· Drag files from the file list to the sorted directory
· Checkmark Move or copy the file
· Rename single files
· Prepend words to the names of a group of files
· Checkmark Especially useful for camera downloads. For example, prepend "soccer" to a group files creating soccerP00001.jpg from P00001.jpg
· Drag & Drop works with native file systems

Group Actions
· Rename camera files with thier date and time
· Checkmark Downloads from cameras are typically named something like P00001.jpg This will rename the file to something like 2003.12.27-18.09.16.jpg giving the exact date and time the picture was taken, formatted to sort correctly in file listings. Works by reading the time and date information recorded when the picture was taken.
· Dedup pictures within a directory or across directories
· Rename a group of files by appending a unique designator
· Checkmark Especially useful for internet downloads where the downloads can have the same names (for example 001.jpg). JIBS will generate a new unique name like 001zxy00001.jpg. The next 001.jpg you download would be renamed with a different number like 001zxy00045.jpg. So now when you drag and drop there won't be name clashes.

What's New in This Release:
· The paths in JibsTree.txt are now relative so if you move directories around and then do and then set the tree to the new location, you get a fast load. Also helps in certain dual boot situations.
· You can now print and preview from Thumbnails.
· The main screen does not come up until the loading screen goes away. In Linux, the main screen was coming up over the loading screen hiding it completely and causing confusion. Also, the user was able to get to the main screen and work with it which caused some problems.
· Files with umlauts on non-German installs did not show. Now they show, but you can not do anything with the file (like see the image). This is because of the way Java operates and can not be fixed except by Sun.
· The counts for tree statistics were not always accruate. After doing a reload, they would often be negative or just show the count for the nodes reloaded. Feature is now node based and you can get statistics for each node in the tree now.
· Sometimes when creating a new directory, the new directory would be created on the file system, but not reflected in the tree. Also, creating a new subdirectory when the subdirectories were not showing would not expand to show the new subdirectory. Code has been added to force to new subdirectory to scroll into view.
· When in the Thumbnail view, doing an Undo did not refresh the screen so you could see the results of the undo. Now it does.
· The Enter key stopped working. Its function (do the same move on the current picture) has been restored.
· Converted to GPL 3.0.
