PicView 3.1.0 changelog:
What's New
- Added a new tab in the Settings window to associate PicView with supported files (#157).
- Introduced new options to enable or disable confirmation dialogs when moving files to the recycle bin or permanently deleting them (#195).
- Added a new menu in the Settings window that allows you to open the keybindings file, access the user settings file, or reset settings to their default values.
Improvements
- PicView now loads large images progressively, drastically reducing visual loading times for very large files.
- Added navigation arrows for backward and forward movement in the tab history within the Settings window.
Bug Fixes
- When maximized, PicView now displays a restore icon instead of a fullscren icon; clicking it restores the window rather than switching to fullscreen.

- The scrollbar is now correctly positioned at the right edge in both maximized and fullscreen states.
- The bottom gallery is now properly sized when scrolling is enabled.
- Restored the print functionality (#194).
- PicView now correctly adds or removes gallery thumbnails when toggling the search of subdirectories on or off.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when toggling subdirectory searches on or off when no image was loaded or navigation was unavailable (#196).
- When viewing the image gallery, PicView now correctly displays the appropriate translation and function for closing the gallery, depending on whether it is fully opened or in bottom mode.
- Corrected the behavior of the Esc button, ensuring it now properly closes external windows and exits the Slideshow mode when enabled.
- Fixed an issue where the update function always downloaded the latest version; it will now indicate when no new version is available.
- Fixed tool windows exceeding the screen size on smaller resolutions.
