Version 1.2 (13/09/2010)
Major changes for this version include several Windows 7 specific features, such as per-tab taskbar thumbnails, and a 'New Tab' jump list task. As with the previous version, there have also been some significant improvements to drag & drop. These improvements include both a wide range of bug fixes, as well as some new functionality. One example of this new functionality is the ability to copy and paste/drag & drop text and images into Explorer++ directly.
New features:

Taskbar thumbnails are now shown for each tab in Windows 7 (this can be turned on/off by toggling Show taskbar thumbnails in the Options dialog).

-
Numerous improvements to drag and drop/copy and paste.
-
Text on the clipboard can now be pasted as a file. The file will be given a name of the form:
Clipboard Text ([datetime]).txt
This also applies to drag and drop. -
Images on the clipboard can now be pasted as a file. The file will be given a name of the form:
Clipboard Image ([datetime]).bmp
This also applies to drag and drop. -
The contents of the address bar can now be dragged and dropped.

Large toolbar icons added.
