Added Application Key Support for the Backblaze Plugin
The Backblaze plugin now supports application keys, including keys with restricted permissions. Previously, an application key could be accepted during connection setup but fail when retrieving the bucket list.
You can now use either a master key or an application key with the Backblaze plugin. An application key must have the permissions required to access the selected buckets and perform the backup.

Corrected FTP Connection Testing
The FTP connection test now correctly reports unsuccessful connection attempts. Previously, the test could display a success message even when incorrect connection details were entered. This fix makes it easier to check FTP settings and identify connection problems when using Handy Backup as FTP Backup Software.
Fixed File Backup Issues Related to Symbolic Links
Fixed an issue with symbolic link handling that could cause some folders to appear empty during data selection and backup. In affected tasks, Handy Backup could create folders in the backup destination without copying the files they contained.
Version 8.7.4 corrects this behavior so that files in affected folders are detected and included in the backup.
Fixed Saving of Program Settings
The new version fixes an issue that could prevent changes to program settings from being saved after clicking OK or Apply. Affected options included temporary folder settings, proxy settings, client preferences, log colors and fonts, confirmation options, and update settings.
The fix also addresses creating groups and editing group names. Changes are now saved correctly and remain in place when you reopen the settings.
