v1.30
- This version contains a complete rewrite of the HTML construction
code and an upgrade to a newer compiler. Hopefully, this should
result in bullet-proof crashing (at least for corrupted images)
as the new compiler seems to catch corrupted JPEGs better
(it also gives a 2.4% speed improvement, yay!).
- PowerNailer now support creating a separate HTML file for each
and every image. This allows you to configure the way your image
is displayed.
- Separate Header and Footer files can be attached to this new
generated HTML file. These new files can contain the special
HTML tags used within the advanced section and a special <back>
tag (to return to sending page) for even more configurability.
- Two new tags have been added to the advanced section, they
allow you to specifically list the source picture width and height.
- Some of the special HTML tags used in the advanced section
were renamed. Make sure to re-read the help section (from within
PowerNailer's advanced section) to understand what each tag does
now.
- Aborting a running thumbnailing session should now be rock solid
and never cause any instability.
- Using the new '/CFG [File Name]' parameter you can now load different
configuration files from a command line.
- Using the '/DEBUG' command line parameter, will make PowerNailer
create a log file called 'powernailer.log'. This is useful if
there is a specific corrupted image file that PowerNailer's
detection somehow misses and causes the program to crash.
Let me know of any files that may cause crashes.
- Using the <PicRezBlock> tag in the text box now works correctly.
- Fixed several errors when dealing with small corrupted jpeg images.
- In the advanced menu, placing the mouse over an edit line will show the
entire line's content in a pop-up hint box.
- Quite a few bug fixes and a few small cosmetic fixes.
v1.23
- Fixed a bug that caused an access fault when trying
to use the multi-directory function under certain conditions.
- Browsing for files is now working properly.
- Support for command line automatic operation using the "/AUTO" switch.
v1.22
- PowerNailer should now display correctly on windows with
Large Font settings.
- If a thumbnail directory is specified, PowerNailer now tries
to automatically create it if it doesn't exist.
- If a thumbnail directory was created, the header file would
not be found if a full path was not specified.
- Images that contain the "#" character in their filename are
now linked using a control code (%23). This will also appear
in the filename when downloaded, but the file itself remains
untouched. This is a browser fix, there is no known way
around it.
v1.21
- The saving and loading of different configuration files is now supported
through the advanced menu.
- You can now tell PowerNailer to create the thumbnails in selectable sub-directory
(this directory must exist).
- A new overwrite feature allows you to use all the thumbnails in the directory
for each page creation cycle, thus disabling the normal incremental approach.
- Aborting the creation process is now more stable.
- The PowerNailer preview period has been increased.
v1.20
- Power Nailer now contains an Advanced section allowing
users with good understanding of the HTML language a much broader
flexibility in the creation of the HTML code. Every bit of the
generated HTML code can now be manipulated and altered to fit
your personal needs.
- Page creation will now begin from "PAGE00001.HTML" rather than
"PAGE00000.HTML", and the corresponding internal PAGE replacement
HTML Tag will appear according to the file name numbering.
This makes old pages created with v1.10 or older incompatible when
multi-pages were used, it is advised to recreate all pages, especially
for the use of the new internal html speed enhancement listed below.
- Image dimensions are now placed within the IMG HTML tag to
considerably improve page load timing, Especially when progressive
JPEG encoding is used.
- The Base file name is now selectable, allowing you to create
"gallery00001.html" rather than the usual "page00001.html" (note:
any acceptable file name is usable).
- You can now define the minimum number of digits used when creating
HTML files (i.e. 'PAGE001.HTML' for 3 digits and 'PAGE00001.HTML'
for 5 digits).
- The moving of broken and or corrupt image files into the broken
directory is now optional.
- The configuration file is now called "powernail.cfg" rather than
"htmlcat.cfg", you may erase the old configuration file.
- The special Page tag can now exist more than once within the
same line inside the header file.
v1.10
- The image directory structure was greatly simplified, you no longer need to
create the "image" subdirectory. Power Nailer will now search for
pictures within the main picture directory. While this is a bit
messy, it is simpler, and requires less sub-directory maintenance
on servers.
- Invalid GIF files could on some conditions crash Power Nailer,
hopefully this problem has been eliminated.
- If an invalid image file was the first file Power Nailer attempted
to thumbnail, it could cause a "Divide by Zero" error.
- Fixed a bug where placing two images of the same file name, but with a
different format extension would crash Power Nailer.
- Fixed a bug where the external convertor options were not being saved.
- You no longer need to specify a full path to the header, footer and
directory list files if they exist in the current Power Nailer working
directory (but it's always nice to be accurate when pointing to files).
- Not specifying a picture directory when not using a directory list
would crash Power Nailer.
- When typing the header and footer file location manually, and incorrectly
typing a wrong location, Power Nailer would have crashed.
- The documentation and various html information files are now included
in the archive for those of you who prefer to read them offline.
v1.01
- Version 1.01 removes some of the design-time default settings I forgot
to remove in v1.00.
- Also added, was automatic checking for value validity in all the entry
fields. If people were to insert wrong value (like a tile width of 0
pixels) it may have caused a divide by zero error.
v1.00
- Version 1.00 introduces a new downscaling routine which gives even better
scaling quality, it is highly CPU & FPU intensive, but gives out great quality.
Read more about it on the online documentation.
- Power Nailer was added to Tucows, but was only
given 3.5 cows, ah well, I guess Power Nailer is a bit of specialized program, and
they possibly haven't grasped much of it's use.
v0.99b
- HTML Power Nailer released.
