Problems with C1 LE 3.6
I just wanted to mention a few problems I have encountered while evaluating C1 LE 3.6 (3.6.0.88) on my WinXP Pro (SP2) machine. I apologize if some of these have been mentioned before. I've tried to leave out ones that I already been mentioned in recent threads.
I found these issues in my first hour of use, which makes me wonder how a company can do so little QA before a release. As a software engineer I can say no employer of mine would tolerate such a buggy release. This is a beta and it should have been called that.
Green thumbnails with Canon 1D Mark II
I've been told this is a \"feature\" and not a bug but I find it unacceptable that the initial thumbnails for my 1D Mark II are strongly tinted green:

Of course normal thumbnails are eventually generated, but it can take a while even on a fast machine if the folder has many images. No other RAW viewer does this, so I see no reason why it should be acceptable for C1.
A the very least C1 should generate normal thumbnails first for the images that are on the screen (ie, those I'm likely to be working with) instead of its brain-dead last-to-first order (ie, starting with the images I'm least likely to be processing).
Focus preview drawn incorrectly at medium/large size
If the preview size is changed on the Focus tab to medium or large, the preview does not draw correctly when the Focus tab is selected for the very first time:

Here is what happens when a new image is loaded and the (medium) Focus tab appears for the first time:

This is a repeatable error that happens every time.
Focus area indicator ghosts in main preview
C1 draws a small square in the main preview when the Focus tab is selected to indicate what part of the image is being previewed for sharpness. Unfortunately C1 also usually leaves a ghost square on the preview:

The ghost square remains on the screen no matter where I click in the main image preview or in the focus preview.
\"Apply Settings\" checkbox problem
After pressing the \"Apply Settings\" button, a dialog comes up. Notice that \"Crop\" and \"Image Title\" are not greyed out even though \"Process\" is not selected. If I check \"Process\" twice (once to set it, then again to un-set it), \"Crop\" and \"Image Title\" are properly greyed out. However, if I close the dialog and return to it, they are once again enabled:
