Yeah, I forgot about the additional right-click option for the Apply button. I do know about it beforehand because I read about it in your earlier post where you put the link for the latest test version too. In fact I even tried to right-click it before and I saw the default checked checkboxes. And so, I now re-created my desired profile similar to the one I have in my 7Z above, I ticked/unticked the checkboxes and left behind an empty SimpleTag for every Target as you have hinted, and then I had some quite interesting results, or perhaps even say somewhat irregular results. I can't explain really, I'll just keep playing with it. Thanks for this!

And maybe it is just me, since a little far back I overlooked the yellow fave button and the blue clapper play button after all. Though the other Users might overlook the hidden right-click options in the Apply button too themselves, even though such is already declared in writing (such as in this thread, perhaps in the upcoming change_xxx.txt too) and of course the hint at the status bar. Is the Apply button so far the only button which have a hidden right-click option in cE? I think it's the first ever in cE.

It's quite uncommon for programs to have extra options by right-clicking the buttons. One app I know that uses such functionality almost in every of its buttons is the LightAlloy media player. So perhaps a future, simple update to the green icon of the Apply button? Perhaps a small, top-view mouse icon placed at the top-right of the current Apply icon (with the mouse's right button colored differently, say if the mouse icon is grayish then the right button is reddish, or maybe just a small, simple down arrow).

Speaking of icons, I remember very far back (I think I used the very first released version of cE before the major GUI overhaul) that cE was (still is) one of the most icon-heavy apps I use. Back then I also used Opera (of defunct Presto engine) as long as I could after it got abandoned, and then Firefox which both used colorful icons in their older versions. Love the icons BTW.
