i guess mostly d bug is fixed... coz URI's deal with sending information to different programs. i'm pretty sure its fixed, but still can someone confirm it 100%.

You can update it if u have internet connection. It is not needed to download the whole 5.7MB. Just click on 'Help'->'Check for updates'. It is nearly 700KB download.
