Version 4.20.1

Sep-16-2004

• Lower memory usage for black&white images (e.g. faxes)
  B&W images are now loaded in original color depth to use minimum memory. Now you can view and rotate large fax images.
• Multi-image files
  From this version, you can view all images stored in multi-image formats (e.g. MBM or TIFF).
  Use left/right arrows to swap the pages within a multi-page image.
• Delete thumbnails menu command
  If you are low on storage space, use this command to delete stored thumbnails.
  You will be asked to delete the thumbnails when uninstalling the application, too.
  Or you can run rtnscleaner.exe to delete all thumbnails. But be careful: This will also delete image saved color corrections and rotation.
  rtnscleaner.exe can be found in the folder where the application is installed. (E.g. c:\system\apps\rescoviewer\ if application is installed in phone memory).
• New setting Store rotation
  Use this feature to store the image rotation permanently.
  Beware: The rotation is stored as a special flag (together with the thumbnail) - the original image remains intact.
• Zoom mode indicator
  Switch to the zoom mode is visually indicated by a special icon in the top right corner. (The icon will disappear after the user performs some actions.)
• Improved navigation
  Image location info included in the browser.
• Crop
  Cropping enables creation of the small image cutouts.
  It is useful e.g. when you need to send a smaller image via MMS.
  Cropping works on any images: jpeg, gif, tif, bmp etc.
  
  The output format is always jpeg.
  The output quality is equivalent to the quality of the loaded image. (Cropping from the zoom mode yields a better quality - at least for large images.)
  The output is saved with the eventual color adjustments made. (Finally "real" image editing.)
  
  Crop to rectangle
  Specify 2 corners of the rectangle to be cropped. Then specify the output image name and jpeg quality (10=worst, 100=best).
  
  Crop to size
  Specify the image dimensions using a setup dialog. Then move the fixed-size rectangle on the screen. The rest as above.

  New command allowing to select any image as the phone wallpaper

• Add to Std Folders
• Del from Std Folders

These commands are available in the expert mode only.
The icons of the standard folders are visually modified to remind their status.

  New functions for the expert mode:
• The user can use 'Set as default folder' for any folder.
• Additionally, viewer settings allow specifying whether the viewer should start on the default folder or in the last folder visited.
