It hasn't even been a week since v4.0, but PhotoQt v4.1 is out! The main focus of this release is bug fixes and adding some missing functionality.
Given the massive size of this last release, most things were/are working just fine, no major issues were discovered following the release. However, some things did manage to slip through and were subsequently caught and reported (thanks to everybody who helped!). This resulted in this quick new release with a range of fixes and improvements.
Here is a selection of some of the highlights
- It is now once again possible to export/import the configuration in the settings manager, as well as the option to reset the various parts of the configurations to their defaults.
- In the file dialog, the minimum width of the places column has been reduced to enable saving space on the screen. The file view has now a new vertical scrollbar.
- Images that are smaller than the screen can now be once again shown fit into the window.
- Loading archives now once again supports any image type supported by PhotoQt instead of only the ones supported natively by Qt.
- Loading an image in the current working directory at startup is now working again. This includes opening images with PhotoQt.
- When the folder content changed PhotoQt refreshes the currently loaded data. It now preserves the currently loaded image instead of returning to the image PhotoQt was opened with.
- It was already possible to use the middle button of the mouse for setting up shortcuts, and now they can actually be activated and used.
