Release History

16. June 2010		viu2.0.0.875.beta.rar Windows shortcut file support was added to Viu 2. Viu 2 will try to open the target folder or picture file when the user double-clicks on a .lnk file.
15. June 2010		viu2.0.0.871.beta.rar Viu 2 now supports creating file type associations under Windows Vista/7. All file icons were also remaked.
24. May 2010		viu2.0.0.848.beta.rar Bug fixed by exporting pictures with copying Exif. The orientation of the exorted picture is now correct.
21. May 2010		viu2.0.0.847.beta.rar This release removes the error message which appears occasionally by exiting Viu 2 or changing directory (especially under Windows 7).
06. May 2010		viu2.0.0.844.beta.rar JPG files are now displayed rotated according to its Exif data. However, This change may cause mis-rotation of some JPG files which were rotated using earlier version of Viu 2 because Viu 2 didn't update their orientation information by the rotation. In this case, the orientation can be corrected by rotating the picture again using Viu 2.
