Maintenance release

Changelog:

• Fixed: "Go back" - shortcut does not work when all images have been skipped/moved.

Faster loading and going back to accidentally skipped images

With this release, image are being loaded only when needed, which makes opening a folder less of a pain.
This also allows for the new "Go back" function, which lets you go back to the last skipped image, but not the moved ones yet. This, however, is planned for a future release and this in-place loading makes this possible.
To use "Go back", press the button or press ctrl + left arrow key.

Changelog

• Replaced Ahead-of-time loading with on-demand loading, which leads to less RAM-consumption and faster loading times.
• Going back to accidentally skipped images is now possible.

Reworked search function

The search function now supports all keyboard input and is hidden by default. Press ctrl+s to show/hide. Blocks skip/move while opened.

Changelog:

• Reworked: Search function

Fixed a few minor bugs and inconsistent behaviors

• Fixed Bug: User can't input any text in the searchbox anymore, after his search resulted in nothing.
• Changed: When an image couldn't be loaded, the error message will also display the file extension.
• Changed: Text input now also supports numbers.

Reducing crashes

Changelog

• Fixed: The app doesn't crash anymore, when trying to move/skip an image, when there is none.
• Fixed: If you abort loading, the app will no longer crash, if you then try to move/skip/enter, before selecting another folder.

Polishing up the experience

The architectural change in Image sorts way of loading images, as well as the introduction of a progress window for loading, has resulted in a lot of bugs, which this release tries to fix. Also: you now won't get spammed with messages wanting to update the app every time you open a new window. Now only one will persist. This and more should result in less annoyance overall.

Changelog

• Fixed: the progress windows layout is no longer a mess
• Fixed: loading when opening a folder over right-click.
• Improvement: Image sort.Update (the automatic updater) can now only exist once at the same time.

Fixing asynchronous behavior

Changelog

• Fixed: Asynchronous loading doesn't result in weird behavior through the data-races anymore (e.g. when opening a folder via right-click in the windows explorer).
• Fixed: Main window now disables all controls when loading to prevent accidental unwanted behavior.
• Fixed: The window indicating the progress made now isn't resizeable anymore and was generally polished up.

Improved responsiveness

Before this release, when the folder selected loaded, it did without feedback. It also blocked all user input, which makes everything, even moving the Window impossible. This isn't a problem for small folders, but a one for big folders. It essentially blocks everything, which makes the program feel unresponsive.

With this release, you see how many files are to load and have already been loaded. You now can also cancel loading the files, without having to use Taskmanager. Through asynchronisation, basically a method of letting some tasks run in the background, you can now also move and interact with the Window. This should make a lot things easier.

Changelog

• Added: Dialog showing progression at loading the files in the selected folder.
• Added: Ability to cancel the loading of further images, making it easier to use.
• Added/Fixed: Made loading process asynchonous, to make the program more responsive.

Added Icon to context menu

Changelog

• Added: Icon to context menu entry in Windows Explorer

Improving the work-cycle

Before this release, to sort your images, you had to first open the app, select the folder, and then you could finally sort the images. This release does the small (but hopefully workflow enhancing) addition of Image sort now being and option in the context menu of your folders. This means that by right-clicking an folder and selecting "Sort with Image Sort" you can directly open the app and sort the folder selected.
Also the old dialog for selecting a new horizontal resolution has been exchanged for a new text field. This way you can see and edit that value faster on the fly.

Changelog

• Added: New option in the context menu of windows explorer to sort images of an folder ("Sort with Image Sort").
• Changed: The input-box based Input for maximum resolution has been replaced with an easy-to-reach text box.
