What's new in this release

• The View menu now includes an Arrange By option, letting you choose how items are listed in the window (such as by name, date or size). This setting is maintained separately for images, movies and audio.
• An added option permits you to play movies in the AutoPreview panel by double-clicking a movie thumbnail rather than single-clicking.
• Movie thumbnails can now animate when the mouse hovers over them, displaying an in-place slideshow of frames from the movie to give an overview of the movie's content.
• A recent Movie Frame Grabber permits frames from movies to be captured as individual JPEGs or as a single animated GIF.
• A recent Audio Tag Editor permits the tags of multiple audio files to be edited at once.
• Browse Media has a variety of recent features and options:
• In Copy/Move to Folder, when filenames conflict during a copy or move operation, the prompt dialog now includes the option to copy/move the file giving it a unique name.
• In Batch Rename, collections of renaming settings is saved as named 'profiles' for easy reuse.
• ShellToys tools that play audio or video files (in Media Info, Play Media Album and Browse Media) now have smoother handling of DRM-protected files. Although protected files can't be played, these tools now either display an explanatory dialog or, if more appropriate to the tool, skip automatically to the next file in the sequence.
• When playing audio or video files in ShellToys (in Media Info, Play Media Album and Browse Media) the +/- keys on the numeric keypad is used to raise or lower the volume.
• Clipboard+ and AutoType now have Unicode support for clipboard text and filenames captured by Clipboard+, and for folder names, captions and text in AutoType.
• You can now choose the action to be taken for the Copy Path utility via an option on the Menu & Tool Options page of the ShellToys Control Panel. This replaces the old 'Always show dialog for Copy Path' option.
• In Synchronize Folder, each item to be synchronized now has a Properties dialog giving details of the file being added or deleted, or comparing details of the two files involved in a 'replace' action.
• In Windows Vista, an option on the Menu & Tool Options page of the ShellToys Control Panel permits icons to be shown beside any ShellToys tools that have been moved to the main context menu.
• In Windows Vista with Aero enabled, the ShellToys context menus are now drawn in native Windows style.
• NEW Drag-and-drop taskbar buttons option for Windows Vista/XP permits the order of taskbar buttons to be rearranged by dragging and dropping them into different positions. Taskbar buttons can as well be hidden by dragging them off the taskbar.
• NEW Preview utility for Windows Vista provides a more flexible alternative to the awkward Preview Pane in Explorer windows. Preview opens in a separate window, but uses the same Vista previewing features as well as allowing a greater number of file types to be previewed.

· Bookmarks are now listed on a menu, rather than a tab behind the Folders panel, to make bookmarks more accessible. ...
