Imgview 2.0
Description
Lister plugin for the Total Commander file manager (image viewer for JPG files and 20 other image file types)• Supported image file types: ANI, BMP, CUR, EMF, EPS, GIF, ICO, JPEG, JPG, PCX, PIC, PNG, PSD, PSP, PSPIMAGE, SCR, SGI, TGA, THM, TIF and WMF (WMF safety gap taken care of)
• Rules for automatic resizing of images to fit the viewer window can be selected independently for images which are either too small or too large
• Optional automatic orientation of images according to the orientation information contained in the Exif meta data (above ca. 4 megapixels image size somewhat time consuming)
• Optional anti-aliasing (suppression of moiré effects with down scaled pictures)
• Loading speed of JPG files improved by a factor of 3 to 4 if compared to version 1.0
• Easy copying of images to the clipboard (EMF and WMF as a vector graphic and as a bitmap, all other image file types as a bitmap only)
• Easy printing of images (user-defined printer page layout)
• Supported languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish and Swedish (derived from the language selected in Total Commander)
• From Total Commander version 6.5 onwards simplified installation by double clicking the download file ImgView.zip
What’s new
------------------------------------------------------------
ImgView.wlx V 1.0 2006-03-15 (C) M. Diegelmann
------------------------------------------------------------
2006-01-19 First publication of ImgView beta release.
Supported image file types: BMP, EMF, ICO, JPG
and WMF.
2006-03-15 Worst bugs eliminated. Supported image file
types extended to: BMP, EMF, EPS, GIF, ICO, JPG,
PCX, PIC, PNG, PSD, PSP, SCR, SGI, TGA, TIF and
WMF. (Acknowledgements to Mike Lischke for
providing the source code of his GraphicsEx
library.)
2006-04-03 Printing of images implemented.
2006-06-16 Publication of ImgView on Christian Ghisler's
official Total Commander 'Addons/Plugins'
website.
2006-03... Language support extended to English, German,
French, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Swedish,
Dutch. (Acknowledgements to Gabi Müller, Stefano
Bertolucci, Anitzia Solis-Fuentes, Ola Montan,
Pieter Hoogenboom, Paul van der Heyden, and
Elmar Junker.)
2006-11-15 Printer bug fixed. (Crashed if no printer is
installed.)
2006-12-29 Workaround for INI file bug. (Crashed if TC had
been installed to the 'Program Files' directory
and if the user didn't have administrative
rights.)
2006-12-29 Workaround for TIF bug. (Crashed with some TIF
format versions.) Support of TIF files compress-
ed with 'CCIT Group 4 Fax' will be postponed to
a later version of ImgView.
2007-01-11 Bilingual error messages problem fixed.
2007-01-11 Image files which are in use by another process
are now still accessible to ImgView (however, at
the expense of the possible occurrence of an
exception if such a file is modified while being
read by ImgView).
2007-01-11 INI file workaround (see 2006-12-29) replaced by
saving this file to the user specific APPDATA
path if available. This feature will become
absolutely essential with the Windows Vista
operating system.
2007-01-18 If the Windows XP style is selected the checked/
unchecked state of menu items with glyphs is not
visibly discernible as it is when using the
Windows classic style (which I do). Bug fixed by
replacing these nice little glyphs by the good
old check mark in case the Windows XP style is
detected. (Sorry but that's penalty you will
have to pay for using this silly candy style XP
look!)
2007-01-18 Display of ImgView error messages made optional.
("Show ImgView error messages" menu item added.)
2007-08-10 Support of THM image file type added.
(In reality these THM thumbnail files created by
Canon cameras for each AVI videoclip are nothing
else but ordinary JPG image files.)
2007-08-11 Support of CUR (cursors) and ANI (animated
cursors) image file types added. (Display of
animated cursors will only be static.)
2007-08-15 Support of JPEG image file type added. JPEG
(being just an alias for JPG) and JPG both use
the same encoding.
2007-09-15 Option for automatic image orientation added
(according to the "orientation" tag in the Exif
meta data).
2008-03-04 EMF and WMF images are now copied to the clip-
board in two formats: as a vector graphic (as
before) and as a bitmap (new feature).
------------------------------------------------------------
ImgView.wlx V 2.0 2009-01-10 (C) M. Diegelmann
------------------------------------------------------------
2009-01-10 GIF support extended to animated GIF (using
Anders Melander's GifImage library, adapted
to Borland Delphi 7 and currently maintained
by Finn Tolderlund).
2009-01-10 Faster JPEG loading using the Intel JPEG Lib-
rary IJL15.dll.
2009-01-18 Support of PSPIMAGE image file type extension
added. PSPIMAGE (being just an alias for PSP)
and PSP both use the same encoding.
2009-11-26 Optional anti aliasing added.
