Looks like the next update is coming soon. Just checked out the website and there's some new info and features listed. I requested a lot of these features a few weeks back (although I'm sure everyone requested them). Glad to see the author is listening to his customers.
It looks like there'll be a visual interface, manual cropping, using zip files, different banners for different galleries on the full size image viewer, customizable thumb/image names, and more.
This is really going to kick things up a notch.
