Executable Release v1.01

• New:

  • Batch Mode: Allows input/output entries to accept folder paths.
    • Processes all supported images in subfolders while maintaining folder structure.
  • Before and After preview images are now displayed. (When not in Batch mode)
    • The Before image also works as a drop target to set the input image path.
  • Right-click on the palette in the UI to quickly save the palette image with Save As....
  • Additional palettes can be used by placing .PNG files in a Palettes folder in the app's parent directory.
    • Supports up to 256 colors per palette.
  • Sharpen Setting: Enhances image sharpness to improve pixel contrast and color.
    • Sharpen value range: From -100, to 100.
  • You can now choose between two color transfer modes: Normal and Blend.
    • Normal mode assigns each pixel to the nearest color in the palette. (Previous behavior)
    • Blend mode blends the two nearest colors based on their distance.
  • Added Open buttons to each input entry to quickly open the selected directory.

• Fixed:

  • Fixed error when processing non-RGB format images. Alpha channels are now preserved.
  • Fixed issue where color palettes included colors not present in the input image.
  • Unsupported file types can no longer be drag-and-dropped into input fields.

• Other changes:

  • Image processing is ~70% faster (Kmeans/Normal) due to improved pixel-color handling.
  • Setting Image Downscale to 0, or 1, now disables downscaling.
  • Palette images are now saved as 1x1 grids, expanding in width.
  • Palettes contain only unique colors, sorted by brightness.
    • Unfortunately, it's not easy to prevent very similar colors from being included.
  • Maximum number of colors changed from 999 to 256.
  • Supported image file types now include: .jfif, .tiff, .tif, and .ico.
  • All spinboxes can be adjusted with the mouse-wheel.
  • Tooltips now mostly appear when hovering the mouse over label text and not input widgets, reducing their annoyance.
  • Numerous small tweaks, fixes, and improvements in both logic and UI.
    • The app has been internally restructured and organized.
