Bugs

• Installer
  • Set screensaver for current user (rather than admin)
• Random Photo Screensaver
• Network drives/folders in folder treeview
• Still in the initial opening of Settings, I couldn't deselect/select the random timing option. I set min and max to 30s, but the checkbox wouldn't go away. When I closed settings, then opened again from Screensaver Options, the check was unselected.
• In the initial opening of Settings, I turned off the clock on both screens, but when running the preview (and subsequently opening the settings again) the clock was displayed on Monitor #2.
• The bug is back where 2 panoramic images show up (1 on each screen) when starting the screensaver, but then works normally in panorama mode for all subsequent images.
• Fix not loading of config.html
• Allow mouse movements for 1.5 seconds after closing config
• Add highlight back to config search
• Apply button for folder changes / apply changes when config screen closed
• Save hidden attributes
• Re-read database content (after changing hidden folder/file settings)
• Bug: Config won't be processed in 1 out of 5 Preview button clicks
• Run only one rps4.exe process
• Cache config settings in C# as playing videos causes DOM to be slow/not available
• Shortcut keys using ctrl/shift/alt when exit on keyboard is switched on
• Having to press Esc twice after showing and hiding config screen
• Hide/show mouse cursor Config screen
• Limit history ##,### entries to avoid potential out of memory crash
• Store settings from Screen saver Config (add Save button?)
• Fix single quotes in file/folder names
• Stretch small images
• Bugfix: avi movies stay stuck on screen
• Don't show images outside folder select (purge from DB?)
