v27.20.1004 - 2026-02-26 17:00
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Flexible tab width: If "Flexible tab width" 
      was off and the difference between minimum and maximum tab width was smaller than 38 
      pixels (at 100% screen scaling), then "Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Show 
      X close buttons on tabs" did not work for the right-most tab when set to "All tabs" 
      or "All tabs on hover". Fixed.
    ! List: Fixed another bug related to selecting multiple items with the keyboard.
    ! Scripting | Associative Arrays: An array created by the array() function could not 
      later be used as an associative array. Fixed. Now this works as expected:
        $a = array(); 
            $a[0] = "dog";
            $a[1] = "mouse";
            $a["pussy"] = "cat";
            $a[2] = "horse";
            echo "It is a $a[0]! (dog)";
            echo "It is a $a[1]! (mouse)";
            echo "It is a $a[2]! (horse)";
            echo "It is a $a[3]! ($a[3])";
            echo "It is a $a['pussy']! (cat)";
            echo "It is a $a['fuzzy']! ($a['fuzzy'])";
    ! Bytes Formatting: Fixed a slight rounding error with exabytes (EB).

v27.20.1002 - 2026-02-20 18:12
    + OneDrive: Added experimental tweak to support OneDrive For Business. 
      Conditions to show the OneDrive For Business folder.
      - Windows 10 or later.
      - Enable "OneDrive folder" in Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in 
        Tree and List | Select Items...
      - Set new tweak (see https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak):
        OneDriveAccount=1
      If no OneDrive For Business account is found, the personal OneDrive folder is shown 
      instead if there is one.
    % Hover Box: The maximum size (bounding box) was limited to 80% of the screen height 
      (work area = screen height excluding task bar). Now it's 100%.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show thumbnails in tiles views: In Small 
      Tiles view, custom folder icons (e.g., from desktop.ini) had rugged edges when the 
      tiles weren't a standard size. Fixed. For example, the icons in 64x64 tiles are now 
      drawn at 48x48.
      Note that you can tweak back the old behavior: ThumbsIconsSameSize=1. The bug here 
      actually was that the tweak was ignored (seen as always ON) in Small Tiles view.

v27.20.1001 - 2026-02-19 12:56
    + Toolbar | Bookmark Buttons: You can now display them without text. In "Rename 
      Bookmark..." (from the button's context menu) simply clear the edit box to display 
      only the icon. Previously, if no caption was specified, one was automatically 
      generated from the location.
    + Using arrow keys to jump to the next item while the hover box is showing now even 
      works if the current hover box is right under the cursor.
    ! Menu Go | Up: When parent folders were hidden in the Maxi Tree (e.g., due to "View > 
      Show Items > Show Hidden Files and Folders" being off), going up would lead to the 
      first visible parent being listed unnecessarily and very briefly (just visible as a 
      flash) before listing the actual destination. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: The status section for text files now shows the line endings if they are 
      not DOS (CRLF), which is the normal case on Windows.
        DOS       = CRLF      (normal case, not shown)
        Unix      = LF
        Mac       = CR
        Unix/DOS  = LF and CRLF
        Mac/DOS   = CR and CRLF
        Unix/Mac  = LF and CR
    ! Rename: Attempting to rename a hard drive without administrator privileges could 
      result in a lockup situation where the application had to be terminated in Task 
      Manager. Fixed. Now, the error message appears in the status bar instead of a 
      message box.
    > Tip: You need admin rights to rename a hard drive.

v27.20.0905 - 2026-01-27 15:43
    + SC inputselect: Now it supports icons referenced by index embedded in resources, 
      e.g. "%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /10".
      For example:
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
            $items = <<<>>>

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters | 
      Enable extended pattern matching: If enabled then a pattern can be fully enclosed in 
      parentheses without changing its function. For example:
        *.ico;*.jpg         match all ICO and JPG files
        (*.ico;*.jpg)       match all ICO and JPG files
        !(*.ico;*.jpg)      match files that are not ICO or JPG
    * Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | 
      Enable extended pattern matching: Same as above.
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Scripting: Variables in the arguments of the special function array() were not 
      resolved immediately. Fixed.

    + Tweak TreeNoHoriScroll: Extended to a small bit field:
        TreeNoHoriScroll=1    = suppress the horizontal scrollbar in the tree
        TreeNoHoriScroll=2    = suppress horizontal auto-scrolling on drag-over
    * Tree: Now by factory default (fresh instance), horizontal auto-scrolling on 
      drag-over doesn't happen anymore. You can tweak it back though:
        TreeNoHoriScroll=0
    - Tweak ScriptUnindent: Removed.
    * Paper Folders: If "Explicit Save Only" is off, then renaming a file in a PF now 
      immediately updates the PF in memory and on disk so it stays in sync with reality.
    ! Searching, Filtering, Coloring by Date Ranges:
      - Help File: Several examples in the help file used the German date format but 
        failed to mention that it would not work in countries with different formats. Fixed.
      - Open ranges did not work, for example:
          dateC: 2025-09-24 -         match all dates from 2025-09-24 00:00:00
          dateC: - 2025-09-23         match all dates till 2025-09-23 23:59:59
        Fixed.
    ! List: In larger lists with slow custom columns, clicking on an item while the list 
      is refreshing may cause the wrong item to be selected and added to the current 
      selection. Fixed. Now, clicks and keystrokes in the list are completely blocked 
      while it refreshes.
