This release includes fixes and usability features from user feedback as well speedups to thumbnail generation.
-
Increased number of off-screen thumbnail generating threads. Added thumbnail generation progress indicator to view window.
-
Esc key exits fullscreen/basic-mode as before, but now also exits the viewer if not in fullscreen/basic.
This can be disabled in preferences. -
Support for multiple profiles to be saved in config file. There are currently two profiles: Main and Basic. Each has a complete compliment of viewer settings. The B key toggles between them. The defaults for the Basic profile give you a simplified viewer with no nav bar or menu bar, and a longer slideshow period. These settings can all be modified and are saved to whatever profile is current. The preferences window tells you the current profile.
-
Reworked preferences window tabs with buttons to reset only the current profile, the current category/tab within a profile, or reset everything (all profiles, all categories).
-
Support non-US layout keyboards.
-
Fix image centering when downsampling (smaller image than drawable area). A rounding bug was causing the image to be out by one pixel in width.
-
Toolbar cleanup and separators.
-
Cubemap and Mipmap options moved from toolbar to DDS properties window.
Simplifies toolbar by removing two buttons that are only available to DDS files. -
Ability to reset the zoom mode when displaying a new image. The default zoom mode is available in Preferences->Interface. The available zoom modes when switching images are:
- Keep: No change to zoom mode when switching images (this is the old behaviour).
- Fit: Image is zoomed to fit display area no matter its size.
- Downscale:* Shows it at 100% zoom unless image is too big and needs downscaling.
- OneToOne: One image pixel takes up one screen pixel.
-
Cleanup of image properties window. HDR image exposure changes no longer require hitting a reload button.
-
Ability to not use a fixed aspect work area. It is now an option to turn it on in the Display tab of the preferences. Look for Fixed Aspect Work Area (defaults to off). A non-fixed aspect work area helps when zooming in as all avail real estate will be used, and matches more closely the behaviour of other image viewers.
-
Fixed a background drawing bug that was sometimes showing a pixel-width line outside of the image.
