Fix some updater failures

This release fixes the version comparison algorithm, so you don't get annoyed with a notification for the version you already have every time.

Image Sort v2.0.0 Preview 1

NOTE: This preview is not stable! If you want to have a stable experience, don't use this release! Wait for the first stable build!

This release is the product of an entire rewrite. It is not complete yet, some features are missing, but the most important are there. There are also a lot of new features:

• You can pin folders so you can move images outside the opened folder.
• You can traverse folders with the WASD-keys
• You can go through all images in a folder freely. The new layout is based on a gallery with the easy ability to move or delete images (arrow keys: left/right for changing the selected image, up to move, down to delete)
• Freely undo moved and deleted (moved to recycle bin) images (Q and E, these keys are close to WASD)
• Search images in a folder (Shortcut: I <- WIP)
• A new control scheme focused on speed

Some of the things that are missing:

• Localization (I am german so I can do that, other languages will come at the basis of opportunity)
• Creation/Deletion of a folder (I've hit a brick wall in my architecture here, but shouldn't be too hard. Just aren't motivated enough for this)
• Search folders
• Help window when starting for the first time (is that even helpful?)

Enhancing the touch experience

This is the first thing touch users will notice. There now is a "Touch-friendly Mode" that makes the UI bigger that requires less pinpoint precision from the finger.
Aside from that, there have also been a number of other improvements that should make your day just a bit better.
For one thing, the app now keeps track of changes in the user-selected system accent color, when having selected using the "System Accent Color" under Settings -> Appearance. This is nice, when you use apps like Wallpaper Engine, that can change your system accent color to the selected wallpapers theme color.
You can now also give feedback from inside the app, so there is no need to leave it. You can still open it in the browser, if you want to.
You can now also rotate images by pressing the buttons on the right bottom, or pressing the "," and "." keys.
Last but not least, you can also now turn on and off the option to open folders directly from the Windows Explorer. You can find it under advanced options.

Changelog

• Added: Touch-friendly Mode (makes the UI elements larger in scale)
• Added: The app now keeps track of changes in the user-selected system accent color
• Added: Option to give feedback from inside the app
• Added: Ability to rotate images
• Added: Ability to turn on/off the option to be able to start Image sort from the Windows Explorer context menu for folders.

Improving the small things

Literally! The first thing you will notice when sorting images (hopefully) are the icons (thumbnails) the folders now have next to their name. They are the same as in the explorer and were a pain to get, but now you can identify, lets say, your pictures folder by searching for the icon. Was it worth the pain programming? Probably not, but they are nice and make using the app a bit better.
Aside from that, from now on, the installer won't install updates in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lolle2000la\Image Sort", but rather whatever you choose to install image sort into. Sorry for the inconvenience if it has hit you, but I was not aware of this bug before. **If you find a bug, please report it to me (via the feedback form), so I can fix it. **
You may also like, that you can now move or skip though images by holding the relevant keys again, so that's nice.
There are also small performance and startup-time improvements and small (almost unnoticeable) design changes.

Changelog

• Added: The folder icons in the explorer are now also being shown next to the folder name inside the app.
• Added: The updater now installs updates to the current installs location, instead of the default location.
• Added: The last selected folder is now in any case the default when selecting another folder
• Added: You can now navigate (skip/move) through images by holding the arrow keys again
• Improved: Loading times and app performance
• Improved: Removed unnecessary margin on the preview image
• Fixed: The resolution box doesn't show the resolution currently selected.

Fixed bug preventing entering a folder by pressing, well, enter

Changelog

• You can now press enter to enter a folder again.

Improving consistency with the Operating System

This release now replaces some of the alien parts of Image sort. When you select a folder, for example, you will not be greeted with some ugly list, but the dialog you know from all other apps. This should make it less of a pain for you to select a folder.
There also has been a number of settings being added to Image sort to allow for customization. These have now been moved to their own dedicated Settings page to declutter the experience. This allows you to better concentrate on the images and not whether you want to use dark mode and load your images at a specific resolution.
Also, when you freshly install Image sort, the app will calculate the ideal horizontal resolution to load images with based on the screen resolution, optimized for quality. Long story short, unless you want to optimize load times, you should get good results by default. The setting has been moved to the advanced section in the settings.

Changelog

• Replaced the old folder browser with the new dialog introduced in Windows Vista.
• Moved settings to, well, the new settings section. This should massively declutter the interface.
• Enabled calculation of the resolution needed for the ideal image quality, based on the resolution of the screen(s).

Added a Dark Mode

Whether you like the dark side, or just dislike getting you eyes burned when opening Image sort in the middle of the night, you may like the new Dark Mode. Why not give it a try?
If you also like all your apps to look consistent with the rest of the system, Image sort now also gives you the option to use the systems accent color for the apps accent color. So if your system accent color is blue (the default in windows 7 and 10), then the app is also blue, or in my case red.

Changelog

• Added: Dark Mode
• Added: Optional use of the system accent color as the apps accent color (enabled by default in the Store version)
• Added: Clearing the text in the rename box and pressing enter result in no rename happening

Added the ability to delete the current folder

You can now not only create, but also delete folders, if You want. Don't worry, You will be asked before deletion, so that there won't be accidental deletions, and if possible, the folder will be moved to the recycle bin (not supported with OneDrive folders). You can now also rename an image by pressing the new "Rename" button.

Aside from all this, the app has also been polished up. A few bugs were fixed and the UI was polished up (read the changelog for more info) .

Changelog

• Added: you can now delete a folder inside of Image sort
• Added: a "Rename" button as a more obvious option to rename images
• Added: the search box shows indicator text "Search" when no text was yet entered, to show, that the text box is for searching
• Added: the search box can now be cleared by pressing the "x" button
• Added: the current folder is now being displayed in the title bar
• Fixed: the folder list is now being styled properly and doesn't look alien anymore
• Fixed: help windows visibility is not reflected in the help button
• Fixed: english help window doesn't render the first heading properly
• Fixed: a bug leading to false progress and bad data when going back to an moved image
• Fixed: a bug leading to another folder being entered when pressing enter in an dialog

Rename images

webac had the idea to enable users to rename image (see #15). This is now possible. Use ctrl + r or click on the name displayed to edit it.
Also, when a new release is available, the title is now also displayed when asked about updating image sort.

Changelog

• Added ability to rename images
• Added title to the information about a new release

Added ability to delete images (if you want)

Image sort now allows You to move images to the recycle bin. This should make it possible to delete an image, without leaving Image sort. Image sort now also keeps track of changes in the selected folder. This means, that you can delete, remove or create/move an image in the folder, with Image sort reflecting the changes. After this release, Image sort will also ask You to help me by answering an quick survey about Your system. You will be asked only once (for a long while, I may ask again when the Windows 7 support ends) and You will not be forced to answer.

Changelog

• Added delete function
• Added keeping track of folder changes
• Added optional survey about system information
