Changelog for fotoxx-22.20-lp155.128.9.x86_64.rpm :

* Sat Jul 16 2022 Marcin Bajor - Update to 22.20- New: Batch > Convert Adobe: convert an Adobe document file (.pdf .ps .eps) into a set of jpeg files, 1 file per page. This uses ghostscript.- Warp > Stretch: Add or remove barrel or pincushion distortion. This can fix RAW file lens distortion when lens parameters are missing or ineffective.- Gallery Sort: new: sort by metadata from the Search function metadata report (e.g. sort results by camera + ISO + exposure time).- The function to add an overlay image (for credit, copyright ...) to selected host images was moved from Batch Convert to a new function, Batch Overlay. The overlay image can also be placed anywhere on the host images.- Image captions can now be sourced from any metadata items.- The utility to map camera pixel bias and compensate image files was removed. It was too difficult to use and not very effective (for the cameras tested).- Limited support was added for Adobe file types .pdf .ps .eps- CMYK jpeg files are now supported.- Copy/Move: move-to location is remembered, index to next file is optional.- Left mouse + ALT key works as right mouse (useful for touchscreen).- Removed kludges for GTK bug now fixed (source comment \"not needed\").- Line wrap was implemented for long titles/descriptions displayed over image. This also applies for optional metadata text display in slide show.- Repair > Denoise: new method added: Symmetric Nearest Neighbor.- Bugfix: parameters dialog: set image position option may crash.- Bugfix: parameters dialog: change map marker size did nothing.- Tools > Popup Text: added [Edit] button for easier customization. (user-defined cache of special characters for input into text widgets)- Select > Copy/Complex: new tool for copy and paste of areas having complex and/or low-contrast boundaries. Similar to prior \"Select Hairy\".- Preferences: most changes no longer require an application restart.- PT Panorama was removed because underlying tool [Hugin] has disappeared.- Windows WSL: speedup code was removed. Fotoxx under WSL is fast enough for image files in the Linux file system ( /home//Pictures/... ) but too slow for files in the NTFS file system ( /mnt/C/Users/... )- Windows WSL: use higher tolerance for file mod-time difference detection.- New: Rename Folder: rename the current folder (image gallery).- Album Create: better UI direction when creating an initially empty album.- New: Batch Copy/Move: copy or move selected image files to a new folder.- Show RGB: reduce CPU loading: repaint only if a monitored pixel changes.- Developer menu: New: toggle display of popup text for mouse events.- Preferences: image justification in window can be left/center/right.- \"Select Hairy\" was incorporated into the main Select Area function. This is now easier to use, but still a significant learning curve.- New: Tools > Popup Text: popup special text/characters to use in edits.- Bugfix: Remove Halo: \'undo\' drag: crash if pixel RGB is 0/0/0.- Bugfix: Crop: drag crop edge over window edge: drag fails to release.- Bugfix: Select > Edge Blend: zero contrast area creates \'nan\' RGB values.- Bugfix: Markup > Oval: stop automatic draw of prior oval.- Bugfix: Copy From Image: set current rescale value in dialog widget.- Montage: function was renamed to \"Image Table\" (make a table of images).- Image Table improvements:
* User can choose the background color (was: white only).
* Table margins: row and column spacing can now be set separately.
* Downscaled images have higher quality than bilinear interpolation.- Copy in Image: more flexible source/destination location synchronization.- Copy/Move: auto index to next file if dialog is kept open.- Remove Halo: new: remove halo effect sometimes left by sharpen, etc.- Rotate: [crop] button in rotate dialog: auto-crop rotate margins.- Bugfix: Paint Image: correct default image for color selection.- Bugfix: use memmove() not strcpy() in double to string conversion.- Bugfix: Crop: [max] button result may be 1 pixel short of maximum size.- Bugfix: plug minor memory leak in File Save function.- New GDK bug workaround: add window hide/show calls to force update.- Bugfix: crop [max] button was not working right for rotated image.- Album Mass Update: report shows before/after files only where changed.- Batch Convert: new option: upsize files to specified width/height limits.- New: Effects > Soft Focus: simulate a classic film photography method.- New gallery sort option: compare file names omitting embedded numbers, sort in numeric order: xxx1x.jpg < xxx3x.jpg < xxx23x.jpg < xxx101x.jpg- New: Gallery > Add Subfolder: add new subfolder to an existing folder.- Bugfix: Index may fail to refresh the current gallery for changed files.- Bugfix: Crop: fix small difference between input and actual image size.- Update appimage libraries to those available in early 2020, and remove exiftool and dcraw in favor of the current release in user system.- Gallery File Selection: thumbnails are highlighted when selected.- Escape key from gallery or map view mode: set file view mode.- Menu icons were redesigned and some menu names revised.- Make thumbnail image brightness correspond to source image alpha channel.- Added hidden menu option for developer tools: $ fotoxx -devmenu- Markup functions: UI now easier to make multiple markups in sequence.- Local Contrast: sporadic halos at edges of select area are suppressed.- Autosearch: location for search parameters file: \'saved_searches\' folder.- New: check and report required/optional outboard programs and functions.- Preferences: remove video pick list - allow any video play command.- Album Mass Update: popup log report details album file changes made.- Bugfix: some RAW file thumbnails were rotated 90 degrees.- Bugfix: better detection of inconsistent settings in Batch Convert dialog.- Bugfix: stop popup message windows from taking focus (minor nuisance).- Bugfix: copy/move: if current file is moved, set no current file.- Bugfix: if out of disk space during edit, warn user: save file and quit.

* Wed Jan 02 2019 Marcin Bajor - Update to 19.0- Functional Changes:
* Menus were unified to be the same for all views: File, Gallery, Map. (Reduce confusion for new users and generally improve ease of use.)
* The top 3 menu buttons (File, Gallery, Map) can set the respective view mode with mouse right-click. Left-click opens the function menu [unchanged].
* Galleries can now be sorted by file size [bytes] or image size [pixels].
* Zoom behavior change: zoom size and position is now retained when stepping through a series of images. Use the Z key to return to \'fit window\' mode.
* Map View: zoom in/out with left/right click as alternative to mouse wheel.
* Manage Albums: removing or moving multiple images within or across albums was made easier. There are two new mass change utilities for updating album files after multiple images have been edited and saved as new versions. Create Album has the option to immediately select initial files.
* New [arty] Warp functions: Inside-out, Tiny Planet, Stretch.
* New [arty] Effects function: Dither: 4 ways to posterize/pixelize an image.
* New Combine function: Stack/Layer: stack multiple edits of the same image, select which version is shown in each image area by mouse painting/blending.
* New Color Balance function: automatic white balance and black level. The white balance spot-click option also has an improved algorithm.
* Search Images: metadata search: new convenience pick-list of likely items.
* The escape key can now be used to terminate some long-running functions (focus must be on main window, not on a dialog window).
* Select Area Finish: (validate and check for outline gaps) areas selected by mouse-painting or color-matching are now automatically finished. Areas outlined by hand can be finished individually (as before) or all at once.
* Copy/Move image file: now includes optional rename.- Technical Changes:
* The index format was revised. Re-indexing of image collection is required. (will run faster than usual because new thumbnails are not needed).
* Crash [zappcrash] file is now copied to the desktop. The previous \'pop-up\' approach was not reliable for all Linux window manager flavors.
* The fotoxx-appimage package no longer needs the Exiftool package. This is now included within the appimage container.
* The term \'folder\' has replaced \'directory\' in dialogs and the User Guide.
* Many image edit dialogs were formatted smaller to cover less image area.
* Many dialog and report windows now remember their last user-adjusted size. This compensates for size variability from font, language, and metadata.
* \'Sync Gallery\' now has the more sensible name \'Source Folder\'. (you will need to edit your shortcuts list to match the new name)
* Maximum image size was increased to 500 megapixels (8 GB unpacked) (at least 32 GB main memory is needed to edit images this large).
* The Fotoxx server process [exiftool] for handling metadata will no longer persist as a zombie if the main process is killed or exits abnormally.
* Slide Show: image pan/zoom was made fast enough for use with a 4K monitor driven by a typical desktop computer (4 processor cores, 2+ GHz).
* Thumbnail files corresponding to invalid top image folders are no longer deleted. This is to reduce indexing time for an external disks that is sometimes present [mounted] and sometimes not.- Bug Fixes:
* Replace Album File: failed to use the original [unedited] image file as the prior version for the first edited version.
* Magnify function: scrambled the image in areas having transparency.
* Drag and drop album image - gallery could continue scrolling after drop.
* Race condition crash - gallery initialization and preload-thumbs thread.
* Script file containing multiple edit functions: it was possible for an edit function to start before the prior edit function was completed.
* Retouch function used in a script: failed to process curve settings.
* Bad metadata (e.g. year 0000) could cause date-based reports to fail.
* Manage Albums: Remove cache files: crash if select albums and then cancel.
* Index function: nested [overlapping] folders were not being rejected.
* Rare failure in undo/redo was fixed: \"resource temporarily unavailable\".
* Copy to Desktop omitted edits that had not yet been saved to a file.
* An incorrect resource locking method was causing [rare] UI lockups.
* All Fotoxx menu functions were exercised using GCC -fsanitize=address. Several bugs were fixed that were serious enough to cause a crash.
* A blank line in the list of user-defined \'extra\' metadata caused a crash.
* Area copy/paste had a misleading user interface, making it hard to use.
* Sun Jul 29 2018 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.07.1- Makefile and source code revisions to get past new GCC errors and warnings. There were no functional changes or bug fixes.
* Mon Jul 02 2018 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.07- Functional Changes
* Zonal Retinex is around 5x faster for large images and high zone count.
* A single Blur menu now consolidates all six blur functions: normal blur, radial blur, directed blur, graduated blur, paint blur, background blur.
* Normal blur is around 3x faster and radius limit was raised from 200 to 999.
* Radial Blur - new function: Blur is directed outwards from a chosen center.
* Image Differences - new function: Subtract one image from another. These can be variably offset, magnified, and edited for artistic effects.
* Copy Pixels: Image areas can be copied directly from a source to a target image via mouse \'painting\'. Copy process can be scaled to fit the target.
* Run Script: Apply a custom script to the current image file with one click. Works like an edit function - much faster than setting up a batch script.
* Keyboard shortcuts can be defined for the common dialog completion buttons.
* Trim/Rotate: If an image was leveled, a minor sharpen is done automatically.
* Find Duplicate Images: This runs much faster for a huge image collection. Input can be all images or the current gallery (e.g. Search Images output).
* Smart Erase: power lines or other long thin features can be more easily erased by clicking at intervals along the line.
* Search Images: Date \"null\" can be used to find images having no photo date. BUSY indicator was added for long searches (non-indexed metadata). New option: retrieve all versions for images meeting search criteria. Wildcards can be used when searching metadata for matching text.
* Slide Show: The dialog for specifying image events was simplified. Duration for animated transitions and image zooms is specified directly in seconds (instead of fiddling parameters by trial and error). New transition type: image \'disintegrates\' to reveal new image.
* Gallery view: more/less metadata is shown with bigger/smaller thumbnail size.
* List view: now includes image pixel dimensions and file size in megabytes.
* Paint Edits can now be used with: Color Mode, Shift Colors, Adjust RGB.
* Batch Convert and Batch RAW: new options for output file type and bit depth.
* Batch Delete/Trash: Deleted files are automatically purged from all albums. (formerly this was not done until the next time an album was opened).
* Manage Albums: Rename option added (formerly you had to use a file manager).
* The restriction on sorting albums was removed, but the output is a new album instead of replacing the input album. New name is \'oldname-sorted\'.
* New album function: Revert to current album or open last-used album.
* Change Language: this setting is now preserved across Fotoxx sessions (previously reverted to user locale at next Fotoxx startup).- Technical Changes:
* Menu popup help text: better positioning to avoid covering nearby menu.
* Fotoxx home can more easily be moved to a new location. User settings and customizations are preserved. Re-indexing of image files is not required.
* Custom script files were relocated to /custom_scripts.
* Galleries are now limited to 25K images to avoid window manager lock-up. Image searches exceeding this limit are truncated with notification.
* File size in megabytes added to the image index (effective after re-index). This is also shown in gallery view if zoom size is large enough to fit.
* Many menu names were simplified and shortened for faster visual lookup. More commonly used menus were moved toward the top of the list.
* Because of the menu renaming, Keyboard shortcuts are reset to the defaults. Any custom shortcuts you have made must be redefined.
* The [+] and [-] keys can no longer be used for rapid increment/decrement of a numeric widget setting. Use the up/down arrow keys instead.- Bug Fixes:
* Show map locations for current gallery images: crashed if empty gallery.
* Cosmetic flaw in custom [small] spin buttons (e.g. 0.1 showed as 0.100003).
* Restore lost keyboard shortcut for menu \"File Save as New Version\".
* Video files with embedded quotes (\") in file names would not play.
* Index image files: rare failure to create a thumbnail (self-correcting).
* Slide Show animated image transitions are smoother (minimum jitter).
* Search Images: If search-to date is \'yyyy-mm\', default correct \'dd\' 28-31.
* Favorites: stop spurious false error message \"xxx.png file not found\".
* Batch Photo Date-Time: failed for image files having no EXIF date-time.
* Preserving the current file/gallery/album across sessions failed if the file/gallery/album file name had embedded blanks.
* Edit Metadata: if custom metadata items for image index were missing for a file being edited, useless error messages were added to the log file.
* Crash in preload_thumbs() if galleries are switched 10+ times per second (e.g. using the arrow keys to race through months in the timeline report).
* Crash if Measure Noise is used while the Denoise function is still working.
* Crash if certain functions are used after starting fotoxx with no index.
* Some scrollable reports did not scroll when using the KB up/down arrow keys to move the currently selected row beyond the top or bottom of the window.
* The image function \"Copy to Desktop\" did not work for non-English locales.
* The User Guide was audited and many errors and omissions were corrected.
* Wed May 02 2018 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.01.4- The Italian translation was updated.- Bugfix: Removed cosmetic defect in the custom [small] spin buttons.- Bugfix: Fast image rotate function was inadvertently called in the wrong place, causing lower quality in user functionality. Revert to high quality function.- The German translation was cleaned up by a real native German speaker.- Bugfix: Help > Quick Start showed English version for non-English locales.
* Sat Jan 06 2018 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.01.1- Bug Fix: Crash in metadata related functions if the default tag category \'nocatg\' has been deleted. This is now replaced automatically.
* Mon Jan 01 2018 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.01- Technical Changes:
* The image index format was revised, requiring a new index initialization. This runs fast (up to 7000/min.) since new thumbnails are not needed.
* Image Index initialization: work is now divided among 4 parallel threads. On a computer with 4 processor cores and an SSD disk, indexing is about 3x faster (ca. 6000/min). There is no speedup for a rotating disk (1000/min).
* The maximum thread count for some functions was increased from 4 to 8, to better utilize the newest processors from Intel and AMD.
* Use of the shell \'find\' command was mostly replaced with calls to glob(). This is fail-safe against special characters in file names.
* There is now an option to place the Fotoxx home directory wherever wanted. The file \"/home//.fotoxx-home\" may be used to set a custom location.
* Font for gallery windows is 1 point less than the user setting for dialogs.
* Retained geocoordinate precision was improved (now within 1 meter).
* Many GTK widgets were downsized by reducing unnecessary margin padding. This can be revised or undone by editing the file \"widgets.css\".
* The custom [small] spin button widget now spins increasingly faster when the +/- key or up/down arrow key is held down more than 1 second.- Functional Changes:
* The image index may now include up to 20 user-defined metadata items (search speed for indexed metadata is >1000x faster than non-indexed).
* The restriction on sorting a metadata report was removed.
* Effects > Pattern: GUI improvements and better responsiveness.
* Updating Albums: GUI improvements to make it easier to update affected albums after an image file is updated or a new version is created.
* Play video: Keyboard commands revised: \'P\' to play/stop/resume, \'Q\' to quit.
* New slide show transition: the next image swells up from the middle and compresses the previous image out to the sides.
* Galleries retain both sort and scroll position within and across sessions. All galleries can be reset to \'file name ascending\' order with one button.
* Retouch-Combo: GUI improved for setting white balance and black point.
* Retinex: new edit function to improve color and contrast for images with extreme fog/haze or color cast (e.g. a scan of a 100 year-old photo). Retinex can also be used to add flair to most other images.
* Batch Photo Date/Time: new function to fix missing or wrong photo date/time, or shift the date/time a given amount (e.g. camera in wrong time zone).
* Batch Geotags: Location and Country can be updated without changing existing geocoordinates (e.g. rationalize chaotic names from the camera GPS).
* Keyboard navigation: some search and select functions that output a list now allow navigation of the list using the arrow, page and home/end keys. You can also enter text to make the list scroll to the next entry with matching text.
* KB shortcuts: most can be customized, most are now available in gallery view. The menu functions that can have shortcuts were expanded from 27 to 94.
* Menu font and background colors can be set to match a \'theme\' or personal taste (these are generated graphics and do not follow themes automatically).
* Two batch RAW conversion functions were consolidated into one, with options.
* Search Images: search by file mod date added (in addition to photo date).
* View360 function: View a 360° panorama image (e.g. Google photosphere). Viewpoint can turn through 360° and wrap-around by dragging the mouse.
* Manage Tags: stop auto-delete of unused tags. User must delete if unwanted.
* Mosaic: made much faster by using parallel threads. Blend is now instant.
* KB shortcuts: make \'+\' work as \'zoom-in\' for any keyboard layout.
* Zonal Flatten: allow zone count = 1 (i.e. use the entire image distribtion).
* Adjust HSL: use a sample spot of 3x3 pixels instead of one pixel.
* Gallery view: use arrow keys to index current file and jump across galleries.
* Revised menu names: Zonal Flatten > Flatten, Tone Mapping > Gradients, Flip Image > Mirror Image, Write Text > Add Text, Write Line > Add Line, Brightness Gradient > Brightness Ramp, Local Color > Zonal Colors- Bug Fixes:
* Panorama: PNG images with alpha channels were sometimes made invisible.
* Possible lockup after a long image indexing process. Exiftool memory leak.
* Brightness Ramp: direction line sometimes persisted after function exit.
* Albums: stop removal of videos from album if \'ffmpeg\' or \'totem\' is missing.
* All directories tree: possible crash if navigating via keyboard arrow keys.
* Search Images metadata report: missing data for the first image in the list.
* Search Images with metadata selection criteria: minor memory leak plugged.
* Vertical Panorama: fine alignment via mouse caused image to partly disappear.
* Favorites menu: stop crash if assigned menu name is a \'top\' menu.
* Favorites menu: stop movement of menu position if \'user settings\' selected.
* The interface to Raw Thereapee was updated for changes in Raw Therapee.
* Some keyboard shortcut keys were not working for non-English locales.
* Spurious \"kill active dialog\" message if image-index [x] button is used.
* Crash \"max. dialogs exceeded\" after 15 \"Edit Brightness\" done in a script.
* Stop spurious log file diagnostic from thumbnail clicks: \"f_open re-entry\".
* Batch Utilities: stop flashing of title bar with each file opened.
* Crash \"no thumbnail directory\" needed a better diagnostic.
* Image Index: RAW files were being omitted (auto updated when referenced).
* Make all date/time input formats the same.- User Guide: The user guide was audited to fix many minor errors and omissions. The images were all updated and some were enlarged for better visibility. A clickable table of contents and a clickable topic index were added.- Wayland Note: Fotoxx works OK with Wayland/Xwayland with one exception: when an image is zoomed-in by clicking on a spot, the pointer no longer follows the spot but stays fixed. This is a known bug or omission (only user can move pointer).
* Tue Aug 08 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.08.2- Bugfix: crash if invalid thumbnail parameter is inherited from a prior release.
* Fri Aug 04 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.08.1- Bugfix: crash in new \'list view\' function with never-indexed image directory.
* Tue Aug 01 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.08- Technical Changes
* Thumbnails were enlarged to 512 pixels for faster galleries when using large thumbnails. To implement, delete your thumbnails directory and re-index.
* Use of shell \"cp filename\" was replaced with a copyfile() function, which makes batch functions fail-safe against special characters in file names.
* New widget types were implemented to make some dialogs smaller, covering less of the image being viewed. Number values can be indexed up or down using the mouse wheel, keyboard up/down arrow keys, or the [+] [-] keys. The shift key can be held down to increase the step size and speed by 10x.- Functional Changes
* Video files display as both images (initial frame) and gallery thumbnails. Click to play. Also editable metadata, albums, search, and slide show play.
* Maps: save and recall user-named map locations (map position and scale).
* Panorama: the flatten function was made variable and reversible.
* Retouch Combo: the curve edit user interface was improved.

* Search Images: match \'all\' or \'any\' logic was implemented for location.
* Gallery List View expanded: show small thumbnails + most relevant metadata.- Bug Fixes
* Slide Show: workaround for GDK pixbuf scaling bug.
* Flickr Upload stopped working and was removed. Flickr and other photo web services can do this directly. The User Guide describes a simple procedure.
* A startup album name (if any) was getting replaced with blanks.
* Retouch Combo: failed if directory for saved settings is missing (create it).
* Index Image Files: failed if recent files file is missing (create it).
* Possible crash if Trim/Rotate [level] button is used (EXIF tilt angle).
* Sat Jul 01 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.04.3- Bug Fixes
* Manage Albums, Choose Album: [cancel] left all album menus disabled.
* Slide Show, zoom image function: fix memory leak.
* Select Area, Find Gap: crash if gap search killed before complete.
* EXIF data update: poss. crash if input keyword data is null.
* Color Profile: liblcms2 can produce RGB values < 0. Replaced these with 0.
* File index process sometimes omitted a few files. This was self-repairing.
* Metadata Report: leafpad fails to display report file - replaced it.
* Mon May 08 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.04.2- Bug Fixes:
* Workaround for GTK draw event loop in Paint Image palette color selection.
* Retouch Combo: always update distribution graph for dialog widget changes.

* Retouch Combo: [reset] omitted reset of \"amplify\" slider.
* Popup menus: offset from mouse position to make menu cancel easier.
* Sat Apr 01 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.04- Technical
* Source code revisions for GTK API changes (Ubuntu 17.04, Fedora 25).
* Implementation of AppImage, a distro-agnostic packaging format.
* Smoother gallery scrolling via thread to pre-fetch thumbnail images.- Functionality
* Image Montage: join selected images together into a compact table format. Images included in the table can be clicked to show a full-size image.
* Paint Image: modified to make it easier to use with a Wacom tablet.
* Paint Image: use any image as a custom color palette - click to select color.
* Edited images get an automatic tag, allowing \"edited\" as a search criteria.
* Alien Colors effect: repaint an image or area with random strange colors.
* Stack/Paint: Transient forground objects can be removed automatically, and a moving subject can be shown in multiple positions against the background.
* Twist effect: twist or swirl an image around a mouse-selected central point.
* Script Files: most of the special effects functions are now scriptable.
* Denoise - measure noise: the noise is more completely characterized.
* The desktop wallpaper functions were removed because they stopped working.- User Interface
* Paint Image and Clone Image were split into separate functions.
* Trim/Rotate: margin sides can be dragged in addition to the corners.
* Rename, Copy/Move, Delete/Trash: options were added to keep these dialogs open or not (keep open is easier/faster if processing multiple files).
* Albums can now be sorted like any other gallery, but cannot be edited when in an out-of-sequence condition. To edit, re-open the album.
* User Settings: an album name can be specified as the startup gallery.- Bug Fixes:
* Startup with file parameter: now works for absolute or relative file name.
* Correctly handle file and directory names containing \'$\' characters.
* Voodoo functions can now be assigned to shortcut keys like any other.
* Disallow re-sorting of a metadata report, which loses the link between images and their metadata. Sort the gallery before generating the report.
* Copy to Desktop or Clipboard: an edited but unsaved file copies correctly.
* Trim/Rotate: stop sporadic motion of zoomed image when margins are dragged.
* Tue Feb 28 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update tp 17.01.2- Bug Fixes:
* Read TIFF file with alpha channel: alpha was being ignored.
* Panorama: crash if images have too little overlap.
* Sat Jan 14 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.01.1- Bug Fixes:
* Rare crash at startup after new image files are found and indexed. This is self-repairing at the next startup.
* Crash if the de-noise dialog is quit with the measure-noise dialog open.
* Sun Jan 01 2017 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 17.01- New Functionality:
* Show the entire image directory hierarchy with [+] and [-] buttons to expand or contract subdirectories at each level. Click any entry for a gallery view.
* Blend Image: Paint with the mouse to blend pixels within the mouse circle.
* Replace Album File: Make it easier to update albums whenever member images are added or updated. Replace a given old image with a given new image, in selected (or all) albums, or add the new image after the old.
* Maps: An option was added to show markers only for images in the current gallery (e.g. search results or album). The default is to show all images.
* Color Mode: A new option was added to \"rotate\" the colors (RGB -> BRG), and each function operates on prior results instead of the original image.
* Three new slide show transitions: turn-cube, windmill, pixelize.
* Adjust HSL: both source and target colors can be selected with mouse clicks.
* Slide Show - button to use current gallery (no album selection).- Efficiency Improvements:
* Image indexing is 1.9x faster for 5400 rpm disk (slight speedup for SSD).
* Thumbnail caching is more efficient, gallery scrolling a little smoother.- User Interface Improvements:

* Report by location and date-groups: If only a country is selected, the output gallery did not include all locations within that country.
* Metadata report: Failed if no prior reported items list was found.
* Sort gallery by file or photo date: Avoid sorting subdirectories (leave them at the top of the list and in alphabetic order)
* Thu Nov 17 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.11.1- Bugfix: If no image files have location data (city and country), adding a location for the first time may cause Fotoxx to crash.
* Fri Nov 04 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.11- New: Upload selected image files to the Flickr photo web service.- New: Unwarp Close-up: Reverse the distortion of a close-up face photo or selfie (balloon face, big nose).- Location names may now encompass multiple [nearby] geocoordinates. When editing a photo geotag, select a map marker or add a new one. The image selection range of a map marker scales with the map scale.- Albums can be auto-updated when image files are edited to new versions.- Text config files for two Metadata reports were replaced with proper GUIs.- Add Text and Add Lines/Arrows: style information (font, size, color ...) can be saved to a file and re-used, to avoid many inputs.
* Tue Oct 18 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.10.3- Bugfix: occaisional crash when saving to new file name or new version.
* Thu Oct 13 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.10.2- Improved traceback dump to help bug hunting.- Bugfix: memory management bug resulting in possible crash.- Translation updates: French, Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, Italian.
* Mon Oct 03 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.10- Compensate GTK API changes in Ubuntu 16.10.- Keys F1 (= help) and Escape (= cancel) were made consistent in all dialogs.- The Select Hairy function and user interface were improved somewhat.- The image search function saves its output to the album \"search_results\" (preserve search results when subsequent actions replace the gallery).- Batch Add/Remove Tags: the user interface was extended to make it easier to choose from existing tags or create new tags as needed.
* Thu Sep 15 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.09- Image Index:
* Fotoxx startup is much faster when there are few new image files to index. Huge galleries also show much faster. The image index file is converted to a new format. The old file is kept for safety, and can be deleted later.
* Indexing can be completely bypassed if Fotoxx is started from a file manager (e.g. Nautilus) to open a selected file, which displays instantly. Image edits work normally. Search and map functions are disabled because they require the image index. The index can be updated on demand or the next time Fotoxx starts normally. Set options using Tools > User Options.- Gallery View: Galleries with images from multiple directories (from a search function, recent images query, timeline report, etc.) now include the lowest level directory name in addition to the file name, photo date and thumbnail image.- User Options: view last file version only: This option now affect both image file view and gallery view. If set, only the latest version of each image file is shown, also in gallery pages. Albums and results from search functions are not affected.- Maps: A user can optionally use the Mapbox map source by acquiring an access key. These are free for moderate map usage (50,000 tiles per month). See the User Guide for a description of the differences and how to obtain a key.- Batch Convert: Inserting plugin text in the output file names was simplified. Photo dates (from EXIF metadata) can be inserted into the output file names.- Main: The user data in /home//.fotoxx can now be located wherever wanted. This also enables multiple image collections, managed separately.- Search: The report by location and date-group and the timeline report were made more elegant with non-scrolling table headers. Click on a table position to get a corresponding thumbnail gallery of images.- Gallery sort by photo date: Multiple edit versions of the same photo were unsorted because they all share the same photo date. Resolved by using file mod date as tie breaker.- Bugfix:
* User Options: If a font was selected that had no monospace implementation, some report formats looked horrible. A generic monospace font is now used.
* Gallery sort by photo date was incorrect after editing photo dates. (self-corrected after displaying some other gallery and coming back).
* When saving a modified image as a new file or version, some obscure ITPC metadata was not being copied to the new file.
* Trim/Rotate: the [+90] and [-90] buttons failed when pressed multiple times.
* Thu Aug 11 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.08.1- Translation updates for Portuguese and Italian.- Bugfix: Crash in Edit Bookmarks if list is empty and blanks are selected.
* Mon Aug 08 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Fixed: Fotoxx is not able to find doc files
* Tue Aug 02 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.08- Albums:
* Remove multiple images by clicking thumbnails.
* Drag thumbnails from a file manager or gallery to an album and position.- Slide Show:
* The last image remains displayed until Escape is pressed.
* Transition preferences: fix large dialog that can overflow a small screen.- Select Hairy:
* Show the tones currently being selected or deselected.
* Select and deselect thresholds were adjusted for finer selectivity.- Select Area:
* Area edit: edge blending appearance was made smoother.
* Area copy and paste: smoother edges via variable pixel transparency.- Gallery:
* Use two parallel sessions to drag and drop thumbnails across galleries.- Metadata:
* Report by location, new option: sequence by date-group and location.
* Timeline report: create a table of image counts by year and month. Click on a year/month to produce the corresponding thumbnail gallery.- Color Mode:
* Sepia coloring was improved.
* A new slider was added to adjust effect from zero to 100%.- User Options:
* Add an option to set the gallery background color.- Main:
* The Favorites popup menu is initialized with defaults, if empty.
* The mouse selection circle remains visible over transparent image areas.- Bugfix:
* Images by date-range and location: too many images were being selected.
* Paste Area: brightness and edge blend adjustments reset each-other.- Open Street Map is no longer available as a map source. The source was changed to OSM Mapnik, which is working OK as of this date.
* Sun Jul 03 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.07- Libraw is used in place of Dcraw. Dcraw is no longer required for Fotoxx.- Search Images: there is more flexibility to search for metadata matching one or more values, one or more substrings, or a range of numeric values.- The denoise method \"flatten\" was made faster and more effective.- New: Select Area Copy: select a hairy or ragged edge with fine control.- New: Select Area Find Gap: find the gap in a hand-drawn area outline.- Manage Albums: copy and paste from any gallery into an Album gallery using parallel Fotoxx sessions (makes album construction and editing easier).- New user option: set the main window background color.- Bugfix: crash when saving a select area at image bottom edge to a file.
* Fri Jun 10 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.06.1- Translation updates for Spanish and Catalan.
* Thu Jun 02 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.06- Many popup tips were added to dialogs to improve ease of use.- Edit Metadata and Edit Geotags were integrated for better ease of use.- Edit Any Metadata: easier to edit items not included in the pick-list.- Adjust HSL: improved output quality, more precise user control of output.- Image Search: finding images with no data (e.g. no tags) was simplified.- Image Search: search for images from specific locations was simplified.- Several functions were made easier to process multiple image files in gallery view mode: View and Edit Metadata, Rename, Copy/Move, Delete/Trash, Upright.- New in image and thumbnail popup menus: jump to image map location.- Paint/Clone: undo memory for oldest edits is recovered as needed for new edits.- Unbend: made easier to use by including icons in the dialog box.- Cartoon: small improvement in algorithm, small speedup.- Bugfix: Favorites > Previous Image: crash if initiated from Gallery View.- Bugfix: Map search range was increasingly inaccurate for higher latitudes.- Bugfix: Custom favorites menu can lose icons if an entry is deleted.- Bugfix: Slide Show: custom image settings (zoom target, transition type) were sometimes lost if underlying album was edited or rearranged.
* Thu Apr 21 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.05.1- Portuguese language updated.- Bugfix: crash if Trim/Rotate initiated from the image popup menu.- A new image location map was implemented using OpenStreetMap. This has superior functionality, but depends on having a fast and reliable internet connection. The old method (using large local map files) can still be used and may be preferable for custom maps.- New: Selective Rescale: scale image down, leaving selected areas unchanged. This can be used to increase the relative size of the area of interest.- Gallery top panel has more information about current album or search view.- Font and map marker sizes are adjustable for monitor size and DPI.- Bugfix: no warning was given when a gallery thumbnail was opened and the previous file had unsaved modifications which
* Fri Apr 15 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.04.1- Bugfix: saving an unmodified file with a new file type (e.g. tif to jpg) could produce a duplicate of the input file with the wrong file type (e.g. a tif file with a .jpg extension).
* Sun Apr 03 2016 marcin.bajorAATTgmail.com- Update to 16.04- Initial file indexing was made faster by running metadata extraction and thumbnail creation in parallel. Speedup: 11% for 7200 rpm disk, 60% for SSD.- New image sharpen method: median difference: like unsharp mask, less halos.- New slide show transitions: spiral, french door.- Bugfix: crash in panorama \"flatten\" function if image is too large.- Bugfix: failure of Add Lines function in rare cases (arcsin(1.000000x)).- Workaround: If an image file that is used in albums is renamed or moved, the album image goes missing. There is no way to fix this, but now a report of the missing files is shown before they are purged from the album. If files are renamed or moved using Batch Convert, then albums are correctly updated.
