Release History

02. May 2011   viu2.0.0.955.beta.zip
The bug causing unexpected starting zoom level after switching to another picture is fixed in this release. Except that, some minor GUI errors are also corrected.
 
30. December 2010   viu2.0.0.950.beta.zip
The bug of text disappearing in some dropdown boxes is now fixed. Additionally as required, a keyboard shortcut "1" is added to the viewer mode, so that users can zoom their pictures to original sizes more conveniently.
 
19. December 2010   viu2.0.0.944.beta.zip
Some minor bugs fixed.
 
07. December 2010   viu2.0.0.935.beta.zip
This release fixed the bug in the "floating toolbar" mode that the toolbar will be shown even if the mouse are out of the Viu 2 main window.
 
07. December 2010   viu2.0.0.934.beta.rar
There are two minor changes to make the using of Viu 2 more convenient. The path and the information bar on the Viu 2 main window can be now used to move the window. This feature makes this job easier in the frameless mode. Additionally you can now double-click the blank area of the file list (under browsing mode) to get to the parent directory i.e. without rolling back to the top of the list.
