the Computational Science and Enigneering at Vienna UT (including nomacs) has been accepted for Google Summer of Code 2013. So if you are interested in improving nomacs, this is the only chance to earn money at the same time. If you want to apply for the nomacs project @ GSoC2013 you should subscribe to our mailing list (soc2013@iue.tuwien.ac.at).

Do you have any questions concerning the ideas or the puzzle? Please do not hesitate to contact us via this mailing list (or IRC #TU_CSE_SoC @ irc.freenode.net).

about 40 years _{and 2 days} after Martin Cooper (@MartyMobile) did the first mobile telephone call, the first bugfix-only nomacs is released. the bugfixes include:

• Support for DNG format
• Zoom/Pan is faster for Mac OS
• EXIF data can be read for UTF-8 files (Windows only)
• Open With starts custom executables again
• Drag&Drop works directly after installing (no administrator privilegs)
• dpi is now saved when changing it in the resize dialog
• resize dialog does not crash for 40k x 30k images
• translations updated & serbian translation added

NOTE:

for the automatic update routine will download the wrong version for Windows XP (this is already fixed in the 1.0.2 version – so it is the last time you need to manually install nomacs : )

… in our office. today we have realized, that we have forgotten to add a nomacs around the world image of our office — the place where we started creating nomacs. so here it is…

we are again applying for Google Summer of Code together with the Computational Science and Engineering at Vienna UT. If you are a student and want to earn money while supporting nomacs, you can check out our Ideas Page.

according to a feature request from dadatamada we took a closer look to the webP format. the screenshot shows a nightly build of nomacs with webP load/save functionality. if an image needs to be compressed, webP shows a far better image quality while decreasing the file size. note that the jpg compressed image (right) has 16.6 KB while the webP image only needs 6.8 KB. another advantage is the fact that webP features a full (8bit) alpha channel and supports lossless compression…

after one and a half year of development we now release the first (stable) nomacs 1. as usual, the windows binaries are already released this time either 32-bit or 64-bit (for those who view really huge images). Linux, Mac and OS/2 will follow soon.

new features include:

• auto update
• image manipulation tools
• beautiful print preview
• find & filter files
• animated gifs (in the 21st century)
• customizable GUI (colorize icons etc.)
• advanced preferences dialog
• window transparency features (frameless & locking = watermark for screenvideos)
• set as wallpaper (windows)
• anti aliasing (smooth image rendering)
• improved de-mosaicing for RAW images
• batch compute thumbnails
• new translations: Spanish, Polish, Slovak and Azerbaijani (thanks to all translators)

today, we have released a 64-bit (beta) version for Windows. So those people that deal with large images could give it a try.

We have just released a small CPU monitoring software on sourceforge. Currently it is only available for Windows OS (sorry).
