Changes:

• new-opt: -p to pass password for unzip or unrar.
• new-nkcom: X to set $psidx.
• changed-kb: "I" now toggles status bar display mode.

• changed-kb: i to toggle filename display in slideshow. statusbar on/off
  is disabled in slideshow.

• imv_fck now use lsof to process extracted or converted files, if available.

• in group mode, last shown image is preserved.
• &save_fl now saves $kf and open_files dialog can select flist too. $kf in the
  flist is used only when there are no other images to show.
• &prev_image was integrated to &next_image.
• save_fl and load_fl now encodes/decodes root-path with #DIR: tags.
• original width and height now set to @stats at &reg_file.
• @stats format changed.
• new tag #ARXV: added for imv_fck.
• some lines integrated to &no_image.
• global status now saved for each group.
• Fitting logic changed: when fitting height for x-wide window, necessary scale
  can make width larger than the window width, which expects horizontal scrollbar
  to appear and correction on the height of viewport reduces the scale, results in
  no scrollbar, in which case fit height fails and fit width will be performed.
• imv_fck now processes imv_ex and imv_cv with threads, and the image files are
  passed to main at once during the extraction/conversion.
• imv_ver to show about popup added.
• slideshow fade-in/out curve parameter changed from Gaussian to exponential.
• logic optimization for around &end_files.
• imv_fck now reports #PID: for itself and children.
• in group mode image status will be saved/loaded for each group.... read more

Changes:

• "plugins" directory split into "loaders" and "extensions".
• SE implemented with imv_snd.pm.
• resources directory split into snd and pix.
• default slideshow interval changed to 5s.
• osd implemented for slideshow.
• &set_ufnc now searches in extensions directory for filenames without path.
• the user function will be passed to &runcom if returns -1 when no args given.
• &set_ufnc(script,key_or_name,run,args) upgrade. if key_or_name begins with '
  it is a name, run=0 do not run, 1=run, 2=run and return without set.
  the if key_or_name is undef #KEY or #NAME is sought, which can be set multiple times.
• some extensions added.
• logic correction in &runcom for running %ufncs.
• &keysim now accepts . as nop, which is roughly equal to sleep 500 ms.
• mouse-drag in imv_tnv implemented.
• imv_ft, imv_ftf, imv_fte, imv_ex and imv_cv logic changed. commands are defined at
  imv_ft and cv and ex retrieves command-line from FT::get_com. &is_ok will not return
  true if the binary is not available, in which case plugins directory is searched.
• user-defined &sbarstr function implemented.
• implementing history match in shell command mode.... read more

Changes:

• new-opt: '-a' to set a start-up script.
• setting user-defined keybind implemented. it does not work for nk-coms.
• filename completion implemented with ^D in shell-command mode.
  not sure if it works for multibyte-chars.
• user-defined function handler implemented.
• BUG: getting rgb values of default bg or fg color of base results in
  various and incorrect values. setting an inverse color for current &
  selected fails in tnv.
• FIX: main calls show_tnv with $kf while $kf is undef and hangs.
• FIX: gid display in tnv changed to white on half-black.
• FIX: * is replaced by # at &do_com.
• FIX: execution stops at show_image, where &set_ctid is called and &set_ps
  of tnv fails for $twin->window is undef. it occurs after some files are
  moved and load failed and tnv closed by ^Escape. tnv now sets tnvmode=-1
  when $win is destroyed and checking for $ptnv and $$ptnv should be
  replaced with $tnvmode>=0.
• FIX: file extraction fails when using unzip v6.00 because its outputs are
  unreadable when the archive contains wide-char filenames. logic changed
  not to read stdout of the command. the extracted files are to be searched
  by imv_dm.
• FIX: imv_cv now can read utf8 wide-char filenames .

Changes:

• new-kb: nk-com: 'Return' to set gid. '0Return' to clear.

• &do_com now clears the text when done.
• logic correction for redo_com: to restore focus before
• &print_flist now prints gid by default.

  kind of mutually inclusive, for example, open find and then enter

• FIX: 'I' prints $lastsc for $lastkc.
• FIX: adjusting aspect ratio in tnv fails if -x and invalid files given.
• FIX: tnv update failure when &show_image removes an image. now &show_image
  does not remove but show 'hatena.png' for unloadable file.
• FIX: 'imv -x a.png' fails to load 'a.png/a.png'. &add_files now convert
  filename to absolute path using 'Cwd'.

imvy v0.12.0 has been released and the project status updated to beta.

known problems:

• on some platforms, loading extracted files fails when the file name contains wide characters.
• when running shell command, no output can be seen untill the shell finishes.

todo:

• conversion of ps/eps/pdf files that "gs" can handle to display images.
• recursively reading directory.
• flip, rotate, crop and rescale of images and keep these states.
• fit width/height of the image to window or fit window to the image.
• embedded or separated thumbnail viewer.
• run shell command on images.
• regex matching on filenames.
• sorting of files by names, size and date.
• slide-show mode
• auto scroll mode for comics viewing.
