JPEG Saver 4.19.3
Published
JPEG Saver 4.19.3 is another version with very few changes in it. Very few visible changes, anyway. This is the first version compiled using Visual Studio 2017 and its updated toolset, which shouldn't change how JPEG Saver looks or works but does mean I can use more up-to-date language features.
One important change that might be visible to some users is that JPEG Saver will now exit if it “loses” the Direct3D device, instead of carrying on with a black screen. Losing the device means that another process has accessed the screen for whatever reason, and JPEG Saver no longer has exclusive access. The recommended response to losing the device is to reallocate all the Direct3D resources and reset, but since JPEG Saver is first and foremost a screensaver I thought exiting would make more sense. In fact, I couldn't even think of a way to test JPEG Saver losing the device that wouldn't have made it exit anyway. But it was possible.
There are a couple of slightly more useful updates in this version too - I've added another new transition, “Unfold Push”, and some new format options for the process info item to show the elapsed time.
The new version is available from the downloads page.
