v22.80.0102 - 2022-02-08 13:13
    + Toolbar: Now the toolbar knows two separate fonts/sizes, one for the text buttons and 
      one for the button captions.
      For some years now Ctrl+Wheel modifies the button captions font size if captions are 
      shown. Now, Ctrl+Wheel modifies the text buttons font size if the button captions 
      are NOT shown (this now also includes the font size for labels in user buttons).
    + Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts: Added an extra control for the toolbar 
      text buttons.
    ! Toolbar: The combination of text buttons with button captions revealed numerous 
      problems. Fixed.
    ! Configuration: Longer topic headings have been truncated since 20220129. Fixed.

To update to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. To download it, choose a package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.

This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

v22.80.0103 - 2022-02-08 19:27
    + Toolbar: Added button group "All Menus (Group)". It will add all main menus as 
      buttons to the toolbar in one go.
    + Toolbar: Now the new menu buttons are multi-lingual.
    * Toolbar: Unless "Show verbatim tooltips" is enabled or you hold CTRL, the text 
      buttons don't show any tooltips anymore (because they are totally redundant).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.143.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.143.lng is uploaded.

    ! Dark Mode: Since 22.70.0245 the app could crash on startup on Windows 10 if the 
      build was < 19041. Fixed.

v22.80.0104 - 2022-02-09 12:55
    + Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Now a right-click pops all top menu items.
    * Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Changed the button keys to more future-safe and 
      user-friendly ones. What was "men_0" before is now "men_file".
      This means, of course, that you have to reconfigure your menu buttons. Well, it's 
      work in progress aka beta.
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar...: Now the toolbar fonts can be configured in this 
      dialog. You find the commands within the "Options..." button.
    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts: Removed the toolbar fonts.
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Didn't honor Configuration | Other | Features. Fixed.
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Fixed a couple of other glitches.

v22.80.0106 - 2022-02-09 20:11
    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can make your own text buttons. Simply prefix 
      "text:" to the Name, e.g. "text:Nicotine". Sure, they usually take up more space 
      than an icon, but if you don't have a suitable icon handy, you can type your button 
      now.
      FYI, if no script is defined for the CTB left-click, the text is treated as a 
      (absolute, or relative to app path) location, e.g. "text:C:\". Clicking the button 
      will attempt to go there, or to open it if it is a file.

v22.80.0108 - 2022-02-10 13:20
    + Toolbar | Menu Buttons: Now on-the-fly menu flip is supported. While a menu is 
      displayed, you can mouse over the next menu button and its menu will automatically 
      appear. FYI, it took me about 10 years to get this working.
    > Toolbar | Menu Buttons: The menus popped by these buttons have no item icons when 
      the main menu is hidden. An unfortunate and mysterious fact that simply has to be 
      accepted at this time.
    * Custom Toolbar Buttons | Text: Changed the behavior described in v22.80.0106. The 
      caption is NOT used as location anymore. This means you have to put something into 
      the "On left-click" field.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons | Text: Drawing meltdown when icon was not defined. Fixed.
    ! List | Label column | Cell Context Menu: Menu item icons defect after startup with a 
      hidden main menu bar. Fixed.

v22.80.0109 - 2022-02-10 21:28
    + Toolbar: Now there are two separate toolbar definitions that you can switch between 
      using Shift+Wheel over the toolbar. The 2nd one factory-defaults to the menu buttons 
      ({menus_all}). Both toolbars can be customized completely independently.

v22.80.0110 - 2022-02-11 19:01
    + Window | Arrangement: Added command "Switch Toolbar Button Set". Does the same as 
      Shift+Wheel over the Toolbar: Cycles through the button sets. But now you can assign 
      a keyboard shortcut to it.
      - You also get a Status Bar message now, e.g. "switched to button set #3".
      - The number of button sets can be set now in Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options.
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options: Added toggle "Allow Button Set Switching". Tick 
      if you actually want all that new button set switching.
      > It's on by factory default but upgraders have to actively tick it.
    + Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options: Added options field "Number of Button Sets". So 
      now you can have up to 4 different button sets.
    * Tools | Customize Toolbar | Options: When "Scrollable Toolbar" is OFF, you don't 
      need to hold down the SHIFT key to switch button sets by the wheel (assuming "Allow 
      Button Set Switching" is ON).
    * Tools | Customize Toolbar...: Now the index of the current button set is shown in 
      the dialog title, e.g. "Customize Toolbar - Button Set #2".      
    % Word Breaking: Improved the automatic word boundary recognition (on double-click, 
      Ctrl+Arrow, Ctrl+BackSpace) in the rename text boxes of all small lists.
    ! Custom Toolbar Buttons: Drawing glitch after switching from an image file icon 
      (nicotine.png) to an internal icon with a smaller width (:menu). Fixed.

v22.80.0111 - 2022-02-12 12:12
    + Toolbar: Added button "Switch Toolbar Button Set". Does what "Window | Arrangement | 
      Switch Toolbar Button Set" does.
    * Switch Toolbar Button Set: Now WheelUp goes up to the last set, WheelDown goes down 
      to the first set.
    ! Wheel: Apparently in Win10 and higher the wheel could by used on the backgrounded 
      main form while a modal dialog was shown. Not anymore.

v22.80.0112 - 2022-02-12 16:25
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: ButtonSet
      Action: Sets or gets the current toolbar button set.
      Syntax: buttonset([index])
        index: 1-4:     Index of the set to switch to.
               -1:      Cycle the sets.
               Other values: No switch happens.
               Missing: No switch happens.
        return: Index of the current set (before any switch).
      Remarks:
        - You can switch to a set that is not reachable via UI, e.g. to set #4 while 
          "Number of Button Sets" is set to 3. The power of scripting.
      Examples:
        echo buttonset(); //return current set index
        buttonset(-1); //cycle the sets
        buttonset(4); //switch to set 4
    * Wheel | Switch Toolbar Button Set: Reversed the direction: Now WheelDown goes on to 
      the next set till the last, WheelUp goes to the previous set till the first.
    ! Help | Keyboard Shortcuts on Menu: Was not honored by "Custom Toolbar Buttons | 
      Vertical Popup Toolbars" and "Breadcrumbs | Menu Button". Fixed.

v22.80.0113 - 2022-02-13 10:52
    + Toolbar: Now when button captions are shown, Ctrl+Wheel in the upper half of the 
      toolbar changes the button text font size, Ctrl+Wheel in the lower half of the toolbar 
      changes the button captions font size.
    - Wheel: Removed that fix from v22.80.0111 - 2022-02-12 12:12. If Win10 allows the 
      wheel to break modality this can be seen and used as a feature.
    > This feature from v9.40.0103 - 2010-08-14 15:43 stopped working somewhere along the 
      way:
        + Menu Go: All commands concerned with going to a new location now 
          support Ctrl+Shift+Click to use the inactive pane, even the "Go to 
          Last Target" (incl. selecting the target files) command.
          In the "Go to" dialog you can hold Ctrl+Shift while clicking OK.
      It cannot be restored, so I'll just remove it from the Help file.
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: The menus popped at the wrong location when the toolbar was 
      not left-aligned in the window. Fixed.

    * Toolbar | Show Menu: Renamed it to "Show Menu Bar".
    * Wheel | Switch Toolbar Button Set: If there are only 2 sets the wheel will cycle 
      them in each direction.
    ! Thumbnails: Certain JPEGs (those having an "XPComment") didn't show a thumbnail 
      anymore since some weeks ago. Fixed.
    ! Find Files | Contents | It's a hex string: Didn't work if Type wasn't set to 
      "Binary". Fixed. Now the setting of Type is irrelevant.
    ! Find Files | Contents | It's a hex string: Didn't work if the active code page 
      wasn't Windows-1252 (ANSI) (probably since v16.50.0215 - 2016-04-10 20:57). Fixed.

      remembered between calls of the dialog.

v22.80.0121 - 2022-02-15 11:24
    ! Tabs: Dragging tabs across panes had a problem with vertical panes. Fixed.
    ! Customize Toolbar: Since in Win10 and higher the mouse wheel works over the parent 
      window of a modal dialog (a radical change to all prior Windows versions), the 
      Customize Toolbar dialog could get out of sync by wheeling the toolbar in the 
      background and end up modifying the wrong button set. Fixed. Now it's always 
      changing the button set on which the dialog was launched (and whose index is shown 
      in the title bar).
    ! Toolbar | Menu Buttons: The on-the-fly menu flip was a bit shaky in Win10. Fixed.

    ! Customize Toolbar: The new settings "Allow Button Set Switching" and "Number of 
      Button Sets" couldn't be undone by Cancel. Fixed.
    ! Dark Mode: This change from v22.80.0103 - 2022-02-08 19:27 could be relaxed a bit:
        Since 22.70.0245 the app could crash on startup on Windows 10 if the 
        build was < 19041. Fixed.
      It seems to be enough to limit it to Windows 10 Version 1903 (OS build 18362) and 
      later.
