Just shows a few images before/after current).Rename current image function (pro: with custom renaming templates).Thumbnail preview in quick navigation slider (for Vista and Win7 only).Native x64 versions with identical functionality including MTP/PTP tethering support.
First glimpse at v2.0: Windows 7 (or later) only: the program will be rebuilt to use Win7 native technologies such as Direct3D 10/11, Direct2D and DirectWrite. It will perhaps run on Vista too. A new "tiled" display engine will be developed, to circumvent driver or graphic card size limitations and allow much larger images in video memory than today. The "classic", non-GPU display mode will be dropped and the program will operate only in hardware-accelerated mode, on a broader range of configurations than today. The spirit and overall look and feel of the program should stay more or less the same: it can be seen as a native, Windows 7 -specific version taking full advantage of the technology improvements introduced this new platform for even greater speed. ETA: late 2010 - early 2011 in some preliminary form; v1.x will be maintained at least until v2.0 ships in final form.
