Welcome to Goat 1000 - this is where you'll find some of the bits and pieces of software that I cobble together for fun. Please feel free to download them and try them out. All this stuff is freeware, no guarantee that it will do anything, etc. (though if it does fail to do anything, please let me know!)

SVGGraph 3.6
SVGGraph 3.6 is a fairly small update, with a few fixes, a couple of useful extra options and one new feature that I plan to expand upon in future versions.
Multi-level axis division labels
This is the new feature, something I have actually been thinking about for
quite a long time. It is enabled with the new axis_levels_h or
axis_levels_v options, along with some method of providing the text
for the new labels.
JPEG Saver 5.8
So here it is, after years of looking at the word “video” on the to-do list and deciding it sounded too much like hard work: version 5.8.
Video Killed the Radio Star
Yes, version 5.8 does add support for loading and playing videos. The main tab in the config dialog has a checkbox to enable loading video files and a button to take you to a dialog to configure what happens next.
If you just enable the main video option and disable the others, JPEG Saver will load the first frame of the video and use it like any other image type. If all your videos fade in from black that could be a bit boring, so I might have to improve that in the future.
JPEG Saver 5.7.1
Just a quick bugfix release for JPEG Saver this time, fixing some code that I added in version 5.7 that interacted with some other new code and meant JPEG Saver could crash.
The crashing was caused by JPEG Saver attempting to load images that don't exist (because of the new option that keeps the old database for a while) and then trying to display the size of the non-existent file. The file size token code was using a function that throws an exception when the file doesn't exist, which made JPEG Saver crash. I've replaced it with some code that won't crash, just return a file size of 0.
Another minor update is to the file size (again) and the two memory size tokens from the process info item. They were displaying some extra trailing spaces after the text, so I have cleaned that up. The only other change in this version is updating the WebP library to version 1.0.3.
