Here is a list of features that are new in PMView 0.92.
1. Built-in Screen Capture that lets you capture a selected window, the
interior of a window, the whole screen, or a selected area of the
screen.
2. New command line option /SHOrtfileretry that lets you use PMView to view
images while they're being downloaded via FTP, FTP-PM, C-Kermit, nFTP,
LiveWire 2.2, and many other programs. (Any program should work as long
as it permits read sharing and writes the image sequentially.) If you
add a timeout value to this flag, you can also use it to view POV-Ray
images while they're being rendered!
3. TAP Support for LiveWire 3.0 and other terminal emulators that support
LiveWire TAP. This will allow progressive display of images as they're
downloaded. (In order to use this feature, you'll need to get the latest
release of LiveWire. ZOC will also support TAP in a future version.)
4. New Progressive Loading option, on by default (setting is on the
"Loading" page in PMView's notebook). This is useful for viewing files
while they're being downloaded or created, or for seeing file
interlacing.
5. Read and write support for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files.
6. Read and write support for IFF (Electronic Arts) files.
7. Read and write support for MSP (Microsoft Paint) files.
8. Target directory for file conversions can now be specified on the
"Directories" page in PMView's options notebook.
9. Separate option for confirm on slideshow save.
10. You can now toggle the visibility of hidden files in the FOC
(View->Hidden Files)
11. You can toggle the display of Longnames and Hidden directories in the
directory box (in the File Open and File Save dialogs).
12. The File Revert command has been changed to a File Recall conditional
cascade that remembers the last 8 files
13. Each drive can have different view settings in the FOC.
14. There are new FOC options that let you specify whether to create
thumbnails when saving and converting files.
15. New, more OS/2-like mini icons in the FOB drives combo. PMView now also
has separate icons for CD-ROM, 3.5" disk, and removable media (disk
drive icon was used for these in PMView 0.90).
16. GIF and TIFF-LZW are now licensed from Unisys.
17. There are new GIF save options: Version, Interlace, Transparency, and
Background. These can be very helpful when creating Web pages.
18. There is a new JPEG save option: Progressive JPEG
19. There are new TGA save options: RightToLeft, TopToBottom, and
InterlaceType.
20. New TIFF save options: Compression, Photometric, and
Strip size (Compression: [None, Packbits, CCITTRLE, CCITTFAX3,
CCITTFAX4, and LZW], CCITTFAX3 options: [2D-Encoding, Fillbits,
Uncompressed], CCITTFAX4 options: [Uncompressed], LZW options:
[Horizontal differencing predictor], Photometric: [White is Min, and
Black is Min], Strip size: [4, 8, 16, and 32 kB])
21. PNG Save options: Interlace, Histogram, Time, Transparency, and
Background. These can be helpful when creating Web pages.
