    ! Portable Devices: Since 20230603, the shell icons of special paths were no longer 
      displayed in the breadcrumb, tab headers and some other places when portable devices 
      were connected. Fixed.

    - Content-Based Folder Icons: Removed the "n" switch. That wasn't the right place for 
      the logic because only *after* the check we know whether a folder is empty, filled, 
      or access denied, so it's pointless to have individual network switches for /e /f /x.
    + Content-Based Folder Icons: Now there's a global setting "Check Network Locations 
      for Content-Based Folder Icons" and it's in the context menu of the "Enable custom 
      file icons" toolbar button. I know, clumsy and hidden, but once you know it, it's 
      very handy compared to the "n" switch.

    + Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons: Added option "Draw hidden 
      icons ghosted". Check it to do what it says. The default is ON, as this is the 
      Windows standard. Now you can turn it off to drive the ghosts away.
    ! Custom File Icons: Extracted icons did not work for compressed files. Fixed.
    > Custom File Icons: In general, extracted icons are not fully recommended for use in 
      CFI. Due to problems with the jumbo image list, they only work reliably up to a size 
      of 48x48.
    ! Icons: At screen resolution > 100% and Windows version >= Win10 icons in a certain 
      size that had a link overlay were drawn incorrectly (too large, and the overlays too 
      low). Fixed again.

    ! Content-Based Folder Icons: Didn't work for compressed folders in Win10 and later. 
      Fixed.
    ! Icons: At screen resolution > 100% and Windows version >= Win10 icons in a certain 
      size that had a link overlay were drawn incorrectly (too large, and the overlays too 
      low).
      You know, drawing icons in Windows is a black box with a lot of buttons, and an 
      alien nameless intelligence that changes with every version of Windows also pushes 
      those buttons all the time. Not complaining, makes it interesting.

    + Custom File Icons: Added 3 more icons to the package, one "FolderGeneric" (to be 
      used as a replacement for the default folder icon of your Windows version) and a 
      green and a gray one (currently not used, do what you want with them).
        *\><xypath>\XYicon_FolderGeneric.ico //matches all folders
      Big thanks to Brian Johnson for making the Windows 11 style color icons!
    + Custom File Icons: A fresh installation now comes with three ready-made CFI 
      definitions for folder icons. They also serve as cute examples of how it's done. 
      Custom File Icons is now disabled by default, and the "Enable Custom File Icons" 
      button is now part of the standard toolbar. So the newbie can experience the miracle 
      with a simple click.

    * Custom File Icons: Failed to add embedded/extracted icons to the jumbo image list 
      and eventually had to give up. As a result, the embedded icons have been removed. 
    + Custom File Icons: The above mentioned removed icons are now part of the download 
      package, as ICO files. If you want to use them, these are the definitions for Tools 
      | Customize File Icons...:
        *\ /x><xypath>\XYicon_FolderDenied.ico //matches all accessed denied folders
        *\ /e><xypath>\XYicon_FolderEmpty.ico //matches all empty folders
      In an upcoming release, they will be part of the factory setup.
    ! Thumbnails/Tiles Views: Fixed some minor icon drawing inconsistencies. Tested only 
      for Win8.1 at 100% and at 125%.

    + Status Bar: Now you can adjust the width of the first two sections of the status bar 
      by hitting Shift+Alt+Wheel over them. The width is increased or decreased in steps 
      of 10 pixels. The minimum width is 40 pixels, the maximum is the screen width.
      In case you don't have a mouse wheel (or if "Configuration | Colors and Styles | 
      Fonts | Enable zoom by Ctrl+mouse wheel" is disabled) you can tweak it here. Note 
      that these values are not the widths but the pixels that are *added* to the default 
      widths, and they can be negative.
      Example:
        StatusBarSection1WidthAdd=10
        StatusBarSection2WidthAdd=-10
    + Info Panel | Find Files: Now you can pop the context menu of the Find Now button 
      also by right-clicking the area right of the right-most tab header ("Excluded").

    > Custom File Icons: Failed to use factory default CFI icons embedded in XYplorer.exe. 
      I could not add them to the jumbo image list. Mysterious Windows fail. Tried it all. 
      Had to give up. I leave the (now slightly modified) icons embedded anyway. Could be 
      good for something. The icons themselves will be further improved.
    ! Scripting | Arrays: The interpolation fix in v24.50.0013 - 2023-06-14 19:42 caused 
      unjustified "Dubious Syntax" messages. Fixed.
    ! Fresh Instance Layout: On 125% screen resolution (or higher) the startup window was 
      too small to show all contents of the Info Panel. Fixed.

    % Icons extracted from icon resources: XY learned to extract icons larger than 32x32. 
      Here shown with the semi-documented sysicon command:
        sysicons "<xy>", 4, "e"; //256x256
      This fixed part of the embedded icons issue from v24.50.0104. 48x48 icons are now 
      shown perfectly. However 256x256 icons still fail. Working on it...

    + Custom File Icons: Default icons for "Access Denied" folders and empty folders are 
      now embedded in XYplorer.exe. CFI syntax:
        *\ /x><xy> /4 //matches all accessed denied folders
        *\ /e><xy> /5 //matches all empty folders
      This way, it's easy to predefine these icons in the factory defaults and make them 
      easily accessible to newbies.
      However, and this drives me crazy, sizes larger than 32 are stretched, and even that 
      only goes up to 48. Even though the embedded resource has all sizes up to 256 in the 
      finest quality. A million tries and a whole day wasted.
    + Info Panel | Properties: The embedded icons preview area (only visible if 
      "Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Show embedded icons on 
      Properties tab" is ticked AND you select a file that contains embedded icons) now 
      reacts to the mouse wheel. Hold SHIFT to wheel 6 times as fast.
    ! List | Tiles views: The focus rect was 2 pixels too low. Fixed.

    % Tabs: Added another intermediate size (automatically adjusted to the font size of 
      the tab header) for the X-close button. Now it can be 15x15 pixels and will be that 
      size on Segoe 9 at 125%. Before there was a jump from 12x12 to 18x18.
    ! Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing | Queue 
      file operations: Selections in the current list could get lost by auto-refresh when 
      and while a background operation popped a prompt (AND "Refresh during file 
      operations" was enabled). Fixed.
    ! Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: If enabled, the rename box became too small when renaming drives in the 
      tree. Fixed.
    ! List | Drives Listing: A drive name was not auto-updated when changed through 
      Properties. Fixed.
