2 MysticView history
4 1.07
5 - some minor changes I forgot over the past years, sorry.
6 nothing important though.
8 * 1.05
9 - mysticview is freeware; updated texts and requesters
10 accordingly.
12 1.04
14 - slightly improved efficiency of the scanner
15 - added %n placeholder in the PICFORMAT string
16 for the picture's file format, as returned by
17 the datatype.
18 - updated and fixed documentation
20 1.03
21 - new setting: SIMPLESCANNING. when activated, MysticView will
22 add any scanned files to the filelist. no filetype detection
23 takes place. later, when a file turns out to be not loadable
24 as a picture, it will be silently removed from the list. this
25 scanning mode is significantly faster than the default. note:
26 this feature is still considered "beta" and only available
27 via tooltypes.
28 - supplied os3.5-icons in the "goodies" drawer.
30 1.02
31 - CTRL-F-key now immediately switches to a preset, without opening
32 a filerequester first.
34 1.01
35 - when in fullscreen mode and with HIDEONCLOSE enabled, MysticView
36 quitted when the invisible button in the screen's upper left
37 was clicked. fixed.
38 - added "Append Drag'n'Drop" option. when enabled, icons/drawers
39 dragged onto MysticView's window will be added to the current
40 list. tooltype is APPENDICONS.
41 - slightly improved the example preset files.
44 * 1.00
45 - version number bumped
48 0.99h
49 - v1.00 feature freeze.
50 - menus are being restructured.
51 - fixed a bug in the buffer size calculations which caused
52 the background loader to run amok sometimes.
53 - mysticview and all its libraries are now using v39 exec
54 memory pools again.
55 - improved the install script and supplied some configs.
56 - neuralnet.library wasn't installed with earlier versions.
57 fixed.
58 - documentation updated and improved
59 - an auto filerequester was opened even with filenames
60 passed in the commandline. fixed.
61 - added PICFORMAT setting. it allows to specify a format
62 string for the picture info display. currently defined
63 are %p - pathname, %f - filename, %w - width, %h - height,
64 %d - depth. default "%f - %w×%h×%d".
65 - fixed APPEND option.
66 - MysticView and all libraries have been recompiled with
67 higher optimization levels
68 - added a lot of DirectoryOpus configuration hints and
69 examples
70 - when a loaded presetfile contained a new SORTMODE,
71 MysticView did not immediately resort the list. fixed.
72 - added a slightly updated version of MystiCube to the
73 distribution
74 - increased neural network training threshold
77 0.99g
78 - fixed a bug in guigfx.library which caused MysticView
79 to crash at exit, when the standard C= picture and ILBM
80 datatypes were used for loading HAM pictures. thanks to
81 Hexaae for the bug reports and debugging assistance.
82 - the background loader has been rewritten from the
83 scratch. the new loader is faster, and memory management
84 is more efficient.
85 - preloading (and caching) of multiple pictures is now
86 supported. provided you have enough memory, MysticView
87 can keep entire slideshows buffered in memory. Mysticview
88 now reacts much better to skipping back and forwards in a
89 picture list.
90 this redesign also fixes a major bug (enforcer hits
91 and crashes, when pictures were deleted from the
92 list) and some minor problems.
93 - added menu item "Scan Asynchronously" (corresponding
94 tooltype is ASYNCSCANNING). the behavior of the background
95 scanner is no longer dependent from the sortmode.
96 - MysticView's multitasking is much nicer towards other
97 applications now. all time-consuming jobs are running
98 at the same priority. the default is 0 (if started from
99 the workbench), or the same as of the shell process
100 that launched MysticView. the PRIORITY setting has been
101 removed. MysticView now works very comortable at high
102 system load.
103 - added GUI buttons for open, previous, next, slideshow,
104 looping, etc. tooltype: SHOWBUTTONS. enabled by default.
105 you may also use a set of your own buttons via the
106 BUTTONPIC tooltype. a tiny animation of MysticView's
107 logo has been included, too. the respective tooltype
108 is ANIMPIC.
109 - MysticView now offers to change the filename for already
110 existing pictures that are to be copied or moved.
111 - copying, moving and deleting do no longer work
112 asynchronously. MysticView now waits for these operations
113 to complete.
114 - added sort criteria filesize, filedate, combined
115 path+filename, and a reverse-sort option.
116 - the picture-info textline contains more useful
117 information, and it updates while scanning and loading.
118 - added self-starting feature, as known from many text
119 editors. if another MysticView is running, the commandline
120 option APPEND passes specified pictures/paths/patterns
121 to that instance. if no other MysticView is found, a new
122 instance will be started.
123 - shareware-nagging has been removed.
124 - added menu item "Add Pictures..." to the current
125 filelist.
126 - added menu item "Add from List..." to the current
127 filelist.
128 - static-palette rendering gives better results
129 (guigfx.library v15.2)
130 - filerequester simplified: the default filename is now
131 set to "#?", so committing "Okay" without selecting
132 any files will include the entire directory's contents.
133 - Added "First" function for skipping back to the
134 first picture in a list. Skipping back stops a slideshow.
135 - fixed a long-standing bug in mysticview.library that
136 caused pictures to be rendered incompletely in slideshows.
137 - the SLIDEDELAY tooltype setting is now measured in
138 1:10th of seconds, no longer in seconds.
139 - added PIP feature. (in this context it has nothing to
140 do with graphics card hardware). it's experimental -
141 do not use it, it doesn't work very well together with
142 opaque window sizing, thanks to these #?%&@! layer
143 cliprects.
144 - the neural network which tries to predict the user's
145 desired displaymode has changed. it has got more brains
146 now, and it differentiates more picture parameters,
147 but it also requires more training. the network is now
148 also recalled during window-resizing, thus MysticView
149 may immediately switch the displaymode. this makes the AI
150 feature a bit more transparent to the user, but also a
151 bit more nasty. simply let the menu item 'Options/Learn'
152 disabled if you think it's too confusing. recommended
153 reading: configuration/AUTODISPLAYMODE
154 - MysticView's commandline arguments are now sorted
155 alphabetically. this might interfere with any particularly
156 useful order, but at least you've got the chance to find
157 something.
158 - MysticView will never trash its window borders again, and
159 this ugly window-border-refresh-maintenance-signalling-task
160 is no longer needed and has been removed.
161 - added SHOWARROW option. when enabled, MysticView draws
162 small arrows at a picture's borders when it is not
163 fully visible. enabled by default.
164 - usability via keyboard has been improved. the space bar
165 is now used for 'one-hand' control of slideshows, which
166 is 'handy' for wanking over porn slides, for example. most
167 important functions are now available on the numeric
168 keypad.
169 - changed qualifiers for scrolling via keyboard. CTRL scrolls
170 by 100%, SHIFT by 10%, no qualifier scrolls by 1% per stroke.
171 - "Reset Display Settings" now reacts instantly, not only
172 when a new picture is getting displayed
173 - MysticView now instantly reacts to changes of the sort mode
174 and sorts the picture list while scanning/loading/viewing.
175 - the option KEEPIMAGE (i.e. keep the current image while
176 another one is being loaded) is obsolete and has been
177 removed.
178 - MysticView now correctly displays loading errors, and
179 automatically retries loading after flushing the cache
180 when the reason for failure was a lack of memory.
181 - new default background color.
182 - HAM artifacts have been reduced to an absolute minimum
183 (mysticview.library v4).
184 - added menu item "Remove". as the name suggests,
185 this function simply removes a picture from a list
186 (without deleting or moving)
187 - added menu item "Save List as..." for saving the current
188 list of pictures as a listfile.
189 - lists are identified by a tooltype in their respective
190 icon: "MYSTICVIEW_LISTFILE=YES". you can drag'n'drop
191 listfiles to MysticView's window or appicon now.
192 - workbench-integration has been improved even further:
193 you can start MysticView by double-clicking
194 preset and listfile icons, and even both at the same
195 time. (e.g. select a listfile, hold the shift key, and
196 doublelick a presetfile - or the other way round.) you
197 may also drag'n'drop listfile and preset icons on
198 MysticView's window (or appicon) at the same time, or
199 mix preset icons with pictures/directories/volumes.
200 - the displaymodes "keep aspect max", "onepixel" and
201 "fit to window" are no longer available in the menus.
202 the remaining items have been renamed to
203 "scale with aspect" and "display 1:1 pixel" (the last
204 one corresponds to the IGNOREASPECT mode).
205 - the option HIDEWITHPICTURE has been removed. MysticView
206 no longer flushes the current (and buffered) pictures
207 from memory when it gets iconified. scanning and
208 preloading now silently continue in the background.
209 - added an optional picture filter in filerequesters
210 (tooltype: FILTERPICTURES). requested by hexaae.
211 - requesting the previous picture stops a slideshow.
212 - added DEFAULTTOOL setting
213 - the REJECTPATTERN argument is now also used in
214 filerequesters, not only applied to the picture scanner.
215 - added tooltyoe items for a view's text and highlighting
216 colors (TEXTCOLOR, MARKCOLOR)
217 - added display refresh smoothing (SMOOTHDISPLAY). it will
218 interpolate modifications on the display (only zooming
219 and scrolling. rotating is not supported).
220 - added tooltypes HIDEONCLOSE and HIDEONESCAPE.
221 - the memory consumption for opaque-refreshing of
222 truecolor pictures on non-truecolor screens has been
223 reduced to only 25%, but its short-time peak memory
224 consumption is even worse than before.
225 - the picture cursor no longer trashes the window borders
226 when a picture is rotated, nor does it overwrite
227 the infotext. the picture cursor is no longer overwritten
228 by the rendered picture - it's visible all the time now.
229 - the cursor was placed incorrectly when the picture was
230 rotated and zoomed. fixed.
231 - some rare visual artifacts have been removed,
232 such as background areas using a deallocated pen
233 - with STARTPIC=none, MysticView did not always update its
234 display correctly. fixed.
235 - the former option PRELOAD is obsolete and has been removed.
236 the loader is configured with the new setting BUFFERPERCENT.
239 * 0.99f
240 - newicon thumbnail creation did not work properly. fixed.
241 - Thumbnail AutoUpdate now recognizes changes of the pictures
242 themselves, as well as changes of the thumbnail parameters.
243 - removed redundant modes from the screenmode requester.
244 - some minor bugfixes.
246 0.99e
247 - the neural network has been overworked.
248 - the AUTOSAVESETTINGS setting is no longer saved in the icon,
249 it is now part of the global configuration
250 - MysticView did not read its settings from an icon when it
251 was started as an icon's default tool. fixed.
252 - added AUTOCROP setting
254 0.99d
255 - added AUTODISPLAYMODE and a new menu entry "learn and predict".
256 if activated, MysticView uses a small neural network to learn the
257 user's desired displaymode for different kinds of pictures. "learn
258 and predict" does not care about the rarely used displaymodes
259 IGNOREASPECT and FIT. it will only learn from and try to predict
260 KEEPASPECT, KEEPASPECT2, and ONEPIXEL.
261 - added a new icon by M. Grothmann.
263 0.99c
264 - fixed display mode settings in the menus. mutual exclude
265 was broken since 0.99b.
266 - added menu item "rename to...". Renaming in this
267 context means moving a picture to any place in the
268 filing system. the difference towards "move picture"
269 is that the picture is kept in the current picture
270 list. requested by G. Hones.
271 - MysticView's screen comes to front when a picture
272 is dragged on the appicon. Requested by M. Grothmann.
274 0.99b
275 - the commandline arguments were broken as of v0.99. fixed.
276 - "reset display settings" is now considered when the display
277 mode is changed. requested by infinity.
278 - re-enabled the escape key for quitting. requested by
279 P. Habermehl and J. Urbanek
280 - added PRIORITY setting (normal, nice, low). the priority
281 is only considered when mysticview starts.
282 - the options menu has been completely restructured.
283 some settings have been removed from the menu, they are
284 only accessible throughout tooltypes now: Hide mode,
285 simple/smart refresh, keep image when hidden
286 - removed every second frame of the supplied animation from
287 the archive. it appeared somehow obscene to me to include
288 half a megabyte of animation data for silly demonstration
289 purposes
290 - by default the system's screen font is used for the
291 picture info text.
292 - added FONTSPEC tooltype for the picture info text.
293 syntax: size[,name]. example: FONTSPEC=8,topaz
294 - revised the documentation. many details did not reflect
295 recent changes.
296 - with LMBACTION=NEXT, only mouseclicks that exactly hit the
297 picture will actually advance the picture list.
298 - slightly modified the supplied example presets.
300 * 0.99a
301 - pictures moved to another directory are now removed from
302 a list.
303 - the package contained outdated versions of some libraries,
304 and the installer did not update correclty. fixed.
305 - the icons in the v0.99 archive still contained the old
306 tooltype settings. fixed.
308 0.99
309 - added configurable left mousebutton action ('drag' or 'next')
310 - a default preset path is no longer defined.
311 - fixed a bug in the presetfile generation.
312 - fixed the startup. MysticView's icon settings were
313 read and interpreted twice.
315 0.98j
316 - renamed NOLOOP to LOOP, NORECURSE to RECURSE, RENDERMEM to
317 RENDERQUALITY.
318 - all former boolean-type settings are now keyword settings.
319 the keywords are "YES" and "NO".
320 - removed the DEFICON tooltype.
321 - SCROPENMODE "NONE" has been renamed to "DEFAULT".
322 - restuctured the menus.
323 - configurable paths and presets are now stored in env:/envarc:
324 and saved automatically. this greatly enhances comfort and
325 usability.
326 - file management requesters are no longer opened on the default
327 pubscreen, but rather on MysticView's screen.
328 - Mysticview now uses the Workbench's SA_Pens when opening a
329 new screen
330 - added slideshow/no delay option.
331 - added RESETDISPLAY setting. if enabled, the zoom/position/rotation
332 settings are reset between pictures.
333 - the installer no longer overwrites an already existing icon.
334 - MysticView is no longer iconified when the close button is clicked
335 or Escape is pressed. Iconify has to be invoked seperately.
336 - changed some default settings.
337 - added auto thumbnailing.
338 - removed shareware limitation for thumbnail functions.
339 - MysticView now creates icons for its preset files.
340 - MysticView can now be started by doubleclicking a preset icon.
341 - preset files can be dragged to MysticView's window.
343 0.98i
344 - fixed mouse movement problem that somtimes occured when MysticView's
345 screen was left or re-activated. thanks to persistant nagging
346 from Joker. this was a MysticView bug and NOT caused by MCP.
347 - fixed asl file requester enforcer hit
348 - the same picture is no longer preloaded in the background when
349 only one picture is in the queue.
350 - included some more semaphore protections to the background
351 picture handler
352 - fixed a rejectpattern bug/enforcer hit when no rejectpattern
353 was specified
354 - added menu item "Negative"
355 - added some busy pointers
356 - changed some hardcoded defaults and default settings in the
357 distribution.
358 - iconify mode default is now hardcoded to NO.
359 - a picture is no longer reloaded when "keep image when hidden"
360 is selected, slideshow mode is active, only one picture is
361 in the queue, and MysticView gets uniconified. the same applies
362 if the screen/windowmode is changed ("keep image when hidden"
363 is not considered in this case)
365 0.98h
366 - you can now completely disable mysticview's logo by setting
367 STARTPIC=none. mysticview now starts when a startpic wasn't
368 found.
369 - fixed a tiny memory leak in the settings that could occur with
370 some options.
371 - added THUMBSIZE and THUMBCOLORS.
372 - improved subtask stability
373 - added REJECTPATTERN
374 - the startpic file requester could produce an enforcer hit. fixed.
376 * 0.98g
377 - fixed slideshow bug: when only one picture was selected
378 and slideshow plus loop mode was activated, the picture
379 was reloaded over and over again. reported by Joker.
380 - minor aspect problems fixed.
381 - the image aspect is now displayed in the information
382 textline.
384 0.98f
385 - added JPEG saving. (no options yet. default saving
386 quality used).

389 0.98e
390 - added autodither.
391 - fixed timing problems in slideshow mode.
393 0.98d
394 - MysticView now requires mysticview.library.
396 0.98c
397 - MysticView has been slightly sped-up on truecolor displays.
398 - added ZOOMSTEP.
399 - limited newicon thumbnails to a size of 80x80 pixels and
400 64 colors. this will speed up the icon display on your
401 Workbench. (this is still no final solution, though.)
402 - added configurable slots for preset files. they can be
403 accessed throughout CTRL F1 ... F10 and configured
404 by selecting them from the menu. requested by H. Richter.
405 - the same scheme now applies to the configurable destination
406 paths for copying/moving. keyboard executes, menu selection
407 configures.
408 - slideshows didn't always stop immediately. fixed.
409 - the REQUESTFILE option is now considered after a slideshow
410 stopped. requested by P. Habermehl.
411 - implemented SHOWCURSOR.

413 setting SCROPENMODE=CUSTOM/PUBLIC/NONE replaces the former
414 tooltype CUSTOMSCREEN.
415 - added CX_PRIORITY, CX_POPKEY and CX_POPUP.
416 MysticView is now a commodity. ESC to hide, Amiga-Q to quit.
417 note: 'hide' keeps the current image - and you keep that in
418 mind when you iconify MysticView with a 2880x1440x24 image :)
419 - the screen is no longer closed and reopened for the change of
420 window settings.
421 - fixed a memory allocation bug with the PUBSCREEN setting.
422 - many minor changes
423 - added AUTOHIDE.
424 - the picture aspect is now handled for thumbnails.
425 - added pubscreen select and default/public/custom menu items.
426 - added appicon
427 - added rotation. (preliminary. SHOWCURSOR and grid refresh doesn't
428 work corretly with the image being rotated)
429 - fixed install script for 030/FPU version. Reported by B. Murray.
430 - deleted pictures are now removed from the list and MysticView
431 advances to the next picture. requested by P. Dahlberg.
432 - added ROTATESTEP
433 - added DEFICON
434 - added CONFIRM. requested by P. Dahlberg.
435 - added HIDEWITHPICTURE.
436 - added ICONIFY.
438 0.98b
439 - fixed PUBSCREEN setting. pubscreens have got precedence
440 over CUSTOMSCREEN now. reported by P. Habermehl and M.
441 Kilimann.
442 - fixed MysticView's new icon to use only required colors.
443 reported by M. Kilimann.
444 - looping and AUTOQUIT are now applied in general,
445 not only in slideshow mode. requested by P. Habermehl.
447 * 0.98a
448 - forgot to implement NORECURSE tooltype setting. fixed.
449 - added NOLOOP and AUTOQUIT settings. requested by P. Habermehl.
450 - most important recent change: new default background color :)
451 - implemented SORTMODE none/random/alpha
452 - added limitations for unregistered users. :)
454 0.97h
455 - added DITHERMODE setting. implemented EDD dithering.
456 - renamed DITHER to DITHERING.
457 - pictures that could not be loaded no longer interrupt
458 slideshows, and a proper error message will be displayed.
459 - added Delete Picture.
460 - copy/move/delete now applies to the pictures' icons, too.
461 - added STARTPIC setting.
462 - restructured menus.
463 - added Flip Horizontally and Flip Vertically.
464 - MysticView now creates an icon for its settings, if necessary.
465 - implemented loading and saving of presets, added PRESETPATH
466 and PRESETFILE settings
467 - fixed DEFAULT option. now the defaults are overridden by
468 arguments specified in the command line.
470 0.97g
471 - the preload task's priority has been reset to -1.
472 - added newicon thumbnail feature. (preliminary,
473 for experimental purposes only)
475 * 0.97f
476 - added preloading.
477 - added invisible close and screenback gadgets. this works
478 only when both the settings WINSIZEMODE=FULL and
479 BACKDROP are specified.
480 - MysticView no longer forgets the current filename when
481 the configuration is changed, and slideshows will be
482 continued.
483 - added some more keyboard shortcuts
484 - dropped the german documentation, created a guide file and
485 an install script
487 0.97e
488 - added picture information and PICINFO setting
489 - implemented a new picture-management class consisting
490 of several subtasks.
491 - slideshow now works as expected. (preload is not
492 yet re-implemented, though)
493 - fixed many menu-related problems and improved menu layout
494 - added copy to..., move to... for 10 configurable slots each.
495 - all path/filenames are now handled dynamically
496 - with the REQUESTFILE option enabled, a requester no
497 longer pops up when images were specified at startup.
498 - improved memory management
499 - when initialization fails, a requester is shown for
500 retry, cancel, or retry using defaults.
501 - added LISTFILE commandline option. it allows to specify a
502 list file from where to fetch pictures.
503 - added Open List File... menu and LISTPATH config.
504 - the window border is now refreshed correctly (after approx.
505 1/5 second. guess what, a subtask is used here. opaque window
506 sizing would suffer too much from refreshing the window border
507 all the time :)
508 - finally! MysticView should close down gently now if the required
509 versions of guigfx or render.library could not be opened (#&§@%!?)
510 - new icon tooltypes are created dynamically. no need to upgrade
511 MysticView's icon anymore.
513 0.97d
514 - the configuration is now saved to MysticView's icon.
515 - menu items didn't toggle correctly (forgot MENUTOGGLE.
516 what the heck, why does this work with MagicMenu ;)
517 - added more CTRL_C exit breakpoints

520 - major menu layout rework
521 - added AUTOSAVESETTINGS
522 - added PREVIEWMODE
523 - added grid refresh
524 - fixed lots of minor quirks and problems
526 0.97c
527 - slightly improved screenmode selection logic:
528 default screen size is now the workbench's visual
529 dimensions, no longer its absolute size.
530 - re-implemented screenaspect tooltypes (thanks to ZZA :)
531 - added slideshow mode
532 - MysticViw now reads its configuration from the icon,
533 even when started from shell. commandline arguments
534 simply override the settings from the icon's tooltypes.
535 - added mouse scrolling - it's now possible to drag the
536 picture around in MysticView's window.
537 - added a lot of menu items
538 - improved HAM refresh logic
539 - the screen's title bar is no longer obscured in
540 WINOPENMODE=VISIBLE and without BACKDROP mode.
541 - added MODEID, SCRWIDTH, SCRHEIGHT
542 - added screenmode requester
544 0.97b
545 - MysticView crashed without cybergraphics. Fixed.
547 0.97a
548 - The display part has been rewritten. Now a daemon-like
549 view-class handles the display as a background task.
550 the new display logic is faster.
551 - implemented zooming and scrolling in all displaymodes
552 (except for DISPLAYMODE=FIT).
553 - implemented DISPLAYMODE KEEPASPECT2 and IGNOREASPECT.
554 DISPLAYMODE=ONEPIXEL has got a slightly different meaning now.
555 - implemented asychronous, recursive directory scanning.
