### Preferences

- Added two new options for paired folders:

- Added **File Displays / Navigation / Cancel without warning when navigating away** option. If turned on, NavLock mode will be automatically cancelled without showing an "out-of-sync" warning when you navigate to a location that's not below the base folder (and that doesn't have a paired folder).

- Columns for music Track and Disc numbers can now have totals and zero padding turned off ( **File Display Columns / Options** ). The metadata panel still displays the tags as they are in the original file, so you can still edit those details.

- Added optional sound for dropping files on a toolbar button.

### Commands

- Added `Select SAVE` and `Select RESTORE` commands.

- Added `nosound` and `noflash` switches to `Clipboard SCREENSHOT` command.

### Evaluator

- Changes to evaluator `Resolve()` function with the "a" flag:
  - now handles aliases that point to other aliases better (will return the most specific alias)
  - new "e" flag makes it only return an alias that exactly matches the folder, rather than appending the remainder of the path to the closest match
  - new "f" flag makes it return false if the path can't be resolved to an alias (otherwise the original path is returned)

### Fixes

- The option to preserve group expansion state on refresh now really works in stored queries
- Scripting: Fixed `Control.AddText `with anchor="bm" aligning to the bottom-right instead of bottom-middle.
- Scripting: `DOpus.GetListers("c")` now filters out listers on other desktops, instead of ignoring the argument.
- Theme backups are now included in config backups.
- Fixed SmartFavorites not refreshing if placed directly on a toolbar (i.e. not in a menu).
- SmartFavorites now excludes special folders like This PC and the virtual desktop. These were not displayed in the menu correctly before, and rarely make sense to add to the list, since the default toolbars provide more direct ways to navigate to them.
- Fixed some SmartFavorites Preferences not properly saving.
- Improved hotkeys in three button tooltips
- Fixed evaluator `FileCount()` function giving inconsistent results when used in context menus.
