JPEG Saver 5.41

This is a smaller update - I had hoped to get more done, but things turned out to be trickier than I had expected. There are a couple of awkward bugs fixed too.

Revisiting the logo item

I'm not good at naming things, and "logo" doesn't really describe what the item does very well at all. I might rename it to "overlay image" or something more useful in a future version.

The actual change I did make in this version was to add support for loading a logo image from a folder of images instead of just using a single image. This uses a similar method to background images, adding the folder to the database to be scanned at startup.

JPEG Saver 5.40

This is another release that improves things without adding much. It fixes a couple of bugs too.

Better logging

Logging was something that JPEG Saver could do, but it was very limited and inefficient. For this version I have made it more efficient and more capable, so I can actually make more use of it in the future.

Because of this, I have added the existing logging options that were previously only available by editing the config file into the debug dialog. You can set the log file location, enable logging of image/video loading and transitions, and toggle logging altogether.

JPEG Saver 5.39

It's only been a couple of weeks since version 5.38 was released, but version 5.39 fixes some quite annoying bugs and ticks off an item that has been on my to-do list for about two years.

Background information

The background modes that use a folder of images have been getting more and more clunky over the years, and version 5.38 made things worse. I decided the best way to fix it was to address item #618 from my issue tracking software: “Store background images in main database”.*

In previous versions JPEG Saver was scanning the background images folder into a temporary database at each startup. It was slow and inefficient, especially if you had a lot of background images. Version 5.38 made things worse somehow, though I didn't waste any time trying to figure out why and went straight to the long term solution.
