styles 
      | Styles | Overall spacing" into account.
      This change also affects other dropdowns with icons and the Live Filter Box.
    % Tab Bar: The distance to the element above it now takes "Configuration | Colors and 
      Styles | Styles | Overall spacing" into account.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Point to select | To the 
      icon only: Did not work as expected in Thumbnails and Tiles views when icons are 
      shown on the thumbnails (Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on 
      thumbnail). Fixed.

v27.20.1205 - 2026-04-14 12:20
    % Toolbar: The color of the button borders has been toned down to align with the 
      latest UI trends.
    > Note that the contrast of these lines can be tweaked at key SeparatorContrast.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail: The icon is now 
      always displayed, regardless of whether the item has a thumbnail or just an enlarged 
      system icon, and regardless of whether it is a folder or not.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Single-click to open an 
      item | On the icon only: Did not work as expected in Thumbnails and Tiles views when 
      icons are shown on the thumbnails (Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file 
      icon on thumbnail). Fixed.
    > Note that if "Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Down on Thumbnails 
      and Icons | Enable blow ups on file icons as well" is enabled then only a quick 
      click on the icon will single-click-open the file, a slow click will trigger the 
      blow up.

    + Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: When this option is not 
      checked, Toolbar and Live Filter Box can appear in the same row, even when the 
      Address Bar is hidden. Previously, when the Address Bar was hidden, the Live Filter 
      Box was forced to sit in the Status Bar.
    ! Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: When this option is not 
      checked, and Toolbar, Address Bar and Live Filter Box were all in one row, 
      customizing the width of Address Bar or Live Filter Box by Shift+Alt+Wheel didn't 
      work right and could result in unused empty areas. Fixed.

    % Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: Better error message if anything goes wrong.
    ! Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: The function has stopped working for some 
      users, likely due to the recent host change of xyplorer.com. Changed some flags in 
      an attempt to fix it.
    ! Hover Box | Fixed-size image area: Didn't work for video thumbs. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: Added setting "Fixed-size image area" (keyboard shortcut while box is 
      showing: A). Enable it to make the Hover Box a square area where the preview will be 
      fit and centered into (or stretched into if "Zoom to fit" is enabled). This makes 
      the size and position of the Hover Box more predictable and totally independent of 
      the size of the original.
      Note that the position of the Hover Box will still have to be somewhat flexible to 
      ensure visibility of the entire box when it's near the margin of the screen.
      The setting only applies to image previews.
    + Hover Box: Now the F1 dialog of the Hover Box ("Keyboard Shortcuts for the Hover 
      Box") shows the current state of each setting appended in square brackets.
    % Hover Box: Now, when the "Keyboard Shortcuts for the Hover Box" dialog box is 
      closed, the Hover Box for the current mouse position is called again right away.
    ! Hover Box: Jumping to the next Hover Box by arrow keys did not work when the mouse 
      cursor was over the current Hover Box and "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, 
      Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered items" was disabled. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: You can now use the arrow keys to move to the next hover box even when 
      the focus is in an input field, such as the Address Bar or the Live Filter Box.
    + SC readurl / readurlutf8 enhanced: Added flag to skip the existence check before the 
      URL is loaded.
      Syntax: readurl(url, [nocookies], [StripHTML], [flags], [codepage])
        flags (bit field)
          16:  Skip the existence check before the URL is loaded.
               This will save some nanoseconds and energy if you're sure the URL exists.
      Example:
        text readurl("https://www.xyplorer.com/version.php?bit=64", 3:=16);
    ! Scripting | Steps Dialog: Since it's resizable (v26.70.0307 - 2024-12-16 15:06) the 
      label between the upper and the lower list was invisible most of the time because 
      its position was still static. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Folder content lists used the vertical spacing needed for the font size 
      set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels, but it 
      actually uses the font and font size set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Fonts | Main Contents. Fixed.
    ! Address Bar: The dropdown list used the vertical spacing needed for the font size 
      set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Buttons and Labels, but it 
      actually uses the font and font size set in Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Fonts | Main Contents. Fixed.

    * Toolbar | Bookmark Buttons: Since v27.20.1001, it has been possible to display 
      bookmark buttons without text. However, you had to actively rename a bookmark button 
      if you wanted to see the text, which wasn't ideal. Now, a new logic has been 
      implemented. By default, the buttons display text (which is automatically generated 
      from the location) and you can actively hide this text by selecting the new "Hide 
      name in toolbar" checkbox in the "Rename Bookmark" dialog.
    ! Drag and Drop: The VS Code fix from v27.20.1108 - 2026-03-16 20:20 was a mistake. Undone.

    % Autosize Columns: Now it works regardless of trailing separators.
    % Icons: Improved the drawing of icons with share overlays at high DPI (>= 150%).      
    ! Icons: Since v27.20.1109, some icons were drawn incorrectly at high DPI (> 150%). 
      Fixed.
    ! SC editconf: Lines longer than 3275 characters were shown empty because of an 
      internal limit of the text printing API function. This could easily happen with keys 
      MiniTreePaths and MiniTreePathsPrev. Fixed. Now the first 3275 characters of those 
      lines are shown.

    + Autosize Columns: Now it also works for icon columns.
    * Shell Context Menu: The Share command was removed because it was not functioning 
      properly due to the way Windows constructed the menu, which essentially hardcodes 
      this command to File Explorer (from Windows 10 onwards).
    % Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: A little glow-up of the blue direction arrow.

    * Tweak ListProcessFocusedItemFirst is now set to 1 by factory default. Since many 
      Windows versions ago, File Explorer has always acted like this.  
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Preview: The preview of CBR/CBZ files (Comic Book Reader) and probably some other 
      file types was cropped. Fixed.
    ! Tools | List Management | Address Bar & Go to...: The Address Bar supports quoted 
      locations (paths wrapped in double quotes), but List Management failed to show an 
      icon for them. Fixed.
    ! List: At 150% screen scaling in Tile View on This PC, icons with a shared overlay 
      were rendered far too large. Fixed.
    * Hover Box over Text Files: The size of texts that can be shown completely in the 
      Hover Box has doubled from 64 KB to 128 KB (with scrolling, of course). In larger 
      files, only the first and last 64 KB will be visible.
    ! Hover Box over Text Files: Word-wrapping would go wrong when the data contained 
      non-paired double-quotes. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box over Text Files: It was not possible to wheel through the final block 
      (below "... [continues]") of a file that was too large to fit in the Hover Box. 
      Fixed.

    + Added tweak to process the focused list item first whenever multiple selections are 
      processed, e.g. in Custom File Associations.
        ListProcessFocusedItemFirst=1
      If the tweak is set to 1 and the focused list item is the last of all selected items 
      then they are all processed in reverse order. Compare these 2 cases when 
      ListProcessFocusedItemFirst is set to 1:
        selections   processed order            selections   processed order
        45           47                         45           49
        46           48                         46           48
        47-Focus     49                         47           47

        49           46                         49-Focus     45
      FYI, this tweak has existed internally for 10 years, but it was either never exposed 
      to the INI file or the key was inadvertently removed at some point. Bit of a mystery.
    ! Drag and Drop: Did not work from VS Code (and probably other similar apps). Fixed.

    ! Variable <pad ...>: Did not work correctly when interpolated along with script

        $string = 'abc';
