PicView 3.1.0
Apr 2, 2025

What's New​

Screenshot 2025-04-02 102303
  • Added a new tab in the Settings window to associate PicView with supported files (#157).
  • Introduced new options to enable or disable confirmation dialogs when moving files to the recycle bin or permanently deleting them (#195).
  • Added a new menu in the Settings window that allows you to open the keybindings file, access the user settings file, or reset settings to their default values.

Improvements​

  • PicView now loads large images progressively, drastically reducing visual loading times for very large files.
  • Added navigation arrows for backward and forward movement in the tab history within the Settings window.

Bug Fixes​

  • When maximized, PicView now displays a restore icon instead of a fullscren icon; clicking it restores the window rather than switching to fullscreen.
  • Fixed incorrect rendering at startup when scrolling is enabled.
  • The scrollbar is now correctly positioned at the right edge in both maximized and fullscreen states.
  • The bottom gallery is now properly sized when scrolling is enabled.
  • Restored the print functionality (#194).
  • PicView now correctly adds or removes gallery thumbnails when toggling the search of subdirectories on or off.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when toggling subdirectory searches on or off when no image was loaded or navigation was unavailable (#196).
  • When viewing the image gallery, PicView now correctly displays the appropriate translation and function for closing the gallery, depending on whether it is fully opened or in bottom mode.
  • Corrected the behavior of the Esc button, ensuring it now properly closes external windows and exits the Slideshow mode when enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where the update function always downloaded the latest version; it will now indicate when no new version is available.
  • Fixed tool windows exceeding the screen size on smaller resolutions.

Miscellaneous​

  • Replaced parts of the previous color scheme with new, improved colors.
  • Implemented various style improvements and fixes.
  • Adjusted the slider, for setting navigation speed when holding down the key, to have better tick intervals.
  • Refined the grammar and phrasing for both English and Danish translations.
  • PicView now defaults to the Dark Theme when no settings are present, regardless of the system theme.
  • Added missing translations in the Open file and Save as dialogs.
