January 17th, 2011· Added CopyMeta option. This option copies meta-data in the input images, to the output images. (i.e. Exif, Iptc, Xmp, and Jpeg Comments)

January 17th, 2011· Added an option for changing the auto-date folder.
· Corrected a bug that caused the "Advance Mode" of the Output Folder dialog, to be displayed by default. The "Basic Mode" is now displayed by default.
· Corrected a bug that prevented changing the home-folder. (This problem only occurs when the option is accessed in defaults mode.)
· Removed Windows-Installer-Loader from the QuickePics setup file. This reduces the setup file size by nearly three mega-bytes. (The Windows-Installer-Loader is required only for Win98, WinNT, and earlier Windows operating systems. Newer operating systems come with Windows-Installer pre-loaded. This change should not impact those still using Win98, WinNT, and earlier systems, because by now these machines should have the Windows installer already loaded. If you have questions, please contact Mission Peak product support.)

January 28th, 2010· Quick ePics is now Vista Compatible without virtualization or compatibility modes.
