Overview&News Download&Installation Usage&Screenshots To-Do&Change-log Sources

To-Do
1. Make image navigation more "user-friendly";
2. Trade some memory and/or performance for better zoom-out quality;
3. Consider inverting colors on b&w devices when backlight is on;
4. Consider loading of JPEGs directly from expansion cards;
5. Speed up the converter application;

Change-log
Version 1.8a:
- Fixed problem with sporadic "invalid or unsupported bitmap" error popup when opening images from "browser" screen;
- Fixed armlet bug that caused crashes on Treo650 (thanks to everybody who helped to trace it down). If you are using SD card make sure the prevous version is not stuck in the handheld memory;
- Added 65536 colors mode support (tested with m505 emulator and Palm Tungsten C). Keep in mind that the decompression using 68K code becomes a significant slowdown with these image sizes, so check if the quality improvement realy worth the storage and speed in your usage case;
- Added standard 160x160, 320x320 and 280x160 resize dimensions to the resize options in converter. Increased granularity of rescaling available in the GUI;
- Added command line interface and CLI batch processing. Refer to the program online help ("Usage" page) for the list of options available and their detailed description;
- Added menu option for closing the viewer application;
Version 1.7b:
- fixed problem with resize in the converter application;
- fixed problem with image lookup not finding images on VFS in subfolders under /Palm/Launch/;
- image display routines changed to minimize flickering when scrolling a zoomed out image;
- added parameter block parsing and released sources helping other Palm applications to call the viewer;

- added Handera 330 hi-res support (tested with emulator only, screen rotation is not supported);

- fixed TIFF unrecognized tag warning causing image opening error problem;
Version 1.6b:
- fixed the "Null dblD passed" crash when there are no images found at the startup time;
- action menu entries rearranged for OS3.5 to show it correctly when some of them are hidden;
Version 1.6a:
- fixed bugs with displaying image right edge corrupted and left border showing up incorrectly on ARM devices;
- added support for a new image database format (allows combining bitmap data with other data types, for future enhancements);

- converter app changed to restore automatically the last used conversion format when restarted;
