Improvements

Updated User Interface

• PicView's interface has been polished for a better UI/UX.
• New Settings Window that is easier to navigate.

Performance

• Faster startup time.

File size

PicView is now built with Avalonia using AOT (Ahead of Time) compilation. As a result, the file size is reduced from 215 MB to 129 MB, with no reliance on separate .NET installations.

Auto Scroll

The image gallery and the Image Info window now also supports auto scrolling with the middle mouse button.

Enhanced Keybindings Support

Keybindings now support Ctrl, Alt, and Shift modifiers. Customize and change keyboard shortcuts in the new Keybindings window.

Improved SVG support

Loading SVG files is now significantly faster and quality doesn't degrade when zooming in.

Signing

The new releases are digitally signed, ensuring authenticity and security, thanks to SignPath Foundation.
