# FILE MANAGER
* Improved information reported by PeaLauncher, when applicable total and selected size of extraction operation reported separately
* Improved indication of progress during long operation
    - if an operation exceeds 0.5 seconds it is shown a (simil)marquee progress bar
    - if an operation exceeds 0.5 seconds the refresh button is changed in stop button, allowing to stop current operation
        ^ to prevent loss of time and user's focus a fresh instance of PeaZip is started in the last directory while the old instance is handled in background
* Added PanelIntro, usually not visible due to the speed of a normal startup
    - if startup of the program is slowed for any reason user is informed about loading progress (0 inital form status 1 configuration and theming files loaded 2 input parameters parsed and executed)
    - controls cannot be clicked for error until GUI is fully loaded and ready to accept user's input
    - some controls load faster as they aren't visible
* Improved file browser
    - Tighter integration with extraction interface
        ^ New toolbar button on the right of "Extract", featuring a menu for
            > direct extraction of the whole archive (or selected archives) to most commonly used locations
            > check and modify most common extraction settings
        ^ New keyboard shortcuts available bot in browser and in extraction interfaces for "Extract all to..." (Ctrl+E or F12), "Extract all here" (Ctrl+Alt+E), "Extract all to Desktop" (Ctrl+Shift+E), "Extract all to Documents" (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E); Ctrl+1..8 extract to bookmark's 1..8 path (if defined); Ctrl+9 extract to default output path (if defined).
* Extraction from context menu made context sensitive, if no archive is selected the extract/test entries are disabled
* Added small icons mode for file browser
* Changed Toolbar modes: 3 with large and 3 with small icons (text below, text on the right, no text), and text only mode
* Toolbar is now set to large mode by default for better readability of main program's function
* Remapped function keys:
    - Ctrl+* shortcuts for status bar types remapped to Ctrl+Alt+*
    - Ctrl+F9 create keyfile
    - F12 extract all to...
* Apps moved to a separate modal form, reachable in Organize menu
* Theme moved to a separate form, reachable in Options menu
* (Windows) Configure system integration entry now reachable in Options menu
* Default language file now changed to default.txt, that can be overwritten (i.e. by hand, or by custom installers or configuration script) to start by default the application in a non-Englih language; resetting the application will then result to swicth back to the language chosen for default.txt
* Rationalized themes moving some common decoration elements from separate bitmaps to non-themed graphic resources of the executable
* Various minor fixes and improvements

# 124 file extensions supported
* added .fla; use Open with... > Open as archive to open, as for other non-archive types (supported formats not originally meant to be used as classic archives)
