I find I keep having to go back to version 2.6.4 The 'new' features and interface make what was once a simple easy program to use more frustrating and difficult. I have left feedback about these issues over a year ago and it keeps getting worse. ie. try renaming a folder of images from name.jpg to name-th.jpg with the new version. It won't work. Was simple with the old one. Default views for slideshows can not be set and each time you want to do a quick presentation, you have to set all the resize options instead of it remembering the last setting you used. The old version still does this. I can no longer use this program in my school since it is becoming too confusing and frustrating for my students and even myself. I will use it for HTML galleries which I hope they don't try to also 'improve' I can no longer recomment this application for educators. I have tried to create a forum account on their site and am still waiting for the activation email. Fo the price, I expect a program to be getting better and easier to use, not the opposite.
