Note - Uninstall and do a clean install if Flyphotos is already installed.
Fixed Bug - When multiple tabs are open in Windows Explorer, FlyPhotos listed photos from the first tab always. This is fixed now.
Features added in 2.3.0
- PSD (photoshop document) support has been added. This is the only format which is supported in addition to the default windows supported image formats. (FlyPhotos use windows imaging component in the fastest way possible to open each file except for PSD and HEIC files. Windows doesn't support PSD out of the box, so separate library is used. For HEIC, windows default handling is pathetic in speed, so separate library is used for that also)
- Thumbnail strip as in Picasa. Thumbnail strip has been added at the bottom. It is just read-only at the moment, means no click to navigate feature and all. It is an experimental feature and you can disable it in settings.
- Disk caching for ultra-fast preview loading. (\AppData\Local\FlyPhotosCache.db). Delete this db in case if you have any issues with previews.
- Press CTRL and use scroll wheel to navigate to next or previous photo while cursor is on top of the photo.
- Place cursor on top of Left or Right arrow keys on the screen and use scroll (no need to press CTRL in this case) to go to next or previous photo.
- Place cursor on top of rotate button on the screen and use scroll wheel to rotate the photo.
- While maximized, now we have close/restore/minimize buttons.
I feel FlyPhotos is one of the fastest photo viewer software out there right now. It is not memory optimized, but is heavily performance optimized. Just open FlyPhotos in a folder with 1000's of images and keep the next/back keys on screen or keyboard pressed (don't press again and again, instead keep it pressed). You can feel the performance. And next time you take the same folder, the speed will be multi-fold now due to disk caching.
