JPEG Saver 4.2.1
Published
This is the minor update I mentioned last week - apart from a small bugfix in the clock item dialog and two new transitions called "Dotty" and "Spot Wipe" (Yes, I know it sounds like a cleaning product. Thinking of good names for things is not my strong point - JPEG Saver doesn't save JPEGs either.) the main difference in this version is where the screen saver is installed on 64-bit systems.
Up to now, JPEG Saver has suggested installing into the
Windows/System32 folder - you could always change the install
folder to somewhere else, but this is where the Control Panel Display
Properties looks for screen savers to display in the drop-down box. On a
64-bit Windows installation, the System32 folder is for 64-bit
executables, and 32-bit versions go into SysWOW64. The operating
system will actually redirect any 32-bit files copied into System32
into the SysWOW64 folder.
This is where things went a bit wrong. 64-bit Windows 7's Control Panel looks
in SysWOW64 for screen savers, but 64-bit Vista's doesn't.
Luckily, all versions of Windows also look in the main Windows
folder, so the new installer will use that folder when it detects a 64-bit
operating system. The updated installer is available from the
downloads page.
