Hello, guys. Thank you !

Here's another teaser [GIF animation]:

Image

The features are meant for simple/occasional image editing. They work smoothly enough even with images at 300 megapixels.

PS. The GIF quality is poor... i wanted to keep the file size at bay...

Later edit. You can copy /paste images with alpha channel. The QPV icon is pasted in place and has an alpha channel.

And regarding GIFs support. This new version sports full support for GIFs, including HD GIFs.

During playback XnView and IrfanView need over 1.0 GB to 1.5 GB of memory to load and play HD 1080p GIFs. My image viewer, doesn't exceed 350 MB. And it can apply real-time viewport effects (color adjustments and rotate).

Best regards, Marius.

Thank you guys.

Here's the selection tool. It supports ellipse selections as well .

The GIF also presents «transform selected area» which allows rotation, rescaling, recoloring and blurring of the area.

Another teaser: this time, presenting blur with soft edges.

I am getting closer.... slowly to a final release...

Please be kind by reporting me all the crashes or bugs you find. I did my best to polish this release, but as always... bugs can be easily omitted, especially because this IS a major release with loooots of changes.

Hello, guys!

I come in peace with a new version that brings free-form drawing of shapes, lines - curved or polygonal, better touch screen support and... alpha masks. Now you can define a gradient or choose an image to mask the pasted image [in place]. Alpha masking is also possible when when you use the «transform selected area» tool.

Complete change log:
- v4.3.0 (2020-06-17)
- [new] free-form curves or polygonal lines drawing, with option to fill as shapes
- [new] alpha masks when pasting images or transforming a selected area; the alpha mask for the image object can be a gradient [linear, radial or box], or another image file, or a previously drawn curved/polygonal shape
- [new] preview area for the blur panel with viewport controlled position
- [new] «stretched to window» mode for viewing images
- [new] option to open containing folder in QPV for selected image
- [new] option to undo single file rename
- [new] quick actions; buttons meant to help users access common actions; useful for touch screen or mouse users
- [new] options to offset/move current selection in «selection properties» panel
- [new] ability to retrieve seen images for a specific date [via statistics panel]
- [improvement] one can now use touch-screen friendly user interface even if QPV is in full-screen mode
- [improvement] context menus for folder manager panels
- various bug fixes

As always, feedback and critique are welcome.

Thanks to the help given to me by @Spawnova, I use for the first time machine code [C/C++], so if you have crashers, let me know...

Best regards, Marius.

great work! crazy fast, and not just by ahk standards. the recursive thumbnail view is super handy. See all images in all folders, not just the current one. Beautiful first-load screen too.
Playing around, made some mildly weird creations with the Transform & Mask tools :thumbup:
rawr. fear me.

Very nice work. And thanks! No longer using XnView or built-in windows image viewer. This program is surpassing XnView in all the areas that i use the most... mainly thumbnail view, quick cacheing, and intuitive controls to switch between thumbs and single image view.

VERY nice program :D
