introduction
--------------------------------------
MysticView is an easy-to-use picture viewer with modern
features, providing excellent display quality and great
flexibility.
features
--------------------------------------
- fully independent from native display hardware:
displays every picture on any screen mode, resolution and
color depth, including hicolor, truecolor and HAM.
- free scaling:
scales images to the required dimensions automatically, with
respect to the aspect ratios of both the screen and the
picture.
- display quality:
features highly elaborated color quantization and rendering.
floyd-steinberg dithering is available on displays with 256 or
less colors, and on HAM screens.
- user friendly:
opens a scalable (or borderless) window on the workbench, on
public or custom screens.
- heavily multithreaded:
uses massive internal multitasking for an user-compliant
behavior. the main window stays usable while loading, drawing,
copying, scanning, ...
- highly configurable:
has got innumerous configuration details to suit your personal
taste.

changes
---------------------------------------
since 0.98a
- fixed slideshow bug: when only one picture was selected
and slideshow plus loop mode was activated, the picture
was reloaded over and over again. reported by Joker.
- minor aspect problems fixed.
- the image aspect is now displayed in the information
textline.
- added JPEG saving. (no options yet. default saving
quality used. for registered users)
- fixed commandline options. reported by Kilyman.
- added autodither.
- fixed timing problems in slideshow mode.
- MysticView now requires mysticview.library.
- 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.
- fixed a memory allocation bug with the PUBSCREEN setting.
- many minor changes
- added AUTOHIDE.
- the picture aspect is now handled for thumbnails.
- added pubscreen select and default/public/custom menu items.
- added appicon
- added rotation. (preliminary. SHOWCURSOR and grid refresh doesn't
work corretly with the image being rotated)
- fixed install script for 030/FPU version. Reported by B. Murray.
- deleted pictures are now removed from the list and MysticView
advances to the next picture. requested by P. Dahlberg.
- added ROTATESTEP
- added DEFICON
- added CONFIRM. requested by P. Dahlberg.
- added HIDEWITHPICTURE.
- added ICONIFY.
- fixed PUBSCREEN setting. pubscreens have got precedence
over CUSTOMSCREEN now. reported by P. Habermehl and M.
Kilimann.
- fixed MysticView's new icon to use only required colors.
reported by M. Kilimann.
- looping and AUTOQUIT are now applied in general,
not only in slideshow mode. requested by P. Habermehl.
