Great job with .40!!

One thing though. When i rotate an image, it is usually to go to landscape mode, However, the slide functions do not change with change in orientation. For example, i rotate left to get the picture in landscape mode. I turn my device to view it in landscape mode. To go to next image I would slide in the 240 pixel direction, except that with the device turned in landscape, it is now sliding up or down instead of right or left. Same thing with rotating it back. To me these functions should move according to how you rotate it, like in S2P.

I guess, some people may rotate an image but not for the purpose of changing it to landscape, and so they don't want the orientation changed, but to me that is less often the case.

Hi,

I have just installed S2V 0.40 (HX4700 with WM6.1) but my DPAD up and down does not work with the zoom fonction left and right work well to go to the next images.

is there any way to setup this probleme ?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] albertorrent:
I said nothing, it works perfectly well after a soft reset ;-)

any way, I prefer this soft than pocket CM because this one sort my images in the good order. It is important for me because I have a lot of comics to read.

thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rstoyguy:
I'm having a problem and wonder if someone can help me out. When I install then run s2v v0.40 and change folders by tapping them, the app closes. If I install 0.38, then 0.40 it functions great. Anyone else or any fixes?

I have a sprint vogue w/wm6.1

Hope I'm not too late.

Happy Birthday A_C.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
Thanks all for the greetings.

For the missing triangle (the order of sorting), it's just a character picked from a UNICODE table. Maybe it's missed in some other language's device. It's pity that MS does not include it in all the ROM. Anyway, I'll think of some other way round...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
When the pic is cropped, it'll use the maxium compression rate to crop the pic. The size can only be choosen when it's sent untouched.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christiankirana:
how to zoom in pics?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MOHDWADEA:
Thanks for response.. just moved to device memory and this stopped happening..i understand the difficulty in program development and i know this program will improve and if this becomes half as good as slide to unlock then i will have another must have program for my pda. keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gmclella:
Sweet little application. I see a lot of potential with this and already prefer it to the default HTC Touch Picture Viewer. I can't wait until you include some of the zoom and rotate features.

Findings/Suggestions:

1. When launching the app, it starts in \my docs\my pics folder. I've got folders in this dir but no pics or files. On initial launch, S2V displays "no picture here.", but does not show the folders. In order to view the folders I have to click on the back arrow (which takes me to \my docs\my pics\ again?) and then it will show the the folders that are in \my docs\my pics.

2. I'd also like the ability to set default start folder location, and/or remember last folder on exit as already mentioned before.

3. Perhaps a drop down for selecting folder for quicker navigation (ie. like File Explorer). This would also provide the order by feature too that some people have requested.

4. This one is minor but possibly rename the Cancel button to Close or Exit in the main viewing modes, as I wasn't sure what it did at first but it is easy enough to find out, but leave it as cancel after you click on the S2U2 button.

Keep up the good work.

Hi

Cool little app, unfortunately I cannot start it on a HTC Universal with VGA (running original WM 5 ROM)

Only thing he does is setting the screen to black (whole screen), and after that it seems to hang...

File association

Dumdidum: I don't think the problem is the VGA screen, as it works perfectly and smooth on my WVGA Toshiba G900.

A suggestion I forgot to mention before, would be to be able to associate file extensions (ie. jpg, gif) with S2V, so if I open an image with any file explorer, it would open S2V, on the selected image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SultanH:
Excellent program. It works on Sprint Touch. Can't wait for the Zoom and pan feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LiquidP:
The same at my Xda Orbit2 (O2 HTC Touch Cruise brand)

wanna spot a small problem: when browsing pics, the wait animation appears for ~1 sec and it's really annoying. By the way: great app A_C !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] despa:
hi!

Is there any option of setting an different start-folder?! I got all my pics on sd card and I always have to scroll there to look at em.

Good work!

I dont think there is an option for that yet.

Thank you AC, as s2u2 a very smooth program! am enjoying it every day
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vukile:
Excellent program.. I hope to see bigger text in the navigation pages and maybe a downward swipe will close the slideshow. Tiff support please!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christiankirana:
Anyway to zoom in or zoom out the pictures?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VandyCWG:
Not Yet, This is version .01 in beta.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] despa:
Thanks for the quick response...Would be a nice addon in further versions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hubert-bangol:
Very excellent software!

Could it be possible to include the numbers of pics when choosing the directory (ie : near the folders names)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
No, as it will need a folder pre-scan that takes time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
v0.20

Thanks all for the comments & testings. Just updated to v0.20... read the 1st post for details.

Although there is zero donation so far, I still release an almost fully functional application (view thumbnail/full pic, zoom in/out, pane/rotate) because I like this little application very much. Hope you will like it as well. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thiti31:
Hello A_C,

very good soft, thanks... Works fine on my X51v.

Just a minor bug : "Set as Today wallpaper" can't be translate cause not in the lang.ini file.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanglifemike:
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! Thanks so much A_C. Just got back in home and tried it out, its great. I love the sort by time feature, that was all that I needed.

And Happy Birthday!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] imfloflo:
I have a very big bug! in the lastest version 0.40 wen i open S2V and i click on a picture its close S2V.

I must open S2V go to 2 or 3 folder up, reclick on the good folder and then i can see my picture without crashs.

this tricks HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V, then start S2V again. works but when i close and reopen the bug start again i must delete this folder every time or use my personal trick ( go 2-3 parents folder and reopen the folder )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] superflysocal:
nobody else view images in landscape?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] albertorrent:
Hi A_C and thanks for your work !

Is it possible to have "see full size" as a new image option ?

Of course I can use the ZOOM to see the full size but as I am a comic reader, i prepare my comics images with a full size ready de be read.

so a full size option would be very apreciated.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Balrog82:
+ 1 out of the same reason. it is somewhat ennerving to always have to zoom in so long while reading comics. Plus, like in my case, when it zooms without me wanting to it takes sometimes like forever to just view one page of a comic.

*cheers*
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flyingmachine:
strange.... very strange...

hi every body,

I've just install the new version of S2V 0.40, but it seems i have a problem not listed for the moment.

when i start the application, it freeze until i connect the cruise to the activesync via usb!

i 've already tried the registry trick, to install .38, etc...

it seems it 's coming from the top curtain which is blocked on the windows ' s one and not on the S2V 's one, what is done when i connect to the usb

so exceptionnaly, S2V 0.40, 0.38 and 0.35 doesn't work for me.

I'm using a htc cruise, Wm6 professionnal, rom orange 1.29.73.2 fre

thx for your help, and keep going on,

happy birthday to you A_C
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enriqueluis:
nice application...2 thumbs up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cliemonster:
I'm having a similar problem. On a couple of my image folders, it will start to show the thumbnails and then simply close itself. After that, every time I open S2V it will open to that folder and then immediately close. I have to go into the registry and delete the LastFolder key. It doesn't seem to be image size, because on of the folders has very small images in it. I'll see if I can isolate whether its a particular image that is causing the problem. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] littlehamid:
i havnt downloaded it yet, but does it become the default image viewer on the phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanglifemike:
NO, it does not
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jrpereira:
I'm in the same boat as these two gentlemen.

Used on a Mogul running WinMobile 6.1 also running S2U2 1.18
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cliemonster:
Well, I did manage to clear this up for now. I found a corrupt image in one folder by opening the folder in Windows XP Explorer, which listed it as corrupt when trying to show a thumbnail. The other folder I *think* was a result of a high res image that was causing problems for the thumbnail generator. I went to the image after the last one that was displaying (its hard to tell because it would only flash on the screen for a few seconds). When I resized that image everything worked fine. So I don't know if there is a limit on file size and/or resolution, or if it was just a fluke thing. But everything is working fine now.

V40 Install issue

A_C, found that if you install V40 to a virgin machine (ie, no previous S2V install), then it wont find sub folders and when you try to change to any other folder/directory, or select a picture when not connected via activesync it crashes.

Installing V38 then immediately V40 doesn't solve this issue.

Installing V38, running V38, then installing V40 doesn't solve it either.

Only way I got it to work was to run V38 setting the folder for pictures, installing V40, soft reset (may be a misnomer this) and looking at the pictures. Once this was done, V40 will happily change the folder and view pictures without error.

Good luck on this one!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
+1! After all, why else would you be rotating the image that way other than to view iy in that orientation. Seems natural then that the finger swipes and dpad controls should be based on that new orientation as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rstoyguy:
Thank goodness, I thought I was going crazy for a minute there. :)

Edit: tried the fix, couldn't get it working either...back to v0.38...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flyingmachine:
didn't work for me...

could you confirm what you mean by

"run V38 setting the folder for pictures, installing V40, soft reset (may be a misnomer this) and looking at the pictures. Once this was done, V40 will happily change the folder and view pictures without error."

because i install V38, then i run it with a start issue, so i edit the registry and set the pictures folder's,then soft reset then i install the V40 and run it but i still have same issue...

'm really going crazy!!!! i'll try it again tomorrow

good night and thx for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlk:
OK, what I did was this:

1. Install V38, run it, select the folder with my pictures, select a picture to view, then Quit

2. Install V40 - all works!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flyingmachine:
still does not work

Hi, first of all thank for your help

i did what you said...

1/ install V38, run it.... BUT i have a start issue. i can't use it because each time it's going to close itself...

so i tried to set the folder with the registry editor, i tried also with pictures and videos, i tried with pictures album...

and then

2/

install the V40...

i still the same... freeze until i connect to activesync via usb!

i really don't understand...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
When it's freezed, can you press the ANSWER key to quit S2V?

There is a file S2V.LOG created under the installed folder, please post it here.

I already had .38 installed, and I did not uninstall .38 before .40. When I installed .40 the phone said that it would remove the previous version before the new one(.40) could be installed. Thats how I install S2U2 also and it always work great. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about .40.

Thanks again A_C, you will be getting another donation soon. :D

Sounds like the installation is incomplete, pls follow these steps:

1. open any registry editor, delete the tree under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V

2. install v0.40 with the CAB file from the 1st post

3. overwrite the installed S2V.EXE with the file extracted from s2v-0.40b.zip

4. start S2V

Please tell me the result.

From all the S2* cabs I've looked at, none of them create the registry key, so I've always assumed the key was created by S2* on the first run - so, is there an issue with that on S2V?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meehaa:
no

doesnt work, still self closes once folder z browsed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
where is the cache folder located by default .. on storage card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmb2n:
The cahce folder was defaulted to my extended rom. When checking out its content, I discovered that it has multiple "_cahce" sub folders under the main root "_cache". On top of that, the there were lot of non-asci folder names which failed to delete, and it crashed file explorer either from PC or PDA. The only way to get rip of it was to format the extended rom.

More opten, I have to delete the registry directory to get s2v to work. Loading large photo also has a significant delay with any annoyance hour glass icon.

Anyone else experience this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
The Extended_ROM on some devices gets corrupt if new files are placed there. The non ASCII names are a symptom of this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A_C:
No registry key creation with the cab is to preserve the old settings while upgrade. The main problem with most devices that cannot start S2V in the past was those devices do not have some standard folders like \My Documents\My Pictures\. But it's the past...

Read your PM pls.

Maybe... to be exact... the first temporary folder in the root.

i gota a question, even though the new ver. mentioned it has zoom in option, i am not able to zoom in any pictures other than its normal size, i installed on Tmobile WING .. does this have a picture zoom option such as (apple iphone zoom in ) if so please advise how to set it up or how to use it.

I have a new problem with the version 0.40:

When i go to a picture full screen, and then i go back to the thumbview, the "left"-button is gray and i cant use this or "..." or "quit" button.

When i try it, the programm hangs.

Wenn i ignore this three buttons i can select again a picture to the full screen (and quit the programm there).

Little optical thing:

The Sort by name/time shows only an empty square,

to show the selected option.

Little optical thing for all versions:

Is there a possibility to not show the "windows wait" icon

at picture full screen?

PS: I have made a clean installation (incl registry clean),

but does not solve the problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mambu:
sorry again

Hi

this is my second message that i send you...

i would give you a advise for the next version of s2v...for me in your software missing a important function...the rename of photo...

sorry for my english...good job
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakub_w:
my s2v crashes now constantly whenever i click on a picture. right away, no error messages.

it used to work fine, i dont know what happened at all. the only thing i did was delete all my photos from the storage card, and use a different picture for the s2u2 background (the flower).

help? i loved s2v when it worked
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spiderm@n_:
Same here, it also crashes when I try to open a direcotry, containing pictures. First I thought it's because my old SD card wasn't right (I can't properly copy from/to it), but it was generating thumbnails instead, and worked on other directories, now I can't open a directory containing pictures.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YoLoLo:
Guys, have you tried A-C's trick about malfunction ???

See 1st post, you'll need to delete a registry branch, soft reset, then enter the program again...

Had worked perfectly for me ;)

Hope this helps

I've made a ROM change during that time, but it never worket, even if it's started for the first time, 0.38 works, I'll try tyhe trick, later.

may I make a suggestion ?

I managed to associate .jpg files with the program I wante to be opened with.

(with the attached CAB, see description here : http://www.pda4x.com/read.php?tid=76811 )

I tried with S2V but it never opens with the image I have selected.

Is there a chance in futur uptades to open S2V with the image I have selected ?

thanks for all
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Does anyone else have this problem or it's just me:

When I open S2V in landscape it crashes and freezes the phone?

I reverted back to 0.38 and no problem whatsoever.

Portrait mode is completely fine.

Thanks to A_C for the great software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] albertorrent:
I tried and I too cannot open S2V in landscape mode. it freeze.

but I never use it in landscape mode so I don't care, I stay with the V.40
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
When I first upgraded I don't use landscape either but recently I'm bored with my wall paper so I use s2v in landscape mode to apply the wall paper in landscape, and that's where I discovered the crash.

New version of s2p crashes too, so I also revert that to the older version.

To the author of this software

thanks, i love this, suddenly my hp6965 is a cool PDA again.

this is much better then the HP image viewer, better then xnview (well maybe xn view added advanctage is that you can do minimal editing.. but really who want to edit images on a pda .. u want a nice cool way to view them)

and your APP is the one for me...

HP image viewer trys crashes for some jpg i have.. no idea which one and why.. guess what u app DO not crash!

good work...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] knaak:
A_C, both S2V and S2P are really fantastic programs. Not to mention s2u2 of course. You are a great developer, thats for sure!

Now my question (posted also in the S2P forum):

Is it possible to create "album cover flow" for S2V too?

Showing thumbnails of the pictures of course otherwise it would be much too slow!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Papachabre:
I'm having trouble with this last version of S2V (0.40) and I think others are having the same problem. When I try to switch folders the program quits. I tried uninstalling, deleting the reg key and reinstalling. Then I tried installing, deleting the reg key and soft-resetting. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a solution?

Problems aside I love your programs, A_C - Keep up the good work!

Edit: I tried changing the cache location to \_cache\ and S2V worked. I then changed it to \Storage Card\cache\ and it went back to what it was doing. So I tried changing it back to \cache\ and now it still won't work. I don't know what made it work that one time but I wish I did.
