Image Scaler Changelog

What's new in Image Scaler 2.5

Jan 20, 2022
  • Better Java runtime detection (#4)
  • Fix folders with a period incorrectly being labelled as files (#3)
  • Fix the file extensions field not being disabled during rescaling
  • Release file locks as fast as possible
  • Internal improvements to better handle edge cases
  • Update dependencies & build system

New in Image Scaler 2.4 (Sep 21, 2020)

  • Errors are now collected during the scaling processed and only reported at the end in one go. This means that there will now be one report with errors instead of a dialog for every error. Other than that the image parsing libraries were updated to the latest version.

New in Image Scaler 2.3 (Nov 25, 2019)

  • Implemented a fair number of new features and resolved quite a few bugs 👀
  • Support dropping folders and files into the field to set paths.
  • If you're on Windows with the correct VC++ runtime installed you'll now see the new style Windows file chooser.
  • Split the file name regex into a file name part and a list of extensions to make it hopefully more understandable.
  • Add more help information to all the advanced options hopefully make them more understandable.
  • Properly handle subdirectories.
  • Make parsing subdirectories optional.
  • Skip scaling images if the scaling factor is 1 (makes it only rename files).
  • Support selecting a single file as input (though'll you have to drop it in or type in the path yourself).
  • Mitigate the exclamation mark issue (see #2).
  • Attempt to properly handling situations where the program runs out of RAM.
  • Fix a bug where you could get an empty output destination field (resulting in writing to C:).
  • New icon to fix some Windows visual issues.
  • Default the thread count to 4 or less (depending on the CPU) to make it less likely to run out of RAM.
  • Some more internal improvements.
  • Update the image parsing libraries to the latest version.

New in Image Scaler 2.2 (Feb 13, 2019)

  • Turns out that the scaling factor was being ignored, this is now fixed.
  • The overwrite option stayed grayed-out after all the tasks were done.

New in Image Scaler 2.1 (Feb 13, 2019)

  • There was an edge case where you could edit the output folder field when the write to input folder option was checked, this has been fixed.

New in Image Scaler 2.0 (Feb 13, 2019)

  • Fix some jpeg images getting their colours inverted.
  • Add more scaling algorithms.

New in Image Scaler 1.1 (Feb 13, 2019)

  • Separate the normal options from the advanced options in the GUI.
  • Report all errors and not just IO errors.
  • Make it so by default only png and jpg images are converted.
  • Actually make it so the overwrite option is implemented (overwrite was on by default).
