• Command for maximizing a pane.
• Redraw regions debug view (Shift+F3).

Improvements

• No longer re-rendering while waiting for delays (tooltip, tab preview, toasts, ..)
• The gallery centers on the current image when a folder is opened.
• Large images switch to tiles once they exceed half the image cache, instead of at a fixed 128 MB.
• More reliable browsing direction for preloading, judged from the old and new position in the folder, instead of relying on just the prev/next commands.

Full Changelog: v1.13.0...v1.14.0

v1.13.0

• Per-tab sorting and file name filter in the gallery.
• Button in the pane toolbar for toggling synced zoom and pan.

Improvements

• Every image passed on the command line gets opened, not just the first one.
• Deleting the current image moves to the next one.

Full Changelog: v1.12.1...v1.13.0

v1.12.1

Fixes

• The system title bar no longer shows above the app's own title bar until the window is resized.
• The window no longer jumps when it opens maximized with Windows animation effects enabled.

Both issues introduced by the custom title bar.

Full Changelog: v1.12.0...v1.12.1

v1.12.0

New features

• Custom title bar with the tabs and app menu (saves some vertical space).
• Settings for how many images to preload ahead and how much VRAM loaded images may use.
• Check for updates automatically once a day.

Improvements

• GPU upload is done off the window thread (should remove animation stutter when an image is loaded)
• Open each image file once for both its header and its pixels
• Fix preloading not evicting old images from cache (images would stop preloading once cache was filled)
• Large images fill missing tiles with sharper tiles from other zoom levels instead of falling back to the low res preview.
• The active pane is shown by dimming the other panes' tab strips instead of an outline around the pane.
• Improved animation when closing panes (only animates a bitmap preview, so the other panes can get resized right away instead of waiting for the animation to finish).
• Modals slide in from the bottom of the window
• UI/UX polish in the settings panel.
• Copying an image to the clipboard no longer blocks the UI.
• File action shortcuts run once per key press instead of repeating while held.
• Settings are saved once changes settle instead of on every change.

Code

• All images load through one pipeline that dedupes, prioritizes, cancels and caches requests.
• Switch from CRLF to LF line endings.
• A bunch of misc refactors.

Full Changelog: v1.11.0...v1.12.0

v1.11.0

New features

• Rotate (L / R) and flip (H / V) commands.
• Synced zoom and pan across panes with the "Toggle synced zoom and pan" command.
• The command palette can be opened from the tab and image right-click menus, and from a button on the empty start screen.

Improvements

• EXIF orientation is applied on the GPU while drawing, so rotated photos are no longer rotated on the CPU after decoding.
• Tabs showing the same folder share one folder scan and watcher. Folder paths ending with a slash are treated as the same folder.

Code

• The UI framework moved into its own Dameview.UI project, and Dameview.Core is now Dameview.Model. The viewer and the installer share Direct2D and clock hosting through UiHost.
• Panels are laid out declaratively with margins, alignment, surfaces, and fill stacks, instead of rectangles computed by hand (well, most of them).
• The viewport API uses sizes, points, and vectors throughout, with operators for the math. The zoom, fit and actual-size animations are combined into a single move, and animator state is grouped into one record per animation.

Full Changelog: v1.10.0...v1.11.0

v1.10.0

New features

• Right-click menus on the image, gallery thumbnails and tabs.
• Include images from subfolders with the new toggle in the gallery footer or the "Toggle flatten folder" command.
• The gallery footer shows the image count and how long the folder took to scan, with a button to scroll back to the current image.
• Open a folder by dropping it on the window or passing it on the command line.
• Tooltips on buttons, and full file names on gallery thumbnails.

Improvements

• Tabs shrink to fit the strip, the new tab button sits right after the last tab, and tab width and the selection highlight animate.
• Saving settings keeps comments and unknown keys in the settings file.
