FD 2.9 is almost there

As part of my FD1.9 upgrade process having installed FD 2.5, .6, .8 and now .9 this release fixes a lot of the problems in the previous releases. It has recovered all of my folders from 1.9 (including the cell pointing back to the parent ) of which none were convert with the previous updates, fixed getting the FD root page on start up and last tab, provides the ability to open the selected cell in the current tab, Add to Fast dial now in the tab context menu (wasn't on mine previously) and probably some more that I haven't discovered yet.
Several things that I've noticed so far. 1. When the 1.9 folders were recovered there were a few cells that were duplicated on the root folder. Not a major problem as they were easily removed. 2. The cell that contains the pointer back to the parent folder now has a thumbnail of the parent cell which is a nice feature, but the thumbnail gets resized to a much smaller and barely visible image (about 1/4 of the cell size) if the cell is updated (the title text in my case). The background also appears to get resized which if it contains a pattern doesn't match the rest of the background 3. The Properties window is a bit too small cutting off some of the buttons on the bottom. 4. Apply to all Folders not working
Great job, other than these few minor problems this release is very close to working really nice.
