- changes
- ---------------------------------------
-
- since 0.98a
-
- - fixed slideshow bug: when only one picture was selected
- and slideshow plus loop mode was activated, the picture
- was reloaded over and over again. reported by Joker.
- - minor aspect problems fixed.
- - the image aspect is now displayed in the information
- textline.
- - added JPEG saving. (no options yet. default saving
- quality used. for registered users)
- - fixed commandline options. reported by Kilyman.
- - added autodither.
- - fixed timing problems in slideshow mode.
- - MysticView now requires mysticview.library.
- - MysticView has been slightly sped-up on truecolor displays.
- - added ZOOMSTEP.
- - limited newicon thumbnails to a size of 80x80 pixels and
- 64 colors. this will speed up the icon display on your
- Workbench. (this is still no final solution, though.)
- - added configurable slots for preset files. they can be
- accessed throughout CTRL F1 ... F10 and configured
- by selecting them from the menu. requested by H. Richter.
- - the same scheme now applies to the configurable destination
- paths for copying/moving. keyboard executes, menu selection
- configures.
- - slideshows didn't always stop immediately. fixed.
- - the REQUESTFILE option is now considered after a slideshow
- stopped. requested by P. Habermehl.
- - implemented SHOWCURSOR.
- - finally fixed the publicscreen/customscreen problem. the
- setting SCROPENMODE=CUSTOM/PUBLIC/NONE replaces the former
- tooltype CUSTOMSCREEN.
- - added CX_PRIORITY, CX_POPKEY and CX_POPUP.
- MysticView is now a commodity. ESC to hide, Amiga-Q to quit.
- note: 'hide' keeps the current image - and you keep that in
- mind when you iconify MysticView with a 2880x1440x24 image :)
- - the screen is no longer closed and reopened for the change of
- window settings.
- - fixed a memory allocation bug with the PUBSCREEN setting.
- - many minor changes
- - added AUTOHIDE.
- - the picture aspect is now handled for thumbnails.
- - added pubscreen select and default/public/custom menu items.
- - added appicon
- - added rotation. (preliminary. SHOWCURSOR and grid refresh doesn't
- work corretly with the image being rotated)
- - fixed install script for 030/FPU version. Reported by B. Murray.
- - deleted pictures are now removed from the list and MysticView
- advances to the next picture. requested by P. Dahlberg.
- - added ROTATESTEP
- - added DEFICON
- - added CONFIRM. requested by P. Dahlberg.
- - added HIDEWITHPICTURE.
- - added ICONIFY.
- - fixed PUBSCREEN setting. pubscreens have got precedence
- over CUSTOMSCREEN now. reported by P. Habermehl and M.
- Kilimann.
- - fixed MysticView's new icon to use only required colors.
- reported by M. Kilimann.
- - looping and AUTOQUIT are now applied in general,
- not only in slideshow mode. requested by P. Habermehl.
