I just moved to a new Windows 7 PC running the latest beta.
I used the wallpaper path change tool:
http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/forum/messages.asp?Topic=10430&tmpl=UltraMon
I'm running quad-monitors (2 Geforece 9800 GT) and the layout/position of my monitors changes so inside the wallpaper manager I updated a few of my wallpapers that were 4 individual images so that they are laid out properly.
Now, I am trying to add generated bitmaps to my backgrounds for my desktop theme however the bitmaps are not updated to reflect the changes in the manager.
Wallpaper profiles (folder I added to the theme):
C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\3.0.7\Wallpapers
Wallpaper sources:
C:\Users\%users%\My Backgrounds
Is there something I need to do in order for the bitmaps to regenerate?
Thanks!

Version 3 of UltraMon no longer generates a bitmap file for each wallpaper, a bitmap only gets generated for the currently active wallpaper, the file is stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Realtime Soft\UltraMon.

So it's safe to remove the bitmaps then and just keep the .wallpaper files?
I guess I'll have to go back to using the 'ol script method for auto-rotate then, which I'm currently using anyway.

Edit:
That being said, an option to generate the bitmaps would be infinitely useful for "seemless" integration with Windows 7's wallpaper rotate.
Just my .02 ;)

You can safely delete the .bmp files, they're not needed as UltraMon can always generate them from the .wallpaper files (assuming you still have the original images used for the wallpapers).
Currently I have no plans to add support for generating bitmaps, this isn't a good solution because the bitmaps need to be regenerated whenever the display configuration changes. A built-in wallpaper changer is planned though.
