Releases: Guerra24/LRReader
Release 1.6.9
Nice... big update featuring the Tools tab for managing archives and the second half of the Sun Valley redesign. Also dropped 32 bit builds but I doubt anyone would be using those. This is the last release with support for instances <=0.7.5.
Changes
Tools
- Added Deduplicator.
Find duplicated archives by comparing thumbnails.
Highly configurable with resolution, difference deltas and aspect ratio parameters. - Added Bulk Editor.
Edit or delete large amount of archives.
To be improved down the road.
Settings
- Added Feedback page.
Responses will be used to decide certain changes in newer release, so please check it out.
Currently running one is about the location of the Tools button and instance settings menus. - Added Scroll to change page setting. #17
- Reworked settings tab.
- Moved updates into it's own page.
Reader
- Added customizable reader background.
- Fixed crash when opening reader from a non-loaded image.
- Fixed crash when reader tries to jump into a specific page and fails.
Other
- Improved Keyboard/Gamepad navigation.

- Reworked tabs design to make them work with the new background.
- Use Fluent Icons if available.
- Rounded items corners.
- Prevent tags popups from clipping outside the window.
- Fixed crash when clicking random archive and no archives where available.
- Fixed static category edit duplicating archives.
Known Issues
Yeah... I'm never going to pull off an update without breaking something. To be fixed Soon™️
- Left click doesn't work in search tabs. Workaround: Use middle click or right click -> open in new tab.
- Using mouse side buttons in reader disables keyboard input until the page is clicked.
Many thanks to
WorldTeacher and awh from LANraragi's Discord for spending time testing the deduplicator.

Release 1.6.8
July update, a maintenance update for the most part. Going out a bit early due to some crash-related bugs.
Changes
- Added visual tags editor, can be enabled in Settings -> General
Colors tags based on namespace.
Preview and add some or all tags from plugins. - Redesigned all Settings pages, follows Win11's card pattern.

Release 1.6.7
May update is finally here. Featuring the preview of Windows "Sun Valley" refresh and reworked two-page mode.
Changes
- Added new algorithm for building the read order that takes image's aspect ratio into account.
Fixes instances where two pages are first displayed as one image and then as two separated ones causing the order to shift.
Can be toggled in Settings -> Reader, by default enabled.
Only available when two pages mode is enabled.
Recommended for LAN/localhost connections as it pulls all pages at once. - Now in two pages mode lower resolution images scale to the size of the largest.
- Reworked reader animations.
- Replaced pager in archive list.
- Tweaked tags list colors.
- Now Animations use the system-wide enable/disable toggle.
- Increased in-memory caching limits for thumbnails and pages.
- Fixed progress mismatch when two pages or right-to-left was used.
- Fixed crashes caused by lost connection with the instance.
- Fixed reader's zoom going out of bounds when using ctrl + scroll.
- Reduced space between both images in two pages mode.
- Fixed reader animations not working sometimes due to bad timings. Mostly caused by very small/large images.
- Fixed over sharpen/blurry images in reader. Also caused by very large images.
I hope this release goes out more smoothly, I did test everything but there is always some edge-case that might cause issues.
On the other hand the next release is going to feature a reworked search bar and improved archive editing 👀.
Extra
Release 1.6.5
Hotfix cause I can't pull off an update without bugs. What happened to 1.6.4? Long story short I had to bump store release to 1.6.4 because reasons...
Changes
- Properly fix copy command into clipboard. Caused by using an API that was not available in 1809 and 1903.
- Restore full screen tab bar animation that accidentally got removed.
Extra
Release 1.6.3
Maintenance update also new icon! Just to give a more fluent-ish look to match the new Windows icons, will probably revisit later.
Btw I'm not a graphics designer, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Changes
- Now archives can be deleted from context menu or archive tab. (v0.7.8+ only).
- Added in-memory and file thumbnail caching. The very first versions had the same feature but now it's properly implemented and should work way better.
Can be cleared from Settings -> General.
Auto-remove files older than 14 days. - Made splash screen optional. The first, not the one with the loading icon.
- Bookmarks tab now auto-refresh when changing tab.
- Version specific features now should be properly hidden.

- Now
http://is automatically added when it doesn't hashttp://orhttps://in the address. - Fix crash while editing archive with null tags.
- Fix crash caused by copying command into clipboard
(I have no idea what is going on here). Appears to be caused by older Windows versions and only on store.Properly fixed in next release. - Fix crash caused by disabled or broken Windows Update service (store only).

Changes
