• Adding a station to the favorite station list would not save the new favorite item after restarting the player.
• Long Path text in the media library and file browsing fullscreen interfaces would cause the text to overlay the selected item count and icon.
• Renaming a file in the media library or file browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces would cause the some of the playlist navigation interface icons to appear in the wrong size.
• Renaming a file using one of the fullscreen navigation interfaces would not rename the playlist entry for that file.
• Clicking in an empty space under or above a file entry’s icon in the playlist, media library and file browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces no longer selects the last entry in the list.
• Clicking in an empty space under or above an entry in all fullscreen navigation interface would wrongly interpret the click as if it was on the first or last entry in the list, leading to accidental actions.
• Switching to fullscreen with the Zoom Player window in a maximized state would lose the window’s maximized state upon exiting fullscreen mode.
• Hovering with the mouse cursor over a timeline area containing a chapter/bookmark would cause the hint window containing the bookmark name and position to flicker if the hint window would appear on the edge of the active screen.
• Setting the mouse’s middle-click (mouse wheel click) to reset DirectShow Zooming, instead of resetting, the maximum zoom value was applied.
• Opening a folder through several means (drag & drop for example) would not always respect the “Opening a drive or directory includes opening image files” setting.
• Rotating the screen/tablet now hides the date & time display from the navigation interfaces (previously they would overlap due to the lack of space).
• Category names would overlap the right-side icons in the fullscreen media library navigation interface.
• Clicking the left/right edges of a fullscreen navigation interface to navigate left/right now works again.
