Version 4 had actually reached the useable level. Not perfect by any
means but much better than any previous version. Version 5 is at least
half a step backwards, with most customization options that made Digital
Camera Utility 4 worth using either disabled or inoperative. Plus it
looks like a poorly designed web site by comparison to version 4 as
well. The UI in 4 wasn't really exciting, basically. at least on MS
Windows, the Windows World of grey rectangles, with a few XP trimmings,
but workmanlike, 5 not so much.

Not just the UI, but the behaviour of the included software tools have

It's Obligationware: they must include a software DVD because it's
expected, but the stuff needn't actually work very well (or at all),
so it doesn't.

Well what is there to say. The UI of the now just DCU5, no longer Pentax,
is like all things aimed at Win8 being slowly lobotomized. Customizable
settings, forgetaboutit. Just gone.
I thought that software aimed at XP was getting to look a bit like
CandyLand, this is just ridiculous.
Change your tool layouts? Sure you can do that but you'll have to redo it
every time the program starts.
Working in a sub-directory? Not any more. Geez who wrote this crap.
PDCU4 was actually getting to be pretty good, huge step up from previous
versions. DCU5, is annoying as hell. No wonder no one want's to use it.
