Thanks to some alert users we were able to quickly correct some code that stopped the program at the startup screen.

I just get the spinning rainbow of doom upon trying to open the app. It does some sort of scanning and then just spins.
The previous version worked for me but needed improvement so I was excited about this update but it clearly has some issues.
Keep at it, developers! I think you've got a great idea. Once the kinks are worked out it'll be great. I wish other font managers had this categorizing feature.

This version is MUCH better than 1.5 in dealing with large numbers of fonts. It still takes a while to process them all, but it shows progress and doesn't lock up. Great!
What I really would like to see it do is to remember which fonts were activated between program launches. Right now, if I want to browse all of my fonts in the main browser window, I have to turn them all on first, which takes too long to just do casually. Ideally, the categorization functionality of this application would be integrated into a font manager like FAP.
