Fixes:
We have optimized startup time for large catalogs and general performance optimization for large catalogs.
Undocking the video thumbnail window would lead to all thumbnails being scaled to a minimum size.

Assign to bin from the context menu. Now select the assigned bin as the current one.
Adjusting the thumbnail window height when using the "fit" scale will now update the scale.

Fixed several rare crashes from crash reports.
Updated the Avalon Dock framework to get all the latest bug fixes from there.
Fast Video Cataloger 8.05¶
Improved performance for catalogs with lots of extended properties ( you should notice a performance improvement when switching videos if your catalog has more than 1000 extended properties).
Added new option when auto assigning keywords from filename, the new option will only consider text inside brackets as keywords, i.e. [this text] or {this text}.
Add new sample scripts.
If you used a hotkey that was a plain key (i.e. no ALT/Shift/CTRL) and had keyword focused in the script console window the shortcut action was still executed. Now the character is written to the text window.
When updating multiple keywords in the keywords manager to set color, the first keywords text also got updated.
Metadata is now also written when multi-selecting videos.
If metadata writing fails because a file is locked by a program Fast video cataloger will keep trying. (this typically failed because the video was playing in the internal or an external video player).

Added support for dropping a text file with keywords on the keyword dialog.
We fixed a bug where the render time settings in the add video dialog were ignored.
We fixed a bug with XML playlist export where one of the time formats was set wrong (this could lead to import errors in some video editing software).
