Final notes

• Drag & Drop support. This feature comes as an alternative to the "Open/Save" buttons, simply drag a file onto Shadow and it will automatically fill the "Source" and "Destination" fields with the necessary information;
• Shell integration. This feature allows you to instantly open a "Shadow Encoded File (*.sc)" by applying a double click on it;
• Warning: If you have the habit of moving Shadow around, that is, if you change its location often, you must start the application at least once to enable(refresh) the shell integration, that is, Shadow will inform Windows about its new location. In case you move the application and you don't do this procedure Windows will assume that Shadow is no longer present and it will disable the shell integration the next time you reboot your machine.
