We are thrilled to unveil version 14.52 of our TIFF Viewer Core and Chrome/Edge extension. Packed with enhancements based on your feedback, this release takes user experience and productivity to new heights.

TIFF Viewer Core:

• Improved Control Environment: The TIFF Viewer Core now seamlessly determines the Downloads Folder and ensures reliable document openings, even in highly restricted environments controlled by Group Policy.
• Streamlined Installation: The latest version automatically installs to the User Default browser if it's Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, eliminating unnecessary steps.
• Enhanced Downloads Folder Handling: We've fine-tuned the Core to locate the Edge/Chrome Downloads Folder configured through Group Policy. It can also handle cases where User Edge/Chrome Downloads Folder is redirected to another directory.
• Intelligent Folder Location Detection: In situations where the AppData folder accessibility is limited, the TIFF Viewer Core will intelligently retrieve the Downloads Folder location from the base Configuration XML file in the Program Files directory.
• Improved File Handling: Our improved TIFF Viewer Core now has better handling of filenames with special characters like "#".

Better and Faster:

• Improved Navigation: Enjoy quicker page navigation with keyboard shortcuts, saving you time when working with multi-page documents.
• Search Progress Cancelation: We've added a new feature that allows you to cancel search progress, especially beneficial when dealing with large files.

User-Friendly Interface:

• Versatile User Interface: Our interface has undergone significant improvements, making it more adaptable and user-friendly.
• Thumbnail Sidebar Enhancements: The thumbnail sidebar now adjusts to fit the available space, providing a more seamless browsing experience.
• Shortcut Enhancements: We've introduced convenient keyboard shortcuts for Thumbnail View, enabling quick page scrolling using Page Up and Page Down keys.
• Instant Document Information Access: Easily access vital document information with the
  Ctrl + D shortcut, which is ideal for PDF documents.

Simplified Download:

• Effortless Document Retrieval: Our TIFF Viewer Chrome/Edge extension now features a simplified download option. It seamlessly downloads documents from the original URL without any user prompts, ensuring a seamless experience.

Smoother Installation and Updates:

• Intelligent Startup Process: We've optimized the startup process to switch to Google Chrome if it's the default browser or Edge browser is not installed, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
• Streamlined Updates: Updating to the latest version is now a breeze, even if the "View PDF documents in Tiff Viewer Core Web App" option is enabled.
