A big thanks to all the folks who have provided feedback on beta 1!

2. New: Added links to help file and PicsToBits web site/support forums in start menu group.
3. New: Added links to PicsToBits web site/support forums under Help menu.

6. New: Added "Always show drop menu" option to File>Preferences. When enabled, this will make left mouse drags the same as right mouse drags... i.e. a menu of the possible drop operations will be shown. Note the standard behavior is consistent with Windows Explorer (a drop menu is only shown when a file is dragged with right mouse).
7. Improved: Synchronize wizard text rewritten, hopefully the painful step of saving actions to a text file will be simpler to do.
8. Improved: Initial warning of duplicate actions shown in stay on top mode so it can not get lost under other windows.

13. Changed: Quicksync hotkey changed to Ctrl+U (think 'U'pdate).
14. Changed: Option to launch Photoshop at ActionDex start is now off by default. You can enable it via an option in File>Preferences.
