- MysticView history
-
-
- * 1.05
- - mysticview is freeware; updated texts and requesters
- accordingly.
-
- 1.04
-
- - slightly improved efficiency of the scanner
- - added %n placeholder in the PICFORMAT string
- for the picture's file format, as returned by
- the datatype.
- - updated and fixed documentation
-
- 1.03
- - new setting: SIMPLESCANNING. when activated, MysticView will
- add any scanned files to the filelist. no filetype detection
- takes place. later, when a file turns out to be not loadable
- as a picture, it will be silently removed from the list. this
- scanning mode is significantly faster than the default. note:
- this feature is still considered "beta" and only available
- via tooltypes.
- - supplied os3.5-icons in the "goodies" drawer.
-
- 1.02
- - CTRL-F-key now immediately switches to a preset, without opening
- a filerequester first.
-
- 1.01
- - when in fullscreen mode and with HIDEONCLOSE enabled, MysticView
- quitted when the invisible button in the screen's upper left
- was clicked. fixed.
- - added "Append Drag'n'Drop" option. when enabled, icons/drawers
- dragged onto MysticView's window will be added to the current
- list. tooltype is APPENDICONS.
- - slightly improved the example preset files.
-
-
- * 1.00
- - version number bumped
-
-
- 0.99h
- - v1.00 feature freeze.
- - menus are being restructured.
- - fixed a bug in the buffer size calculations which caused
- the background loader to run amok sometimes.
- - mysticview and all its libraries are now using v39 exec
- memory pools again.
- - improved the install script and supplied some configs.
- - neuralnet.library wasn't installed with earlier versions.
- fixed.
- - documentation updated and improved
- - an auto filerequester was opened even with filenames
- passed in the commandline. fixed.
- - added PICFORMAT setting. it allows to specify a format
- string for the picture info display. currently defined
- are %p - pathname, %f - filename, %w - width, %h - height,
- %d - depth. default "%f - %w×%h×%d".
- - fixed APPEND option.
- - MysticView and all libraries have been recompiled with
- higher optimization levels
- - added a lot of DirectoryOpus configuration hints and
- examples
- - when a loaded presetfile contained a new SORTMODE,
- MysticView did not immediately resort the list. fixed.
- - added a slightly updated version of MystiCube to the
- distribution
- - increased neural network training threshold
-
-
- 0.99g
- - fixed a bug in guigfx.library which caused MysticView
- to crash at exit, when the standard C= picture and ILBM
- datatypes were used for loading HAM pictures. thanks to
- Hexaae for the bug reports and debugging assistance.
- - the background loader has been rewritten from the
- scratch. the new loader is faster, and memory management
- is more efficient.
- - preloading (and caching) of multiple pictures is now
- supported. provided you have enough memory, MysticView
- can keep entire slideshows buffered in memory. Mysticview
- now reacts much better to skipping back and forwards in a
- picture list.
- this redesign also fixes a major bug (enforcer hits
- and crashes, when pictures were deleted from the
- list) and some minor problems.
- - added menu item "Scan Asynchronously" (corresponding
- tooltype is ASYNCSCANNING). the behavior of the background
- scanner is no longer dependent from the sortmode.
- - MysticView's multitasking is much nicer towards other
- applications now. all time-consuming jobs are running
- at the same priority. the default is 0 (if started from
- the workbench), or the same as of the shell process
- that launched MysticView. the PRIORITY setting has been
- removed. MysticView now works very comortable at high
- system load.
- - added GUI buttons for open, previous, next, slideshow,
- looping, etc. tooltype: SHOWBUTTONS. enabled by default.
- you may also use a set of your own buttons via the
- BUTTONPIC tooltype. a tiny animation of MysticView's
- logo has been included, too. the respective tooltype
- is ANIMPIC.
- - MysticView now offers to change the filename for already
- existing pictures that are to be copied or moved.
- - copying, moving and deleting do no longer work
- asynchronously. MysticView now waits for these operations
- to complete.
- - added sort criteria filesize, filedate, combined
- path+filename, and a reverse-sort option.
- - the picture-info textline contains more useful
- information, and it updates while scanning and loading.
- - added self-starting feature, as known from many text
- editors. if another MysticView is running, the commandline
- option APPEND passes specified pictures/paths/patterns
- to that instance. if no other MysticView is found, a new
- instance will be started.
- - shareware-nagging has been removed.
- - added menu item "Add Pictures..." to the current
- filelist.
- - added menu item "Add from List..." to the current
- filelist.
- - static-palette rendering gives better results
- (guigfx.library v15.2)
- - filerequester simplified: the default filename is now
- set to "#?", so committing "Okay" without selecting
- any files will include the entire directory's contents.
- - Added "First" function for skipping back to the
- first picture in a list. Skipping back stops a slideshow.
- - fixed a long-standing bug in mysticview.library that
- caused pictures to be rendered incompletely in slideshows.
- - the SLIDEDELAY tooltype setting is now measured in
- 1:10th of seconds, no longer in seconds.
- - added PIP feature. (in this context it has nothing to
- do with graphics card hardware). it's experimental -
- do not use it, it doesn't work very well together with
- opaque window sizing, thanks to these #?%&@! layer
- cliprects.
- - the neural network which tries to predict the user's
- desired displaymode has changed. it has got more brains
- now, and it differentiates more picture parameters,
- but it also requires more training. the network is now
- also recalled during window-resizing, thus MysticView
- may immediately switch the displaymode. this makes the AI
- feature a bit more transparent to the user, but also a
- bit more nasty. simply let the menu item 'Options/Learn'
- disabled if you think it's too confusing. recommended
- reading: configuration/AUTODISPLAYMODE
- - MysticView's commandline arguments are now sorted
- alphabetically. this might interfere with any particularly
- useful order, but at least you've got the chance to find
- something.
- - MysticView will never trash its window borders again, and
- this ugly window-border-refresh-maintenance-signalling-task
- is no longer needed and has been removed.
- - added SHOWARROW option. when enabled, MysticView draws
- small arrows at a picture's borders when it is not
- fully visible. enabled by default.
- - usability via keyboard has been improved. the space bar
- is now used for 'one-hand' control of slideshows, which
- is 'handy' for wanking over porn slides, for example. most
- important functions are now available on the numeric
- keypad.
- - changed qualifiers for scrolling via keyboard. CTRL scrolls
- by 100%, SHIFT by 10%, no qualifier scrolls by 1% per stroke.
- - "Reset Display Settings" now reacts instantly, not only
- when a new picture is getting displayed
- - MysticView now instantly reacts to changes of the sort mode
- and sorts the picture list while scanning/loading/viewing.
- - the option KEEPIMAGE (i.e. keep the current image while
- another one is being loaded) is obsolete and has been
- removed.
- - MysticView now correctly displays loading errors, and
- automatically retries loading after flushing the cache
- when the reason for failure was a lack of memory.
- - new default background color.
- - HAM artifacts have been reduced to an absolute minimum
- (mysticview.library v4).
- - added menu item "Remove". as the name suggests,
- this function simply removes a picture from a list
- (without deleting or moving)
- - added menu item "Save List as..." for saving the current
- list of pictures as a listfile.
- - lists are identified by a tooltype in their respective
- icon: "MYSTICVIEW_LISTFILE=YES". you can drag'n'drop
- listfiles to MysticView's window or appicon now.
- - workbench-integration has been improved even further:
- you can start MysticView by double-clicking
- preset and listfile icons, and even both at the same
- time. (e.g. select a listfile, hold the shift key, and
- doublelick a presetfile - or the other way round.) you
- may also drag'n'drop listfile and preset icons on
- MysticView's window (or appicon) at the same time, or
- mix preset icons with pictures/directories/volumes.
- - the displaymodes "keep aspect max", "onepixel" and
- "fit to window" are no longer available in the menus.
- the remaining items have been renamed to
- "scale with aspect" and "display 1:1 pixel" (the last
- one corresponds to the IGNOREASPECT mode).
- - the option HIDEWITHPICTURE has been removed. MysticView
- no longer flushes the current (and buffered) pictures
- from memory when it gets iconified. scanning and
- preloading now silently continue in the background.
- - added an optional picture filter in filerequesters
- (tooltype: FILTERPICTURES). requested by hexaae.
- - requesting the previous picture stops a slideshow.
- - added DEFAULTTOOL setting
- - the REJECTPATTERN argument is now also used in
- filerequesters, not only applied to the picture scanner.
- - added tooltyoe items for a view's text and highlighting
- colors (TEXTCOLOR, MARKCOLOR)
- - added display refresh smoothing (SMOOTHDISPLAY). it will
- interpolate modifications on the display (only zooming
- and scrolling. rotating is not supported).
- - added tooltypes HIDEONCLOSE and HIDEONESCAPE.
- - the memory consumption for opaque-refreshing of
- truecolor pictures on non-truecolor screens has been
- reduced to only 25%, but its short-time peak memory
- consumption is even worse than before.
- - the picture cursor no longer trashes the window borders
- when a picture is rotated, nor does it overwrite
- the infotext. the picture cursor is no longer overwritten
- by the rendered picture - it's visible all the time now.
- - the cursor was placed incorrectly when the picture was
- rotated and zoomed. fixed.
- - some rare visual artifacts have been removed,
- such as background areas using a deallocated pen
- - with STARTPIC=none, MysticView did not always update its
- display correctly. fixed.
- - the former option PRELOAD is obsolete and has been removed.
- the loader is configured with the new setting BUFFERPERCENT.
-
-
- * 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.

- - 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.

- - 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.

- - 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

- retry, cancel, or retry using defaults.
- - added LISTFILE commandline option. it allows to specify a
- 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
