Two new audio formats you can convert to and compress: EAC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) and MKA (Matroska audio). You can also open many more audio files to convert from — Monkey’s Audio (APE), Musepack (MPC), TAK, DSD (DSF), Shorten (SHN), AMR and GSM. These are read-only, so you can convert them to any other format, but Picmal won’t write them back out.

On the video side, there’s a new format you can convert to and compress: 3G2 (3GPP2 mobile video). And you can open more video files to convert from too — RealMedia (RM, RMVB), Bink (BIK), FLIC animation (FLI, FLC), Nullsoft Streaming Video (NSV) and Dahua CCTV (DAV). These are read-only as well, so they convert out to any other format but Picmal won’t write them.

We also fixed reopening Picmal sometimes bringing up the Settings window instead of the main window.

Finally, conversions started from the Finder right-click menu no longer stall when Picmal launches in the background. They now run straight away, and a licence check no longer fires twice on launch.
