Releases: Fank1/glimpse
Release list
v1.2.0
What's new since 1.0.0
🖼️ A proper gallery, with a place for filtered-out images
- Two views: your Gallery (the images Glimpse keeps) and an Ignored pile (everything the filter set aside, plus anything you've ignored yourself). A button at the bottom flips between them.
- Long-press any image to move it. Rescue a map the filter wrongly hid, or ignore one you never want to see, without switching to "show all images."
🔍 Sharper, better zoom
- Zoomed-in maps and detail now stay crisp instead of going blurry. Glimpse re-loads the image at full resolution when you zoom in.
- Pinch smoothly from best-fit up to 150%, or double-tap to jump in and back out.
- Fixed: panning around a zoomed image could accidentally close Glimpse.
📖 "Show in Book" now lands on the exact image
- Previously it dropped you at the top of the chapter. Now it jumps straight to the image you were looking at.
🌙 Night-mode fixes
- "Invert in Night Mode" now works the right way round (it was sometimes reversed for some users).
- Fixed a white drawer in dark mode on some Android/Boox devices. It's properly dark now.
⚡ Less ghosting (e-ink)
- Opening, closing, and swiping between images no longer cause "ghosts" of the previous image behind, especially noticeable on Kindle and other e-ink screens.
- New option to turn off the drawer's drop-shadow if it causes ghosting on your device or just for cosmetic preference.
💾 Behind the scenes
- Glimpse's scan is now stored alongside the book, so it travels with the file between devices.
- A rotated image stays rotated, even after an unexpected shutdown.
v1.1.18
v1.1.17
Gallery polish: top margin above the Gallery/Ignored heading; the Show Gallery/Ignored toggle now spans flush to the left margin when there are no page arrows; long-press popup gets clean anti-aliased corners (was hard-edged grit) and floats just above the press point instead of sitting on it.
v1.1.16
v1.1.15
Header subtitle simplified to just 'N images' (the title already says Gallery/Ignored), and the secondary texts (page indicator + subtitle) are now bold. Trimmed the ignore notice to just 'Image ignored.'. Show in Book now uses the new navigate icon, and Restore ignored images gets a restore icon.
v1.1.14
Gallery gains a two-line header — 'Gallery' / 'Ignored' with a right-aligned 'Page X of Y', and a smaller 'N images in Gallery' / 'N images ignored' subtitle. Renamed the kept-images pile from 'Collection' to 'Gallery' throughout (toggle now 'Show Gallery (n)', long-press 'Add back to Gallery'). Toggle fills the bottom bar's width; long-press popup is smaller and appears at the point pressed; removed the '+' badge on ignored thumbnails. Masonry fix: small/low-res images no longer get oversized cells floating in white space, so the grid packs tightly.
v1.1.13
Fix: tapping an image in the Gallery's Ignored pile no longer crashes KOReader — it's now a no-op. Long-pressing a Gallery thumbnail now opens a small menu next to it ('Ignore this image' in the Collection, 'Add back to Collection' in the Ignored pile) instead of moving the image immediately, so the action is deliberate and labelled.
v1.1.12
Gallery redesign: the Shown/Ignored switch moved to a bottom-bar toggle button — 'Show Ignored (n)' / 'Show Collection (n)' — since the top strip is reserved for KOReader's top menu; the page indicator now sits top-left. Consistent 'Ignore' wording throughout: the ⋯ menu is now 'Ignore Image', the filter is 'Ignore irrelevant images', and 'Restore ignored images' replaces the old 'hidden' phrasing. Long-press a Gallery thumbnail to move it between Collection and Ignored (unchanged).
v1.1.11
Gallery: new Shown/Ignored tabs — long-press a thumbnail to move it between them (add back images the relevance filter set aside, e.g. a map; or ignore ones you don't want). Empty state offers 'Review filtered-out' when everything was filtered. Per-image rotation now persists immediately (survives an unclean shutdown). Scan cache now lives in the book's .sdr sidecar so it travels with the book between devices.
v1.1.10
Night-mode fixes.
#3 'Invert in Night Mode' behaving backwards: Glimpse now inverts night-mode images with the exact same pixel operation KOReader uses for the book's own inline images, keyed off the same Screen.night_mode flag (verified byte-identical to a native ImageWidget). Removed the old getInverse()/HW-vs-SW detection and framebuffer-flag hooks, whose state could disagree between decode and paint and reverse the image. Default (unchecked) = original colours, checked = inverted.
#9 blinding white drawer in dark mode (Android/Boox): on SW-invert devices KOReader inverts the framebuffer when compositing, but Glimpse was flag-matching its panel/shadow buffers, bypassing that inversion. It now keeps those buffers in logical/day polarity so the drawer shows black in dark mode. e-ink (HW-invert) rendering is unchanged.
