Version 2.1.2 of JPEG Saver fixes a bug that prevented the images being displayed - all you would see would be the "Finding images..." text bouncing around the screen. Oops. I've also fixed a bug in the installer, where configuring JPEG Saver could make it sluggish or even crash.
In other news, you can now double-click on an entry in the folders tab to enable/disable it, and adding folders to the list should be much more responsive.

The new timer in JPEG Saver 2.1 seems to be a bit buggy - version 2.1.1 reverts to using the Windows timer. If the blocky-fading transitions are crashing or the delay between images is totally wrong, this version is for you.

JPEG Saver 2.1 is here, and it contains a whole load of changes. The only really visible change is a new background mode, "Pile," which leaves the previous image on the screen and displays the new image over the top of it. The other changes are a couple of bugfixes, a HUGE rewrite to the code that decides where everything goes and how big it should be, and a new timer that should be a bit more responsive than the old one.
These latter changes are required for what I am going to be working on next: more and better text options, an optional clock that will update between images, and being able to control all these things from the dialog.

I'm finally releasing the "small utility" I mentioned below. It's called Shuffler and it will save and restore window positions and sizes. There are plenty of other utilities around that do a similar job, but after trying a few and not liking any of them I decided I should write my own. You can get it from the downloads page. Then when you don't like it, you can write your own too.
This release is also the first since I upgraded my compiler from Visual C++ 6 to Visual C++.NET 2003, so I'm not expecting Shuffler to work on Windows 95. Is anyone still using Windows 95? If you are, WHY?

JPEG Saver 2.0.4 - considering it's been three months since the last version, it doesn't seem like a lot has changed. I've changed the way transitions work, added a few new transitions, fixed a few bugs and added some support for systems with multiple monitors. Hopefully I'll find some time to start work on the bigger changes soon.
