v24.70.0006 - 2023-08-01 13:27
    + Tree: Added a way to backcolor different sections of the tree to improve orientation 
      in a long tree. It's currently implemented as a tweak, but is also available via 
      scripting.
      Four sections can be colored: SpecFolders1|Drives|SpecFolders2|Network, where 
      each color is optional and must be specified in RRGGBB format.
      Example tweak (omitting the Drives section):
        TreeSectionColors=F5F8FC||F0F8F8|F5F5F0
      Example script (omitting the Drives section):
        interfacecolors("F5F8FC||F0F8F8|F5F5F0", 1);
      More examples:
        echo interfacecolors(, 1); //display the current section colors definition
        interfacecolors("", 1); //remove all section colors
      Notes:
        - The sections as they appear in the tree from top to bottom:
          SpecFolders1: This PC and any special folders.
          Drives:       All drives with a drive letter (local and mapped).
          SpecFolders2: Recycle Bin and portable drives.
          Network:      All network locations with UNC paths.
        - If the color is missing, the section uses the default tree backcolor.
        - Dark mode colors are automatically derived from the light mode colors.

      Hover Box. Toggle real/special path by pressing the "H" key while the Hover Box is 
      displayed.
        H: Toggle real/special path.
      Of course, you will only see a difference if the hovered path is a special path, and 
      if showing the path is enabled for the status area.
    % Hover Box: No more unnecessary repositioning by a few pixels when changing 
      properties.

    * Hover Box: The status area now adds the words "reduced to" to the displayed 
      dimensions when the preview is smaller than the original.
    * Close Preview by ESC: Renamed to "Allow ESC to Close Preview".    
    ! Close Preview by ESC: Could not preview the same file again directly after closing

    + SC focus: Now PP also focuses the Preview Tab if that's where the preview currently 
      happens.
      Syntax: focus [control (L|A|T|C|P1|P2|PI|LFB|PP|FP|XY)]
        control:
          PP: Preview Pane or Preview Tab
    * Close Preview by ESC: Now the focus is moved to the list if it was on the preview.
    ! Toolbar | Details View: Under certain conditions, the button would get confused 
      about which view was last. Fixed.
    ! Edit | Paste Special | Edit Clipboard...: If you emptied the text box and clicked 
      OK, the clipboard would go into a mysterious state that had no content but was not 
      empty either. Fixed. Now the clipboard is empty.

    + Hover Box: The Hover Box now supports Zoom To Fit, so you can get an enlarged view 
      of smaller images. Toggle the feature by pressing the "Z" key while the Hover Box is 
      showing.
        Z: Toggle Zoom To Fit.
      Of course, if the original image is larger than the Hover Box there will be no 
      visible difference in the Hover Box.
    * Hover Box: Factory default size is now 512x512 (was 500x500). Better ratio for Zoom 
      To Fit.

    % Image Dupes: Smaller images (<= 256x256) would not always match their large 
      relatives when they should, due to mysterious circumstances in certain Windows image 
      scaling routines. Now it's better. You know, working in Windows means working around 
      Windows.
    % Image Dupes: May support more file types. Depends on lots of factors.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing the 
      location: If ticked, a locked search results tab could be overwritten when changing 
      the tree location. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails: Added option "Zoom to fit". Tick it enlarge 
      smaller originals as much as the current thumbnail size will allow (no cropping).
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced: Added field "ZoomToFit" to the "settings" argument:
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding,Transparency, _
                  ShowIcon,ShowDimensions,OverlayCaption,FolderThumbs,ZoomToFit"], [separator=","])
        settings:
          ZoomToFit: 0 or 1 or ! (toggle 0/1)
                    = Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Zoom to fit
      Example:
        thumbsconf(",,,,,,,,,!"); //toggle ZoomToFit
    % Thumbnails | Zoom to Fit: Now when toggling the setting, only those thumbnails are 
      updated that can actually be zoomed to fit. And it's only done while painting, the 
      thumbnail cache in memory and on disk is not touched. So it's lightning fast now.

    + Thumbnails: Added toggle "Zoom to Fit" to enlarge smaller originals as much as the 
      current thumbnail size will allow. For example, in the default Large Tiles view, a 
      16x16 icon is then displayed in 192x192 monster size.
      The toggle is currently found only in the context menu of various views related 
      toolbar buttons, eg "Details View" or "Dark Mode". It is only visible in that menu 
      if the list is currently in a Thumbnails or a Tiles view.
      Notes:
      - If the setting is toggled the current thumbnails are all refreshed. This can 
        be optimized later (to refresh only those that actually can zoom to fit).
      - If the original is at least 4 times smaller (in any dimension) than the thumbnail 
        or the original is <= 32x32, it will be resized without anti-aliasing (the same 
        rule has been used elsewhere in the application for many years), so you can really 
        see the fat pixels of your little icons. With anti-aliasing it would just look 
        awful.
      - Hover Box and MDBU work normally. Of course, now they are smaller than the 
        thumbnail.
      - If you rather want to tweak it for whatever reason, this is the key:
        ThumbsZoomToFit=1

    + Info Panel | Raw View | Orange Button Menu: Added toggle "Resolve Links". Tick it to 
      raw view the targets of LNK files. Untick it to raw view the LNK files themselves. 
      Previously, raw viewing the targets was hardcoded.
    ! Quick Select (>>>): Did not support " " as separator (Boolean OR) alternative to 
      "|". Fixed. Now it's consistent with the Spot marker >>. For example, this will 
      select all files in the current list containing either pay or back:
        >>>pay back
      This will highlight those strings in the filenames:
        >>pay back

    % Address Bar: Win10 and later became much slower than previous versions of Windows in 
      certain areas of drawing graphics. One particular context where this became very 
      noticeable was the address bar dropdown at 125% when it contained many scripts 
      (drawing the script icon was the problem). I have now worked around this to make it 
      much faster.
    ! Multiline Message Boxes: Double-clicking on the first/last word in a line also 
      selected the adjacent word on the previous/next line. Fixed.
