What's new

v10.1 [Nov 27, 2015]
User interface changes:
- Added Main Window Dialog Position to Options - Preferences - General.
- Fixed initial locations of some main window dialogs to properly locate based on preferences.
- Fixed not graying Render Alpha menu option when non-alpha image.
- Improved appearance and utility of Help - Program Updates.
- Fixed initial folder selected when browsing to select a folder.
- Fixed move/copy a file during slide show would bring the main ThumbsPlus window to the front.
- Maximum view window zoom increased to 128X.
- Added hard-coded zooms Ctrl+1,2,... to 10%, 20%, etc.
- Improved readability of the Metadata panel by setting the default to Use thumbnail colors everywhere in Options - Customize - Colors. If you're upgrading, I recommend enabling this option, or clicking Use defaults.
- Added an option in Options - Preferences - Confirmations for the confirmation of File - Delete to default to Yes, to match Windows Explorer behavior. The default for deleting folders default remains No for safety.
- In Options - Customize, I changed the customization category of several command from Clipboard to Edit, to match where they are on the main menu. Renamed the Clipboard category to Clipboard Copy. I also moved Tag and Untag Thumbnail to the Thumbnail category, as they were misplaced in Edit. (In the future, I will reduce the number of categories and disambiguate some ambiguous commands!)
- Changed the default for overwriting files during Image - Batch Process and Thumbnail - Export to be Yes, to match default Windows behavior.
- Fixed the height of the Metadata toolbar to match the heights of the Location and Thumbnail View toolbars.
- Fixed the File toolbar in the View window to be customizable.
- Cleaned up the database history in the Database - Open flyout menu to remove duplicates, sort by most recent, and check the currently-opened database.
- File - Properties wasn't always showing the proper file size for files larger than 4 GB.
- Made File - Copy and File - Move menu flyouts only add the special folders specified in Options - Proferences - Disks and Folders. Also made the names consistent with what shows in the main folder tree.
- Thumbnail - Remove - From Folder was not updating the thumbnail view.
- The Image - Color Adjust and Image - Color Depth dialogs did not have titles.
- Added File - Close Others to the view window menu (to close all other windows besides the current one).
- Moved Repair and Compact from Database - Advanced to the main Database menu.
- Added Database - Advanced - Move Thumbnails to Files to make the process easier (in earlier versions you had to type several Python commands).
- Fixed several blank dialog box captions (Color Depth, Adjust Color, and External Program).
- Improved Python panel command handling and progress display, and added an Open button to run a .py file.
- Added (READONLY) to the main window title bar when the database cannot be updated (due to permissions or if it's on an non-writable device).
High-DPI monitor (scaling) support improvements
- Fixed some dialog strings that were truncated at high dpis.
- Fixed narrow width of error message windows.
- Added ability to adjust dpi from debug menu (very limited capability; affects about screen and other manual scaling, but not dialogs).
- Added an option to Scale Icons in the main window toolbars based on screen dpi, in Options - Customize - Options.
- The panel toolbars (Location, Thumbnail View, Metadata) icons and combo boxes are now scaled and sized properly at high dpis.
- There are a few minor issues remaining (for example, some custom button bitmaps are too small, and the some image operation preview window menu buttons need to be larger). I will be continuing to improve high DPI support.
And more.
