JPEG Saver 5.36
Published
This time I've made some changes that should be useful for at least some users. Or if not useful, they may at least be fun to try out.
In, out, shake it all about
I think someone once asked me to add zoom and pan controls to JPEG Saver, but at the time it wasn't something I thought would be easy or appropriate. Having already added rotation and flipping controls, zooming and panning controls now seem like obvious additions.
This time around I have implemented the controls for both images and videos. I was going to use the numeric keypad for the keyboard shortcuts, but I have already used that for other functions - so I've used a combination of the Control key and the WASD keys commonly used in games for the panning, with the 'E' key to zoom in and 'Q' key to zoom out.
The zoom range is limited from up to , but I haven't limited the panning controls. If the image disappears off the side of the screen it's your own fault.
On the other hand, I did think it would be useful to add a transformation reset control as well, so now Control-Z will undo the rotation, flipping, zoom and panning changes to return the image or video to its default position.
The zoom in and out controls for static images work by reloading the image with new scaling settings, so it can be quite slow and use a lot of memory when zooming in. The pan controls redraw the existing image from memory, and the controls for video just adjust the scaling and position of the video rendering geometry.
