v27.90.0046 - 2025-09-15 12:13
    ! Bytes Display: When the decimal symbol and the digit grouping symbol (DGS) were set 
      to the same character in the system number format settings (a clear user error but 
      tolerated by Windows), any numbers featuring the DGS were cut at the leftmost DGS 
      because the system inserted a null character as the DGS (crass move!).
      This was already partially fixed in v20.30.0018 - 2019-09-06 12:48 but only 
      partially. Now the fix is complete and the result looks different: You won't see any 
      DGS in that situation anymore, which should alert you to revisit your number format 
      settings and correct the error.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0009.
    ! Paper Folders: When applying a Branch View to a Paper Folder, the indenting did not 
      always work. Fixed.
    ! Paper Folders In Tree: PFIT was introduced in v14.80.0219 - 2015-01-29 13:03 ("mild 
      inofficial support") but never made it to become an official feature. Still, bugs 
      related to PFIT should be fixed, of course: When toggling Branch View on a Paper 
      Folder with Mini Tree enabled, that Paper Folder was automatically added to the 
      tree. This should not happen, and it didn't work well at all when the Paper Folder 
      was stated with a full path. Fixed.

    ! Shell Context Menu: Using the PowerRename command (Microsoft Power Toys) worked, but 
      popped a meaningless "Automation error". Fixed.

v27.90.0050 - 2025-09-21 19:35
    * App Data Folder: Changed the default strategy. Now the 64-bit version uses 
      "%appdata%\XYplorer64" by default (defined in Startup.ini).
    + Upgrading to 64-bit version: If "%appdata%\XYplorer64" does not exist but 
      "%appdata%\XYplorer" does, then "%appdata%\XYplorer64" is optionally (there is a 
      prompt) created as a clone of "%appdata%\XYplorer" at startup.
      That way, when upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit, the 64-bit version can smoothly 
      inherit an existing 32-bit configuration without overwriting it, and without nuking 
      it when the 32-bit version is eventually uninstalled (which many users are likely to 
      do).
    > Note: The above only happens if you install the 64-bit version for the first time, 
      because Startup.ini is never overwritten by subsequent installations. You can 
      however manually edit Startup.ini to point to "%appdata%\XYplorer64":
        [Appdata]
        Path=%appdata%\XYplorer64
      On the next start, if "%appdata%\XYplorer64" does not exist, you will be prompted to 
      copy "%appdata%\XYplorer" as "%appdata%\XYplorer64".
    * XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0010.
    * Updated the help file. From now on the 64-bit is separate from the 32-bit one.
      Btw, the 64-bit Help file is now called XYplorer.chm again (was XYplorer64.chm).

v28.00.0004 - 2025-09-26 11:04
    + Custom Copy: You can now copy and move junctions natively as junctions, meaning they 
      will remain junctions in the target location and keep their original target. No more 
      need for third-party tools.
      This feature works for directly selected junctions, as well as those deeper within 
      selected folders.
      Since creating junctions requires administrative rights, you must run XYplorer as an 
      administrator to use this feature, otherwise all junctions are skipped. Also if a 
      particular junction fails to create for any reason, it is simply skipped (there is 
      no fallback to copying the contents of the junction target recursively because this 
      is probably not what you want).
      Notes:
      - Currently it's implemented only as a tweak, no UI. Set SkipJunctions to 2:
          [CustomCopy1]
          SkipJunctions=2
      - Currently it's implemented only in foreground processes.
      - Both, UI and background, will be fully implemented when twinBASIC is ready for it.
      - However, scripting provides easy access to the feature right now. See the next point.
    + SC copyto, moveto, backupto: The skip_junctions parameter now has a new value of 2, 
      which is used to copy or move junctions as junctions. And the parameter has been renamed 
      to "junctions":        
        junctions       [optional] How junctions and their contents are handled.
                        Empty or missing = Use global setting from Configuration.
                        0 = Copy as folders
                        1 = Skip
                        2 = Copy as junctions
      Example ("Junction to SomeFolder" is a junction):
        copyto "T:\TestTarget", "E:\Test\junc\Junction to SomeFolder", 9:=2;  //Copy as junctions

v28.00.0005 - 2025-09-27 16:22
    ! File | Settings Special | Load Configuration...: When loading a configuration file 
      from a folder other than the default application data folder (as defined in 
      Startup.ini), which is possible since v25.10.0104 - 2023-11-10 16:48, the new 
      configuration was not retained in the subsequent sessions. Fixed.
      Notes:
      - This is done by storing (and later reading) the full path of the configuration 
        file in lastini.dat if its folder is different from the one defined in 
        Startup.ini. If the folder is the same then just the base of the INI file, usually 
        "XYplorer" is stored in lastini.dat.
      - The license data is always searched for in the folder defined in Startup.ini. This 
        allows you to easily switch configurations without reentering license data.
      - When you define the configuration path via command line switch /ini=... the new 
        configuration is not retained via lastini.dat.
    ! View | Views | Details with Thumbnails: There was sometimes a small, vertical line 
      of pixel dirt in the focused row. Fixed.
    ! No-Install Package: Contained two help files. XYplorer64.chm was the wrong one. Fixed.
    ! Drag-and-Drop: Drag-and-Drop into the list from an UNC path in an external process 
      did not work. Fixed.
    ! Drag-and-Drop: Drag-and-Drop into the list or the tree from an external process 
      always used shell copy even if Custom Copy was enabled. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar: The black vertical line that serves as the bookmark insertion marker would 
      not disappear when the mouse left the toolbar while staying on that line. Fixed.

    ! Time Stamping: Got confused with regional short date dd.MM.yyyy if the day number
