New features
"agressive" database mode (disabled by default). On this mode, images
on the filesystem viewed by the user are automatically added to
database.
win32 support. A standalone package should be available a few
weeks after 0.8.3 is released. (linked to non-commercial QT 3.1 dlls)
added "Query random images" action for results browser
slideshow should now remember image orientation preferences just like
the preview pane.
the checkboxes "Extract Exif" and "Extract Iptc" on the Add tab are
now sticky, ie. they are an option on imgSeek.ini
Bugfixes
Import image history combo was not functional
bug which would save the entire db on every remove operation unnecessarily
many win32 related bugfixes
should now prompt and create a new dir for the album when the supplied path doesn't exist.
bug for images with the same fullpath but on different media
bug related to string encoding on metadata dialog. Strings are now encoded in iso-8859-1. If you have any better idea regarding this fix or what encoding should be used, please express so.
bug related to metadata editing and thumbnails on removable media.
Image grouping on the HTML album module was done by group name, and not unique ID, so only a page for the first homonymous group was generated.
issue a warning and return immediately when trying to display invalid similarity group

Changes on 0.8.1:
- now catching exceptions when isting dirs, so a recursive add is not aborted when a subdir fails (OSError, etc)
- treat "True" and "False" as '1' and '0' on .ini preferences file
- fixed bug on html album (broken thumbnail generation for non-database images)

New features and fixes for 0.8:
- imgSeek: startup speed improvement - application code is now on a module (which can be byte-compiled)
- new "export as cqview collection" option on the Tools menu. Patch from Tuomas Airaksinen (tuomas.airaksinen|at|jyu.fi)
- new "search by groups" tab. Patch from Tuomas Airaksinen (tuomas.airaksinen|at|jyu.fi)
- fixed bug when Scanning database dirs for new images
- Tools/imgSeekCmd: Added support for using files outside the database as query sources. (patch from Christian Pirkheim - pirkheim|at|gmx.at)
- added option "Show groups" that lists all groups an image belongs to
- Added option "Browse groups recursively", that, when enabled, shows all images inside a group (recursing into subgroups) when it's clicked on the group treeview.
- improved support for mounted volumes
- Image info on the preview panel is now a readonly lineedit widget, so it's possible to copy text from there.

Here is what changed:
- HTML album improvements
- more speed improvements when adding images to database using QT
- added option (on by default) to create group name automatically when adding images. New group name will be current system time. Later this could evolve to something better, like the top level dir of images to be added, appended with something to make it unique.
- improved IPTC metadata import. Repeated fields should be properly imported now
- show image filesize and dimensions on the bottom label @ preview pane
- misc. bugfixes everywhere
- full persistency for all kinds of similarity grouping (color,date,filename would get lost on 0.7.1)
- speedup when moving/copying images across groups
- improved startup time

Here is what changed:
- new Remove file command on Tools/imgSeekCmd
- new Similarity grouping by Filename
- added "scan for new images on startup" option to Options -> Database
- improved thumbnail iconview, you can now browse dirs with thousands of images instantly
- new Similarity grouping by Date (file modify date)
- new Similarity grouping by Color (extremely fast)
- improved Similarity grouping code. It's now implemented in C++. Grouping 1700 images took 25 seconds and now takes 10. Should also scale a lot better now.
- Fixed jpegtran argument
- rebuild thumbs for transformed images
- added range parameter to INT transform parameters

Mon Apr 28 21:33:37 BRT 2003
Here is what changed:
- added "Recent opened databases" to the file menu
- new HTML album style (Slides). Also fixed some problems on Acqua.
- Misc. bugs fixed.
- Browse by system directories can now show only image files
- "Scan all directories for new images" will now respect the restrictions on the "Add" tab.
- speed enhancements when images are added to database. (Specially when QT is used instead of ImageMagick). Adding 300 images would take on avg. 12.0 seconds, now it takes 7.6.
- added persistency (ie, imgSeek will now remember how you like to view a specific image) for rotations as a metadata field "ViewRotate".
- code cleanups, verbose mode command line option, fixed tab order on most dialogs, fixed Enter keypress event for the combobox on the Add tab.
- Improved and fixed HTML albums. Used patch from Steffen. There is now an option to generate an intermediary page for each image, with scaled down dimensions on the img HTML tag, so the user's browser can resize it before showing.

- improved Automatic Similarity Grouping
- documented/cleaned code. New module api docs on project page.

Tue Feb 18 17:54:45 BRT 2003
Notes:
Only the source tarball and a debian package will be released together.
RPM's may follow later.
Changes:
Browse by database directory tree hierarchy changed. Every entry is now atomic
imgSeek can now add images when the file has no extension
actions that apply on batches can now be launched from the Batch Editor dialog
setup will now detect if user has ImageMagick or QT development files, using what's appropriate when compiling C++ modules
adding images is now a little faster when you have ImageMagick lib on your system. A lot of optimizations are still possible and promised for next releases.
Finished IPTC metadata extraction support and made EXIF and IPTC optional when adding files (extracting may slow down the process of adding lots of files when you don't need iptc/exif)
improved slideshow options and resize behavior
better drag&drop support. (copy/move working the way it should)
added "ignore file extensions" when adding files
new "Caption" filter on the Transform dialog
new "Transform image dialog"
