Updates

Sorry again for the problem with associating GIF files, I'll work on that as well.

To those who experience problems and crashes pls remove previous versions and redownload this updated version (1.0.1)
note me if problem is still there. thanks!

Fixed all possible issues causing a generic error to stop app from starting.

You can now view images from explorer using "Open with..."

External programs can now be associated with Imagepad giving you the flexibility to pass the image to your alternative viewer or editor with a few clicks.

Profiles are here to offer more customizations and more choices for our users.

Lots of other improvements.

Some bugs fixed & many more...

Pardon me for the "delete" bug and "set wallpaper" incompatibility for some OS. I'll work on it on the next version.

Compatibility

Windows XP | Vista | 7

.NET 3.5 Fw (.NET Fw 2.0 unconfirmed?)

x86 | x64

note : pls help me test this on your system if you have x64 system with .NET 3.5 Fw installed
and to those with .NET Fw lower than 3.5 (possibly 2.0) installed, please try if Imagepad will run in your system. note me. I am trying to make this app compatible as it can be.

How to

Set it as the default viewer manually

Right-click on desired image file (.png | .jpg | .bmp | etc.)
From the context menu, choose to "Open with..." > "Select program"
A dialog box will appear, browse the location of "Imagepad.exe" and check the "Set as default viewer for all file types" box.

note : there is an issue associating gif files.

After long hours of coding and debugging I finally made two steps to completing my dream image viewer.

Please

and feel free to comment!

~ Enjoy.

I like it, great interface!! +fav

arjotsingh Featured By Owner Aug 17, 2012

When are you going to release the final version?
Can u make it a little faster on startup and there are no next previous buttons for loading images from a folder?
By the way a nice app man.

I like this app, but will there be a proper installer version soon?

elbuga Featured By Owner Jun 28, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

It's very slow to load (5 seconds+) even after the first time, and it seems to not remember preferences, like canvas set to grey (it always appear white on next program start) and ribbon not hidden (always defaults to hidden).

I have to save my preferences somehow or there is somthing I am missing here?

G-rawl Featured By Owner May 27, 2011 Professional Interface Designer

I like this cool interface, but where is next/prev buttons? Back to XNView

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner May 31, 2011 Professional Interface Designer

When multiple images are loaded.
You may hover your mouse cursor below and the navigation buttons will pop-up.
It's designed that way to make it more clean.

Hope this helps.

G-rawl Featured By Owner May 31, 2011 Professional Interface Designer

wow. it's tooo clean.

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Jun 14, 2011 Professional Interface Designer

yep. it's designed that way. thank you.

G-rawl Featured By Owner Jun 27, 2011 Professional Interface Designer

uh... may be is more logical to show next/prew buttons whenever in the same folder as the public image there are other pictures? as in the standard viewer.

ForteDexe Featured By Owner Feb 9, 2011

how can I open next or previous image in imagepad, the button left arrow and right arrow not work

1ph8 Featured By Owner May 6, 2011 Hobbyist Artist

Personally, I opened all the images in the folder with it, then I could go forward and back among them.

ForteDexe Featured By Owner Feb 9, 2011

I use win7 64bit

PacMani Featured By Owner Jan 15, 2011

Which component do you use for the Office 2010 styled ribbon?

Wckdness Featured By Owner Nov 25, 2010

Amazing program! I love it so much! Your program is now my default photo program for all photo types.

Please make more Windows computer programs~!

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 26, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Thanks!

Glad you love it. I'm on to make more, keep updated.

Wckdness Featured By Owner Nov 27, 2010

Your welcome!

-Btw I was surprised by how well your program handled gif images. I didn't even think that it would handle them at all!

theking9794 Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2010 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Brilliant! I love it! I have one question though - would you mind telling me what API you used for the ribbon control? I have been using one for WPF, but would prefer one that doesn't require that i use WPF.

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

I think i've told you that before,

oh well... it's called dotnetbar, it can be use in either wpf or not.

theking9794 Featured By Owner Nov 15, 2010 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Ha, you might have for all i know. I am rather forgetful

kidkash777 Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2010 Student

I've another bug

(on Windows 7 Ultimate x64)

When I click the Home button, the window size increases. If I do it several times, the window is huge and can't fit in the screen. This bug doesn't appear when the window is maximized.

For the Aero Glass problem, I've a suggestion: the 2 DLL I can see with your app, are they 64-bit compatible? If not, ImagePad will have problem with Windows x64.

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 12, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Yeah~ that size increasing bug is really strange.

I'm making plans for it on the next release.

The component is 64-bit capable, no problem with that. I'll try to create an update to fix 64-bit aero problems. Stay tuned.

SpringsTS Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2010

Okay, thank you ^^

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 15, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Hi. Please download Imagepad 1.0.2 [link]
then see if the enable glass bug is gone.

SpringsTS Featured By Owner Nov 16, 2010

I downloaded it. Good job, the Aero bug is gone

(But there is still the increasing size bug XD)

I think ImagePad will be my default image viewer when you release it ^^

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 19, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah~ I'll get back working on it if I have time.

Please consider ignoring the bug atm.
It's a glitch on the component (dll)

SpringsTS Featured By Owner Nov 21, 2010

All right, no problem.

robotkoer Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2010

Thank you for making this again work! I dont know, why, but I cant use it as default image viewer...

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Have you tried to set it manually?
There's no button yet to set it automatically but it's possible using the "Open with..." method

I'll be adding steps on how to set it manually later.

magicfly81 Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2010

it's gonna be my default image viewer on final release.
that's a promise!!

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Glad you like it.

kichakicha Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 3, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Good to hear that.

Your welcome. Enjoy.

MAGNUMHEARTED Featured By Owner Nov 1, 2010 Professional Interface Designer

Everyone pls check out the details above. (on the description) and note me your answers so you can me help out what's causing yours to crash. I checked it on my laptop with Windows XP SP3 + .NET 3.5 installed. And so far there's no crash problems and file association seems to be working good.

MiniDoc569 Featured By Owner Nov 1, 2010 Interface Designer
