—corrected accidental disabling of autokeys for all windows when i disabled it for filing
—Copying to the clipboard now works (but requires lots of memory to work)
b7
—Prefs window now floats above all others
—Apply button in prefs window
—Added Jade icons for BMP and TIFF file types
—Added JVWR->Jade tool for redirecting apps looking for JPEGViewer to Jade
b6
—Tweaked look of slideshow window/prefs
—Fixed printing size problem
—fixed minor problem when aborting slideshow when trying to close the window
—Disabled debugging code for imminent release
b5
—Tweaked size of push buttons in pref window
—Filing now ignores auto-keys
—aborting in slideshow no longer kills the window (dunno where this slipped in)
—Compiled in CW10
—GetInfo window now recognizes TIFF types
—When Filing, Duplicate file error replaced by several options (replace, open duplicate, pick new location)
b4
—Fixed resource not found printing problem
—Tweaked preview mode (now uses 16-bit pixmaps)
—Added preference "Don't re-scale previews"
If this option is checked, Jade will not attempt to squish images after decompression. This decreases initial display speed, especially on GIFs. On the other hand, it gets in the way if you like to tile your previews.
This option overrides the "Shrink images to screen" option, meaning that your previews can be larger than your images in another viewing mode (e.g., standard or full).
b3
—Fixed a few problems with 68K Tiff support
—Improved Tiff efficiency
—Fixed minor problem when updating a few (1-3) lines of an image.
—Index creation now works again (broke in last beta).
—Tweaked printing
—Tweaked aborting/window closing
—Fixed crash on PPC systems when there is no disk space
—Fixed crash which would occur if overflow window tried to appear for a second time
—slight improvement in display speed when images are on disk
—put number of files open in the about dialog
b2
—Tiff support
—Tweaked the Close Window behavior when images are still being decompressed
(sometimes the window wouldn't close)
—Fixed crash which could occur if you continuously aborted while decompressing an image
—Fixed crash which would occur when updating an image (a 3rd time)
—Fixed "Resource not found" error when printing
b1
—Fixed bug which prevented PICTs from being viewed in preview mode
—partial TIFF capability
—fixed bug in window handling code
—Improved decompression speed of large images (those that don't fit in memory)
—GetInfo window now has image's original size
—Added version string in About box
—Added Ability to change Finder labels
—Added Show/Hide All images
—"Serious" errors no longer prevent display of images (if they're there)
—Fixed bug in gamma fading code which made the screen gradually dim (permanantly)
Version 1.11 (not released)
b3
—Images now properly update when images are scrolled vertically when the Filing window is on top of it.
—Full preview capabilities (in the Standard File dialog).
In order to use these, you need quicktime to be installed.
—Ability to scroll by drag-clickling.
This only works in documents w/scroll bars (i.e. not in full screen or slideshow modes)
—Changed command-. to abort all threads (not just the front window's)
Command-, now aborts the front window's thread only.
—Scale indicator changed from fractional (e.g. 1/2) to percentage (e.g. 50%)
—Fixed crash which occured after the overflow window (the window which appears when you're trying to open too many images) appeared
—Filing window keys in the list are now aligned
—Can now have filing folders/apps without key assignment
Instead of typing a key, just click the mouse
—Fixed bug when editing filing folder/app alias
—Fading improvements
It's now an option which works both in the manual and automatic slideshow modes.
—Filing window size/location retains settings across sessions
—Ability to save defaults for index creation
—Slight speed increase for PowerPC versions
—Dumping images to disk no longer blocks (no more pauses for big images)
—Ability to Open Folder/Application in Filing Window list
—Ability to Load images from folder in Filing Window list
—"Full" viewing mode
This is similar to the "Standard" viewing mode which tries to pick an optimal image size which fits inside the screen, but
instead of fitting inside the screen, it picks the next optimal size up (which will be 2 times bigger).
—Ability to shrink images to the screen size.
This takes an image and shrinks it to the size of the screen (minus the menu bar). In order for images to take up the whole screen (no menu bar), images must be initally opened in the full screen mode (in preferences).
This also reduces the amount of disk space/RAM required to store an image after decompression and also speeds up display time in full screen/slideshow modes.
—Ability to keep images in memory
For people with lots of RAM. This makes display time much faster.
Version 1.1
—Image Filing
One small warning: If you move an image to a different volume, any aliases pointing to it will no longer work. There isn't much I can do about this. This is why when you drag a file between different volumes (in the Finder), it duplicates a file instead of moving it.
—Ability to create image indices
Currently, the only image format you can save it as is PICT. Various other programs (e.g., Photoshop, GifConverter, Debabelizer, etc..) can convert the image to JPG.
—Can now convert all images to one viewing mode
—GIF/PICT/BMP images can now be reduced to preview size
What's in the future (in order of likely implementation):
—finer control over slideshow timing
—ability to add and remove slides from slideshows
—image cataloging
—ability to save JPEG documents
—custom Finder icons for jpeg files
—zoom in/out
—drag and drop manager support
—Applescript support
—automatic image enhancement
