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.

JPEG Saver 5.34

Another new version of JPEG Saver without much new stuff in it, but it does have a couple of useful features added.

AVIF by magic...

Adding AVIF image support was pretty simple once I had figured out how to compile dav1d - the libheif library does all the hard work, and JPEG Saver was already using it for HEIC images.

Open with...

The interactive options dialog now has a new button in it called “Edit apps…” which lets you set up applications that will be used for opening files from the screensaver. If you don't set up any applications, then JPEG Saver will continue opening files using the default Windows applications the same way it did before.
