- Here is a list of features that are new in PMView 0.92.
-
- 1. Built-in Screen Capture that lets you capture a selected window, the
- interior of a window, the whole screen, or a selected area of the
- screen.
-
- 2. New command line option /SHOrtfileretry that lets you use PMView to view
- images while they're being downloaded via FTP, FTP-PM, C-Kermit, nFTP,
- LiveWire 2.2, and many other programs. (Any program should work as long
- as it permits read sharing and writes the image sequentially.) If you
- add a timeout value to this flag, you can also use it to view POV-Ray
- images while they're being rendered!
-
- 3. TAP Support for LiveWire 3.0 and other terminal emulators that support
- LiveWire TAP. This will allow progressive display of images as they're
- downloaded. (In order to use this feature, you'll need to get the latest
- release of LiveWire. ZOC will also support TAP in a future version.)
-
- 4. New Progressive Loading option, on by default (setting is on the
- "Loading" page in PMView's notebook). This is useful for viewing files
- while they're being downloaded or created, or for seeing file
- interlacing.
-
- 5. Read and write support for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files.
-
- 6. Read and write support for IFF (Electronic Arts) files.
-
- 7. Read and write support for MSP (Microsoft Paint) files.

- cascade that remembers the last 8 files
-
- 13. Each drive can have different view settings in the FOC.
-
- 14. There are new FOC options that let you specify whether to create
- thumbnails when saving and converting files.
-
- 15. New, more OS/2-like mini icons in the FOB drives combo. PMView now also
