Software : : ShowGirls - 0.95
Posted By: kiero. on 2007/7/5 16:02:29
ShowGirls - 0.95 was meant to be mostly a bugfix update, but since some time passed since last version some new features were also unavoidable....

ShowGirls - 0.95 was meant to be mostly a bugfix update, but since some time passed since last version it brings some usefull (and probably some useless too) features:

- Merge factor for Noise Reduction. Allows to preserve more detail
- Curves tool. Allows for selective adjustment of image brightness, saturation and R/G/B intensity
- Displaying of flashlight mode in exif overlay
- Much faster thumbnails generation for JPEG files without embedded exif thumbnail.
- Minor speed/size optimizations and tweaks in numerous places.
- Threshold filter allowing to convert image into black&white one.
- File extension adjustment (changing to .jpg) in batch converter.
- Initial version of bordering tool.

Bugs squashed in this version:

- History for path and copy/move operations was not working properly.
- Loading image without full path was not working properly.
- Random crash caused by wrong object tree setup.
- Don't crash on thumbnails with with equals to 1 (with 'Save memory' enabled)
- Zoom in factor (when using wheel/keyboard) wasn't equal to zoom out.
- Few memory leaks.
- Focusing on thumbnails in very tall views
- Correct image dimensions in thumbnail help bubble.
- Smarted thumbnails scanning (delayed mode only). Thumbnails of visible pictures are generated on demand.
- Smarter minimum zommin factor. Now depends on image dimensions and display area.
- ...and probably more i forgot about.


As usual, the archive can be found on kiero.binaryriot.org, and to be precise HERE

Enjoy,
Michal 'kiero' Wozniak

    ShowGirls is by far the best picture viewer we have... if only we'd have a random slideshow function :-)

    Thanks for the update!

    We have? I'd go as far as saying the best viewer on any platfrom in price vs quality. Kiero being an annoying pole when drunk, have to admit he is an incredible programmer ;-)

    I'm very happy, because I have no problem with this new version.
    (mouse pointer and screen were freezed after launching)
    I can delete the 0.8. and use the last version like everybody else.

    ShowGirls is a great software, thank you so much Kiero !

    a temp slideshow solution is to use a small arexx script to load each pic after some delay and do
    this in ambient

    Action
    Name Load in Showgirls
    Event DoubleClick
    Command AMIGADOS run >nil: sys:system_util/ShowGirls-0.9/ShowGirls BROWSER %sp
    End
    Action
    Name Load in Showgirls Slideshow
    Event Menu
    Command AMIGADOS run >nil: sys:system_util/ShowGirls-0.95/ShowGirls BROWSER %sp
    Command AMIGADOS run >nil: rx sys:system_util/ShowGirls-0.95/Rexx/slideshow.rexx
    End



    my slideshow.rexx looks like this :

    /* showgirls slideshow */

    signal on break_c
    call open('STDERR','NIL:','write')
    OPTIONS RESULTS
    address SHOWGIRLS.1

    load:
    say 'waiting 150 ticks...'
    call delay(150)
    loadnext
    status=rc
    if status~=1 then exit /* stops the script after last pic */
    call load

    break_c:
    exit

    i just miss the option to displey full exif information in the main window, then a single picture is selected. i'm an amateur photographer, and so exif data are for me the most important...

    thanks and bye, MarK.
