The new update is out for Store version, Portable and ClickOnce. Please read all changes carefully to know if you want to update.
This update address some issues and requested functionality:

• New licensing system
  Portable version and ClickOnce don’t have premium features for free anymore since now it is on par with Store version. If you update you will get new functionality but loose some premium features that you used to get without the license (license is $5 for single machine). ClickOnce version will not auto update to this paid version so you can have the choice, but there is no support for old version. It uses new new paypal purchasing system. It is still manual, where you need to send anonimized hardware ID (my pressing on key icon), pay on paypal, and receive activation code via email. It should be robust enough that it won’t deactivate if you change a graphic card or disk. This one is per machine basis, so Microsoft Store version is still preferred: smoother purchasing process and it works with up to 8 computers with one license (you need to be logged in with same user account). The license is not transferable between Microsoft Store version and the Portable/ClickOnce versions to respect the Microsoft Store policy.
• Added PDF, AI Thumbnail and Preview reader
  Adobe has dropped support for thumbnails, so instead of asking you to install Foxit, this version has built in thumbnail handler for PDF and AI. It also supports preview for these without using ActiveX. Future update will make the thumbnails less aliased.
• Added support for QuickLook (enable in Settings)
  If you have QuickLook and prefer it over built-in preview, you will be able to turn it on in settings. You will need non-store version of the QuickLook for it to work.
• New folder change monitor (enable in Experimental Settings)
  Some computers have issues with reporting changes in folder, forcing you to F5 refresh to see changes. This will use new system for monitoring for changes, but note that the browsing folder will be delayed by 0.3 seconds while the watcher initializes on folder change. This needs to be enabled manually in settings.
• Improved directory monitor – Radar
  This one uses the previously mentioned new folder change monitor. You can also let it report on deleted files, which previous one could not, and it also can monitor network folders.
• Drag Folders from Columns implemented
  You can now draw folders from the Columns to copy/move them
• Click twice to rename
  This should behave like the Windows File manager: If you double-click file it will open it, but if you click file twice, slower and don’t move mouse much it will initiate rename.
• Now saving settings in C:\Users\YourName\ to prevent issues with permissions
  Store version has it by default. Windows Store manages program settings and it sometimes prevents programs writing in their own Appdata (weird redirecting going on), especially after a Windows Update, so we have to save settings outside of Appdata folder. The Portable/ClickOnce version will save in program folder if there is access to it, otherwise it saves to Users/Yourname folder.
• Fixed saving window state and position between sessions and fixed Minimize to Tray
  Now all the issues with multimonitor window position state and size should be saved correctly. If not, share what setup you have and I’ll try to reproduce the issue
• Other bugfixes
  – Fixed MiddleMouseButton selection rectangle
  – Fixed drag taking 2 items
  – Fixed High Contrast, GIF preview loop, F2/Rename on multiple items… and more
  – Open multiple items at a time
  – Thumbnail Blacklist for some filetypes
  If you don’t like thumbnails for mp3 files or something else, you can add it to the list and program will not generate thumbnail
  … and more.

I have also started working on Version 3, which may get a different name if it gets very different, but since both will share part of the code base, both will be supported. If you have free-to-give suggestions please share, no matter if you have weird ones. I consider it a blank slate, and the new version should try new concepts for file management instead of imitating functionality or look from any existing software. There is no timeline for it yet, and it is not a high -priority project, but I will share concepts on personal Twitter (@milosparipovic) when there is something to show.

As usual, I can be reached on support at ThisProgram’sName.com if you prefer it over the Google Groups.
