  This release changes the way favorites are saved and loaded in order to prevent an error message if the favorites saving is interrupted (for example by shutting down the computer while QAP is saving its favorites). This situation will now be handled in a more user friendly way. This release should also solve an old screen scaling issue. Please, test various screen scaling and check the button centering in dialog boxes like "Tools, Manage Hotkeys" or "Help, Show Startup Tips and Tricks".
  
  Version BETA: 11.5.2.1.1 (2021-11-21)
  
  Settings file (quickaccesspopup.ini)
  - prevent the error message "An error occurred while reading this settings file" displayed when QAP tries to load incomplete settings incomplete settings files (for main menu and shared menus)
  - instead, QAP will revert to the previous favorites list and inform the user that the last saving was incomplete
    (technical notes: this is done when saving favorites in a temporary section of the ini file named [Favorites-New] and remane it [Favorites] if all favorites has been saved; when loading favorites, if the section [Favorites-New] exists, it means that the saving was interrupted, then QAP renames the [Favorites-Backup] section to [Favorites] and informs the user)
  - now make an internal backup of the [Favorites] section to [Favorites-Backup] even when [Favorites] section is larger than 65532 chars (bypass an AHK/Windows limitation by renaming section name instead of copying the section)
  
  Various bug fixes and improvements
  - add an option under "Various Advanced Options" to keep file extension when setting the "Short name" for a Document or an Application favorite
  - in some dialog boxes, adapt button centering for screens with scaling (under Windows 10 Settings, Ease of Access, Display)
  - fix bug when user variable content includes an equal (=) sign
  - fix a bug preventing loading of a new language file when language is changed immediately after installation
  - addition of Russian language to setup file
  - when in Windows Dark mode, use the same black as Windows menus for QAP Customize window
  - new JLicons.dll file v1.6.2 including icons for a new project to be announced (user of the portable version must replace the previous JLicons.dll file)
  
  Version BETA: 11.5.2.1.2 (2021-11-24)
  
  - expand environment variables (like %windir%) in favorites parameters; add ini value ExpandEnvVarsInParameters to disable expansion if required
  - fix bug in Customize window showing bold text (labels and listview) by error in dark mode
  - new JLicons.dll file v1.6.3 fixing a missing icon in the previous version (user of the portable version must replace the previous JLicons.dll file)
  - Russian translation file update

  All 1st level of all Live folder favorites have a strange icon.

  Oops! This is an error in the latest JLicons.dll file included in the latest beta release. An image was missing and the icons file builder tool I used replaced it with this weird cat image! I'll fix it in the next release.
  
  Thanks for reporting it.
