Apologies, all around. Some of the people who downloaded either of the last two betas were newcomers, some were upgrading. I'm sure all got left with a bad taste in the mouth. Not something I'd like to be remembered for.
I had been testing new releases against the preferences I use on a day to day basis, and didn't design some of the new features to be clever enough to handle the first-time user.
This release should work with existing preferences and new preferences on Tiger and Panther (I've run through various scenarios on my PowerBook and iMac with new and old prefs). I'm looking at PreFab Software's UI Browser software as a functional testing tool. With a little work, I think it has great potential for helping me avoid this kind of embarrassing situation in the future.
I suspect once I get this to a relatively stable point (hopefully this is it), I'll probably make far less frequent public releases. I'll keep updating the mailing list, though, and try to have a bit more constrained development flux.
I have to change all the suffixes to keep my UNIX server and brain happy.

Having used it for a few months now, I would like to suggest a couple of features:
1. I keep Thumbscrew running in the Dock and I drag images from the Finder and drop them on the Dock icon; the Thumbscrew window appears and the images are thumbnailed and the window remains there and I have to manually dismiss it. How about making the window hide after it's finished (or perhaps make it a perference as some may prefer for the window to remain up).
2. I would like 0 degrees rotation to be a valid option. There are some images (e.g. screen-shots for comparative purposes displayed side-by-side) that I would prefer to be un-rotated.

This is a real shame!
