JPEG Saver 5.34

Published

Another new version of JPEG Saver without much new stuff in it, but it does have a couple of useful features added.

AVIF by magic...

Adding AVIF image support was pretty simple once I had figured out how to compile dav1d - the libheif library does all the hard work, and JPEG Saver was already using it for HEIC images.

Open with...

The interactive options dialog now has a new button in it called “Edit apps…” which lets you set up applications that will be used for opening files from the screensaver. If you don't set up any applications, then JPEG Saver will continue opening files using the default Windows applications the same way it did before.

Is that it?

There is also a fix to the desktop helper, making the taskbar icon's double-click action and menu options work again. When I removed the old launcher app that was being identified as a trojan I forgot that the desktop helper runs itself for those actions, and didn't update it to check if that was happening.

Apart from that, I spent quite a while trying to get frame-stepping working for videos. I got stepping forwards partially working, but backwards was hopeless. In the end I decided that the video framework JPEG Saver is using just isn't any good for that and took the code back out. I might have another look at it one day, but probably not any time soon.
