JPEG Saver 5.37
This version is a bit later than I had hoped. I've been trying to find and fix bugs, and one of them is still playing hard to find. I haven't been able to reproduce that one yet, so I thought I should release what I have done now.
So what's new?
I haven't just been fixing bugs, I did manage to add in a couple of new shortcut keys. The first one toggles between displaying only images, only video or both. This only works if video is enabled, but it starts off in video only mode if you have that option selected. The default key binding for this is 'Ctrl-V' - because 'V' is for video and there isn't much pasting in JPEG Saver.
JPEG Saver 5.36
This time I've made some changes that should be useful for at least some users. Or if not useful, they may at least be fun to try out.
In, out, shake it all about
I think someone once asked me to add zoom and pan controls to JPEG Saver, but at the time it wasn't something I thought would be easy or appropriate. Having already added rotation and flipping controls, zooming and panning controls now seem like obvious additions.
This time around I have implemented the controls for both images and videos. I was going to use the numeric keypad for the keyboard shortcuts, but I have already used that for other functions - so I've used a combination of the Control key and the WASD keys commonly used in games for the panning, with the 'E' key to zoom in and 'Q' key to zoom out.
JPEG Saver 5.35.1
I haven't found time to do the stuff I had planned for version 5.36, so here is 5.35.1, a small update that fills in a software pothole I left in version 5.35.
Let's go round again
I added support for flipping and rotating images in version 5.35, but since video works very differently I didn't get it working there. This version fixes that.
There were so many possible ways I could have got this working that I probably spent more time thinking about which was best than actually writing the code to do it.
