    + Native Context Menu: Now when hovering the "Open" command the status bar displays 
      (if possible) the app that will be used to open the right-clicked item. Only for 
      single selections and not for folders, just for files.
    ! Audio Properties: Since 20221207, audio properties were no longer displayed for most 
      MP4 files, and incorrect audio properties were displayed for some MP4 files. Fixed.
    ! Native Context Menu: Didn't work in non-Details views. Fixed.

    % Native Context Menu: Improvements to the "Open" status bar message.
    > The new "Open" message in the status bar is a cool feature. I never really liked the 
      surprise of opening an image file and then being confronted with Lightroom opening 
      for 2 minutes.

    % Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Check existence of subfolders in 
      tree: Experimentally the checking is now done *after* the main window is shown. This 
      task is sometimes a bit time-consuming depending on the state of the Windows file 
      cache. So now you can already see where you are while the hard work is going on.
    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability | Tooltip zoom (%): 
      Since 20220531, zoom was lost when switching between dark and light mode. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | Mouse Up on Folder Icons | Folder 
      contents preview: The font used in the file info tips in the contents menu was never 
      set to the font used in the parent control, nor did it honor tooltip zoom. Fixed.
