What's New
==========
Version 2.53 (released: October 24, 2002)
------------
* Added the Lossless option to the Algorithm list. Use it to
produce lossless JPEG rotations.
* The Lossless option can now be invoked through the following
command-line switch: /F=Lossless
* When overwriting original files with images transformed by
Easy Thumbnails, the modified picture is now updated in the image
panels. Images selections are kept when the file list is updated.
* Fixed an error that occurred when saving a lossless JPEG image
over its original file.
Version 2.52 (released: October 15, 2002)
------------
* Since version 2.5, EXIF data is copied to the new image file
whenever the original JPEG image contains such data. Now, to
reduce the file size of small thumbnails, the EXIF data is
automatically removed if the image height or width does not
exceed 300 pixels.
* The file size shown with Thumbnail Preview active was incorrect
for images containing EXIF data. This is now fixed.
Version 2.51 (released: October 08, 2002)
------------
* Added two new command-line switches to set the resampling filter
(/F) and resizing method (/Z). See Help for details.
* Fixed a glitch that caused the resize dimensions to be reset to
200 each time Easy Thumbnails was restarted.
* Fixed a glitch that caused resizing to fail under certain
conditions.
* Sometimes files were not overwritten when they should have
been.
* Several other minor improvements and issues fixed.
Version 2.5 (released: September 26, 2002)
-----------
* New image processing engine; it is now significantly faster.
* Three additional resampling filters.
* If your original image is a JPEG file, you can produce a lossless
(no degradation of image quality) ▒ 90/180 rotation by setting
"JPeg quality" to 100, no resize, and all other settings to zero.
* Renamed some of the interface items for better clarity.
* Several minor issues fixed.
Version 2.0 (released: September 04, 2002)
-----------
* Added Resize options: no resize, best fit (scale down/up), shrink
to fit, enlarge to fit, stretch to fit (aspect ratio ignored).
* Added option [Smart] to automatically select the best resampling
filter used for resizing pictures.
* Added a pull-down list to configure name of thumbnail file with
a prefix or suffix.
* Added edit boxes next to slider controls as an alternative method
to change the settings.
* Added support for processing file lists through the command-line.
* Command-line parameters can now either start with the "/" or "-"
character.
* Updated the Help file, which includes a topic explaining the
different resize algorithms.
Version 1.8c (released: May 06, 2002)
------------
* Improved the Browse Folder dialog box.
* Under Windows NT/2000/XP, the "Make Thumbnail" context-menu
command failed to show up in Windows Explorer. This is now fixed.
* The /L command-line switch now also changes the case of
thumbnail filenames made during the session.
* JPE files (Jpeg) are now correctly processed.
Version 1.8b (released: April 18, 2002)
------------
* The /M command-line switch was set under certain conditions,
even though it was not specified. Fixed.
Version 1.8 (released: April 03, 2002)
-----------
* Now uses a new HTML Help file.
* Selecting a range of images with the Shift key no longer causes
an update of each selected image.
* Fixed a bug that caused a message box to pop up when creating
thumbnails from the command-line (as if the /M switch was used).
* Fixed a minor rounding error when calculating the new size of
thumbnails.
* Fixed "GetDIB failed" error messages sometimes popping up when
processing large .bmp files.
* The "Make Thumbnail" shortcut for Windows Explorer is now an
option that can be set through the Setup program.
* Several other minor issues fixed.
Version 1.6b (released: January 29, 2002)
------------
* Fixed a glitch that sometimes caused failure to create the
"Make Thumbnail" context-menu command in Windows Explorer.
* The image preview now shows a popup hint with details on its
dimensions and file size when you move the mouse cursor over it.
* A licensing arrangement is now required if you plan to run
Easy Thumbnails on a server as a process for another application.
* Updated Help file.
Version 1.6 (released: December 10, 2001)
-----------
* Supports Windows XP themes.
* To speed up image selection, you can hold down the Alt key to
stop each image you select from being displayed in the Preview
panel. This can be useful if you want to select several large
images for processing.
* Message and error windows can now be completely suppressed
when running Easy Thumbnails from the command line. Use the new
/LOG switch to store status information in a log file. You can
specify a filename for the log results by using an equal sign
after /LOG followed by the filename. If you don't specify a log
file, results will be stored in "EzThumbs.log" in the program's
folder. Examples:
EzThumbs.exe "test\*.jpg" /Log
EzThumbs.exe "c:\temp\*.jpg" /Log=Output
EzThumbs.exe "*.jpg" /Log="c:\My Documents\Thumbnails.dat"
* Earlier versions were not able to open TIFF files unless they
contained "preview information". This has been fixed.
Version 1.5 (released: September 06, 2001)
-----------
* Easy Thumbnails can create Web pages with your choice of images.
The layout can be defined through simple template files. See the
"Make Web page" command described below.
* Added command-line switches. These let you create thumbnails
and Web pages without using the program's interface. Thanks to
this feature, you can generate thumbnails seamlessly from other
programs. See the Help file for details.
* Added a "Make Thumbnail" command to the Windows Explorer File
and shortcut menus. This command only appears for supported
file types and is ideal for quickly converting one or two
images. This feature is only suitable for handling small amounts
of images at a time (five or less).
* New "Make Web page" command, which is available when you right-
click with your mouse in the picture-files listing. Use this
command to create a Web page based on your current selection of
images. The layout is defined in the "Template.html" template
file, which you can customize. By default, the Web-page file is
saved as "pictures.html", and each new copy adds an index number
after the name -- e.g., pictures(1).html, pictures(2).html, etc.
You can set a different name through the program's command line.
* New "Show in browser" command, which is available when you
right-click with your mouse in the picture-files listing. Use this
command to display the current selection of images in your default
browser. The layout is defined in the "Template.html" template
file, which you can customize.
* Easy Thumbnails now correctly recognizes Jpeg files using the
.jpe extension. These represent truncated .jpeg extensions.
* Fixed a glitch that caused a black pixel to appear at the top +
bottom left side of images with a non-zero Sharpness setting.
Version 1.0 (released: March 28, 2001)
-----------
