- YANV (Yet Another New Version...)
-
- -----------v1.03---------------
-
- Fixed problem with the Grayscale checkbox not being checked in the
- Decompress Options dialog.
-
- Reordered the menus slightly.
-
- Updated the Help.
-
- This is a completely new build using BC++ for OS/2. The resulting
- executable is about 60k smaller and I believe that it is also
- faster.
-
- -----------v1.02---------------
-
- Fixed a variety of little bugs that just didn't want to show up
- consistently.
-
- The progress monitor works correctly now. Really. 8^)
-
- There is now a checked menu item that toggles whether or not Image
- Archiver will get the width/height of each image file. Un-checking
- this menu item dramatically speeds up filling the container when
- dealing with large numbers of files.
-
- Fixed a problem (I hope) with accessing network drives when drive
- letters were skipped. i.e. if you had drives A, B, C, D, E, and G,
- then it would be impossible to select drive G from the directory
- dialog.
-
- -----------v1.01---------------
-
- Fixed the bug that caused many GIF picture dimensions to be displayed
- incorrectly and often caused Image Archiver to go into an infinite
- loop, locking up the WPS and needing a Ctrl-Esc.
-
- Changed the progress monitoring dialogs to be a little clearer. There
- is no 'Pass x/y' field anymore. The progress bar reflects the progress
- of the entire compress/decompress process for that file.
-
- Changed the priority of the decompress/compress threads slightly. It
- should get along with other apps a little better now. 8^)
-
- Made the menus a little more CUAish.
-
- This version also reflects a new build using the latest CSet/2 beta.
- So it should be a bit faster.
-
- -----------v1.00---------------
-
- Image Archiver v1.00 is finally here! No more BETA releases for this
- version will be released. This is it for now.
-
- For those of you who don't know, Image Archiver is a JPEG
- conversion/viewing utility with an informative user interface. You'll
- have to play with it to decide if you like it or not, but I would bet
- that you will. There is online help available that describes all of
- many the options available.
-
- When you start the program you are presented with two containers
- listing files in the selected directories. The directories are
- displayed directly above the container and can be changed by pressing
- the Dir button to the right of the READ-ONLY entry field. To see a
- list of JPEG files in the leftmost container, simply change to the
- directory where you JPEG files are stored and press the OK button and
- the container will be filled with a detailed list of the JPEG pictures
- in that directory. This may take some time if there are a lot of files
- in the directory. You can do the same to fill the other container with
- files of the other supported types. Currently Image Archiver v1.00
- supports GIF, Targa, and PPM files. It can convert between any of
- these formats and the JPEG image format.
-
- JPEG images may be viewed by simply double-clicking mouse button 1 on
- the desired image name. A window will open up once the file is decode
- and the image can be viewed.
-
- All other options are now contained in PopUp menus. By pressing mouse
- button 2 in either of the containers you will be presented with a menu
- showing what can be done to the selected files. There is one
- exception, the View menu option opens up a file dialog allowing you to
- select a JPEG file to view.
-
- There are now no known bugs. All processes may be safely canceled. I
- have noticed that some .GIF files report incorrect image dimensions.
-
- When you start up the program you are presented with the About dialog
- automatically. This is an unregistered user 'feature'. If you register
- it will go away. Registered users will will also receive a version of
- Image Archiver that supports adding/editing/deleting comments in JPEG
- files. This feature will allow you to add any descriptive text that
- you would like to any JPEG file. There are no other disabled features
- in the unregistered version.
-
- Enjoy and support the Shareware concept by registering this program if
- you use it. All you have to do is send $15 (US dollars) to the address
- below and you will receive the newest version of this software.
