- Viewing and Editing</font></h2>
- </div>
- <ul>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added a "Fit to
- Height" in <b>Options | Viewing | Window</b> and <b>View | Zoom</b>.
- This option works well for side-scrolling panoramic images.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added the ability to
- display a loupe (magnifier) for viewing details within images (<b>View | Loupe</b>).</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">View window status bar
- enhancements (the MOD entry replaced with several icons relating to image
- status).</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Improved panning/scrolling
- speed for images zoomed to 10/20/25/50/100%.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Image editing now comes
- with multiple undo/redo capability, limited by available memory. You can set
- a specific memory limit in <b>Options | Preferences | Advanced</b>. The default
- is 200,000 Kb; however, when Undo is enabled, T+ will always save at least
- one Undo/Redo level, regardless of image size.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">When a selection is
- active in an image window, pressing Delete (or <b>Edit | Delete</b>) will
- replace the selected area with the current view window background color. Ctrl+Delete
- is now the keystroke to delete a file. There is also an option in <b>Options
- | Viewing | Other</b> to enable file deletion when no selection is active,
- which will provide previous behavior.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added <b>Edit | Cut</b>
- to image windows, which copies the current selection to the clipboard, then
- clears it.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Any image operation
- that does not change the image size (i.e., filter, color adjust, color balance,
- cut/paste) can now be faded; the image is combined with the Undo image at
- the opacity selected. Undo must be enabled (<b>Options | Viewing | Other</b>)
- for this feature to be available.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added the ability to
- assign or remove color profiles to <b>Image | Quick Process | Modify File

- filters: Pop Art, Dark Edges, Gray Edges, and Drawing.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added a preview to <b>Image
- | Combine</b>, and added a "Fade" option.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added an option in <b>Options
- | Viewing | Window</b> to use all monitors when tiling or synching images,
- even if only one monitor is selected for single-image views.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added the ability to
- show thumbnail annotations in the slide show, made the sequence number (1
- of n) optional, and added an option to position the text at the top of the
- window.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added the ability to
- retain zoom and position when advancing through images in a view window. </font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Many additional fixes
- to the slide show, especially regarding the audio. Also added an option to
- control whether the slide show loops or stops after the last file.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added an optional confirmation
- for a prompt when changing wallpaper.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added <b>Image | Compare</b>,
- which shows the computed similarity between two images. This is most useful
- for seeing how much lossy compression affected an image. The following values
- are computed: Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and
- an approximated Wang & Bovik quality index. Also shown are the number
- of identical and the number of different pixels.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Rotate to Line will
- now use the last background color selected in <b>Image | Rotate</b>.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added support for red,
- green and blue channel histograms in <b>Image | Histogram</b>.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"> </font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added
- an option (<b>Options | Viewing | Appearance</b>) to select whether to show
- the entire path or only the file name in the view window title bar.</font></li>

- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Fixed a bug that was

- | Quick Process | Turn</b>) whose dimensions are not multiples of eight.</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added <b>Image | Quick
- Process | Turn</b> support for Kodak .DCR files.</font></li>

- to create thumbnails of unsupported files from the clipboard (<b>Thumbnail
- | Make</b> from Clipboard). There is also an option (<b>Options | Preferences
- | Thumbnails</b>) to save the clipboard information as a .tp_jptn file for
- when thumbnails are remade. These files are automatically moved, copied and
- deleted along with the corresponding originals when they are moved from within
- ThumbsPlus. When T+ cannot load a file, it checks for the presence of a .tp_jptn
- file with the same name and uses that to make the thumbnail.</font></li>

- | Customize | Info Colors</b>. Additionally, the items in the "Available"
- list box for selecting info items are grayed if they are already in the Selected
- list. (I didn't want to prevent people from adding an item twice -- it's useful
- when the list is large.)</font></li>
- <li><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Modifying multiple files

- selected, each field has a checkbox to indicate whether it should be changed

- </li>
- <li>
- <div>
- <div><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Modified the installer
- to ask how you want ThumbsPlus to store the database and preferences on

- </ul>
- <div></div>
- </li>
- <li>
- <div><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">ThumbsPlus now uses

- </li>
- <li>
- <div><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added support for
- multi-byte character sets in the English version. (ThumbsPlus is not a Unicode
- application, so your system will have to be set to the right language. You'll
- also need to select appropriate fonts.) This works for file and folder names,

- test.</font></div>
- </li>
- <li>
- <div><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Added an option so
