FastPictureViewer 1.9 Build 360 (64-bit)

- Raw codecs refresh (3.5.0.82), fixes a discrepancy with TIFF files created with Nikon Capture NX software, which were misidentified.

- Stability and performance release: fixes three extremely rarely occurring crashes and optimizes timing accuracy of very fast slideshows.

- The lost shadows/highlights indicator feature, available as an option to the Zoom/Radar gadget (Z), has been enhanced and now works in full screen, through the C key, in GPU-accelerated mode.
- A program option on the Personalization page let you control the behavior of the C key, from spring-loaded Lo/Hi (press to see both lost shadows and highlights together, release to return to normal), to Sticky Lo/Hi (press and release to activate, then press and release to go back to normal), to Cycle through Lo, Hi, Normal (press and release to see lost shadows, press and release again to see lost highlights, press and release yet again to return to normal view).
- The default is spring-loaded, which requires only a single key press, under the assumption that you only need a quick glimpse at shadows/highlights. In default mode you can press Shift+C instead of just C to enter a sticky mode, which stays on until the C key is pressed again.
- You can zoom/pan, change the image, rate, preview in B&W etc while the lost shadows/highlight mode is in effect, it just works seamlessly.

- Extended the auto-advance (slideshow) speed range: now goes from 60 images per second to 1 image every 4 hours. Tiny bug fixes.

- More bug fixes: the program crashes when changing image folder while the Histogram and Room/Radar gadgets are both active AND linked.

- Tiny bug fixes: User-overlay disappears when resizing window in GPU-accelerated mode. XMP gadget very slowly leaks memory.

Bug fix release (camera SN feature in conjunction with external XMP sidecar fixed).

- Camera serial number support extended to more camera models, such as the Canon EOS-1D X.

- Raw compatibility update (raw codecs 3.5.0.78).

- Bug fix release (high-DPI bug fixes, fixed one small memory leak occurring is very specific circumstances, and other minor issues).

- The Black & White preview command (B) is now faster in GPU-accelerated mode as the color conversion now runs on the GPU.
- Added Bing Maps and Google reverse-geocoders to the IPTC Editor.
- The File Utilities Copy Action's bit-by-bit copy integrity comparison had a flaw when comparing XMP sidecars, which has been fixed.

- Fixes a cosmetic bug with the taskbar popup menu (plug-ins added to the wrong submenu) introduced in build 295.

- The Black and White preview feature (B key) has been enhanced: new visual indicator has been added
- The Save As function (Ctrl+S) now saves as B&W when saving a B&W previewed image
- The View Filters features can now filter on B&W previewed images
- A new File Utilities selection condition on the B&W preview flag has been added (so it's possible to copy/move/export B&W flagged images)
- The Convert and Export File Utilities actions now optionally honor the B&W preview flag

- A second regular expression substitution variable has been added for advanced renaming, {RegEx*}, which receives the full path as input (so it is possible to dissect the parent folder name(s) and use portions of them in the new name).

- One of the late refreshes of build 292 required either Windows 8 or the Microsoft Platform Update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and as such would not work on XP and Vista (or even on Windows 7 without the Platform Update). Build 293 removes this unintentional dependency.
