All my sites have moved from the ultra-cheap and slow dreamhost account to a new and not-cheap account on Host Gator. Everything should now be up and running properly, plus faster and more reliable.
There are a few changes done for the next version of the program, but nothing worth pushing out yet since it’s mostly internal work in preparation for a planned new feature.
I’ve also added a quick check of the current version against the latest on the sourceforge website, so you’ll be notified as soon as a new version is available (assuming that you use it regularly). It’s just a shame I hadn’t done it before 0.6.9, which still gets downloaded hundreds of times more then the latest version every single freaking day.
Just a question… Since switching from Windows ’98 to XP, I can no longer get the right-click `Auto’ copy to clipboard’ function? I have to go to batch conversion, and there the top entry — above Valid Characters — comes up with a blank space. Okay, now — it’s been a while since I’ve tried it — it just seems like it crashes on me with the following message:

It was lost when I ported it to .net 2.0 because right-click menus aren’t supported by those buttons (and it wasn’t good gui practices to have hidden functions like that anyway). I’ll add an “Edit/Copy ramp” or something to the menu.
The batch conversion form one works for me without crashing, and I must have deleted that labels string from the resources by accident. I never do batch conversions so I miss this stuff.
