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

v24.90.0109 - 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

v24.90.0110 - 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.

v24.90.0111 - 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.

v24.90.0112 - 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.

v24.90.0114 - 2023-09-08 12:59
    + 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

v24.90.0115 - 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.

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.

    + Glider: Revised the snapping option, replacing the "Snap to Edge" toggle with a 
      three-way choice: Snap to Mouse, Snap to Edge, Snap to First Button.
      The new kid on the block is Snap to First Button. The mouse is in the center of the 
      first button, ready to click. The placement does not care about the visibility of 
      the other buttons. So this setting works best when you only show one button. 
      For example, if you just move things into folders manually, this setting provides 
      the ultimate efficiency.
    * Glider: Revised the hover zone options:
      - Small = scroll bar width
      - Large = scroll bar width x 4
      - All White Space = all white space
    ! Cell Context Menu on Extra Columns: Live Filter and Quick Search triggered from that 
      menu did not work with certain formatted data types like rating stars and numbers 
      with thousand separators. Fixed.

    * List | Full Row Select mode: v19.00.0008 - 2018-06-09 13:45 brought this:
      * List | Full Row Select mode: From now on, when you right-click an 
        unselected row anywhere but in the very caption it does not select that 
        item anymore but behaves like right-clicking the white space (pops the 
        white space context menu without changing any selections).
        This is pretty much like File Explorer behaves as well. Before, it could 
        have been hard to pop the white space context menu when in Full Row Select 
        mode because of lack of white space.
      Well, it was *only* "pretty much" how FE behaved. Now it's exactly like FE behaves: 
      White space and black space are distinguished on a cell-by-cell basis, i.e. 
      right-clicking on text selects the item and gives you the item's context menu, 
      whereas right-clicking on white space gives you the white space context menu.
    * Glider: Renamed the hover zone options:
      - Narrow = scrollbar width
      - Wide = scrollbar width x 4
      - All White Space = all white space
    ! Glider: Fixed various glitches.

    * Quick Search: Now, if there is a selector, the pattern after the selector will be 
      preselected in the search term retained from the previous search. This way it's much 
      easier to search for another pattern using the same selector. For example, here the 
      animal is preselected when the Quick Search dialog is opened:
        cont:dog
    > Tip: To quickly select the whole term press F2.

    % Opening shortcuts (LNK files): Due to some fatal bitness-related smartness, the 
      shell would open LNKs to "C:\Program Files" in "C:\Program Files (x86)" when opened 
      from a 32-bit process. Not anymore! Dirty but successful, XYplorer now hacks around 
      this.    
    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: ShellProps
      Action: Displays the shell properties dialog for a given item.
      Syntax: shellprops [item]
        item: The item for which shell properties are to be displayed.
              Or :addressbar, :tree, :list, or :catalog for the focused item in these controls.
              Defaults to the focused item in the focused control (Address Bar, Tree, List, or Catalog).
      Examples:
        shellprops;           //for the focused item in the focused control
        shellprops ":list";   //for the focused list item (even if the list itself has no focus)
