PicView Files

🚀 What's New

• Mouse Side Buttons Customization:
  You can now change how the mouse side buttons work. Choose to navigate file history or switch between directories. Find this setting under the Mouse tab in the settings window (#199).

🛠️ Improvements

• Directory Navigation:
• Improved navigation between directories. If Search subdirectories is enabled, PicView moves to the next directory in the list; if off (or if there are no directories in the list), it navigates as before.
• PicView now remembers your startup directory (including subdirectories) and restores it on the next launch.
• Performance:
• Preloader has been fine-tuned for better performance and lower memory usage.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed incorrect saved settings path when saving in portable mode (#213).
• Corrected cases where keybindings and file history were not saved when there was no write permission.
• Restoring the window from a maximized state now correctly keeps its position when auto-fit is enabled.
• Fixed start-up menu text alignment and missing text issues.
