Converseen 0.8 has a new algorithm for generating better previews

Francesco Mondello 0

This new release of Converseen brings important improvements on picture previews. In fact, a long date problem due to Magick++ API and Qt4 has been finally solved.

Since the first version of the program, Converseen hasn’t been able to show correcly previews for some formats managed directly by Magick++ API (e.g psd, xcf) showing them with glitches, artifacts and wrong colors.

Today I’ve finally managed to rewrite the 80% of the algorithm solving the problem and improving it’s computing speed so the previews are almost instactly loaded.

Here is the difference between older versions of Converseen and the 0.8 release:

Converseen 8.0 has a new algorithm for generating previews from Magick++
Converseen 0.8 has a new algorithm for generating previews from Magick++

As you can seen, the xcf preview is correctly loaded and proportioned.
