    + SC interfacecolors: Now you can use ifc as an alias.  
    + SC interfacecolors: Now you can use it to customize the Breadcrumb colors.
      Syntax: interfacecolors([colors], [type=0])
        type:   3 = Breadcrumb Colors
                Format: AT1,AB1,IT1,IB1,AT2,AB2,IT2,IB2 (A=Active,I=Inactive,T=Text,B=Back,1=Pane1,2=Pane2)
                        Each color in RRGGBB format.
                        Omitted values remain unchanged.
                Empty: Reset the breadcrumb colors to factory defaults.
                Missing: Just return the current breadcrumb colors.
        return: Current breadcrumb colors.
      Remarks:
        - Factory defaults: FFFFFF,5C97DE,FFFFFF,B1B6BC,FFFFFF,B08062,FFFFFF,B9B4B1
      Examples:
        echo ifc(, 3); //display the current breadcrumb colors definition
        ifc("", 3); //reset all breadcrumb colors to the factory defaults
        ifc("EEFFEE,5C879E,FFFFEE,A1B6CC,FFEEEE,A06072,FFFFEE,C9A4B1", 3); //set all breadcrumb colors to custom values
        ifc(",5C879E,,A1B6CC,,A06072,,C9A4B1", 3); //modify just the back colors
        ifc(",7CB76E", 3); //modify just the back color of the active breadcrumb in pane 1
    + Admin Settings: As part of the effort to limit the power of employees (ELPE), admins 
      now have the ability to prevent the Preview Now button from being displayed (the 
      button is normally displayed for file types that are excluded from preview via 
      Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats):
        eAPDisallow_PreviewNow = 65536
      In the "Admin.ini" file (located where "XYplorer.exe" is) add (or OR to the current 
      value) the following:
        [Settings]
        Profile=65536
    * View | Mini Tree | Load Last Mini Tree: Renamed to "Load Previous Mini Tree".

v24.80.0015 - 2023-08-18 11:56
    * Mini Tree: Now the "Chevron" expansion icon in the Mini Tree is a little smaller 
      than in the Maxi Tree. This gives you a little hint about the type of tree.
      FYI, the other expansion icons mark the difference with their color, but this does 
      not work well with the chevron.
    ! Mini Tree: Since v24.70.0014 - 2023-08-05 11:58, when saving the configuration in 
      Maxi Tree mode, your Mini Tree data was overwritten by your last Mini Tree (if any). 
      Fixed.

    + Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead Find: Added 
      option "Allow repeated characters". Check it to allow jumping to "33" after pressing 
      "3" twice. If unchecked, the second "3" will jump to the next item containing "3".
      Note that this setting affects Type Ahead Find in Tree and List.
    - Tweak TAFNoRepeatCharCycle: Removed. Replaced by "Allow repeated characters".

v24.80.0013 - 2023-08-17 13:01
    + Tools | Customize List: Added toggle "Show Folder Row Colors". Tick it to show 
      folder row colors, i.e. mark folders with special text and background colors to make 
      them easier to distinguish from files.
    + List | Folder Row Colors: Now they also work in non-Details views.
    + SC interfacecolors: Now you can use it to custommize the Folder Row Colors.
      Syntax: interfacecolors([colors], [type=0])
        type: 2 = Folder Row Colors
              Format: [RRGGBB,]RRGGBB (textcolor,backcolor)
      Examples:
        echo interfacecolors(, 2); //display the current folder row colors definition
        interfacecolors("224488,DDEEFF", 2); //make them blue
        interfacecolors("", 2); //reset the folder row colors to the factory defaults
    + Hover Box: Now you can force holding down CTRL to trigger one of the one-letter 
      hotkeys while the hover box is displayed.This itself can be toggled by a one-letter 
      hotkey:
        X: Trigger hotkeys with/without CTRL
      Note that when CTRL is forced, the letters A-Z just go through the hover box to 
      wherever the focus is.
      Tip: The current state of this setting is shown in the Hover Box Tips dialog (F1) 
      where it says "Hold down the CTRL key to trigger these hotkeys:" if CTRL is forced.
    ! Fixed a rare out-of-stack-space crash bug that would bring down the app like a dead 
      stone. This type of crash never shows an error message because everything just broke.

v24.80.0011 - 2023-08-16 11:37
  >>> List | Details View: Experimentally, the background of folders is now colored light 
      brown. If you're looking for folders you came to the right place.
      No options, just throwing it at you to get a reaction.
    + SC tag: Added a new set of variables that are resolved on a per-item basis as the 
      batch of selected items is processed. These new variables make reflexive 
      (self-referential) batch tagging a piece of cake.
        <item>          = The full path/name of the item.
        <itembase>      = The base of the item.
        <itemext>       = The extension of the item.
        <itemname>      = The name of the item.
        <itempath>      = The path of the item.
        <itemprop ...>  = A property of the item (equivalent to  <prop ...>).
      Remarks:
        - <itemprop ...> is channeled through the powerful <prop ...> variable for each 
          item, so it can do a lot of interesting things.
      Examples:
        tag <itemname>, , 1, 1; //set each selected item's Tags field to its name
        tag <itemname>, , 2; //set each selected item's Comments field to its name
        // set each selected item's Comments field to its name, size, and MD5 hash:
        tag "Size of <itemname>: <itemprop #1>, <itemprop #hash.md5 n>", , 2;
    ! Variable <get ...>: Couldn't handle hex numbers.
        echo get("exif", 0x9003); //worked
        echo <get exif 0x9003>; //didn't work
      Fixed. Now both work.

    * View | Folder View Settings | Apply Previous Folder View: Now the previous folder 
      view is only updated if the new folder view is different from it. Otherwise, the 
      current view and the previous view would be identical, which would be pointless.
    % Rename Preview: Better alignment in the case of conflicts.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Folder Tree... / 
      File List...: Error 91 since v24.80.0005 - 2023-08-14 17:05. Fixed.

v24.80.0008 - 2023-08-15 11:19
    + Custom File Icons: Now the setting "Check Network Locations for Content-Based Folder 
      Icons" is also available in the "Custom File Icons" dialog ("Tools | Customize File 
      Icons..." and "Tools | List Management | Custom File Icons..."). The small toolbar 
      has a new button "Configuration" that opens a mini-menu.
    % Startup: Since v24.60.0102 - 2023-07-16 12:14 it is ensured that the upper left 
      corner of the main window is fully visible after startup. However, this does not 
      play well with Aero Snap, so a startup position down to X = -10 and Y = -10 is now 
      tolerated.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Tree path tracing | 
      Mark nodes: Renamed to "Mark intermediate nodes".

v24.80.0005 - 2023-08-14 17:05
    + View | Folder View Settings: Added toggle "Automatically Apply Default Folder View". 
      Tick it to automatically apply the default folder view (if one was defined) if 
      a new location does not have its own folder view defined.
      This had previously been the hard-coded behavior. Now you can turn it off.
    + View | Folder View Settings: Added command "Apply Default Folder View". It will 
      apply the default folder view (if one was defined) to the current list.
      With "Automatically Apply Default Folder View" turned off, this new command starts 
      to make a lot of sense. I personally assigned a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+<) to it 
      and I know I will use it a lot.
    + View | Folder View Settings: Added command "Apply Previous Folder View". Re-applies 
      the folder view that was active just before one of the following commands was 
      triggered:
        - Apply Default Folder View
        - Restore Folder View
        - Apply Previous Folder View (sic, the command itself is one of them)
      The command allows you to toggle between the last two folder views.
      Note: The previous folder view is not remembered across sessions.      
    + View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views: The following has been added 
      v14.60.0217 - 2014-12-11 18:36:
        Experimentally (not officially documented) added a way to apply any of the defined 
        Folder Views to the current folder (just ad hoc and temporarily, without making it 
        the permanent view for this folder): Hold CTRL while you OK the dialog. That way 
        you can have an arsenal of Folder Views from which you can quite easily select one 
        for instant use. Cool.
      About time to make it official. Now it's mentioned in the OK button's tooltip. :)
    ! Info Panel | Properties | Date Time Fields Tooltips: If the column date format was 
      set to a format that does not include seconds, then the tooltips falsely displayed 
      the seconds as always being :00. Fixed. Now the seconds are shown in the tooltip.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.171.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.171.lng is uploaded.

    + SC tab("new"): Now you can pass a file path in the data argument, and the new tab 
      will open at the containing folder and the file will be focused and selected.
      Works as well for tab("newb") where the file is focused and selected when you select 
      the new tab; even across sessions.
      Example:
        tab("new", <xy>);  //open new tab and focus XYplorer.exe

    + Custom Event Actions: Added new variable <CEA_ClickedColumnCanonic> that is set to the 
      canonic name (UI language independent) of the clicked column. Works in Details view only.
      Proof of concept script:
        if (<CEA_ClickedItem>) {

            <crlf>Clicked column: <CEA_ClickedColumn>

            <crlf>Clicked cell: <CEA_ClickedCell>";

    * Scripting | Dereferencing: In v14.30.0006 - 2014-07-14 14:30 dereferencing was 
      disallowed in interpolation. Why? Experimentally, I will now allow it.
        $v = "fish";
          $vd = '$v';
          echo *$vd . ", $v, *$vd, $vd, $v, *$vd"; //fish, fish, fish, $v, fish, fish
          $a = array("cat", "dog");
          $p = '$a';
          *$p[1] = 'horse'; // set dereferenced array element
          echo *$p[1] . ", $a[1], *$p[1], $p[1], $a[1], *$p[1]"; //horse, horse, horse, $a[1], horse, horse
      
      Note that the dereferencing is NOT performed recursively but only one time for each variable.
        // Non-recursive, returns "It's a *$v!"                           (*$vd2 -> *$vd -> *$v)  
          $v = "fish"; $vd = '$v'; $vd2 = '*$vd'; echo "It's a *$vd2!";
        // If it was done recursively the return would be "It's a fish!"  (*$vd2 -> *$vd -> $v -> "fish")
          $v = "fish"; $vd = '$v'; $vd2 = '*$vd'; echo "It's a *$vd2!";
          
      Also HEREDOCs are now dereferenced:
        $a = '$b'; $b = "Test"; echo <<<FOO
                *$a!
                FOO
