What’s New in IceView 4.01

BUG FIXES:

  • If no programs had been added to the Open With menu, IceView would crash if you pressed the Open With button on the toolbar.
  • The Batch Conversion dialog had no drive list box, hence changing the drive for the output folder was impossible.
  • The list of drives in the Select Files for Conversion dialog had no effect on the list of folders. Adding files for conversion from a different drive than C: could not be done.
  • Printing humongous images would result in a blank page.
  • Adding files from the root of a drive would result in an incorrect path in the Slide Show Editor and in the Select Files dialog.
  • Fixed a problem that would occur when trying to save a PCX file in 6 bits per pixel.
  • Fixed some minor bugs with the Batch Conversion feature.

  • Removed the opening nag screen. IceView 4.01 is nag free shareware.
  • Added ‘Remove Duplicates’ and ‘Remove Invalid Files’ commands to the Select Files dialog.
  • Added the ’Engrave’ command to the Filters menu.
  • The Batch Conversion feature has improved error handling.
