KNOWN ISSUES
============
1. Performance can be affected when viewing folders with large numbers of images being displayed in one of the thumbnail modes. The performance hit, if any, is affected by the number of files as well as the size and quality of the thumbnails. If noticable delays occur in displaying the thumbnails, increase the memory available to the application or decrease the size and quality of the thumbnail.
2. When printing thumbnails, especially at the larger sizes, it is recommended that you keep the number of images in a folder to less than 500. A bug in the printing process may cause two images to be printed on top of each other if there are too many thumbnails. While very artistic it is probably not what you want.
3. The print preview section does not display landscape mode correctly. This does not affect the final printout.
4. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of Apple QuickTime. The latest release adds MP3 playback and additional image import and export formats.
5. Search results are limited to the first 1000 files which meet the search criteria.
6. Not all AVI formats are supported.
7. Some MP3 files contain additional data which makes them unplayable in our application.
