VITAlbum v1.3.0 Showcase (Joel16)

Changelog

v1.40

  • Config file now makes use of the SceLibJson API for reading/writing instead of jansson.
  • No longer manually accounts for the offset when writing error logs.
  • Files that aren't supported by VITAlbum are now filtered out and not displayed in the GUI.
  • Added support for viewing SVGs using nanosvg
  • Properly use cancel/enter buttons throughout the UI.
  • The UI now uses the official PS Vita font.
  • Settings now has a new section where it displays the app version as well as the versions of various libraries used in this application that expose some sort of version info in their API.
  • LibTIFF updated to v4.2.0
  • libjpeg-turbo updated to v2.0.6.
  • Fix .TIFF images being read from the wrong orientation.
  • Allow the use of L/R triggers to scroll through images in a single folder.
  • The right analog stick can be used to move around image if its size is bigger than 960x544.
  • The left analog stick can be used to zoom in/out of image.
  • Clean-up imgui implementation (removed unused touchscreen/mouse functionalities).
  • Many under the hood changes for QOL improvements.

v1.30

  • Disable ImGui's IniFilename generation.
  • Slightly increase global font scaling and increase icon size.
  • Implemented a new logging mechanism.
  • Implemented a new config mechanism and settings window to enable/disable or set certain options:
  • You can now change the sorting method (alphabetical ascending/descending or size largest/smallest).
  • Enable file name display when viewing images.
  • Enable logs using the new logging mechanism. If you want to report crashes make sure you enable logs, reproduce the error, and then grab the log in ux0:/data/VITAlbum/debug.log.
  • Fixed gif logic where it wouldn't initially load the first frame when viewing a GIF.
  • Manually set the application heap size to prevent it from running out of memory during allocation for GIFs and other image formats. (This fixes crashes loading certain images, especially GIFs).
  • Now uses 4x multi-sampling through vitaGL.
  • A bunch of cleanups and consistency changes.

v1.20

  • Added support for animated & non animated gif images using libnsgif.
  • If the gif image is large in either size or resolution it may crash.
  • Usually images that are smaller than the vita's screen resolution work best.
  • Updated Dear imGui to v1.78.
  • Allow image properties to work inside gif preview window.
  • Fixed image properties popup not always being centered.
  • Images smaller than the vita's screen resolution will now be centered.
  • File names are no longer shown in image preview.
  • Removed window padding in image preview. (A full screen 960x544 image no longer needs to be scrolled).

v1.10

  • Now uses updated livearea assets by TheIronUniverse.
  • Fixed memory leak when loading textures using stbi_load_from_memory.
  • Added support for PSD. (composited view only, no extra channels, 8/16 bit-per-channel -- large .PSD files may result in crashes)
  • Minor performance adjustments and changes:
  • Uses upstream libpng for reading PNG instead of stb
  • Uses upstream turbojpeg for reading JPEG instead of stb
  • Uses giflib instead of libnsgif for reading static GIFs.
  • Now uses stb_image - v2.26
  • Built upon latest vitaGL changes.
  • Minor clean ups here an there.

v1.0

  • First Release.
