JPEG Saver 5.47
Since I added animated GIF support in the last version, I thought I should add support for other types of animated image next. So that's mostly what this version is about.
APNG but not MNG
Version 5.47 supports playing APNG files - these are PNG files with some extra data and more frames to make them animated. APNG is a bit better than animated GIF really, since PNG files support a full alpha channel and animated GIF only supports a single transparent colour.
JPEG Saver 5.46
The last update wasn't very exciting, so I was determined to do something useful this time. To that end, I'm happy to add something that I have been asked about a few times.
G as in gabble, or G as in giraffe?
However you choose to pronounce it, JPEG Saver now supports playing animated GIFs if you have video enabled. Most of the video controls will work, though you can't stop the animation looping. The seek controls work, but since animated GIFs are usually quite short I don't think seeking is all that important.
JPEG Saver 5.45
A small update this time, mainly because it is the first to be built using Visual Studio 2026 and I wanted to make sure everything works properly.
Background check
Apart from updating all the libraries that have had updates since the last release, I have only added one new thing to this version. Now when you add folders to the list they are scanned for files in the background worker thread. That's it.
