Open source image viewer: ImageGlass 9.2.0.1208 can resize images

The update of the open source image viewer ImageGlass for Windows to version 9.2.0.1208 includes, in addition to the main innovations of being able to change the image size and the revised cropping tool in version 2.0, various optimizations of existing functions and general bug fixes.

Image viewer upgraded with new tools

Other new features in ImageGlass 9.2.0.1208 include a slideshow mode that adds a custom zoom feature. There is also now a custom toolbar button that includes hotkey support.

Numerous improvements to dark mode too

One of the numerous improvements is that the limit for the maximum image size has been removed. This means that images larger than 16,384 pixels can now also be displayed. In addition, full resolution image rendering is now supported. Also added support for automatically sorting new images based on the current sort order and removed the alarm sound when confirming image deletion.

The slide show has also been revised in ImageGlass 9.2.0.1208, which now makes it possible to set the interval for changing the images to less than one second. There have also been adjustments to Dark Mode, which is now also available for tooltips in the cropping tool and in the color picker.
