    + Image Columns: Now when you hold CTRL while hovering an image you'll see the textual 
      contents of that cell in a tooltip (typically the path to the image).
:info: To easily upgrade to this BETA version from XYplorer, hold down the CTRL key while you click Help | Online Support | Check for Updates. If you prefer to download the BETA version, choose one of these packages:
(1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package (for manual unpacking).

:!!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned. It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...) before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    + List: Now when the mouse pointer is over a column header you can resize that column 
      by Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right. The exact new width is shown in the status bar. Works 
      also in non-Details views if column headers are visible.
    + Virtual Folders: In Virtual Folders duplicate items in one list are possible. Now 
      you can have the list deduped by passing switch "d". This, for example, guarantees 
      that XY is listed, but only once:
        vi:|d|<get list_recentlyopenedfiles>|<xy>
    % Speed: A new discovery lead to an overall increase in snappiness.

v24.20.0005 - 2023-03-03 09:50
    + Custom Event Actions: Added a variable that can be used in scripts called by event 
      "Drive added or removed" (and only there): <CEA_DriveAddedRemoved>. It is resolved 
      to the drive root path prefixed by "+" or "-" depending on whether it was added or 
      removed. For example:
      Script:
        echo "Drive added or removed: <CEA_DriveAddedRemoved>";
      Possible result on adding a drive:
        Drive added or removed: +G:\
      Possible result on removing a drive:
        Drive added or removed: -G:\
    ! List: Left/Right keys did not work in some views anymore since v24.20.0004. Fixed.

v24.20.0006 - 2023-03-03 13:17
    + Favorite Folders / Files: Now you can assign icons extracted from icon resources 
      (exe; dll; cpl; ocx; scr; icl; bpl; wlx; wfx; wcx; wdx; acm).
      For example:
        "Test 1|C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll /160" E:\Test
        "Test 2|%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /160" E:\Test
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced: Now you can limit the number of returned values. This makes 
      it easier to create future-safe scripts while the command adds ever more values to 
      its return.
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings], [separator=","])
        settings: If numeric then return this number of values (counted from left).
      Examples:
        echo thumbsconf();  //1,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,1
        echo thumbsconf(4); //1,0,0,2
      Example for a Custom Toolbar Button script (with pushed state):
        "Toggle Wall of Pictures"
          $on = '0,1,0,0';
          $off = '1,0,0,2';
          thumbsconf((thumbsconf(4) == $on) ? $off : $on);
          ctbstate(thumbsconf(4) == $on);

    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      Now the focus line, selection rect, and color filter backgrounds are drawn as wide as 
      the Name column in Details, List, and Small Icons views if this setting is enabled. 
      It's an experiment but I think it makes a lot of sense.
    * Updated the help file.

    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      - Now drag-select still can be initiated in List and Small Icons views when you start 
        it in the empty area of the Name column of a non-selected item.
      - You can also force the List's white space context menu by Ctrl+Right-Click on the 
        empty area of the Name column in List and Small Icons views even if "Full name 
        column select" is enabled.
      BTW, Full Row Select has the same solutions for the same problems for a long time.
    * Virtual Folders: Deletions are generally blocked in VFOs, but an exception was made 
      for SC delete in v24.00.0601 - 2023-02-03 19:47. This exception is now limited to 
      cases where the item(s) to delete are passed as argument.

    * List | Permanent Custom Sort Order: When introduced in v16.50.0204 - 2016-04-07 13:37 
      the service was limited to the top 5000 items in lists of any length. It turned out 
      that in really huge lists restoring the sort order that way takes a LOT OF TIME. So 
      to make it simple, the whole PCSO business is now confined to lists up to 5000 
      items. Larger lists forget their custom sort order on a tab switch or across sessions.
    * View | Tab | Type Stats and Filter...: Now when there are 32 or more items the 
      interface is a list instead of a menu. Better to handle.
    - Removed the v24.20.0016 fix. Wrong track.
