v28.30.0307 - 2026-04-23 14:07
    + Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous: Added option "Convert 
      overlong paths to 8.3 format when opening files". Select this option to convert 
      paths longer than 259 characters to the old DOS-compatible 8.3 format when opening 
      files. Some opening applications still require this, even on modern Windows systems.
      FYI, this raises tweak OpenOverlongForceDOS83 to the UI.

v28.30.0305 - 2026-04-22 11:47
    + Opening Overlong Items: Added tweak to always convert to DOS 8.3 before opening 
      items with overlong filenames.
        OpenOverlongForceDOS83=1
      Notes:
      - This will help some older apps to open items with overlong filenames, but newer 
        apps may have problems with it.
      - Some Windows systems don't support DOS 8.3 anymore, so the conversion won't happen.
      - Modern Windows is usually LongPathAware, so DOS 8.3 is no longer necessary.
    * Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show file icon on thumbnail: Refined the 
      changes of v28.30.0201 - 2026-04-13 15:36. Now the icon is drawn on non-thumbnails 
      only if the "Single-click to open an item" or "Point to select" option is selected 
      along with the "Icon only" option.
    * Native Context Menu: Now the "Share" command is only shown if the item for which the 
      context menu was called is a file (not a folder).
    ! 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 #3. The previous fix had the disadvantage of making the Hover Box a disabled 
      window, which screenshot apps could not capture as an entire window.

v28.30.0303 - 2026-04-21 20:29
    * Used-Space Bars: If anything is used, no matter how little, you'll now see the 
      minimum amount of blue (one pixel wide) drawn on the bar. Previously, a very small 
      amount was rounded down to nothing.
    ! Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked: If disabled (i.e. toolbar 
      and address bar side by side in one row), a large address bar font could break the 
      layout. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: The Hover Box of "This PC" now provides a graphical overview of the used 
      and available storage space on each drive.
    ! Toolbar: Layout could break under certain conditions. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | New Bookmark: Adding a drive from the "This PC" list resulted in a 
      dysfunctional bookmark. Fixed.

      cursor was over the current Hover Box and "Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, 
      Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered items" was disabled.
      Fixed again. The previous fix (v28.30.0103 - 2026-04-10 15:42) interfered with 
      gesture apps.
    ! SC backupto, SC sync: The "filter" parameter excluded all subfolders if it contained 
      any file patterns. Fixed. Now, for example, the filter "*.bas|*.ini|*.txt|-appdata\" 
      only allows BAS, INI, and TXT files to pass through, as well as all folders except 
      those called "appdata", just as expected.
    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0037.

v28.30.0206 - 2026-04-17 12:58
    % Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Menus that should have icons now actually have them. In VB, 
      this wasn't always possible (icons were only displayed when the main menu bar was 
      visible, whereas hiding that menu bar was precisely the point of having menu buttons 
      on the toolbar), but with tB, it can be done! So toolbar button (sub)menus such as 
      "New Items", "Favorite Folders", Labels", and the various user commands now always 
      have icons.
    % Startup Time: Due to the above changes, starting with a hidden main menu bar is 
      notably faster now.
