Changelogs

v1.40

• Files that aren't supported by VITAlbum are now filtered out and not displayed in the GUI.
• Added support for viewing SVGs using nanosvg
• Properly use cancel/enter buttons throughout the UI.
• The UI now uses the official PS Vita font.
• Settings now has a new section where it displays the app version as well as the versions of various libraries used in this application that expose some sort of version info in their API.
• LibTIFF updated to v4.2.0
• libjpeg-turbo updated to v2.0.6.
• Fix .TIFF images being read from the wrong orientation.
• Allow the use of L/R triggers to scroll through images in a single folder.
• The right analog stick can be used to move around image if its size is bigger than 960x544.
• The left analog stick can be used to zoom in/out of image.
• Clean-up imgui implementation (removed unused touchscreen/mouse functionalities).
• Many under the hood changes for QOL improvements.

v1.30

• Disable ImGui's IniFilename generation.
• Slightly increase global font scaling and increase icon size.
• Implemented a new logging mechanism.
• Implemented a new config mechanism and settings window to enable/disable or set certain options:
• You can now change the sorting method (alphabetical ascending/descending or size largest/smallest).
• Enable file name display when viewing images.
• Enable logs using the new logging mechanism. If you want to report crashes make sure you enable logs, reproduce the error, and then grab the log in ux0:/data/VITAlbum/debug.log.
• Fixed gif logic where it wouldn't initially load the first frame when viewing a GIF.
• Manually set the application heap size to prevent it from running out of memory during allocation for GIFs and other image formats. (This fixes crashes loading certain images, especially GIFs).
• Now uses 4x multi-sampling through vitaGL.
• A bunch of cleanups and consistency changes.

v1.20

• Added support for animated & non animated gif images using libnsgif.
• If the gif image is large in either size or resolution it may crash.
• Usually images that are smaller than the vita's screen resolution work best.
• Updated Dear imGui to v1.78.
• Allow image properties to work inside gif preview window.
• Fixed image properties popup not always being centered.
• Images smaller than the vita's screen resolution will now be centered.
• File names are no longer shown in image preview.
• Removed window padding in image preview. (A full screen 960x544 image no longer needs to be scrolled).

v1.10

• Now uses updated livearea assets by TheIronUniverse.
• Fixed memory leak when loading textures using stbi_load_from_memory.
• Added support for PSD. (composited view only, no extra channels, 8/16 bit-per-channel -- large .PSD files may result in crashes)
• Minor performance adjustments and changes:
• Uses upstream libpng for reading PNG instead of stb
• Uses upstream turbojpeg for reading JPEG instead of stb
• Uses giflib instead of libnsgif for reading static GIFs.
• Now uses stb_image - v2.26
• Built upon latest vitaGL changes.
