New Features of Image Archivist

During my Christmas holiday (which ended today :( ) I’ve finished the necessary features of Image Archivist to be able to release the beta version for my hubby to test :) Note: Some of the below are done before my holiday, I also relaxed during the holiday :D

New features in version 0.6:

  • Suggesting existing tags when adding new one to image

  • Searching images with no category or no tags

  • Options in Menu

    • User can set whether they want to see amounts for tags or only tags.

  • User can go through images with arrow buttons or keys when they have Image View open

  • Saving image data right away instead of pressing Save button

    • Data is saved to memory right away. User still needs to choose Save from menu to save data to disk. If changes are made and user is closing the session, Image Archivist will ask if user wants to save the changes.

  • Refreshing images from file while using Image Archivist

    • Background poll to check for new or removed images every minute

  • Error Dialog

    • When Image Archivist throws an unhandled exception, the user can send error report if they want to.

  • Logging

    • Added logging possibility using log4net. I followed this tutorial which was extremely clear: https://blog.scalyr.com/2017/12/get-started-quickly-c-logging/

    • Sending the log file as attachment when user reports error.

  • Some other minor fixes/changes
