Its has been a very long time since the last release! Becuase this is a brand new release you may need to bypass the windows smart screen to install.

This release is a combination of enhancements and bug fixes.

A feature was added to automatically recover the file locations when folders were moved or the files a being opened on a different computer. This helps a lot when using a google drive store the files being merged as well as the XML merge plan file. It the merge plan is opened on a different path on a different computer it will still open correctly now.

PdfMerge now works correctly on a 4K monitor when screen scaling is used.

PdfMerge now prompts for saving the merging plan if something was changed.

In response to user requests, PdfMerge now supports some different formats for pagination. This is especialy helpful for producing PDF files in languages other than English.

Some improvements were made to programatic usage from the command line as well. A /showgui option was added so the main window pops up after the merge is completed. As well command line usage now picks up all the annotation and page numbering settings.

The underlying merge engine is PdfSharp and this has been updated to the latest available 1.50 version. Hopefully this will improve merging results and compatability.

Finally a better help document was created and is linked to the Help -> Content in the main menu.

I appeciate all the suggestions and bug reports. All the source code is uploaded as well if anyone feels inspired to help out.
