Just upgraded and I noticed that the FARR window background flashes black before it displays the content (which has a white background) for the first time.  It's a trivial issue, but is visually distracting and takes away from the very polished feel of the program.  v2.61 didn't do it from what I remember.  Is there anywhere I can download v2.61 to confirm?

I have found that if you change the path by opening the shortcut properties through the FARR (1-right click on the shortcut within the FARR results, 2-"shell context menu", 3-"properties") it will fix the problem.  It's almost as if somehow the shortcut is storing two values - one for 64bit Explorer and one for 32bit FARR.

I figured out something out that is fairly bizarre.  If I view the properties for the shortcut by using the right click context menu from within Explorer, the target shows as...

C:\Program Files\PaintDotNET\PaintDotNet.exe

... which is correct.  BUT if I select "shell context menu" from the FARR context menu and then select properties, the target (for the exact same shortcut file) shows as ...

C:\Program Files (x86)\PaintDotNET\PaintDotNet.exe

So something funky is going on for some 64bit programs.  My workaround is to "Ignore item in the future" and have FARR launch the exe directly instead of the shortcut.  This workaround obviously only works if there are no arguments.  I will try running the program in compatibility modes to see if that helps.

Reinstalled in "C:\Program Files (x86)\PaintDotNET\PaintDotNet.exe".  Still no luck.

Here's another program that does the exact same thing -- Paint.net. The same error is presented: "The specified path does not exist".  The path does exist.  The shortcut works find when launched via Explorer or the start menu.  It's a very standard looking target:

"C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.exe"

Only thing remotely notable is the "." in the folder name.
