LView version 1.6 Copyright Leonardo Haddad Loureiro
Version 1.6 news:
NEW FEATURES:
New command added: Options/Show Scroll Bars, allows the user to
enable/disable window scrollbars exhibition.
BUG FIXES:
When viewing images with Options/8-bit Bitmap unchecked (i.e. in
24-bit mode), trying to save an image to BMP (Windows or OS/2)
format would make LView 1.5 cause a GPF.
When loading a grayscale JPEG file with Options/8-bit Bitmap
checked, LView 1.5 would cause a GPF. That would not occour
if Options/Jpeg Options/Load GrayScale was set.
If a slideshow was interrupted while loading an image file,
after successfully loading one or more image files, the
File/Save item would not be disabled, and choosing it
would make LView 1.5 cause a GPF.
If the user tried to exit LView 1.5, after an unsuccessfull file
load, due to a file format error, a GPF would occour. This would
not happen if other files were subsequently loaded without errors,
prior to exiting LView 1.5.
When saving certain images to TGA format, a few incorrect horizontal
lines would be generated.
Loading of interlaced GIF files would cause a GPF.
Loading TGA files was sometimes failing to close the file handle,
causing LView 1.5 to run out of file handles.
Exiting LView 1.5 during a slideshow pause (either in manual or
automatic advancement) would cause a GPF.
Version 1.5 news:
NEW FEATURES:
Targa image files are now supported, both for loading and saving.
If Options/8-bit Options is set, LView will do a 1 pass quantize with
Floyd-Steinberg dithering, when loading 24-bit targa or BMP
(Windows or OS/2) image files
LView's window can now be maximized. Auto resizing will be disabled while
LView's window remains maximized.
New command 'Delete' in the File menu. If confirmed it will delete
the last loaded or saved filename.
New command 'Gamma Correction' in the Edit menu. Gamma correction can be
applied to Red, Green and Blue pixel attributes.
FEATURES ENHANCED:
The Load Grayscale option in the Options/Jpeg Options dialog
performs a faster load for Jpeg files suited for previewing.
'Fit to desktop' option added to the Edit/Resize dialog. Also in this
dialog, when altering one dimension the other will be recalculated
and exhibited, if 'Keep aspect rate' is checked.
When copying to the clipboard, LView will copy only the selected area,
if existant, instead of the whole image.
Auto scroll function (when selecting an area)
The image now scrolls at a constant pace of 1/8 of the client area size
The image now continues to scroll as long as the mouse pointer stays
outside the window, even if it doesn't move.
File loading/saving operations and drag-and-drop operations (like
slideshow and batch compression), can now be canceled by clicking
the on the status indicator shown at the menu bar area. You will be
prompted for a confirmation.
BEWARE that canceling a save operation will cause the LOSS of
the file being saved.
LView can now be terminated anytime during it's execution. If a
operation such as file load/save or drag-drop is taking place,
you will be prompted to confirm it's cancelation.
LView's dialogs for image attributes editing (HSV, Color Balance, Contrast
and the new Gamma Correction) were redesigned to a more compact format.
An 'Exec' Button was added to the Color Balance dialog, to allow for
individual settings for Red, Green and Blue offsets before execution,
when the display is in 24-bit color mode.
In the Jpeg Options dialog, the sampling factor options were replaced by
h2v2 and h2v1, according to Jpeg terminology. These are 'advanced'
options, and changing the default h2v2 to h2v1 will produce larger
compressed files, with some gain in image quality.
BUG FIXES:
The auto-resize algorithm was rewritten and minor bugs were corrected
including the scrollbar ranges.
