Change log:

• Fixed a "show stopper" bug, this bug prevent the captured file to be downloaded to PC, this is the reason for this release.
• Option for full screen background color
• fixed no live view option for D7000
• localization

If somebody want to help translate the application interface, the english file can be downloaded from http://nikon-camera-control.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CameraControl.Application/Languages/en-US/strings.xml same file can be found in installation folder /Languages/en-US folder.

Searching for a new name

I want to change the name of this application, but i don't find any suitable name for it, so i'm open to any name suggestion.
The reason for name changes is the similarity with nikon Camera Control pro, just matter  of time when Nikon will try to block the NCC name.
I search for a simple name, but not something like CameraRemote or DSLR remote or something similar.
