1.2.50 JPEGView - Cherry Picks

Changes

• Free up F1 combos (i.e. ALT, SHIFT, CTRL +F1) for hotkey usage. Leaving only F1 to show help popup.
• Various cherry picks from upstream. E.g.:
  • Support for modern RAW images, PSD images, more EXIF info, and image library updates
  • Always on top upon startup

Follow-up

• Fix failure when looping back on certain animated AVIFs.

Download

• JPEGView.zip - full, portable package, you may unzip and run from.
  • If JPEGView can't run, move the (VCRedist) DLLs in extras folder out, alongside JPEGView.exe, and it should work.
• JPEGView-less-config.zip - for updating existing installation; just unzip and replace EXE & DLLs.
  • Merge any new config option(s) yourself.
• Auto-built JPEGView*-Setup.msi installer
  • With option for the minimal set of VCRedist DLLs (<2MB) needed by AVIF/JXL. OR you may install the full set from Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 (~24 MB installer).

1.2.45.2 JPEGView: Reverse Slideshow

Slideshow can now be reversed.

• Hotkey: SHIFT+R (mapped to new 'toggle slideshow direction' command# 7398; change it in KeyMap.txt).
  • Bug fix (after tag): left arrow correctly changes to previous photo when in reverse slideshow.

1.2.45 JPEGView - Toasts, QOI

This mod is mainly about slideshow and ease of use changes.
And most importantly, providing pre-built executable for >= Win 7 64-bit.

Along the way, incidental bite-sized feature requests may be added =)

About

• Android-style toasts. E.g. to inform of slideshow play/pause, speed increase/decrease.
• Toggle ascending/descending sorting by pressing the same hotkey for sorting mode.
• Setting MinFilesize > 0 enables hiding of small images. Now, auto-disable it temporarily if 1st image opened is small (< MinFilesize), so as to view that image as intended.
• Simplified KeyMap.txt format with direct hotkey to command ID mapping. No need for extra intermediate #define declarations.
  • Old format is still supported; but will not be compatible with new upstream format.
  • Use ConvertKeyMap tool to make one-off conversion if desired.
• Changed: no longer stays (stuck) on bad image when in slideshow.
• Various cherry picks from upstream. E.g. : QOI image read/write support, ICC profile, MSI build to not wrongly install to x86 folder in x64 OS.

Added later:

• Bug fix: When in same folder level mode, no longer get stuck at last images of the folders, after one round of all folders.
• Revert setting: FolderNavigation=LoopFolder. Use ALT+F7 to toggle to Auto mode, and vice versa instead.
• Add hotkeys for changing gamma (brightness) for keyboards without numpad.
• Increase to 3 modes of transparency (toggled via SHIFT+V) so we've a convenient and additional inverse TransparencyColor blend. The 3 modes are:
  • Blend using TransparencyColor setting (e.g.: black)
  • Checkerboard
  • Blend using inverse of TransparencyColor (e.g.: inverse of black is white)

Download

• JPEGView.zip - full, portable package, you may unzip and run from.
  • If JPEGView can't run, move the (VCRedist) DLLs in extras folder out, alongside JPEGView.exe, and it should work.
• JPEGView-less-config.zip - for updating existing installation; just unzip and replace EXE & DLLs.
  • Merge any new config option(s) yourself.
• Auto-built JPEGView*-Setup.msi installer
  • With option for the minimal set of VCRedist DLLs (<2MB) needed by AVIF/JXL. OR you may install the full set from Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 (~24 MB installer).

1.1.42.2 JPEGView Merge - HEIC/AVIF

Basically, this mod is mainly about slideshow and ease of use changes, besides AVIF image (subset) read/write support.
And most importantly, providing pre-built executable for >= Win 7 64-bit.

Along the way, incidental bite-sized feature requests may be added =)

About

• Merge in qbnu's HEIC/AVIF image support
  • libavif+aom will still be used for reading/writing animated AVIF, and writing to AVIF
  • exclude upstream's (WIP?) workflow changes

New Changes (after tag)

• Optimize transparency blending loop. (Previous MSI)
• During slideshow, block screensaver. (Updated MSI)

Download

(with HEIC and fuller AVIF support, and VCRedist DLLs)

• JPEGView.zip - full, portable package, you may unzip and run from.
  • If JPEGView can't run, move the DLLs in extras folder out, alongside JPEGView.exe, and it should work.
• JPEGView-less-config.zip - for updating existing installation; just unzip and replace EXE & DLLs.
  • Merge any new config option(s) yourself.
• Auto-built JPEGView*-Setup.msi installer

1.1.42.1 JPEGView Merge + ICO - Happy Chinese New Year

Basically, this mod is mainly about slideshow and ease of use changes, besides AVIF image (subset) read/write support.
And most importantly, providing pre-built executable for >= Win 7 64-bit.

Along the way, incidental bite-sized feature requests may be added =)

About

• Mostly sync'd with upstream
• View ICO icons
  • View the largest icon in it
    • Uses WIC, so update/replace your WICLoader.DLL.
      And make sure your JPEGView.ini WIC setting is updated to include '*.ico' like so:

    FilesProcessedByWIC=*.wdp;*.hdp;*.jxr;*.ico
    

  • Tip: Press ALT+M to unhide and view your icon as it is usually too small (file size) and filtered out
• Change to movie/slideshow icon to represent this mod
• Portability update - Pack with missing subset of VCRedist DLLs.
  • IMPORTANT for fresh PCs: JXL & AVIF needs Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 (~24 MB). You may either install that, or use the included necessary subset of DLLs in JPEGView.zip (extras folder) or JPEGView.Setup.msi installer.

Download

(with ICO support, and VCRedist DLLs)

• JPEGView.zip - full, portable package, you may unzip and run from.

  • Merge any new config option(s) yourself.
• [New] Auto-built JPEGView.Setup.msi installer

1.1.41.5 JPEGView Hippety Hop

A few more changes to make slideshow less 'pausey'.

• ALT+<Left/Right> to jump back/forward by 100 images. (somewhat for this)
• Jumping to image in a different folder no longer pauses slideshow. Go back 1 image too.
• Default to FolderNavigation to LoopSubFolders (loop into sub-folders as well), instead of LoopFolder (stay in same folder).
• sync upstream patch: don't try to "Explore" path if clipboard image.

New changes (after tag); hence, JPEGView*.ZIPs contains newer content than source archives.

• '-'/'=' (i.e. the ones between numbers and backspace) to zoom out/in for keyboards without Numpad -/+ keys.
  • Also update hotkeys for colour et al adjustments.
• CTRL+ALT+<Left/Right arrow>: Jump to previous/next folder. (for this)
• Sync from upstream
  • New: always on top (SHF+F11), hide title bar (SHF+F12)
  • incomplete: DefaultSelectionMode - may remove in future if conflict with expanded panning mod
• Selection mode:
  • Navigation panel’s zoom mode button has been changed to selection mode.
    • CTRL+Z to toggle (left mouse drag) zoom mode instead.
  • Deconflict: Select & zoom modes toggle each other off.
  • Selection box same as image aspect ratio (partial for this]
    • Don't silent abort crop when selection box is out of image bounds.
      • When no aspect ratio is specified, just adjust automatically and crop.
      • When aspect ratio is specified, ask user whether to crop as is, or adjust then crop, or abort.
    • one of number 1 to 9: when in selection mode, selects these aspect ratio:
      1. 1= Free
      2. 2= Same as image
      3. 3= 3:2
      4. 4= 4:3
      5. 5= 5:4
      6. 6= 16:9
      7. 7= 16:10
      8. 8= Fixed size
      9. 9= User predefined in settings
• Wrap backwards. Allowed for LoopSameFolderLevel & LoopSubFolders too, not just LoopFolder.
  • bug fix or something. Even if WrapAround=false (for LoopFolder), don't get stuck at initial image in the middle of folder; allow navigating to first image in the folder and get stuck there without wrapping around instead. For now, LoopSameFolderLevel & LoopSubFolders should wrap around regardless of the setting.
  • bug fix: more tidying up
• Slideshow fixes:
  • slideshow transition no longer messed up. Use same pan-zoom adjustment calculations for both OnPaint and PaintToDC.
  • slideshow should no longer get stuck at animated images.
• File filters (configure in JPEGView.ini)
  • Hide small images below MinFilesize (default: 30K). ALT+M to toggle and reload.
  • Hide hidden images. ALT+H to toggle and reload. (mainly for above, but incidentally for this)
    • hide hidden folder too, unless it is the initial folder
    • setting is HideHidden ... now it really is used >.<"

TODOs?:

• Filter: Show newest images only? Last week, or pick from a calendar? Need some fancy calendar widget perhaps.

1.1.41.4 JPEGView Pan + AVIF + JXL (Stable)

• Ease of use changes
  • Default to panning mode instead, of pesky selection mode
    • Pan by left mouse drag, or SHIFT+[arrow keys] (changed to: more panning, scales with zoom) or ALT+SHIFT+[arrow keys] (regular fine grain panning)
    • 'Re-enabled' panning, which was somehow hidden and rendered unusable by various issues.
      • Can now pan till only 1 pixel is left on any edge.
      • if can't find your out of view image, try zooming, then use the zoom mini-map to pan the image back into view.
  • Dedicated Selection mode is now toggled by 'S' hotkey.
    • This remaps the rarely(?) used 'save/delete param DB' thingy to ALT+S.
    • Selection can now be made regardless of zoom. Previously, selection is disallowed when image is larger than view window.
    • Holding CTRL key to force selection is no longer used.
  • 'Z' hotkey for quick zoom to selection.
    • Remapped random sort to ALT+Z.
  • Increase JPEGView.ini's MouseWheelZoomSpeed to 1.5 (from 1.0) for larger/quicker/easier zoom.
• Synchronize to original, up to ~8 Jan 2023
  • View JXL images, etc.
• View image transparency (for this, that)
  • Toggle transparent image background between checkerboard pattern (default) and solid background colour, via hotkey: SHIFT+V.
  • Add blend transparency to all image types/load methods.
    • Just added to TGA & TIFF - these use GDI's 'HatchStyleLargeCheckerBoard' pattern, which is actually smaller. And use KeuMap.txt's TransparencyColor instead of BackgroundColor.
  • Fix: read JPEGView.ini's TransparencyColor as RGB; as it is inverted (BGR) in internal use.
• View/write (most common) AVIF, including animated. (See prior beta release notes for details).
• Update your KeyMap.txt for all the new hotkeys!

Afternote (dev note): the source archives are missing the jxl binaries. Also have not tried building those "extras"/libs, so if you're trying to build them and encounter issues, grab them from original git instead.

1.1.41.4 JPEGView Pan (beta) + AVIF + JXL

[Obsolete] Use the latest release instead; that has the zoom to selection fixed.

• Ease of use changes

    • Fixed viewing of higher bpp (e.g. 10bpp) AVIF images. Via downgrade to 8bpp.
    • Fixed opening of AVIF image with unicode filenames (standalone JPEGView.exe only for testing).
    • known issues:
      • fail to load 'crop' images. Likely owing to BMFF parse failure.
      • sometimes switching images rapidly to a AVIF causes load failure of the image.

1.1.41.2 JPEGView custom slideshow interval

Slideshow mod

• Add custom slideshow interval configuration 'SlideShowCustomInterval' in JPEGView.ini. (for this)
  • Activate via context menu, or ALT+SHF+R hotkey.
  • Feature may not really be required as slideshow of arbitrary interval can be launched via /slideshow commandline option.
• Update readme with info on /slideshow commandline option, etc.

Slideshow Custom Interval

Configure slideshow to run at custom interval via SlideShowCustomInterval setting in JPEGView.ini.

• Default: 5mins
• Specify in secs, mins or hrs; default unit: seconds.
  • E.g.: 0.1 = 0.1s = 10fps, 1s = 1sec = 1fps, 5m = 5 mins, 1.5h = 1.5hrs

Can be activated by ALT+SHF+R hotkey.

Alternatively, you may use the /slideshow commandline option to specify arbitrary intervals too; so this feature may not really be needed?

Commandline

commandline: JPEGView.exe [optional image/path] /slideshow <interval in secs>
Interval must be integer >= 1, or defaults to 5s; no upper limit.

• E.g.: JPEGView.exe c:\image.png /slideshow 1
  starts JPEGView in slideshow with image switching at 1s intervals, beginning with given image or folder.
• E.g.: JPEGView.exe /slideshow 2
  (modified in mod) starts JPEGView in image selection mode, and then starts slideshow with image switching at 2s intervals. (Previously when an image/path is not specified, /slideshow is ignored)
