JPEG Saver 4.6

Published

If I've done everything right, it won't look like much has changed in this new version of JPEG Saver. Internally, I've changed loads of the code in just about every part of the configuration dialog. This is because I have been stuck using an old version of the compiler to build JPEG Saver and these changes will make it possible for me to upgrade to a newer version.

Apart from the dialog changes, I've found and fixed a very annoying bug in the installer which would make it look like JPEG Saver was installed and working properly, but it wouldn't start up. The Control Panel would happily preview the screen saver, but when the time was right for it to start automatically, nothing would happen. The lesson here is don't quote the screen saver filename in the .theme file.

One big change I've made in this version is to add some command-line options to allow power users more control over where JPEG Saver keeps its config files. People have been asking me for something like this for a long time, so I hope it helps.

I've also added a couple of new transitions because they're fun to write. "Peel" pulls the old image off of the new one and "Rebuild" explodes the old image and reforms with the new one.

The updated installer file is available from the downloads page. The JPEG Saver and JPEG Saver 4.x pages are both still here, but I've been reorganising them a bit. I plan to put more of the JPEG Saver documentation on here at some point too.
