New Desktop Picture Frame 4.1 beta build is available

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Build nomber is 4.1.3707.39430. Hope this one will be a release candidate.
Changes made against prior public build:

  • Term “title” changed to “caption” all over the program.
  • Caption background of “Plain black” frames set off by default.
  • Help file is updated with new figures and some text.
  • User license text is updated, registered user now granted to have a number of copies for exclusive use.
  • Swapping smoothness made measurable in percents that allows smoothness to be image display size irrespective.
  • Minor code changes made.

Bugs description that were found and killed:

  • image currently showing do not reflect changes made for caption options.
  • image reappears and displays while the boss hotkey mode is active.
  • image opacity hard change at the end of each transition that causes transition look too harsh.
  • image from previous list displays after clearing image list or loading a new one.
  • mess with image show interval after decreasing it.
    image opacity hard change at activation moment that causes swapping look too harsh.
  • code mess with transition parameters (opacity levels, transition interval and so on).
  • the program fails after options pages window is closed if the image list is empty; as example at very first start.
  • Everyone is invited for beta-testing. I’m interested especially in success stories of fails on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
