    + Document Preview: The PreviewDocsFocusStealFixExt tweak now also works for the 
      Floating Preview. Example (and factory default):
        PreviewDocsFocusStealFixExt=msg
    ! List: Since v24.80.0022 - 2023-08-22 19:56, Shift+Right-click on a selected item 
      incorrectly removed any other selections. Fixed.
    ! Image Properties | Date Taken: The recent fix broke the app in some contexts. Fixed 
      again. Also made it faster.

    ! Special Folders: There could be another problem mapping real paths to their special 
      path counterparts if the special path root pointed to a drive root that had a volume 
      label assigned. Fixed.
    ! Image Properties | Date Taken: The Special Property column and <prop 
      #image.datetaken> did not show the date for some images, even if it was available in 
      other ways. Fixed.

    + SC exist: Now it shows the friendly name and path of the associated application (aka 
      "Opens with").
    % File | File Special | Set Modified / Created Date to Exif: Improved error handling 
      and status bar feedback.
    ! SC aid: Was not available anymore. Fixed.
    ! Special Folders: There could be a problem mapping real paths to their special path 
      counterparts if the special path root pointed to a drive root. This was ultimately 
      caused by Windows' bizarre habit of returning drive roots with a trailing backslash 
      and all other paths without. Fixed by working around this Windows quirk.

    ! Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show real System32 
      directory: When checked, the specific shell icons of EXE files in the 
      C:\Windows\System32 branch were not displayed correctly in the file list and some 
      other contexts (only the generic EXE icon was displayed). Fixed.
    ! List: A rare "Subscript out of range" error was possible in Details view. Fixed.

    - Load Time Log: Removed "Tree Check Subfolders Exist Late: " logging. Was only for

    * Info Panel | Preview Tab and Raw View Tab: The orange button menu now pops up on 
      mouse up instead of mouse down. This prevents accidental clicks on menu items when 
      the menu happens to appear directly under the mouse pointer.
      If the menu is open, a second click on the orange button will close it.
      Btw, the menu now also pops up on right-click (no difference to left-click).
    * Info Panel | Find Files | Date: Same change as above for the orange button.
    % Glider: Now, if possible, the glider is placed in such a way that it does not have 
      any overlap with the node label.
      Also the hover zone will never overlap the rect drawn around the node when the 
      glider is visible.

v24.90.0126 - 2023-09-15 13:33
    + SC echo: Now the dialog features a Copy button, and Ctrl+C will copy the message.
    + Text-related modal dialogs: If there is a Copy button, Ctrl+C can trigger it if the 
      focus is not on the text box itself.
    * Event Sounds | Clipboard Update: Now this sound is also played when a clipboard 
      update is triggered from a text-related modal dialog, e.g. a message box or a text 
      box.
    * Outlook Drop: Now the list is updated natively (and immediately) independent of the 
      Windows change notification system. And the dropped items are automatically selected 
      in the target path (like select on paste).
    ! When a search was performed of another location, while the active tab was a Virtual 
      Folder (or Paper Folder), the info bar still reported that you were located in a 
      VFO. Subsequently, other functions that were performed while in this state were 
      affected. For example, if you tried to rename XY, it thought that all the files 
      didn't exist, and it showed relative paths in the preview window, but they were 
      relative to the previous VFO root. Fixed.

    % Glider: Now it's not ghost-triggered anymore by passive mouse movements, e.g. on 
      startup or after closing a modal dialog while the mouse is over the tree. To trigger 
      the Glider you must actively move the mouse over the tree and stop for a while 
      (initial delay) in the hover zone.
    ! Tree Section Colors: Colors got confused when there was only one drive. Fixed.
    ! Info Panel | Raw View | Orange Button Menu | Resolve Links: Fixed another glitch 
      when changing between LNK files.

    ! Shortcuts (LNK files): The icon for LNKs to executables in C:\Program Files was just 
      the generic icon for executables due to bitness-related smartness when letting 
      Windows resolve shell links. Fixed. The correct icons are now displayed.
    ! Info Panel | Raw View | Orange Button Menu | Resolve Links: Unchecking the toggle 
      when a link target was displayed in Extract Text mode did not update the raw view to 
      show the LNK file itself. Fixed.

v24.90.0123 - 2023-09-13 19:00
    % Opening shortcuts (LNK files): Due to some fatal bitness-related smartness, the 
      shell would open LNKs to "C:\Program Files" in "C:\Program Files (x86)" when opened 
      from a 32-bit process. Not anymore! Dirty but successful, XYplorer now hacks around 
      this.    
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: ShellProps
      Action: Displays the shell properties dialog for a given item.
      Syntax: shellprops [item]
        item: The item for which shell properties are to be displayed.
              Or :addressbar, :tree, :list, or :catalog for the focused item in these controls.
              Defaults to the focused item in the focused control (Address Bar, Tree, List, or Catalog).
      Examples:
        shellprops;           //for the focused item in the focused control
        shellprops ":list";   //for the focused list item (even if the list itself has no focus)
        shellprops ":tree";   //for the focused tree item (even if the tree itself has no focus)
        shellprops "C:\";     //for C:\
        shellprops <curitem>; //for the currently focused and selected list item

    * Quick Search: Now, if there is a selector, the pattern after the selector will be 
      preselected in the search term retained from the previous search. This way it's much 
      easier to search for another pattern using the same selector. For example, here the 
      animal is preselected when the Quick Search dialog is opened:
        cont:dog
    > Tip: To quickly select the whole term press F2.
    ! Hover Box: Since 20230829, the Hover Box was no longer shown for ICO files. Fixed.

    * List | Full Row Select mode: v19.00.0008 - 2018-06-09 13:45 brought this:
      * List | Full Row Select mode: From now on, when you right-click an 
        unselected row anywhere but in the very caption it does not select that 
        item anymore but behaves like right-clicking the white space (pops the 
        white space context menu without changing any selections).
        This is pretty much like File Explorer behaves as well. Before, it could 
        have been hard to pop the white space context menu when in Full Row Select 
        mode because of lack of white space.
      Well, it was *only* "pretty much" how FE behaved. Now it's exactly like FE behaves: 
      White space and black space are distinguished on a cell-by-cell basis, i.e. 
      right-clicking on text selects the item and gives you the item's context menu, 
      whereas right-clicking on white space gives you the white space context menu.
    * Glider: Renamed the hover zone options:
      - Narrow = scrollbar width
      - Wide = scrollbar width x 4
      - All White Space = all white space
    ! Glider: Fixed various glitches.

    + Glider: Revised the snapping option, replacing the "Snap to Edge" toggle with a 
      three-way choice: Snap to Mouse, Snap to Edge, Snap to First Button.
      The new kid on the block is Snap to First Button. The mouse is in the center of the 
      first button, ready to click. The placement does not care about the visibility of 
      the other buttons. So this setting works best when you only show one button. 
      For example, if you just move things into folders manually, this setting provides 
      the ultimate efficiency.
    * Glider: Revised the hover zone options:
      - Small = scroll bar width
      - Large = scroll bar width x 4
      - All White Space = all white space
    ! Cell Context Menu on Extra Columns: Live Filter and Quick Search triggered from that 
      menu did not work with certain formatted data types like rating stars and numbers 
      with thousand separators. Fixed.
