v24.90.0116 - 2023-09-10 11:08
    * Scripting | Dereferencing: Since v24.80.0002 - 2023-08-12 13:42 dereferencing is 
      allowed in interpolation (including HEREDOCs). However, this broke some old scripts, 
      which is a no-go. So dereferencing in interpolation is now disabled by default. See 
      below for how to enable it.
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: AID (for AllowInterpolatedDereferencing)
      Action: Controls whether dereferencing is allowed in interpolation.
      Syntax: aid [allow=1]
        allow: 1 = [default] allowed
               0 = not allowed
      Note: Also affects dereferencing in HEREDOCs.
      Example:
        $v = "vampire"; $vd = '$v'; $c = "cow";
          echo *$vd . ", " . *$c . ", *$vd, *$c, $v, $c"; //vampire, cow, *$v, *cow, vampire, cow
          aid;
          echo *$vd . ", " . *$c . ", *$vd, *$c, $v, $c"; //vampire, cow, vampire, cow, vampire, cow
          aid 0;
          echo *$vd . ", " . *$c . ", *$vd, *$c, $v, $c"; //vampire, cow, *$v, *cow, vampire, cow
    ! Dragging items over stale network links could cause the application to freeze for a 
      few seconds while hopelessly trying to establish a connection. Fixed.
    ! Startup: May have detected and fixed a rare way for the app to start with "View | 
      Suspend Auto-Refresh" erroneously checked on a normal folder.

v24.90.0115 - 2023-09-09 14:41
    + SC quicksearch enhanced: The new flag "o" ("order") sorts the results alphabetically 
      ascending. This makes a subtle difference on NTFS and a huge difference on 
      FAT32/exFAT.
      Syntax: quicksearch([query="*"], [path], [separator="<crlf>"], [flags])
        flags:  [optional] String of flags to modify the function.
                o: Sort results alphabetically in ascending order.
      Remarks:
        - These settings are honored by the sort procedure:
          - Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort method
          - Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort | Sort filenames by base
      Examples:
        text quicksearch("*.txt", 3:="");   //unsorted
        text quicksearch("*.txt", 3:="o");  //alphabetically ascending
    ! Glider: Fixed various glitches.

    + Glider: Now the disabled buttons also have a tooltip. It's a bit unusual to show a 
      tip for disabled controls, but certainly helpful for newbies.
    ! Glider: Fixed various glitches.
    + Branch View: In analogy to the changes in v24.80.0026 - 2023-08-25 16:38 you can now 
      paste items into the currently focused subsections of a Branch View.
      - When a folder is focused and you choose Edit | Paste (Ctrl+V), the items are now 
        pasted into the focused folder.
      - When a file is focused and you choose Edit | Paste (Ctrl+V), the items are now 
        pasted into the parent folder as siblings of that file.
      - One exception: If an empty folder is focused, it is treated as a file in this 
        respect. Try it and you'll see that it makes sense.
      > Tip: To allow pasting into a selected empty folder within a Branch View tick this:
        Configuration | General | Controls & More | Miscellaneous | Paste to selected list 
        folder

v24.90.0112 - 2023-09-07 21:12
    ! Glider: Multi-scripts did not work as expected. Fixed. Changed the internal format. 
      You will have to re-layout your old script if it had more that one line.
      Now you can do the normal XYplorer multi-scripts that will pop a menu, for example:
        "Copy Path" copytext <g_path>;
        "Open in New Tab" tab("new", <g_path>); 
    ! Glider: Fixed various drawing glitches.

v24.90.0111 - 2023-09-07 13:16
    + Glider Improvements:
      - Added options Small, Large, Extra Large to the "Hover Zone" submenu to control the 
        width of the hover zone. Small = scroll bar width, Large = x 2, Extra Large = x 4.
      - Added command "Initial Delay" to the "Hover Zone" submenu. Here you can set the 
        initial delay measured in ms.
        Valid values are 1 to 1000. You can set it to 0, in which case it reverts to the 
        factory default, which is now 200 ms.
    ! Glider: The delay was miscalculated, so it took twice as long as intended. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Only 
      while the shift key is held down: Was not respected in the Tree. Fixed.

v24.90.0110 - 2023-09-06 19:15
    + Glider Improvements:
      - Added the "Snap to Edge" toggle. Note that turning this on may cause you to 
        accidentally click a glider button when you click the white space in the glider's 
        hover zone. You've been warned.
      - Added the "Button Size" submenu: Small, Large, Extra Large.
        Note that larger buttons also increase the size of the hover zone.
      - Added the "Select Color" command: Set to full black to return to the factory 
        default light-blue.

v24.90.0109 - 2023-09-06 14:58
    + Glider Improvements: The glider now has a right-click menu with various 
      configuration options:
        - Hover Zone: Left Edge, Right Edge, Both Edges
        - Buttons per Row: 1, 2, 3, 4
        - Edit Buttons...
        - Edit Script...
    * Glider: The syntax of GliderButtons (now GliderBtns) has changed. Since there is GUI 
      access now, it's not that important, but still: The visibility of a button is now 
      controlled by a leading +, and the number of buttons per row now has an extra key 
      (GliderBtnsPerRow), and gpaste became gcpaste.
        - Example (factory default, 3 buttons in one row):
          GliderBtns=+gcopy,+gmove,+gcpaste,gscript"
          GliderBtnsPerRow=3

v24.90.0106 - 2023-09-04 15:10
    + Glider Improvements:      
      - Added an optional 4th button for custom scripts. The glider path (i.e. the folder 
        the glider points to) can be referenced with the new <g_path> variable.
        - The INI key is GliderScript (currently a tweak, soon via GUI).
        - Example:
            GliderScript="echo 'Glider at path ' . <g_path>;"
      - Now you can define which buttons are shown, in which order they are shown, and how 
        many buttons are shown per row.
        - The INI key is GliderButtons (currently a tweak, soon via GUI).
        - Syntax: buttons_per_row,buttonkey[,buttonkey][,buttonkey][,buttonkey]
        - Examples:
            GliderButtons=2,gcopy,gmove,gpaste,gscript      ;all 4 buttons, 2 per row
            GliderButtons=1,gscript,gpaste,gcopy,gmove      ;all 4 buttons, 1 per row (= vertical strip)
            GliderButtons=3,gcopy,gmove,gpaste"             ;factory default, all 3 in one row
      - Now you can control which area of the tree will trigger the glider: left, right, or both.
        - The INI key is GliderProps (currently a tweak, soon via GUI), a bit field.
        - Examples:
            GliderProps=1 'left
            GliderProps=2 'right
            GliderProps=3 'left and right

v24.90.0105 - 2023-09-04 15:10
    * Glider Improvements:
      - The glider hot zone (the area where the mouse triggers the glider) is now limited 
        to a vertical strip on the right side of the tree, as wide as a scroll bar (that's 
        17 pixels by Windows default on 100%). This strip is hot even if a folder name 
        reaches into it.
      - The glider will now appear at a position where the mouse pointer is over its 
        non-clickable area to prevent accidental clicks.
      - The glider will now disappear even in the same row once you move the mouse to the 
        left of it.
      - The target folder is now additionally marked with a surrounding rectangle. This 
        rectangle stays on when overwrite prompts appear during a glider-triggered 
        operation.
      - Disabled buttons are now more clearly marked as disabled.
      - The Move button is now disabled if source and target folder are identical.
      - The glider buttons now have a subtle press down effect.
      - Now only the left button triggers an action (of course, that was a bug).
      - After using a glider button, the focus is set to the list. This makes successive 
        actions much easier.

    * Glider Improvements:
      - You can now switch sides on the same node and the glider will switch with you.
      - Buttons: Copy, Move, Paste, with tooltips and hover effect.
      - Buttons are enabled depending on the situation.

v24.90.0103 - 2023-09-02 19:38
    + Menu Tools | Customize Tree: Added toggle "Show Glider". So you need to actively 
      turn it on now if you want to continue to see history in the making.
    * Glider Improvements:
      - Now the arrow points directly to the folder name for safe targeting.
      - The arrowheads are now barbed.
      - The glider will no longer jump to the other side if there is not enough room on 
        the current side. It will stay here and overlap whatever is in its way. Not pretty 
        but functional.
      - Made the whole thing a bit bigger (fatter targets).
      - Added some fake button shapes to enhance the simulation. No function yet.
    ! Rename Preview: Drawing glitch when scrolling. Fixed.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.172.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.172.lng is uploaded.

    * Glider Improvements:
      - The glider no longer overlaps the expansion icon (but moves to the right instead).
      - The area to the right of the nodes is now also a hot zone. Feels natural and 
        reduces mouse movement.
      - When possible, the glider appears horizontally centered on the mouse pointer, not 
        to the left of it.

v24.90.0101 - 2023-09-01 13:55
  +++ The Glider: You move the mouse over the area in the tree to the left of the nodes, 
      and for each node the Glider, a floating mini toolbar, magically appears, offering 
      the two most basic file management buttons: Copy and Move (and optionally one ot two 
      other buttons). Clicking them will copy or move whatever is selected in list to the 
      folder the glider is pointing to. A one-click-wonder. Everyone has always wanted 
      this (subconsciously), everyone will get it immediately because it's so natural, 
      it's a game changer.
    + The Glider, Phase 1: The glider is now implemented for the tree (a list glider may 
      come later). It does nothing yet (no buttons), but you can get a feel for it.
      - The hot zone for each node is to the left of the expansion (or folder) icon.
      - The glider will appear to the left of the mouse pointer.
      - When space is limited, the glider will appear to the right of the node if there is 
        more space. I decided against vertical gliders because it does not work well with 
        motor memory.
      - To make it feel smooth and not annoying, the glider will not appear as long as the 
        mouse is moving, it will only appear when and where the mouse rests for 150 msec.
      - Of course, showing the glider will be optional later, and the color will be 
        customizable.
