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.
JPEG Saver 5.35
I took a long, hard look at my to-do list after releasing the last version. A lot of the things on it now are quite complicated and would justify a version 6 of JPEG Saver, but there are still some things that I can do without too much trouble...
Flipping HEIC again
I've used the pun before, but this time it is because I have added keyboard shortcuts for flipping and rotating the main inage. This works by reloading the image and overriding the flipping and rotation setting that would normally come from the EXIF orientation field.
That means it could be slow if your images are large, but you will not lose resolution when the image is repeatedly switched between portrait and landscape.
