13-Jun-2009

WarpView 1.04 is now available with many fixes and improvements:

Fixed a bug which prevented greyscale JPEG files from working
Fixed some bugs in the software drawing routines which caused a slight error in the rendered size of the image
Enhanced Scale/Resize option, added possibility to lock the width/height separately, image can be automatically padded with borders keep the correct aspect ratio, configurable border colour, added size presets
Added Gaussian Blur and Unsharp Mask image processing functions with configurable radius, amount and threshold
When Esc key is pressed during crop, instead of exiting warpview, only the crop function is exited now
No longer recurses into subdirectories if a single file was selected, only if a directory is selected without specifying a file in the requester
Fixed image number display which was incorrect in certain cases

17-Jan-2009

WarpView 1.02 is now available and contains a number of improvements/fixes:

Fixed recursive directory scanning (did not work with file requesters)
Fixed a bug which caused a lockup when pressing Enter on resize window
Added progress bar for loading images which pops up after 1 second to indicate that the image is still loading (except during slideshow)
Added progress bar for scanning directory with 'Cancel' button to allow the scanning to be stopped in case it takes too long
Added filename filtering based on file pattern to speed up directory scanning
Fixed append to work when only a directory is entered in file requester with no files selected (now contents of directory will be appended)
Fixed crop issues (numerical input with locked aspect didn't keep aspect, selectbox motion was jerkey when mouse reached the sides of the screen)
Added display of image number and total number of images to InfoLine
Added fallback to Software Mode in case video memory is so low that Warp3D Mode cannot work at all

Improved keyfile loading (you can have WarpView and keyfile in C: now)

I'm also happy to report that the registration problems with Reg.Net have been resolved.

WarpView 1.0 Released

3-Jan-2009

After more than 6 months of hard work, WarpView 1.0 is finally available!

Changes in this version (v1.0):

Complete rework and restructure of the program to allow key new features
Implemented Software Draw Mode as an alternative to Warp3D mode for those with low video memory. Software Mode is now default, because it allows for faster image loading with high resolution images (no need to transfer whole image to video memory via PCI/AGP bus).
Draw Mode (Software/Warp3D) can be toggled either via ToolType/Command line options, or in the Settings menu.
Now using internal libjpeg for faster loading of JPEG images
Added support for saving images in JPEG and PNG formats
Added Scale/Resize option with super-fast Nearest/Bilinear/Bicubic resample and an extremely good quality, highly optimized Lanczos algorithm.
Added Crop option with both graphical (mouse-driven) and numeric input possibilities, aspect ratio presets, aspect lock and auto-scroll capability
Added Undo/Redo functionality
Added automatic zoom to fit to screen when rotating
Added an Exif 2.2 compliant Exif parser to read Exif data, with support for reading Canon-specific Marker Notes
Some Exif data is displayed on the InfoLine when available
Added Image Information window to show additional Exif Data
Alphabetical sorting improved to ignore upper/lower case
Many small changes, bugfixes, improvements and optimisations
A nice PDF Manual
WarpView is now released as ShareWare

Registration information on the Reg.Net page is a bit confusing, so just to clarify (until the Reg.Net team correct it): After registering WarpView 1.0, a personal keyfile will be sent by the author via E-Mail, which unlocks the demo limitations.
