QuickPlay WIP
Just to let everyone know, a new version of QuickPlay will be released soon. This version is a minor release, with some new features and a few bug fixes (including a possible fix for 7zip errors). Anyway check back soon for the release.

Also I have set up QuickPlayWiki which is the new home of QuickPlay documentation. It's a bit bare at the minute, but it cant be any worse than the old (non-existant) documentation.. :)
