--------------

- **sIBL_GUI** has now an Internal Images Previewer: You can quickly check your Ibl Sets images by right-clicking the **Database Browser** and use one of the new **Preview ...** context menu entry. It's also possible to use an External Viewer / Editor by assigning it in the Preferences. Picturenaut is obviously the way to go: http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/index.html.
- Refactored the way Third Party Images formats are loaded by using direct memory access and custom FreeImage library build: Third Party Images loading is now 10 to 20 times faster.
- Implemented Ibl Sets database display name edition: Double click an Ibl Set in the **Database Browser** Component to edit it's display name.
- **-r / --databaseReadOnly** command line parameter properly disable **Database Browser**, **Collections Outliner** and **Templates Outliner** Components drag'n'drop capabilities and **Collections Outliner** Component editing capabilities.

- Fixed a potential application crash when dragging multiples Ibl Sets from a Collection to another on Mac Os X.
- Worker Threads are properly terminated on application exit.
- Switched Darwin Installer to DropDmg application: Dmg icons are laid out correctly now.

--------------

- **sIBL_GUI** for Windows now is natively built on Windows 7, this should Fixed the slow startup issues reported on Windows Vista / 7.
- Implemented drag'n'drop in various Components (Network paths are currently not supported on Windows Vista / 7):

- **Database Browser** Component: You can drag'n'drop Ibl Sets folders or Ibl Sets files directly from the Os.
- **Collections Outliner** Component: You can also drag'n'drop folders or Ibl Sets files directly from the Os.
- **Templates Outliner** Component: You can drag'n'drop Templates folders or Templates files directly from the Os.

- Made the code stronger when **sIBL_GUI** deals with corrupted Ibl / Templates Files.
- Refactored portions of the exceptions handling code.

--------------

- Standard Output and Standard Errors messages are redirected to the Logging Window.
- **sIBL_GUI** creates one session per thread for SQLite database access thus increasing application stability.
- Thumbnails size preference is restored on application start.
- Each Component has its own section in the preferences file, resulting in a better and stronger file structure. (You will will need to reconfigure Components preferences).
- Session geometry is always restored on application start ignoring the state of the **Restore Geometry On Layout Change** preferences option.
- Fixed **Sets Scanner** Component regular expressions, it can now process paths with non alphanumerical characters (**C:/Program Files (x86)/**).
- Fixed walkers arguments regular expressions so that they search for correct files extensions.
- Added **-o / --loaderScriptsOutputDirectory** command line parameter allowing user to specify loader scripts output directory.
- Added **-r / --databaseReadOnly** command line parameter that disable database edition methods.
- Added **-d / --databaseDirectory** command line parameter allowing user to specify the database directory.
- Added **-u / --userApplicationDataDirectory** command line parameter allowing user to specify application data directory (Preferences directory).

--------------

- Session layout state is now stored and restored on application start and exit. If you had a previous **sIBL_GUI** 3 installation, you may encounter two issues:

- The first time you launch **sIBL_GUI** 3.0.6, the application window will be empty, simply click one of the main toolbar layouts. This is happening because if not absolutely needed I would like to avoid Implementeding compatibility code.
- Your settings file will be a bit messy and missing some attributes. This will not prevent **sIBL_GUI** running properly. *It's however advised to remove it!* If you need to preserve some customs layouts, backup your original settings file, and merge them into the new one. Don't hesitate to contact me if you are encountering difficulties while doing the merge.

- Moved Templates and Ibl Sets scanners to separate threads for increased performances.
- Added support for command line parameters.
- Fixed a regression with **Lights|DynamicLights** attribute export.
- Binded FreeImage C/C++ imaging library, **sIBL_GUI** can now manipulate and access a lot more image formats.
- Application walker is now skipping Mac Os X **._** files.
