FastRawViewer: questions, suggestions, feature requests.

Shadow recovery

I am testing out the FRV in Trial mode.
The shadow recovery is impressive but when I transfer the image to another program- I do not get the same shadow recovery.
Is here a way to import files with shadow recovery already applied.
Apologies, if this question has already been asked before- I could not find a search function to search for older posts.
Thanks

WEBP image support?

Sorry - i couldn't find the search tool, so i'll ask directly.
Is there WEBP file support planned, or should i start to convert all my WEBP images to JPGs?

FRV not opening raw files on Desktop after HDD replacement

Hi,
I upgraded my HDD on macbook air and ran up FRV. It sees my raw files but does not open them. I noticed that the Folders window has small downward facing arrows on some folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads which all sit under my Users/Username folder). I re-loaded FRV but this did not help. My FRV licence is current. Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Rename file?

I'm new to FastRawViewer and very happy i've found it. It's a perfect replacement for the abandoned FastPictureViewer.
There is one thing i can't seem to find out: How can i rename an image file i have open in the viewer? I'm sorting a huge amount of screenshots from websites on different topics, and sometimes i need to rename a file while sorting, before i move it to a folder for archiving. In FPV i pressed F2 and renamed the file.
How is it done in FRV?

Option to not save exposure changes while culling?

is there a setting or option such that if I make exposure changes while viewing my images, that they would not be saved once I move off the image (or once I quit FRV)? Reason is that I'd like to make exposure changes just to preview / cull but once in my editor would like to start with the RAW exactly as shot. 
Thanks and sorry if this has been answered, I didn't see a search function in the forum here. 

PixelShift2DNG commandline

I have not been able to call Pixelshift2DNG from the commandline. Calling the executable directly from the commandline just launches the GUI. Is it possible to pass files and have them processed without the GUI?
I have tried on OSX and Windows (under WSL) .
The manual says: 

Change File Explorer RAW images from FRV icons to image thumbnails?

Windows 10. Why is it that when I load RAW images onto my computer, the thumbnails appear in File Explorer as FRV icons and not as images?  Of course, I would prefer the thumbnails to be picture images and not just FRV icons.  Thanks.

Lens Calibration

Should FRV display a Raw image with lens calibration taken into account? The Raw display is distorted for my Panasonic TZ200 at the wide end compared to jpeg display

Please add comparing multiple photos soon, as well as the following features...

Add comparing 2 photos.
When you do the compare two photos make it so we can lock the panning. 
Add more metadata filter like camera type, lens, focal length, etc.
Also fix how shift+ left click works, right now it makes no goddamn sense.
 
Thanks.
 

Group feature request

There are multiple techniques like bracketing, stitching, and stacking that result in multiple exposures for a single final photo. It would be great if there was some way to group them to simplify the review process and ensure all exposures in a group are dispositioned the same way. Thanks for considering.
