JPEG Saver 4.1
Published
It has taken me a while longer than I had hoped, and it's not the same as I had expected, but JPEG Saver 4.1 is finally here. The most noticable change will be the "File" menu - you can now save and load different config files. People have been asking me for this for years, so I'm happy to have got around to it.
The next change, which is more significant but less obvious, is that this version is the first to use an SQLite database to store the lists of images and folders. This replaces the cache file and the memory- based image list that older versions used. It will allow me to add some more interesting features in the future, but for now it has made it easy for me to add three new change modes, Shuffled/Sequential, Shuffled/Shuffled and Chronological.
The final big change is that this version supports Unicode throughout. This means that anyone not using the Latin alphabet should be able to use JPEG Saver much more easily, assuming they can understand all the options on the dialog. The config file is now stored as UTF-8 to make this work while still being backwards compatible.
The new version is available from the downloads page. Some of the changes in this version are quite radical, so if you spot any bugs please let me know by emailing graham (at) goat1000.com.
Coming next... I'm not sure, but I'd quite like to have a play with WebGL. Watch this space...
