I do prefer the message "WinNT/2k/XP/Vista/7 not supported!\n", As it run also on Windows 9x/Me.

If I support VESA 1.2 BS, DUGL will run under WindowsNT/XP and maybe on Vista/7.

Ok, I added "All supported Images", multi-filer, "*.jpg|*.png|*.bmp|*.gif|*.pcx"

Ok, replaced by the DUGL Player alt+S and searching not used screenshot file name.

Why ? ugly images ? not working ?

I don't see how it's complicated, but maybe it's not adapted to all needs.
for example if you choose "pic0005.jpg", he will search for all "pic*.jpg" on the same directory and then sort them.

I guess with those four modes we will fit most users needs.

The strange dotty rectangle is the Focus marker. I removed it, you are right :-)

Did the mouse-wheel scrolling worked for you ? at least correctly on "Fit Width" mode.
