Autoplay video
Most changes in this release are browsing related. Especially users that use game videos and want to autoplay these videos while browsing the list should notice some performance improvements. But also without videos browsing the list should be a bit more enjoyable now. The way that autoplay video is configured now has also changed. In previous versions there have been "...Video"-options in the imageplacing configuration (Edit Rom Collection dialog / Browse Games tab). These are now replaced by two new options "Autoplay video (Main window)" and "Autoplay video (Info window)".
Filter controls
Filter control interaction has also been extended in this version. Filter controls are now updated from left to right: If you select a Console, all other controls (Genre, Year, Publisher) will only show entries that are available for this console (this feature was already present in previous version). If you select a Genre all controls right to the Genre filter (Year and Publisher) will only show entries that are available for the selected Console and Genre. And so on.
Note to Aeon MQ3 users: Support for the new features (especially the new way of using video files) should be available with next version 1.1.2 of the skin. It should be available shortly.
