Changes: * New upstream release. - Defog: improved algorithm, new controls to add brightness, reduce blue. - Thumbnail popup image: zoom in/out via mouse wheel, +/- keys, arrow keys. - Manage Tags: categories having no tags can now be deleted. - Gallery metadata view: extra [user custom] indexed metadata items are now displayed following the standard items. - Gallery Screen: option added to select only files than have been edited. - Copy From Image: source and destination sync points both default to (0,0).

Changes:
* New upstream release.
– Slide Show: new transition type: flip-tiles.
– Keyboard numeric pad can be used for gallery navigation (also with num-lock).
– New: Download Maps: download geographic map files for use with Fotoxx (fotoxx-maps package is now obsolete for fotoxx-22.30 and later).
– Increase gesettings timeout to avoid bogus “not responding” from Mutter.
– UI improvement: mouse-click with tiny motion is not mistaken as drag.
– The program addr2line (package binutils) must be installed for Fotoxx. Previoulsy it was included in the appimage container, but this no longer works over multiple flavors and releases of Linux.

New version available -> fotoxx 22.20-1~xtradeb1
Changes:
* New upstream release.
* New: Batch > Convert Adobe: convert an Adobe document file (.pdf .ps .eps) into a set of jpeg files, 1 file per page. This uses ghostscript.
* Warp > Stretch: Add or remove barrel or pincushion distortion. This can fix RAW file lens distortion when lens parameters are missing or ineffective.
* Gallery Sort: new: sort by metadata from the Search function metadata report (e.g. sort results by camera + ISO + exposure time).
* The function to add an overlay image (for credit, copyright …) to selected host images was moved from Batch Convert to a new function, Batch Overlay.
The overlay image can also be placed anywhere on the host images.
* Image captions can now be sourced from any metadata items.
* The utility to map camera pixel bias and compensate image files was removed.
It was too difficult to use and not very effective (for the cameras tested).
New version available -> fotoxx 22.15-1~xtradeb1
Changes:/Pictures/…
* New upstream release.
* Windows WSL: speedup code was removed. Fotoxx under WSL is fast enough for image files in the Linux file system, e.g. /home/
* Windows WSL: use higher tolerance for file mod-time difference detection.
* New: Rename Folder: rename the current folder (image gallery).
* Album Create: better UI direction when creating an initially empty album.
* New: Batch Copy/Move: copy or move selected image files to a new folder.

* Developer menu: New: toggle display of popup text for mouse events.
* Preferences: image justification in window can be left/center/right.
* “Select Hairy” was incorporated into the main Select Area function.
This is now easier to use, but still a significant learning curve.
* New: Tools > Popup Text: popup special text/characters to use in edits.
* Bugfix: Remove Halo: ‘undo’ drag: crash if pixel RGB is 0/0/0.
* Bugfix: Crop: drag crop edge over window edge: drag fails to release.
* Bugfix: Select > Edge Blend: zero contrast area creates ‘nan’ RGB values.
