• Problems with Context Menu Items: Windows Explorer context menu items may not appear for some image files (.png, .bmp, .gif, .jpg) when you've set a "user preference override" for that file type. This is, when you right clicked an image type, then "Open With", then "Choose default program..." and chosen some program to always open the selected image type.
  This not only affects icomancer, but every application that sets Shell Context Menu entries in the Windows Registry for certain file types.
  We're trying to go over this issue, but it ain't easy :(

• PNG/GIF transparency shows as black: Having problem with PNG/GIF transparency on portraits? It's been a real headache for us. We've been dealing with this since we've discovered it a fue days ago and we couldn't find a solution as of icomancer v1.1. Please read this forum thread with full information on what the problem is and, until we fix it, try not to use PNGs/GIFs with transparent background as portraits.
  By the way: this issue is not present with JPEG/BMP files or PNG/GIF without transparency.
