    version 0.4.1 released as stable

    With 0.4.0 in beta for more than a month, it is the time now to release the first stable version of this branch - 0.4.1
    As you would guess this version fixes some issues of the beta version. Now 0.4.1 is considered a production release.
    The most important fixes are made for the external PNG optimizer implementation, but there are some usability changes, also.

    v.0.4.1
    - fixed some issues with the external PNG optimizer implementation

    (replace {IMAGE_FILE} parameter is done only once. fixed;
    a custom PNG is not remembered at program restart. fixed;
    delete/configure buttons should not be disabled after adding an external optimizer. fixed;
    modifying an external optimizer name creates orphan records. fixed. added checks for duplicate tool names;
    scripts as external optimizersnot working out-of-the-box. fixed)

    - bugfix: "Remove selected" button from batch mode disables when a multiple selection is made with the mouse. The keyboard selection worked. Fixed !
    - fixed some issue related to automatic preview mode disabled.
    - Preview button now disabled when "AUtomatic preview" is on
    - improved performance of conversion functions from transparent indexed images
    - changed shortcuts for "Fit in window" ( now / ) and "Actual size" (now * ). These simpler ones should increase productivity
    - changed batch settings by adding an "Apply" button. to be more intuitive
    - fixed an unwanted behavior with selecting and option without actualy putting a check next to it, which causes that option to apply.
    - modified an error message to specify that both dimensions are required for batch resize

        RIOT 0.4.5 is available

        RIOT 0.4.5 was released to fix two annoying bugs:

        * fixed a bug with Paste from clipboard. Pasted images were shifted a few pixels.
        * fixed a bug in the DLL version with the toolbar containing rotate, resize, compress to size, etc.
        The toolbar should be enabled after successful image loading from the host application.
        While working on version 0.5, this latest release from branch 0.4 should be stable enough for production usage until 0.5 will be ready.

        Version 0.5 is a major update, adding very interesting features like the automatic optimization mode and many more. Stay tunned for updates on the new features which will be part of the 0.5 branch.

        Meanwhile, the latest version of RIOT (0.4.5) can be downloaded from:

          New version released – 0.4.6

          The new version of RIOT – 0.4.6 is mainly a maintenance release. Several bugs are fixed, especially affecting the DLL version, the batch mode , the external optimizer implementation. The overall stability of the program was greatly increased by this release, so an update is highly recommended.

          Another interesting addition is the presence of the documentation. A standard .CHM file (Win32 HTML Help) is provided. The documentation is still incomplete, but more references will be added in the future.

            RIOT Plugin Installer

            IMPORTANT NOTICE: The RIOT plugin for IrfanView comes now as an easy to use installer.
            The installation wizard will locate any supported host applications like IrfanView, GIMP and XnView and automatically copy files to the proper location. No more troubles with copying FreeImage and RIot.dll in the correct location !

            The installer can be downloaded from the RIOT website:

              Very very nice, but why put the installer in a zip-file? That´s just annoying.

                The current (free) hosting service does not accept executables and I was forced to pack it in a zip. Most downloads are from the US, so I preffer to minimize the load on my servers in Europe on which I don't have such limitations, but they are too far for most users.

                    The first thing to do when asking about an program error is to check if the latest version of that program fixed it.
                    Please download the latest version (0.4.6) from the official website:

                      Why the plug-in.exe does not supports Stand-Alone Irfanview package "IrfanViewPortable_4.30.paf.exe" ?

                        To use plug-ins with the Portable Apps version of Irfanview go to the Irfanview site click on Plugins and download the zip version, Irfanview_plugins_430.zip.
                        Find the folder where the i_view32.exe file has been placed (probably PortableApps\Irfanview). Create a subfolder there called Plugins, if there is not one there already, and unzip the plugins into that subfolder allowing any previous ones to be replaced.

                          The RIOT plugin installation does not detect the portable version (obviously because it does not add any registry values).
                          So you need to manually specify the plugins folder.
