Does this new version offer the ability to export the Trusted Files List?

Will a backup of my v7.0 Trusted Files files work in this new version? I have a lot of saved Trusted Files that I don't care to repopulate.

No it doesn't have the ability to export the trusted files list, I believe that was a feature of CES that accidentally made its way into CIS beta, although I'm not sure of that. Either way, even if it had an export option it wouldn't be very useful without an import button. Either way the answer is no, however I do knot know what happens if you update through the internal updater, when I updated from CIS 8 Beta to CIS 8 Final I can say that it retained the Trusted Files List however I can't say if it will do the same from V7 to V8.

Can you please give a separete download links for x64 and x32 versions of CIS?

200+ MB is not small download if you have slow internet connection   

[Sergey Kazakov]

There is no such possibility at the moment. However, this feature is in the plans for next CIS release.

Good to hear

Is file submission bug solved?

[tailHey]

Hello everyone!

I could consider giving it a try ONLY if the Opera issue is eventually fixed. And since they haven't been able to reproduce it, I doubt about it, so...

[wasgij6]

Congratulations! 

Is file submission bug solved?

Yes. Havent seen that problem with any of the betas
