December 17th, 2010· PMView does not use the new visual styles available in Common Controls v6.0. (Push buttons do not have rounded corners, the size grip is the old dashed version instead of the new one with dots, etc.). This build adopts Common Controls v6.0.
· The split bar in the File Open window is not correctly redrawn when the window is resized.
· The folder tree in the File Open window is occasionally only populated with the desktop folder and nothing else. This problem occurs on Windows 2000 and was caused by the XP/Vista/Win7 fix in v3.63.
· When the status bar is disabled, a sizing grip should be displayed in the right bottom corner when the PMView window has both a horizontal and vertical scroll bar. This does not work correctly on Windows 2000.
November 11th, 2010· The folder tree in the File Open dialog is slow to expand, stalls for a while, and you may have to click twice on a branch before it expands.
· PMView cannot use more than 2GB RAM on 32-bit Windows (XP/Vista/7) because the LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag is not set in the PMView executable. This version corrects the problem
August 6th, 2010· Selecting detail view in the slideshow causes PMView to crash. This problem is specific to the 64-bit version of PMView.
August 6th, 2010· A change in v3.60 caused the screen refresh in PMView to noticeably slow down. The change was not necessary and the obvious change in speed is definitely not desirable. This build puts the speed back to what it was in v3.54 and earlier versions.
August 6th, 2010New features:
· A native 64-bit build is included in the standard distribution and is installed on 64-bit versions of Windows.
· The installer has been migrated from WISE to the NullSoft Install System. The new installer is able to handle installation for all users or single user installs correctly. Installation for the current user only is now possible without requiring administrator privileges.
· Added support for TWAIN v2.1 and the new TWAINDSM.DLL that supports 64-bit native TWAIN.
Bug fixes:
· WISE installer fails with a DLL error on Windows x64 Ultimate. The new NSIS installer in this version does not exhibit this problem.
· A strange problem with PMView using incorrect cursors is solved. This problem appeared with the transition to new development tools in v3.10.
· Slideshow: Selecting "Sort->Image Orientation" causes PMView to hang.
· File Copy/Move dialogs cannot be resized.
· All "Yes/No" dialogs have been changed to "Ok/Cancel" dialogs since the latter has the convenience of allowing the escape key ("Esc") to be used for declining the action.
September 19th, 2009· Saving, JPG: If a metric unit is used for storing the resolution info, the data may not be stored with the expected precision. This happens because PMView preserves the selected unit (metric/imperial) combined with the fact that the choice of metric unit used in the JFIF standard is unfortunate. (Note that JFIF uses "pixels per centimeter" instead of the much more precise metric unit "pixels per meter" used in other file formats). JFIF stores the resoluition figures in integer format, with the result that the metric unit (pixels per centimeter) cannot store resolution info with the same precision as the corresponding imperial unit (pixels per inch). This version of PMView tries to keep the resolution figure as precise as possible and will automatically switch over to imperial units if it detects that use of metric units would cause a loss of precision.
· Using the main window menu bar causes select shortcut keys to cease functioning. After using the menu, all shortcut keys for items that were grayed out in the menu remain disabled until the menu is accessed again. For instance, the DEL key will be disabled if you start PMView without an image and select File->Recall from the menu bar to load the image. If you click once on the File menu, the shortcut key will work again.
· Code added for Windows Vista compatibility in v3.52 inadvertently resulted in backwards incompatibility with Windows 98 and Windows NT. This has been corrected in this release.
July 30th, 2009· The File Move dialog will show that two files are identical if the file sizes are the same, even if the file contents differ. There is a bug in the code that does byte by byte comparison of the two files. Even though two files with the same file size are different, PMView will claim they are identical.
· When using the Resize dialog "Custom" option to resize images, the resulting image may have an unused black pixel column/row on the side/bottom. This problem only occurs when the "Keep proportional" option is enabled.
· Clicking the Desktop Folder icon in the File Open/Save dialogs does nothing. The expected behavior is to switch the directory path to the desktop folder.
July 30th, 2009· Using the scroll wheel on an IBM USB Scroll Wheel Mouse may crash PMView. (The problem is triggered by a driver dependent feature and to our knowledge only occurs if an IBM/Lenovo driver is used).
· Saving of Filters and Scripts does not work on Windows Vista.
· Every time a quick script is run from the Quick Script menu, a new set of duplicate menu entries appear in the menu.
· When the script option "Use same directory as original" is enabled, and the directory that is first in the list does not exist, PMView warns that the directory does not exist and asks if you would like to create it. This behavior is incorrect, since PMView is set to use the same directory as the original and consequently the directory in the list should be ignored. (This bug appears in v3.51 only).
August 3rd, 2007· The File Convert dialog is unable to create a directory if a relative path is used.
· The File Copy, and Move dialogs resolve and store the fully resolved absolute directory path in the list of most recently used directories. This behavior is changed in PMView v3.51 and the relative path is now stored instead of the absolute path.
· When a spinbutton gets the focus, the cursor placement is platform dependent. This verison improves spinbutton behavior. Now the cursor is always placed at the end of the last character. In addition, the text in the spinbutton is selected, which makes it possible to directly type in a new value.
· It is not possible to tab between the fields of the Selection Info dialog.
