Changelog:

1.2.1 - 1.3.0:

Features:

• New option to limit SVG support to SVG Tiny 1.2 standard
• Windows: ship tools and configurations that help user associate image files to this program

Bugfixes:

Miscellaneous:

About this release:

This version brings some love to Windows users. Starting from this version, an utility tool passoc.exe which can help user register file type association to Pineapple Pictures, alongside with some new file type icons as well. Since Pineapple Pictures on Windows is a portable application, this could help you quickly associate file types without manually doing it per every image file types, and allows you set custom file type icons as simple as putting custom icons inside the icons folder! Hope Windows users could find this tool helpful :)

Besides better Windows support, this release also have some new features. Since 1.3.0, we now have better SVG support by supporting more SVG properties than we previously had (Tiny 1.2-only). In case you don't need it, an (advanced) option that allows you limit the SVG support to SVG Tiny 1.2 is added, so you can turn it on to make it behave like the older version.

We also have some bugfixes as well, please see the changelog above for details.

Changelog:

1.0.0 - 1.1.0:

Features:

• New option to disable built-in close window animation
• New option to disable gallery looping
• Support load m3u8 as image gallery playlist

Miscellaneous:

• Drop Qt 5 support

About this release:

Since this release, Pineapple Pictures now have the ability to load m3u8 file that contains a list of image files as image queue / gallery! This can be handy if you need to use this app to show a given list of files instead of auto-loaded same-folder gallery. Beyond that, you can now also control if the gallery is "looped" by toggling the new setting option. These two features are generously sponsored by @superuser7777, thanks a lot for the help!

There are also a lot of improvements as well. Since this release, Qt 5 support is completely dropped source-wisely, so we can make use of some newer Qt 6 features to make the app easier to maintain. As a small additional QoL feature, we also added the ability to disable the built-in close-window animation. This could be useful if your OS also add a "native" close-window animation to the app and you want to use the native one instead (e.g. KWin did that).

Changelog:

0.9.2 - 1.0.0:

Features:

• Support enforces windowed mode on start-up
• Reload image automatically when current image gets updated

Bugfixes:

• Display correct text language on macOS

Miscellaneous:

• Use native text for shortcut editor's label
• Display native command line message when possible
• Merge Qt translations into app applications as well

About this release:

While the original plan was to release 0.9.3 with only bugfixes, this release comes with many new features that are worth bumping up a version number. Using 0.10.z is technically okay but sounds weird, and this application itself is already in a shape that is sort of okay for a 1.0 version release, so here we are, having Pineapple Pictures 1.0.0 released :)

Since this release, Pineapple Pictures now have the ability to monitor the currently viewed image and auto-reload the image when it's updated. A new option entry is also added for people who want to enforce the window state in windowed mode when starting this application as well. These two features are generously sponsored by @EdgarHartel, thanks a lot for the help!

There are also a lot of improvements as well. Now for the native dialog boxes that have "Okay" and "Cancel" buttons, the button texts are translated as well. UI strings are now displayed to match your system's language on macOS. The --supported-image-formats command line option will also use a native dialog box on Windows. For binary release, the included dependencies are also updated.

Supported platforms:

• Linux with at least Qt 6.4 provided and using a stacking window manager (x11 is preferred).
• Windows.
• macOS (experimental)

For the pre-built binaries that I uploaded here, only Windows, Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS pre-build binaries are provided. For other OS/distro, feel free to build from source code and use.

Changelog:

0.9.0 - 0.9.1:

Features:

• Option to double-click to fullscreen
• Build-time option to embed translation resources

Bugfixes:

• Fix window size not adjusted when open file on macOS
• Should center window according to available screen geometry

Miscellaneous:

• Change close window behavior on macOS
• Update translations

About this release:

This is a maintenance release which mostly improved macOS support that was introduced in the previous release. Beside macOS improvements, this release also fixes some minor issues that make the app positioning its window at the correct place in some edge cases, and also introduced the ability to full-screen the window by double-clicking.

In the previous release, the pre-built Windows binary switched to use MSVC instead of MinGW, which caused some binary-size confusion that was actually caused by the VC runtime. In this release, both MinGW and MSVC version are provided so you can choose the one that you want. Keep in mind that, if you choose the MSVC one, the runtime installer vc_redist.x64.exe is also provided inside the zip file, which can be deleted once you installed it or if you don't need it at all.

Since the previous release I also started providing an experimental macOS build. An unsigned dmg package is provided in this release. It's tested under macOS Sequoia and you probably need to disable SIP to make it your default image viewer (due to it's not being signed). Feel free to open a discussion thread if you have suggestions for macOS support.

As always, I would like to say thanks to all the contributors who donated their time working on the translation. If you are also interested to improve existing translations or adding new translations, head to Weblate and then start translating!
