Dear all! I've finally released a new lux version, after a lot of work on the program. Linux users already had 'tasters' of what's now in version 1.2.0, there are two big changes:
- I wrote a new GUI using Dear ImGui - I am now using OpenImageIO for image input The new GUI should make it much easier to handle the large amount of options and settings, and pretty much everything can now be done graphically, rather than having to resort to command line options. The new GUI also has plenty of tool tips, so one can approach the functionality without having to switch between the program and the documentation all the time. I hope this helps to make the program more attractive. The mouse and keyboard commands are unchanged. Using OpenImageIO for image input pulls in a lot of other libraries via plugins and linkage, so the number of dependencies has grown dramatically, but I think it's worth it. lux can now open a large variety of image files, including camera RAWs (using libraw, which is similar to dcraw) and videos as sequences of single images (using ffmpeg). Some of the image formats which can now be visualized are quite new (e.g. HEIF/HEIC ), and they were one of the reasons why I switched to OIIO - the newer formats weren't supported by libvigraimpex. Under the hood there's the same fast rendering engine using multithreaded SIMD code, the only change is that automatic rendering quality for animations is now on by default. And, needless to say, there were many small bug fixes and tweaks, hopefully all for the better! There are binaries available <https://bitbucket.org/kfj/pv/downloads> for Linux (in AppImage format) Windows (portable and installable version) and for intel-based macs - a version for mac silicon will hopefully materialize soon, until then, mac silicon users can run the intel code with Rosetta, which works quite well.
