Version 3.1

10 November 2008
New in this version:
  • The possibility to specify multiple image folders.
  • If you don't want small images stretched, there is now an option to randomise their position on the screen, to provide more variations.
  • The folder information in the bottom corner (Number of files and folders found) can now be hidden.
