I'd go for the double requester option:
1. First a format selector
2. Then an ASL requester which, preferably, will automatically add the proper image extension to the file name (jpg for jpeg etc)

Keep up the great work man! :)

@kas1e

great work man! keep it up! :)

@JosDuchIt


well, you can move it to where you want it to be opened and the save it there. I've done it with mine, it works.

@cygnusEd

that sounds good Ed, I mean, the most basic thing missing from gimp right now is really this - loading/saving common image formats. Great!

@alfkil

awesome! opens so many possibilities! Respect to you sir (and Edgar for Amicygnix of course!)!!! :)

@joerg

thx for the quick fix :) btw, plz keep OS 4.0 classic support for as long as it doesn't drag OWB down much, it's really good to use it on an 603@330/256mb RAM even if it's an unusual setup, it really is useful, why break it if it's not a big problem?

@joerg

I think that the charsets you disabled have broken greek text support, try www.in.gr for example, it's all unreadable now. I copied the older one from 3.25 and I'm working ok now, but maybe you should check it out again, maybe you removed something that you didn't intend to.

@yescop

works fine here on Peg2....

Downloaded it and I'll test it soon. Care to add wma tags? Also, is there a chance you add freedb support? (fetching results by keyword then selecting appropriate entry and apply tags automatically to selected files)? In any case, it's good to have this program! many thx, keep it up man!

@Severin

good idea! seconded!

@ChrisH

the point of fullscreen is watching the pictures without any interface elements around (just black border if the image resolution is lower than that of the screen), it really makes a difference watching images this way. Of course that's my personal preference and it could be just me, so, if you decide against adding this feature, it's still fine, I just think it is good to have that option. About the datatypes, I could be wrong, it's been a long time as I said, but I seem to gather something like what i described before.

@ChrisH

then how about the option to display images in full screen without any scaling, just 1:1? Would that require you to write any filters? That would be ok if you could do it in my opinion as there are many cases someone just needs to see the pics of a folder one by one in full screen, at least I do, I assume others too. That's, as I said, if it doesn't require you to write any filters. Also, I have no idea how OS4 datatypes work, but in OS3.x it only allowed loading and saving in ilbm, but I could be wrong, it's been a while since I used that.

One more thing I've thought if possible:

Would it be possible to add an option to prebuffer the next n images?

@ChrisH

glad you liked the name :)

As of features, here's a few off the top of my head:

Have a shortcut (F) for full screen viewing of pics (<> and esc should still work while there).

Some setting for default size of view, ie 1:1, 1:2, stretch to fit screen or shrink to fit screen (those last two are especially useful for full screen view), fixed percentage.

Having rescaled images you may consider adding a few optional basic filters like bilinear and bicubic while rescaling.

Saving to basic types of image formats, I think these would be enough: jpg, png, tiff, bmp, ilbm. Maybe saving the entire album as a basic html page as well?

Rotation, flip, crop, resize, brightness/contrast/RGB correction and a red-eye auto mode would be awesome, but too much work, you may leave those last and add the most basic view/manage stuff mentioned above.

Hope you find some of my suggestions useful :)

@ChrisH

Man! I've wished we had a "proper" acdsee clone for years! That's just great news you're making something like that, judging from your work in RunInUAE, it'll be "proper" no doubt! :) Gonna try the preview soon. How about Image Album or Picture Album for name as it's not really just photos it works with.

@Daedalus

thumbs up from me too man! great piece of software!

@Fab

great news!

@Fab

so, does that mean you'll include it in the upcoming 1.8 version? ;)

@ChrisH

Is there a possibility you add a menu "set mouse to" like you've made a "set joystick to" one? There are some games expecting a joystick for some reason in the mouse port.

@pvanni

great! :)

@pvanni

Do you mean this is a newer version which works with the recent youtube changes or is this the same version since Oct 2009?
