Picsie: Now with less broken zooming
Well, that was a bit embarrassing… All that effort to pre-compute a decent zoom level for images when you load them, and then completely ignoring it. Oops, fixed now.

Minor Picsie update
Just made a quick update to Picsie – larger images wouldn’t zoom to fill the screen properly, this has been fixed. At some point I’ll stop being lazy and deal with the “forms can’t be much bigger than the screen” limitation…

Picsie updated to Alpha 1.3
Picsie has a minor new feature – a little UI improvement to make it easier to load more than one window at once.
When you load an image or video with Picsie, it checks to see if any other Picsie windows are open. If not, it opens in the middle of the screen. If Picsie is already running, it opens wherever Windows puts it, so it doesn’t cover the previous window.

Picsie is a very lightweight image and video viewer, with an emphasis on speed and minimal interface. I primarily made it because while in the past I was perfectly happy with XnView, Quick Look on the Mac made it obvious how much Windows was missing something similar.
A while later I saw VJPEG which did pretty much exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately it lacks a few features I like, so I set about making my own.
