Fixed
Screenshots alpha blend was disabled
Crash when scanning ZiNc and Daphne games lists
Games with multiple controls were not being properly filtered when using "Control Type" filters (main menu "Games Filters")
Changed
Files renamed/moved:
-> from "ini_filesfavoritesdefault.ico" to " esourcesmain_iconsfavorite_user.ico"
-> from " esources ray_iconsel_icon1.ico" to " esourcesmain_icons rayicon.ico"
Improved
"Bad Dump" / "No Dump" info in scan results screen for each ROM/CHD
Display screenshots is a lot faster
The "no snaphshot" image is shown only when the first screenshot is missing. When using previous/next buttons, if screenshot is not found, the last one loaded is not removed
Hint for previous/next screenshot buttons
Even more source code cleanup and optimizations
Removed
URL label link on top of game documents window/panel
Files deleted:
-> Folder: " esourcesmain_icons"
"leftpanel_root.ico"
Folder and all its files " esources ray_icons" deleted
New MAME snaps filename format. Only the old "fullgamename0000.ext" is supported from now on (use the new "Convert Snapshots" feature to avoid renaming all files manually)
Icon files from favorites feature. No more custom favorites icons
Added
Multi-screenshots layouts!!!!!!!!!
View up to 3 screenshots at the same time
-> Features:
- set what image types to use for each layout using the "Customize" menu item in the new "layouts" tool bar button

New Delphi component, "RichEditURL". URL detection is within the game document text now
No HTML tags support though
New setting: "Set All Games as Available (Scan Games)" (preferences screen) See the help button next to this setting for more info...
New feature: "convert snapshots from MAME to EL format" (main menu "Images")
Use this to convert all your "gamename000.png" snapshots to "fullgamename0000.png"
Added the "Screen Resolution" column back (1st screen only). You need to re-create your games lists again. I will not add refresh rate though
Warning: you must delete all your games lists and columns profiles before using this new build if you are upgrading from v5.3 or EL will crash!
New button in screenshots tool bar to resize its area so only description column is visible
Driver "m52.c" into the "Irem Old School" filter for "Moon Patrol" game
