2006-11-15 Printer bug fixed. (Crashed if no printer is install-
ed.)

2006-12-29 Workaround for INI file bug. (Crashed if TC had been
installed to the 'Program Files' directory and if the
user didn't have administrative rights.)

2006-12-29 Workaround for TIF bug. (Crashed with some TIF format
versions.) Support of TIF files compressed with 'CCIT
Group 4 Fax' will be postponed to a later version of
ImgView.

2007-01-11 Bilingual error messages problem fixed.

2007-01-11 Image files which are in use by another process are
now still accessible to ImgView (however, at the ex-
pense of the possible occurrence of an exception if
such a file is modified while being read by ImgView).

2007-01-11 INI file workaround (see 2006-12-29) replaced by sav-
ing this file to the user specific APPDATA path if
available. This feature will become absolutely essen-
tial with the Windows Vista operating system.

2007-01-18 If the Windows XP style is selected the checked/un-
checked state of menu items with glyphs is not visib-
ly discernible as it is when using the Windows class-
ic style (which I do). Bug fixed by replacing these
nice little glyphs by the good old check mark in case
the Windows XP style is detected. (Sorry but that's
penalty you will have to pay for using this silly
candy style XP look!)

2007-01-18 Display of ImgView error messages made optional.
("Show ImgView error messages" menu item added.)

2007-08-10 Support of THM image file type added. (In reality
these THM thumbnail files created by Canon cameras
for each AVI videoclip are nothing else but ordinary
JPG image files.)

2007-08-11 Support of CUR (cursors) and ANI (animated cursors)
image file types added. (Display of animated cursors
will only be static.)

2007-08-15 Support of JPEG image file type added. JPEG (being
just an alias for JPG) and JPG both use the same en-
coding.

2007-09-15 Option for automatic image orientation added (accord-
ing to the "orientation" tag in the Exif meta data).

2008-03-04 EMF and WMF images are now copied to the clipboard in
two formats: as a vector graphic (as before) and as a
bitmap (new feature).
