Re: FreeShow - presentations

Re: Photo Resizer Expert (4dots)

Re: MPad - powerful and efficient text editor

It occurs for me if I add a link to the windows sendto folder, then right click a file and send to MPad. Access violation everytime. I did inform the author, but he couldn't replicate it, so not sure. Same on both my PC and laptop.
