What is the SView5 package actually ?

It does consist of a huge object-oriented module set
called "SView5-Library", that consists of many classes for
loading/saving (SV5Objects), processing (SV5Operators)
and rtg-displaying (SV5Drivers) graphics. These are
dynamically loaded and flushed, depending on the free
amount of memory - under the case, there are not many
similarities to OS 3.x datatypes.

There are several programs included:

- SView5: the powerful main program that allows to access all
options and settings, allows to load, save, process
and convert images - not only via the GUI but
also using ARexx and so on.
Includes a RTG-compliant screen-grabber!

- BatchProcess Batch conversion tool, for applying upto 4 image
processing operaters to a number of graphics by
wildcards and save them in a different file format,
e.g. load a bunch of JPEGs, then resize, dither
and save them as PNG files.

- PNG-Box5, dedicated tools for creation of graphics for
JPEG-Box5, WWW usage (HTML pages) with progressive/interlacing
GIF-Box5: and transparency support

- WinSlide: for viewing images in a window on public screens,
using as few memory as possible - smooth scrolling
inclusive! Supports 8 through 24 bit displays.

- ScrollSlide: like WinSlide but using its own screen,
for best colors even on 8 bit displays

- CyberSlide: like viewing images from SView5 using a CyberGfx
SV5Driver with 16/24 bit capability, but implemented
as small standalone program

- SuperSlide: like CyberSlide but for AGA screens and screen modes,
additionally dithering is done when necessary

- SVPrefs: for changing settings of SView5-Library modules
easily.

Most people forget about WinSlide and the other tools, even when
already been using the program for some time. So, don't forget
to check them out when testing :-)

There's also a huge difference between SView5 and the
SView Productivity Suite I + II CD-ROMs - as described on
their covers or at www.schatztruhe.de

SView5/-Library is NOT compatible with SViewIV and its predecessors,
it also is NOT compatible with previous versions of the library
and its sub-modules.

Keyfiles of predecessors won't work with any of the included tools.

OS 3.1 or greater is REQUIRED!

Andreas Kleinert stellt ein Update seines Bildbearbeitungs-Programms SView5 zur Verfügung. SView steht für AmigaOS 3 und MorphOS zur Verfügung, unterstützt über 100 Grafikformate und ist speziell für das automatisierte Bearbeiten bzw. Konvertieren großer Bildermengen gedacht.

V2.34 (10.11.2007): (english)

- fixed layout of picture info requester (auth,anno,name,copy label position)
- text fields in picture info requester works with some file formats now
- file sub type display in picture info requester fixed (general)
- file sub type display in picture info works with some file formats now
- disabled some legacy code used for sview5.library versions < 5

- included sview5.library V14.11 (see there)

V14.1 (10.11.2007)

- too many to summarize (fixes in TIFF, EXIF support, upd. SVObject API)

ak hat geschrieben:V45.80 (10.11.2007): - tiled images now are rejected
- unknown colorspaces now are
rejected (more often)
- added support for strips in
uncompressed 8 bit files
- fixed missing case in error
handling (unknown file type)
- now reports "object wrong type"
instead of "out of memory" in
case some file type cannot be
handled

- WinSlide, ScrollSlide:

- fixed possible blitter race condition

- Plugins:

- ImageFX (Saver):

- fixed possible blitter race condition

including the .guide again (base: v2.49)
(-> Damaso Dominguez)

- included sview5.library V15.11 (see there)

SView5 released in the Version 2.54 for Classic Amiga and MorphOS.

Changes:

- no longer tested under MOS 1.4.5;
increased requirements to MOS 2.0.0
- included sview5.library V15.15 (see there)

- see the first beta versions of SView5 for Windows (.NET)
on my website under http://www.ar-kleinert.de/sview5_win_e.html
the Win/Linux SDK will allow to be backported to AOS/MOS

program start (regardless if Shell or WB) when necessary:

68K: 65K

If you still run into any troubles you may set a bigger value.

V2.63 (11.01.2009): (english)

- MOS support removed (no more .elf modules included)
- outdated translations removed
- spanish translation removed, so that Damaso can maintain
it separately on Aminet

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

V16.7 (14.02.2009):

(in rare low-memory situations) when the original allocation
was already delocated; i.e. after a second alloc failed
