What’s new in version 1.5.9

  • By popular demand, add preference to default to slideshow-in-window
  • Fix crash when generating thumbnails for cr3 files
  • Fix arw and nef files showing up the wrong size (very small!) in slideshow mode (appears to be a bug in Apple's frameworks)
  • Show (non-collapsed) file browser section of window for new users of the app (it was accidentally collapsed by default starting in version 1.5.3)
  • Auto-advance is now paused when you go backwards (hit space or right arrow to resume; hit 0 to kill the timer completely)
  • Add hidden preference to ignore the notch on macbook: run defaults write net.blyt.phoenixslides pretendNotchIsntThere -bool YES in Terminal

This is a good simple viewer app. Just wish it supported EPS files.

Minimalistic image browser. Very lightweight, which is a big plus. Few nice and useful features, like rotate, flip, to make progressive JPG which is useful on slow connection. I wish the "info" feature, instead of going to right click-services-info could be made as a separate clickable feature, placed for example in the top right corner of the window. Otherwise 5 stars!

The best slide viewer. Only wish is that I could get it out of full-screen. To do anything else I have to quit and restart.
