Sounded like a good program but i couldn't get it to run. I downloaded and found that it was source code with little documentation other than to run "make". I compiled on Ubuntu 18.04 . It was necessary to identify and and install a large number of ubuntu development packages. In two places there was an undefined "FAR" word that prevented compilation... perhaps intended for ms-windows? I removed those. In one place there was a reference to undefined word png_infopp_NULL so I just replaced it with NULL. It then compiled, but with hundreds of scary compiler warnings, many related to sizes of integers. On running, it immediately crashed (from a function called make_gtk_types_safe()). I'm thinking this program was originally tested on 32-bit systems and doesn't work properly on 64-bit systems... just a guess. I gave up.
