What’s new

  • Back and Forward history per tab: each tab keeps its own view history, so Back and Forward step through the images it has shown, including TIFF and archive pages. History follows files you rename.
  • Close Image: close the current image without closing the application or tab (#443).
  • Keywords in Image Information: view, edit and copy an image’s keywords tag (#432).
  • Respect folder structure inside archives: a new Settings option, on by default. Archive pages in several folders open in folder order (Volume 01/001.jpg before Volume 02/001.jpg) instead of interleaved.
  • Hide the gallery in large folders (settings file only, off by default): set HideGalleryAtFileCount to hide the gallery in folders with at least that many files (#394).

Improvements

Gallery

  • The gallery opens centered on the current image.
  • With Side-by-side on, both images of the pair are highlighted in the gallery.
  • Slow scrolling adds up instead of snapping back.
  • Gallery loads use less memory and read file details more cheaply, so large folders load faster.
  • Copying an image from the gallery copies the original full-size image, not the thumbnail.

Archives

  • A corrupt page is skipped instead of failing the whole archive.
  • An archive overtaken by another while loading no longer leaves its extracted files behind.
  • Renaming an archive in its folder keeps its history entries.
  • The “Always uncompress entire archive folder” setting is removed. Extraction is now always staged. Old settings files still load.

Windows and layout

  • Resize and Convert windows remember where they were closed, like the other tool windows.
  • A remembered window position is applied only if the window overlaps a screen, instead of being moved to the top-left corner.
  • Escape closes Image Information, Batch Resize and Resize again while a number box has focus.
  • AutoFit windows:
    • Turning AutoFit on places the window the same way a resize does.
    • A natively maximized window stays where it is after a resize.
    • A window that starts fullscreen moves to its screen’s origin, so the taskbar does not cover it (Windows).
    • Screen Margin changes apply to every open window at once. A negative Screen Margin from an older settings file is corrected.
    • The start-up menu opens at a size that shows the full logo.
  • Hover bar: easier to reveal over a docked gallery. A hover bar that can’t fade in no longer takes clicks.
  • The File History and Favorites menu no longer blinks or jumps back to the top when opened.

Settings and keybindings

  • Gallery keyboard navigation has moved to contextual actions:
    • Up and Down in Normal mode scroll an image taller than the window. When nothing else claims them, they keep rotating the image.
    • When the gallery is expanded, Up, Down, Left and Right navigate the gallery.
    • Left and Right (A/D) go to the previous or next image.
  • Keybind files are migrated to settings version 3.1. Your custom keybinds are kept, and the default Left and Right keybinds are added.
  • The “Show docked gallery when UI is hidden” setting is removed.

Fixes

  • Renaming no longer silently overwrites an existing file. The rename is refused with “A file with that name already exists”, and the dialog stays open. Case-only renames still work.
  • The rename dialog selects the name without its extension (#439).
  • Renaming a shown image in Explorer keeps its zoom and rotation. The title shows its real size instead of 0 × 0.
  • Saving an image that is both flipped and turned a quarter turn (once or three times) now matches what you see. Before, it was written 180° off.
  • The zoom percentage popup shows the new image’s percentage.
  • A new image in a background tab no longer resets the zoom of the tab you are looking at. A tab that loaded its image in the background fits it correctly when you switch to it.
  • Image Information updates correctly when you switch between tabs. It shows dimensions for clipboard, base64 and URL images, and clears them on a blank tab.
  • Open last file now opens the last file reliably.
  • An archive image that finishes loading late no longer replaces the one you moved to.
  • The background is applied at startup again (#444).
  • Two Main Windows: resizing one no longer shows or hides the other’s title bar and bottom bar buttons.
  • Fixed unintentional empty horizontal scroll with middle mouse button scrolling when AutoFit is enabled.
  • Detaching tabs into new windows now previews and drops at the given size from the origin window.
  • Don't save window position when minimized and don't start the window outside of visible screen area (441).
