Executable Release v1.90

I'm very happy to announce img-txt_viewer is 1 year old! 🎉🎈

I love knowing this app has helped at least a few people work faster and easier, and I want to thank everyone so much for your interest and support.

Here's some new tools, fixes, and changes for version 1.90:

---

• New:

  • Find Duplicate Files: Quickly find and separate duplicate images in your dataset.
    • This works by checking file hash - 2GB file limit. Can be used for all files
    • Built as a stand alone tool.
  • Rename/convert img-txt Pairs: Easily rename and convert your dataset in a clean format.
    • All images are converted to ".jpg" format to prevent duplicate filename issues.
    • JPG conversion quality is set to 100, this ensures a small file size and no visible compression will be added for most conversions.
    • Example: 00001.jpg, 00001.txt.
  • Expand Current Image: Expand images to a square resolution without cropping.
    • This tool makes an image square by extending its shorter side to match the length of its longer side, after rounding that length down to the nearest multiple of 8.
    • The empty space is then filled by expanding the border of pixels from the long side.
  • Crop Image: Crop the currently displayed image.
    • Currently only supports cropping by square (1:1) or freeform.
    • Double click to quickly create a 512x512 or 1024x1024 rectangle (automatically decided based on image size)
    • Right-click the image to open the context menu and select either Crop, Clear, or Open Directory.
    • Mousewheel to resize the rectangle.
  • Flip Image: Flip the currently displayed image horizontally.
  • Rotate Image: Rotate the the currently displayed image 90 degrees.
  • Duplicate Pair: Duplicate the currently displayed img-txt pair.
  • Filter Pairs Changes:
    • New option to display only empty text files.
    • Use ! before the text to exclude any pairs containing that text.
    • Use + between text to include multiple strings when filtering.
    • Example: !dog + cat (remove dog pairs, display cat pairs)
  • Resize Images v1.01 Changes:
    • You can now choose image filetype for the resized output.
    • You can now set the Resize Condition to the following modes:
      • Upscale and Downscale, Resize the image to the new dimensions regardless of whether they are larger or smaller than the original dimensions.
      • Upscale Only, Resize the image if the new dimensions are larger than the original dimensions.
      • Downscale Only, Resize the image if the new dimensions are smaller than the original dimensions
  • Batch Tag Delete v1.07 Changes:
    • Significantly improved the speed tags are deleted.
    • You can now choose a new directory after opening the app.
  • Text Box changes:
    • The displayed text can now be refreshed from the right-click text_box context menu. (Hotkey: F5)
    • You can now select text and add it to the custom dictionary with the right click context menu.
  • Image info is now displayed above the current image (filename, resolution, size)
  • The last directory and index can now be quickly restored when launching the app. #21

• Fixed:

  • Fixed image scaling regression that prevented images from scaling to fill the frame.
  • Fixed issue where the image index would no longer sort correctly after files were added or removed from the working directory.
  • Fixed issue where a new text file wasn't being created when saving the text box.
  • Fixed Auto-Save not triggering when loading a new directory.

• Other changes:

  • "file_watcher" logic has been removed.
    • This was used to update the index or text box when changes occurred outside the app’s control.
    • It was easier to remove than fix the issues with threading...
  • Removed the following from the script. These changes do not affect exe users:
    • Automatic check and install of Pillow.
    • Automatic check and download of dictionary files.
    • threading and requests imports removed.
  • UI changes:
    • The directory button has been replaced with a text entry field, browse/open buttons, and a right-click context menu.
    • Added descriptions below each tool along the bottom toolbar.
    • The save button can now be set to double height by right clicking it, or from the Options menu. #19
    • And other small changes.
  • Max Image size values have been slightly reduced to improve performance when scaling the image within the UI.
  • "Delete Pair" keyboard shortcut changed from Del to Shift+Del. #19
  • You now have the flexibility to choose any combination from the available autocomplete dictionaries.
