• PrivateEye 3.14

    From David Thomas@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 23 19:38:03 2022
    PrivateEye is a viewer for Sprites, DrawFiles, JPEGs, ArtWorks, GIFs and
    PNGs. It also has editing features including bitmap effects and
    rotation.

    Version 3.14 is a minor update with a selection of tweaks:

    * When loading new images the "Fit to screen" mode will now only ever
    scale downwards. This is more helpful than the previous behaviour
    which would scale small images up to needlessly enormous proportions.
    Note that the "Fit screen" button on the scale view dialogue is
    unaffected.
    * The data transfer system has had an upgrade:
    * An app-to-app transfer won't result in <Wimp$Scrap> used in title
    bars now. It'll use <untitled> in title bars, and ImageFile when
    saving an image with no known name. Received files are marked as
    modified too. This matches the behaviour of standard RISC OS apps.
    * Message_DataOpen template mode (when est_size is -2) is supported
    (it's not super useful because PrivateEye's not a full editor, but
    it is in there).
    * libpng has been upgraded to 1.6.37.

    There are also a selection of bug fixes.

    PrivateEye is freeware.

    It's available to install via PackMan, or directly from this download
