zoom in and zoom out by touch screen

great works! :)

But i want to do smooth zoom in and zoom out by touch only.

can i use zoom in or zoom out by the drag of upper direction or downer direction at either side(left or right) of screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryhoo2:
Slide Top-Down

Could you make an option to slide to the next picture from top to the bottom? It is WAAAAYYY MUCH SMOOTHER (at least on Omnia II I8000) to scroll top-down than left-right direction.

With that and zooming by "touch" this program would be near perfect:))

Keep up the great work!

zoom

please put a touch zoom like the s2u2 wallpapers section
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
I would really, really like to know how you'd done this. And, if you'd used a program to set S2V as the default viewer, how would I go about backing up the changes? Are they in the registry, like in HK_CLASSES_ROOT?

In regards to this issue, I don't have a full answer, but I feel MortScript may be involved somehow...

RegWriteString("HKCU", "SOFTWARE\A_C\S2V", "LastFolder", "\Storage Card\My Pictures")

Hope that helps some.

Also, what are all of the image formats that S2V supports?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steve austin:
Similar problem here. I have the t-mo hd2. I installed a program to make the phone go into landscape mode and now s2v won't work. it starts to open and then shuts down. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but it is still not working. Anyone know the registry edit to get it back. i use this program religiously to change the wallpaper for s2u2. its a must have. Thanks.

hello everyone,

i have all my photos folders that are on the Storage Card however when i'm trying to navigate to those folders in S2V it won't let me navigate past /StorageCard (where i also have some pictures and wallpapers)

when, for instance, i'd like to navigate to /StorageCard/June2009/Beach because i have photos in there as well.

any help with this issue?

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holmanm:
From the READ ME FIRST on A_C's webpage.

You didn't say if this didn't work for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jbrittmartin:
yeah that's my issue. when i tap the arrow into the Storage folder it just shows all the photos in that folder and doesn't give me an option to go further into subfolders that i have in my Storage folder...

i guess maybe once it picks up photos in a folder it doesn't allow you to browse any deeper into any more subfolders within that folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holmanm:
What happens when you pick on the folder name (which is supposed to show the pictures)? I've never heard of the folder name and arrow function being switched, but maybe you are the first.

Hello guys,

I am using IconSoft PhoneX application (registered) along with S2U2.

When I have a missed call and try to open the device, it freezes and I need a soft reset to get it back.

Anyone having similar problems ?

Any solutions or ideas ?

(I' ve read the whole thread and tried everything described)

I really like PhoneX, and I paid for it. But it is getting useless...

Thanks anyway.

S2U2 0.98 Cab File

There you go.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paulsuerth:
great work,A_C, but i've munged something or other...

i have s2u2 .98 and s2v .2, but when i open s2v, there is only a text notice "no picture here". my log file...

17:23:39	s2v v0.20

17:23:39	Kaiser

17:23:57	quit

fwiw, i have a few pics on the device, but mostly on the storage card (2GB)... am i doing something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
That's a really great application. Works WAY faster than the image viewer built into WM5. Not to mention that it looks cooler. However, as ahmedfikry mentioned, there is a problem with zoom - once you zoomed the picture, you can't rotate it or scroll to next picture. The only way to see other picture i found is to call the menu, go back to thumbnails view and open a picture again.

Ho0w about making the cancel button exit zoom mode instead of quitting the program?

I also noticed another issue - when a 32bpp png image (with 8 bit transparency) is zoomed in, transparency information gets discarded. Some images can look really ugly this way...

Also, is the huge S2U button really necessary? i understand that this app is a wallpaper changer fol S2U2, but i think some people (like me) might also want to use it as a standalone picture viewer. How about replacing the S2U button with one that would call up a menu from which you could set the image as s2u wallpaper, (maybe also Today wallpaper), maybe delete the file, quit the program (in case cancel button only reverted to normal zoom and allowed scrolling to next photo)?

@amdworldx - There's a free rar version for pocketPC, you know... Might be worth checking out when you have access to a PC:

http://www.rarlab.com/rar/pocketrar371.exe

@paulsuerth - did you try going a directory up? Try the arrow in lower left corner.

Thiz iz getting very good! Thank you!

One thing... About the Remember Last Dir. You must of forgot something, like some people had said, it doesn't work. I found an entry for that on the Registry, tried to manually insert storage card/my documents/my pictures but still no effect.

After zoom no more action, but some people have said it too.

Otherwise, GREAT!

hi A_C,

Thanks a ton for this awesome app! works 100% w/no bugs on my good old non-phone iPaq hx2495 WM5 pda! :) now a definite staple PPC app and truly a wonderful piece of programming indeed.

regards & grateful,

myownregister

hi ahmedfikry and to those having problems after zooming,

there is no bug regarding this. after you finish zooming in to view your pic simply tap on your pic so an icon tray will slide up from below and you can choose to go back to thumbnails/select this pic as a S2U2 wallpaper/cancel or quit the app. if you decide to just view the same pic again, click your d-pad center button to clear the selection tray and go back to viewing the pic.

U R gr8!!

hey A_C

U made a very nice app!

I liked the 0.01 but the 0.20 is even better!!!!!

It runs fast, nice fullscreen mode! and fast development! (from 0.01 to 0.20!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dutchguy:
I think what most people want is to be able to slide through to a few pictures, zoom in one one, zoom out and then continue sliding through more pictures (at least, that's what I would like to do). I think all what is needed is a gesture or button to reset zooming so you can continue sliding to other pictures.

Another thing is that between sliding through pictures, there is a small but annoying delay (sometimes the wait cursor comes up), preventing fast smooth sliding between multiple pictures. If anything can be done about that, then that would be great.

For the rest, the program is already very nice and useable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roshanjain2:
hmmm...

I second that :-) It would be gr8..if we can continue sliding after zooming into any one picture. Also it would be gr8 if the windows processing icon can be avoided if the picture size is large. Then we can say that WM has more features than IP :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
It's hard to fix your problem, unless you could send me your pics. May be you can PM me a link of your pics. But I understand that this may have some personal issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Answers

Q. When Zooming & paning, cannot go to previous/next pic; cannot rotate?

A. Yes, because it's a complicated situation for the program identify all these finger movements. However, enabling DPAD navigation or a quick move back to navigation mode is possible and considering.

Q. When browsing a folder which has sub-folders, the pics under it cannot be browsed?

A. Yes. When opening any folders with sub-folders, the sub-folders will be listed first. Otherwise you cannot go into these sub-folders if all the pics are displayed first. Then you tap that folder (at the top) again, the pics will be displayed.

Q. Sometimes the waiting clock will come out, can you eliminate it?

A. Buy a faster device. A large pic is a large pic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finthamoussu:
Nice features in v0.20 but...

Hi A_C, the new features in V0.20 are great, but I have to say that it runs very slower than V0.10 on my high resolution WVGA Toshiba G900 (it's a fast device (520Mhz CPU and 128MB of RAM), but it has much more pixels to draw on the 800*480 screen than the QVGA screen :p). So, my question is, I don't know what have you changed in this version, I guess you added some graphic effects, and what I want to know is if you could make some of the optional (configurable) on coming versions, so I (and other high resolution screen devices owners) can use this GREAT application :).

I think VGA devices would have the same problem too.

Thanks in advance,

Keep the GOOD work...

And a suggestion (take it if you want), it would be GREAT that in the first post, you mention what are the features (as the changes log you have for current version) you are working in for the next version, so your FANS ;) knows what to expect on the next release.

Thanks again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ggg123123:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
Any chance of seeing a picsel browser-like solution? When you tap and drag, it's considered a pannig movement, but when you double tap and drag, it's zoom in/out, sliding near the bottom edge scrolls to next/previous picture, sliding next to top edge could rotate picture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finthamoussu:
Suggestion

Other suggestion may be:

When changing pictures (draging left or right with a fast gesture), you can only change to the next picture, and then you have to wait a while to make the same gesture again because if you don't wait, the second gesture is not recognized. May be you could do something there, like capture the gesture, and execute after the first gesture action is completed.

I hope you understand me (sorry for my bad English).

Thanks again for your work A_C
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
That's probably because when you change picture, program loads the next one into memory (so it always has the current, previous and the next pic in the memory), so that the changing animation can be smooth. But that's just my guess.

But that gives me an idea: A_C, wouldn't there be a way to load the image at half the size it's loaded now and display it scalled up twice (maybe with some bilinear or trilinear scalling)? This way loading times should be shorter for scrolling, and if the image isn't changed for a while, then it could be loaded at full size.

S2V not showing all images in the folder

Hi guys,

I have recently installed latest version of S2V in my WM 6.1. It works pretty well :). I have a gallery folder in my storage card. It is loaded with 1000+ 240x320 wallpapers. But unfortunately, S2V is not displaying all those images in thumbnail view :(. It is showing hardly 50 images in thumbnail view. But I can view all images in the viewer mode, ie, when I open the last thumbnail and press right arrow (or I swipe screen to view next image). All the images are accessible this way and can successfully set as S2U2 background. But thumbnail problem is a big issue. I don't want to go after other image viewers since S2V is the best application available for stylus free image browsing :cool:.

I have a 128 mb RAM, out f which, I have 85 mb free space. Also I have 10 mb free phone storage space. (I don't think the free storage space, 10 mb in RAM is not enough, since S2V stores cache in storage card itself ;))

Anybody got a solution :confused: ? Please help me to solve this..

Thanks in advance... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cliemonster:
I dont' know much about the process, but it seems to me there is always going to be loading time needed for larger pictures. I don't have a problem with that. It seems like we're maybe expecting a little too much, to have such a fantastic image viewer but still expect it to load big images lightening fast with no lag time. I think for me a more reasonable alternative would be to not have the standard wait cursor popping up in the middle of the screen. Maybe somehow that could be changed to just a little hourglass up in the corner, or something else less obtrusive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
I also think having a menu button in the center rather than the s2u2 would be awesome. You could have the s2u2 button within this menu. Also, any chance of reinstating the slide animation AS you're performing the gesture rather than once the gesture is completed? I'm really glad this program is taking off. It completely blows tene's PictureViewer out of the water even on just the second version. Hope it continues to get better.

Btw, I have one bug. I wanted to view the windows directory which had about 1000 pics, but it wouldn't let me scroll past the first 100 or so. Any obvious reason for this?

Watch the free RAM level.

@paulsuerth

The button is in grey, but not greyed out.

@macsoft

The folder should look like \storage card\my documents\my pictures (wrong slash & missed the first slash)

Make sure S2U2 is not running when installing S2V. Maybe a soft-reset will help as well.

You would click on /My Documents/My Pictures to see all the pics in that folder.

Wierd... I edited the shortcut to add the switch command. My pictures are in \storage card\my documents\my pictures\, so I added that.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] r04d5t3r:
i like S2V very much...

A_C, here's my opinion:

- added command line to a folder is great

- how about adding command line to a file so we can use S2V as default picture viewer? (e.g: when assigned to a file, S2V then opens in viewing mode, not browse folder mode)

- zooming mode is still a problem, when zoomed in can't slide to other picture as if it's locked

- change 'S2U2' button caption to 'Options' or whatever else that could bring more options and settings would be great

- tapping on a folder or a thumbnail sometimes need to be done twice or more, as if it detects the tap as a gesture to pan/scroll. maybe the sensitivity is too high

- about speed problem when viewing a large picture, i think there's a solution to gain speed. try the resco photo viewer: it loads necessarily to fit 240x320 pixel screen, not the whole picture and then zoomed out to fit the screen. it significantly reduces time to load. maybe you could consider to use similar method

that's my opinions so far. hope this helps S2V become the most favorite picture viewer program.

thanks.

This is great. I think it can become the best viewer. So far I've used PCMViewer, Resco Photo Viewer.

Feature requests

1)can we zoom using the screen instead of the DPAD?

2)double click screen --> back fit screen (So you can scroll to the next picture, otherwise it only tries to pan.

3)Speed improvement.

problems noticed:

1)if you quickly click a folder or a picture it doesn't take. You have to click and hold a little.

2)I don't know why it doesn't save my last browsed folder.

3)It doesn't show the correct amount of battery remaining (but It's not that important)

I'm using a Sprint Touch.

Thanks much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
A_C, I don't know what you're thinking about doing with zooming. For me initially I was hoping for something like Picsel where tap-and-drag pans while double-tap-and-up/down zooms in and out. However, sometimes the double-tap can be a pain in the ass, so one thing I was thinking about for zooming via screen rather than only hardware buttons was to integrate it into the menu. So when in fullscreen, rotate and panning gestures work, and when you tap to bring up the menu, you could have a vertical slider going down the length of the right side to zoom in or out. Just a thought for a simple way to integrate it.
