JPEG Saver 5.24.1

Another bugfix version of JPEG Saver. This time it is for a single bug that might not affect many people, but I would prefer to get this fix out now instead of waiting until I have some more substantial stuff done - that might take a while.

Previously on JPEG Saver

The one bug fixed here is that the “Previous image” option for multi-monitor displays was not working. It was broken by the changes I made in version 5.22 that mean JPEG Saver now stores a list of images to be displayed.

This actually means that the non-primary monitor(s) can display the previous image right from the start without waiting for the primary to display something - but it wasn't working. This version should fix that, though I'm still a bit unsure of the “Alternate/Random” change mode. I think it is probably working now, but it might just have been behaving every time I tested it.

SVGGraph 3.20

This version of SVGGraph ticks off something that has been on the to-do list since late 2019, so I'm glad to get it done. Especially because I had to learn or relearn some maths stuff to get it working.

Curved best-fit lines

I wasn't actually sure if this was a good idea or not - after all, I've already added support for curved line graphs. There is an important difference though: curved line graphs draw a curve that passes through all the points, whereas a curved best-fit line is a plot of the mathematical function that best matches the points.

Here's an example using the data from a previous graph that shows earthquake magnitudes with a curved best-fit line added in:

This proves nothing!

JPEG Saver 5.24

Here is yet another JPEG Saver release, coming out now because it has a couple of bugs fixed and a couple of useful extra features added too.

Windows are the eyes to the soul - wait, that's not right

The main new thing is this version is a command-line option. Oh, that's not very exciting, is it? Well, it's a command-line option that lets you run JPEG Saver in a fixed window that stays open until you close it, not like a screensaver at all. You will find a description and some examples on the command line options page.
