As we begin to close out the year, the focus has been on fixing some performance issues and tidying things up. Performance improvements to property system that was causing long system locking issues. Fixed some issues with postscript based files not reporting correct sizes depending on their file units. Should result in better thumbnails and QuickView imaging. Very significant performance improvements to PDF / Postscript file reading and rendering. Fixed potential crash in Blocked Folders dialog when removing folders. Improved properties fetch and rendering for DSO based file formats (Office Document, Publisher, 3ds Max, Kubotek). Fixed some image formats with files > 8 bit depth such as DICOM Medical Images. QuickView resizing and clamping improved. Updated recommended GhostScipt version to 10.04.0. If you want the latest recommended Ghostscript, uninstall both 32 and 64 bit versions using the Add/Remove programs control panel before updating / installing. |

Due to lack of beta testers, we are releasing versions 2024.6.x as a kind of single version Release Candidate. Read the following carefully and only update if you are happy to test. You can always uninstall and reinstall the previous version. This release will continue, with the revision number being incremented, for limited amount of time and then be unavailable whilst we review user reports and confirm stability. This cycle will continue until we are happy the release is stable for full release. If the download is not currently available, we are awaiting reports from users. We would appreciate any reports, be they problems or that everything is working as expected. 2024.6.2 Added context menu item 'Restore Depth' when file(s) have a non-default depth buffer state set. Improved energy efficiency of control panel by removing a regular poll not required. Maya IFF files with a depth buffer now refresh correctly when toggling the depth buffer in QuickView. Using the context menu in QuickView could lead to losing keyboard input, requiring switching to and from another application. Refresh open folders sometimes didn't work when applying changes. Adornment button option is always able to be toggled now, even if a file format / extension is disabled. 2024.6.1 Includes changes from previous pulled version 2024.5.0 and previous beta versions. Fixes for Maya IFF files. Fixes and improvements to Amiga images including best correct for hires / lace modes for aspect ratio, better support for HAM and SHAM images. Choose icon dialog changing file may have caused a crash when selecting an icon file after a DLL file. If using choose icon to select an override UWP PNG icon, now detects if there is a 256 size version to use as the override icon to avoid small icons being used. Fixed image of icon overlay and show icon overlay buttons when double clicking to open the choose icon dialog so they show the state of the button before the double click.
