⚠ ImageGlass End User License Agreement (EULA) update!

Starting from April 1st, 2023 and ImageGlass version 8.8, it is now required for users to register for a free license in order to use ImageGlass for non-personal purposes. This update has been announced on the ImageGlass website, and users can find more information about the new End User License Agreement (EULA) update at https://imageglass.org/license.

📝 Changelog:

🌱 New:

• Adds setting DisabledMenus in igconfig.xml to disable ImageGlass features using menu name (Option to disable "Set as desktop background." context menu. #1498).
• Adds support for relative path of Exiftool in igconfig.xml file (Support relative path for ExifTool #1208).
• Adds support for displaying and extracting Unicode characters from EXIF metadata (Malformed non-Ascii characters in Exiftool output #1169).
• Adds a new confirmation dialog when the user overrides the current image to warn them about the limitations of ImageGlass regarding image saving (After rotating a multipage TIF file, all page navigation features stop working #1094).
• The About dialog now includes information about the ImageGlass license and privacy policy.
• The Check for Update feature has been improved to show more information about the update and check if the user's system can install version 9.0 in the future.
• Image saving has been updated to only work with supported formats listed in the "Write" column of the supported formats page (Canon Raw .CR2 file corrupted after ImageGlass saved rotation #1504):
  • If the user attempts to save an unsupported format, the "Save as..." dialog will be opened instead.
  • This change also affects other image saving-related features such as rotation, flipping, and cropping.

🔮 Improvements:

• Fixed an issue where the Exif tool was not functional when using the default name of ExifTool: exiftool(-k).exe (Exif tool dialog won't accept anything but "exiftool.exe" #1178).
• Fixed an issue where images became corrupted during the save process, causing display errors when navigating to the next image or exiting the app (Image (still) gets corrupted after rotating #1097, After rotate, can't save the image.  #1273, Canon Raw .CR2 file corrupted after ImageGlass saved rotation #1504).
• Fixed an issue where the "loading..." message always shows when viewing next images.
