Version 9.1

New Features

• All files can now be removed from a wallpaper list at once.
• New program option color codes the wallpaper list based on each item’s status in the random file selection pool. If a file is in the random file pool, it is shown in green text. If the file is not in the pool, red text is used.

• The user is now alerted if a missing file is set as the desktop wallpaper.

• Access key mappings added to the list control context menu.
• Several 16-color toolbar buttons cleaned up considerably.

Version 8.0

New Features

• Random wallpaper file selection is now handled as "random selection without replacement", evenly distributing the frequency that various files are shown.
• Program now implements CListView, allowing for program resizing.
• New toolbar provides quick access to commonly used program actions.

• A new program action allows files to be added from a folder and all of its sub-folders.
• A browse button has been added to the "Set Path" dialog.
• New HTML help has been implemented.

Bug Fixes

• Unchecking the "snap window" option now really turns the window snapping feature off.
• Sorting count data now works properly. I was mistakenly sorting the values as text rather than numbers, which caused values like 10 or 100 to appear before 1(which is clearly incorrect).

• The option for changing all relevant path entries in the "Set Path" dialog is now saved.
• The default buttons when recycling a wallpaper file or when resetting all wallpaper count data have been changed from "Yes" to "No". This will prevent accidental data changes or loss.
