[EDIT] New Beta version is available fixing language problems and some other issues:
http://forum.openelement.com/en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1020&PID=4842

A number of improvements were made, as well as a number of fixes and memory optimisations.
The performance of certain operations is improved.
The problem with creating new projects using templates is fixed.
Interface is visually reworked and optimized.
Interface language problems are fixed.
Installer issues are fixed.
(The full list of months of fixes and improvements would have been too long to put here)

Fixes compared to 1.57.2: OE freezing on Alt or F10, OE freezing on editing Code Blocks (in some situations), several minor improvements.

Please make backups of your projects and elements and don't break online websites without possibility to restore their current version.
When installing, make sure to use the option Keep older versions, rather than Delete older versions selected by default.

Thanks in advance for your tests.

Have a nice day
openElement team

Hi. Great program and thanks for making this available. Have used the beta version 1 but will update to this one.

.upd are not images but "flag" files containing just a timestamp, the presence of this file tells that the corresponding project file was UPDated and needs to be uploaded in Differential mode next time.

Did you transfer your project folder from another machine at some point?

You can try to find the "denied" folder, right-click and chech whether Windows marks it as blocked. Also, check that no images in this folder are open in another software (Photoshop etc.). Sometimes, restarting Windows may help; Windows has a nice habit of randomly blocking folders "just like that", causing OE and its users (and us) a certain headache

The official openElement version (the link "DOWNLOAD" on the top of the forum) is 1.57R3 from now on. We do not "advertise" it as there may still be issues (one is known, happens if you detach the Code Block Editor window and add new Blocks in it - OE freezes; if it happens to you please contact me for a temporary patch).
