[Script] Quick Picto Viewer v5+

[robodesign]

Hello, guys!

New version bringing minor fixes and many improvements related to vector paths drawing:

- v5.3.5 (2021-10-07)
- [new] context menu when drawing freeform vector shapes
- [new] ability to perform undo/redo while drawing vector shapes, persistent between vector editing sessions
- [new] now any point on the path can be set as the start point; this gives users more control over where new points are added
- [new] users can now select multiple points in a vector path to move simultaneously, or just delete them
- [new] option to deactivate the constant preview of the to-be added point on path
- users can now combine the string filtering abilities with the already seen images filter, for files lists
- users can now adjust image selection area in the «jpeg lossless operations»
panel

Update:
- v5.3.6 (2021-10-09)
- major bug fixes; previous release broke freeimage support and all the dll functions from «qpvmain.dll», because i broke the gdi+ library ;-).


Best regards, Marius.

@ozzii . Thank you !

For one year already, I began collecting screenshots of nice and interesting welcome screens generated by the code I made for Quick Picto Viewer . I made a slideshow video with these. 370 images.

@Hellbent . The Maurer code I have is at its core based on your code, but modified... You can find it in coredrawWelcomeImg(), section modelu=6. I even mentioned you there.

Best regards, Marius.

[Hellbent]

@robodesign. I'm glad that my old example gave you some inspiration ( didn't know it was based off it ).
I hope I can use your updated version to get some inspiration too. I'll take a look at your code once I have some free time.

Thanks again.
HB.

[robodesign]

@Hellbent . Yes, sure. You can reuse , adapt, any part of the code, to suit your needs.

Best regards, Marius.

[robodesign]

Hello, people !

The previous version had some wicked bugs that prompted me to post a new version. You could not do any proper image editing when the viewport scrollbars were visible, lol.

So... the new version is here:

- v5.4.1 (2021-11-28)
- [new] option to choose color depth on image save
- the files list map will be «blown out» for large file lists, when users click the scrollbar
- by pressing the Tab key, in panels, the focused control, will now be highlighted; useful for people with poor eyesight
- important bug fixes related to image editing, finding dupes and the HDR tone mapping panel
- other fixes and improvements

Best regards, Marius.

Hi

I tried picto quick viewer against irfan view
I opened a folder with 4000px images, and it is faster !
Great work using autohotkey !

It should more well known as it is a cool alternative for irfan and xnview.
Thanks for sharing this

Thank you for the feedback. I am glad you like it. I am working on a new version which brings full dark mode and... new dupes detection algorithms and fixes related to this, and various other bug fixes and improvements.

The download link works for me . Do you mean it needs https:// instead of http:// for it to work?

[loumizhu]

Thanks for your work,
duplicates are indeed a welcome feature. the few software I tried aren't doing the job
I needed to look for an image inside a big folder of images and couldn't find a good app to do it

the link works when added https

[robodesign]

Hello, guys, I am back at it again.

Since last December I began working on a major new release. It brings alpha masking support in more image editing tools , and blending modes. It also sports an entirely overhauled image duplicates similarity detection , with more algorithms to choose. It also brings a dark mode user interface.

I also made some core changes: less reliance on the INI file, keyboard shortcuts are now registered by the interface thread, eliminating some crashes related to input handling. It also brings support of loading images through the Windows Imaging Component [WIC], by detecting supported formats by this component.

Detailed change log follows - I had to split it into categories.

- v5.6.0 (2022-02-25)
General stuff:
- [new] ability to load images through WIC - Windows Imaging Component; the newly supported formats are listed in the open dialog
- [new] animated webp support [with WIC]; experimental
- [new] dark mode for panels and menus
- [new] option to change page orientation [and more] on image printing; bug fixes related to printing
- [new] the journal panel has a dedicated section for errors
- [new] databases saved by Quick Picto Viewer have a version number; QPV will now warn users when different [older] formats are opened and are no longer supported
- [new] option to capture a screen shot of QPV when users are in list view / thumbnails view
- [important] beginning with this version, Quick Picto Viewer will store about 210 settings [variables] in the registry, related to image editing panels; another 140 will be stored in the main QPV INI file
- [important] moved all keyboard hotkeys binding into the interface thread, in order to allow the AHK core finish processing the hotkeys registered hooks [messages and notifications] in reasonable time, in any circumstance; QPV now no longer causes the system to freeeze while holding space to pan an image and clicking to pan it
- redesigned image «selection area properties», «file search» and «flood fill» panels
- fixed bugs related to clicking on tooltips that could have led to crashes
- many various bug fixes and improvements

Image editing:
- [new] option to generate and apply an alpha mask in the «Fill selected area» tool; users can also paint alpha masks
- [new] ability to use alpha masks and blending modes with the «Insert text» tool; real time alpha masking also possible
- [new] ability to apply the alpha mask when using the «add noise» and «blur selected area» filters
- [new] ability to apply alpha mask when using the «flood fill», «erase selected area» and «desaturate selected area» tools
- [new] a specialized panel / tool to generate or paint in real time alpha masks
- [new] a specialized tool to fill with colour behind images
- [new] ability to auto expand the canvas when using «draw shape contours», «fill selected area» and «insert text» panels; this was possible only with the transform tool
- [new] automated selection alignment option
- [new] option to invert selection area in «desature image» panel, and to output the R, G or B channel as a gray image
- [new] option to discard or keep the user painted alpha mask bitmap between tool sessions
- [new] options to rasterize [pixelize] generated alpha masks; this will automatically occur when users choose to paint inside the alpha mask
- [new] options to view and copy to clipboard the alpha mask bitmap
- [new] ability to perform a one level undo in alpha mask painting mode
- [new] option to fill selection area box in the «Insert Text» panel
- [new] options to convert text to «leet speak» and to flip the text vertically or horizontally, in «Insert text» panel
- [new] specific toolbar icons for the transform tool; previously, the toolbar was deactivated when this tool was activated
- [new] proper font dialog to choose the font, in the «Insert Text» panel, thanks to TheArkive
- many improvements related to drawing vector shapes with symmetry activated
- QPV will now highlight the reference point when users hold Shift to snap new point , when drawing vector shapes
- fixed the undo/redo mechanism for image selection area states and others

Files organization:
- [new] implemented the pHash DCT and Mean-Squared Difference algorithms for similar images duplicates detection; simplified options related to image fingerprints duplicates detection
- [new] dupes detection: ability to detect images horizontally flipped and color inverted images
- [new] option to have images faded if they do not belong to the same group of duplicates
- [new] option to generate stats based on file created date; until now, only file modified date was possible
- [new] ability to collect histogram and image fingerprints filtered by a given string
- [new] option to purge cached data only for modified files
- [new] panel with detailed overview of the cached data in the database
- [new] ability to drag-n-drop folders in the tree view folders panel [F4]; folders can be moved or copied into other folders, or dropped into the main window to add the containing image files
- when sorting images, files selection is retained, even if a database is opened
- fixed bugs related to finding image duplicates that lead to omissions and high memory usage

---

As always, feedback and bug reports are welcomed.

More to come.

Best regards, Marius.

[tidbit]

- [new] ability to load/save/delete created vector shapes
- [new] ability to scale selected vector points
- [new] copy/paste vector points
- [new] several new selection area aspect ratio locking modes
- [new] users can now do «Ctrl + Left click» inside an image selection area, and drag, to create and adjust how much of the selection area to be excluded
- [new] option to turn off tooltips in the toolbar
- [new] improvements to panel: «Update files list selectively» / «Folders containing indexed files»; it is now always accessible, regardless of the files list index opened, and it allows counting [selected and total] files per folder; it also allows users to select/deselect files for any of the listed folders
- viewport grid and rotation icons in the toolbar are now slider icons
- various bug fixes

Feedback and critique, always welcomed.

Best regards, Marius.
