[@Mr.Dave] Quick follow-up: program installed fine, registration was quick & easy (I already have an Ashampoo account, it didn’t even ask me for a password). Program looks the same to me, very nice of them to not mess with UI or add useless features just to make a “2024” version. Description said the changes were for optimizing and stability.
Also: the 2023 version uninstalled without leaving any traces behind, which says a lot about the developers’ effort and care to make a good program.
