MysticView history
0.99f
- newicon thumbnail creation did not work properly. fixed.
- Thumbnail AutoUpdate now recognizes changes of the pictures
themselves, as well as changes of the thumbnail parameters.
- removed redundant modes from the screenmode requester.
- some minor bugfixes.
0.99e
- the neural network has been overworked.
- the AUTOSAVESETTINGS setting is no longer saved in the icon,
it is now part of the global configuration
- MysticView did not read its settings from an icon when it
was started as an icon's default tool. fixed.
- added AUTOCROP setting
0.99d
- added AUTODISPLAYMODE and a new menu entry "learn and predict".
if activated, MysticView uses a small neural network to learn the
user's desired displaymode for different kinds of pictures. "learn
and predict" does not care about the rarely used displaymodes
IGNOREASPECT and FIT. it will only learn from and try to predict
KEEPASPECT, KEEPASPECT2, and ONEPIXEL.
- added a new icon by M. Grothmann.
0.99c
- fixed display mode settings in the menus. mutual exclude
was broken since 0.99b.
- added menu item "rename to...". Renaming in this
context means moving a picture to any place in the
filing system. the difference towards "move picture"
is that the picture is kept in the current picture
list. requested by G. Hones.
- MysticView's screen comes to front when a picture
is dragged on the appicon. Requested by M. Grothmann.
0.99b
- the commandline arguments were broken as of v0.99. fixed.
- "reset display settings" is now considered when the display
mode is changed. requested by infinity.
- re-enabled the escape key for quitting. requested by
P. Habermehl and J. Urbanek
- added PRIORITY setting (normal, nice, low). the priority
is only considered when mysticview starts.
- the options menu has been completely restructured.
some settings have been removed from the menu, they are
only accessible throughout tooltypes now: Hide mode,
simple/smart refresh, keep image when hidden
- removed every second frame of the supplied animation from
the archive. it appeared somehow obscene to me to include
half a megabyte of animation data for silly demonstration
purposes
- by default the system's screen font is used for the
picture info text.
- added FONTSPEC tooltype for the picture info text.
syntax: size[,name]. example: FONTSPEC=8,topaz
- revised the documentation. many details did not reflect
recent changes.
- with LMBACTION=NEXT, only mouseclicks that exactly hit the
picture will actually advance the picture list.
- slightly modified the supplied example presets.
* 0.99a
- pictures moved to another directory are now removed from
a list.
- the package contained outdated versions of some libraries,
and the installer did not update correclty. fixed.
- the icons in the v0.99 archive still contained the old
tooltype settings. fixed.
0.99
- added configurable left mousebutton action ('drag' or 'next')
- a default preset path is no longer defined.

read and interpreted twice.
0.98j
- renamed NOLOOP to LOOP, NORECURSE to RECURSE, RENDERMEM to
RENDERQUALITY.
- all former boolean-type settings are now keyword settings.
the keywords are "YES" and "NO".
- removed the DEFICON tooltype.
- SCROPENMODE "NONE" has been renamed to "DEFAULT".
- restuctured the menus.
- configurable paths and presets are now stored in env:/envarc:
and saved automatically. this greatly enhances comfort and
usability.
- file management requesters are no longer opened on the default
pubscreen, but rather on MysticView's screen.
- Mysticview now uses the Workbench's SA_Pens when opening a
new screen
- added slideshow/no delay option.
- added RESETDISPLAY setting. if enabled, the zoom/position/rotation
settings are reset between pictures.
- the installer no longer overwrites an already existing icon.
- MysticView is no longer iconified when the close button is clicked
or Escape is pressed. Iconify has to be invoked seperately.
- changed some default settings.
- added auto thumbnailing.
- removed shareware limitation for thumbnail functions.
- MysticView now creates icons for its preset files.
- MysticView can now be started by doubleclicking a preset icon.
- preset files can be dragged to MysticView's window.
0.98i
- fixed mouse movement problem that somtimes occured when MysticView's
screen was left or re-activated. thanks to persistant nagging
from Joker. this was a MysticView bug and NOT caused by MCP.
- fixed asl file requester enforcer hit
- the same picture is no longer preloaded in the background when
only one picture is in the queue.

picture handler

was specified

distribution.
- iconify mode default is now hardcoded to NO.
- a picture is no longer reloaded when "keep image when hidden"
is selected, slideshow mode is active, only one picture is
in the queue, and MysticView gets uniconified. the same applies
if the screen/windowmode is changed ("keep image when hidden"
is not considered in this case)
0.98h
- you can now completely disable mysticview's logo by setting
STARTPIC=none. mysticview now starts when a startpic wasn't
found.
- fixed a tiny memory leak in the settings that could occur with
some options.
- added THUMBSIZE and THUMBCOLORS.
- improved subtask stability
- added REJECTPATTERN
- the startpic file requester could produce an enforcer hit. fixed.

textline.

0.98c
- 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.

list file from where to fetch pictures.
- added Open List File... menu and LISTPATH config.
- the window border is now refreshed correctly (after approx.
1/5 second. guess what, a subtask is used here. opaque window
sizing would suffer too much from refreshing the window border
all the time :)
- finally! MysticView should close down gently now if the required
versions of guigfx or render.library could not be opened (#&§@%!?)
- new icon tooltypes are created dynamically. no need to upgrade
MysticView's icon anymore.
