Software update: FastPictureViewer 1.9 build 324

Version 1.9 build 324 of FastPictureViewer has been released. This program is aimed at the digital photographer and can be used to quickly and easily view and rate large amounts of images. There are no options to edit images, but the program does offer support for the raw format of more than 430 different digital cameras. Separate downloads are available for 32bit– and 64bitenvironments, and the program is free for non-commercial use. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 1.9 build 324:

• Bug fix: the Zoom/Radar/Eyedropper gadget (Z) was not working very well with tiny images (images less than 192 pixels in either dimension).
• The RTF Annotation gadget (J) is now available from the taskbar’s right-click popup menu.
• All FPV Pro components and codecs have been rebuilt with updated tools (MSVC 2012.4)

Changes in version 1.9 build 323:

• Small usability enhancements: panning is now held when changing image or setting X-marks in 1:1 locked mode (with Enter key).
• Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Enter modes now accessible from the taskbar’s context menu.

Changes in version 1.9 build 320:

• Renamed the GeoClustering plug-in to ‘Smart Auto-Grouping’, and updated the wording of its user interface to make it easier to understand and use.

Changes in version 1.9 build 319:

• Republished the installers.

Changes in version 1.9 build 318:

• A new ‘Siblings’ condition has been added to the File Utilities plug-in (Ctrl+F). The condition allows for selecting (or not selecting) files which have (or do not have) a sibling of a particular type, eg select only the RAWs which have no associated JPEGs, or similar conditions.
  NB: The Codec Pack has just been updated with a fix to the Photoshop PSD codec which cures a potential stability issue that may cause FastPictureViewer to crash under some circumstances. If you also have the Codec Pack installed, please update it too!

Changes in version 1.9 build 317:

• Added the missing B&W Preview stat to the EXIF ​​Statistics plugin (Ctrl+I).

Changes in version 1.9 build 316:

• Gadgets such as the RGB Histogram or the EXIF ​​Shooting Data now move together with the main program window when they overlap it and the program gets moved or resized.
• Made minor cosmetic fixes to the File Utilities plug-in and fixed small bugs.

Changes in version 1.9 build 315:

• Raw codecs refresh (3.5.0.83), fixes a discrepancy with TIFF files created with onOne software, which were sometimes misidentified as raw.
• The optional bit-by-bit file copy verification is now also performed when moving image files, rather than just when copying.
