❤️ You can support FlyPhotos by sponsoring or by downloading from Microsoft Store
Version 2.5.21 will be available in the Store only for now. Please wait a couple of weeks for the MSI version. The Windows App SDK has been updated to 2.0 and most of the supporting DLLs have changed. I need time to prune any unwanted DLLs and test the installation and also at the same time completely burned out rewriting Fly to support the max refresh rate of GPU. Thank you for your patience!
This update brings a lot of new features and improvements. Please go through the list carefully.
✨ New Features & Improvements
- Added a completely new rendering pipeline for pan and zoom animations. All your lagging/stuttering issues should be fixed now. FlyPhotos can now render at your monitor's maximum refresh rate and has been tested up to 144 FPS, resulting in an incredibly fluid, buttery-smooth experience. This is the biggest rendering rewrite since launch. (#153).
- Added a redesigned and reorganized Settings screen. (#156)
- Added an option to scale small images to fill the screen instead of displaying them at 1:1 size as default. (#154)
- Added an option to launch FlyPhotos in Maximized, Fullscreen or Previous state. 'Previous state' option remembers size, position, and monitor windowed/maximized state (but no fullscreen). (#149)
- Added more keyboard and mouse shortcuts. See the table below for the complete list. (#146)
- Added keyboard shortcuts for launching external applications. (#155)
- Improved SVG rendering speed while reducing memory usage. (#145)
- Added support for selecting RAW decoder priority for speed or compatibility. (#139, #97)
- Added support for Russian (thanks to @syntetic-sudo), Ukrainian (thanks to @prodbysanya), Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese / zh-CN (thanks to @xpxxy). FlyPhotos now supports 18 languages! (#133)
- Lots of optimizations for speed and performance.
