+
+In 2.0.2 (we just noticed that we are now the half of not found :)
+a new feature was introduced which is very useful for us
+and we think it may be useful for those of you who also work in the computer vision field.
+We are now able to load the .vec file of the OpenCV Cascade Classifier.
+So you can easily control if the patches you trained,
+or the patches [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/) created automatically are correct.
+Of course we have not added the .vec extension to the default settings of nomacs, because there exists a lot of other vec files.
+Thus, you have to add the extension to nomacs manually.
+You can do this by opening the “File” -> “Add Image Format”  dialog.
+Then you can drag&drop your file into the dialog or use the browse to the file.
+
+![add-formats](add-formats.png)
+
+After clicking add you have to name the new file format.
+After that you can open your .vec files with nomacs.
+
+<img alt="img-2014-07-31 09.22.22" src="img-2014-07-31-09.22.22.png" width="100%">
+
+Due to some limitations of the fileformat nomacs assumes that the patches are square
+and thus if you open a file containing non-square nomacs is unable to load it.
+If you want to use non-square patches you have to specify the size in the file name.
+You can do this by adding “-w\[width\]-h\[height\]”.
+So for example you have to name your file “samples-w35-h25.vec”.
+Have fun with this feature and may it simplify your training step

+
+Since the last release we are getting more and more requests if we can support different file formats.
+Apparently it turned out, that we already support most of them but we have not added the file extension to our file filter.
+This is especially true for RAW formats of image files,
+we just simple don’t know all extensions of all manufacturers and we don’t have sample images from all of them for testing.
+
+But there is a simple solution: you can easily try to add new files formats to nomacs.
+You just have to use File -> Add Image Format
+– this opens a dialog where you can drop (or load) your images and nomacs will tell you if the file extension is supported.
+If it is supported it will display the image.
+After adding the file format you can use our File Filter settings in the preferences dialog
+to set nomacs as default viewer for these images.
+If you have successfully added a new file format,
+please drop us a note in our bug tracker and we will add the extension to nomacs.
+If nomacs is unable to load you file format, please add a new feature request.
+If possible attach also the image to the request so we can test it easily.
+
+Open the “Add Image Format” Dialog
+
+<img alt="Open the “Add Image Format” Dialog" src="add-file-format.png" width="100%"/>
+
+and drop or load your image

+
+nomacs supports batch processing since version 2.4.
+You can open the bach processing from the Menu > Tools > Batch Processing.
+Currently there are four different processing modes (Copy/Rename \| Image Format Conversion \| Image Resize \| Transforming).
+
+First you can choose the directory and select the files you want to process.
+File selection is similar to the thumbnail preview
+(select multiple files using CTRL, hold SHIFT to select files consecutively or hit CTRL+A to select all files of a folder).
+You can additionally filter a subset using search terms or regular expressions
+(in the example below all files are chosen which start with a lower case character).
+After selecting the files to be processed you can click the *Icon Add Files to the File List*.
+If you open the *File List* Tab, you can also drop multiple folders to select their files for processing.
+Having selected the files to be processed, you can choose an output directory.
+The output panel allows you to choose the old filename or rename all processed files.
+The screenshot shows a file conversion where 87 files are converted to png.
+<img src="batch-processing-005-annotated1.png" alt="batch-processing-005-annotated1" width="100%"/>
+
+## Copy/Rename
+
+The Output panel allows you to choose an output directory and rename/convert files.
+You can choose a custom filename.
+Do not forget to add a sequence number such that the filenames are still unique.
+The filename preview picks a selected image and shows the old and the new filename accordingly.
+If input and output directory are the same, images will be renamed in place.
+Otherwise the images are copied and renamed. This action will not change the image encoding.
+
+<figure>
+  <img alt="the output panel" src="batch-rename.png" width="100%"/>
+  <figcaption><em>the output panel</em></figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+## Image Conversion
+
+If you want to convert images to a specific output format (e.g. PNG) you can change the *Keep Extension* drop down to *Convert To*.
+Then select your preferred format.
+You can choose any format which is supported by nomacs.
+<figure>
+  <img alt="batch convert images" src="batch-convert.png" width="100%"/>
+  <figcaption><em>batch convert images</em></figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+## Resize/Transform
+
+Click the + next to *Resize/Transform* to apply an image transform.
+If you e.g. want to downsample all images of a folder, you can choose *Long Side* in the resize panel.
+Then enter the desired side length in pixel.
+This option will resize the image such that the width of panorama images
+or the height of portrait images will be set to the desired pixel length.
+If you check *Shrink Only* images which have a lower long side than the desired length will not be resized.
+<figure>
+  <img alt="batch resize" src="batch-processing-009.png" width="100%"/>
+  <figcaption><em>batch resize</em></figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+The *Transform* panel allows you to rotate or flip all images.
+The gray text next to the panel title indicates if a panel is active or not.
+The example below shows a configuration which resizes all images by 50% and then rotates them by 180°.
+<figure>
+  <img alt="batch transform" src="batch-processing-012.png" width="100%"/>
+  <figcaption><em>batch transform</em></figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+## Processing
+
+After you configured the batch processing according to your needs you can hit OK.
+A progress bar will appear which indicates the percentage of images already processed.
+If you notice a wrong configuration, you can cancel the processing.
+All images processed will stay the same then but the processing is stopped immediately.
+<figure>
+  <img alt="processing images" src="batch-processing-003.png" width="100%"/>
+  <figcaption><em>processing images</em></figcaption>

+
+All processing actions are logged.
+Choose *Show Log* to see the status of the processing.
+You can see the status of every batch module and check if it was processed successfully.
+Please check the batch configuration before Processing especially
+if you check *Overwrite Existing* files since these actions cannot be reverted.

+If the panel is in Horizontal Layout (Top or Bottom) you can choose the number of columns.
+If the data does not fit to the current window size, a scroll bar will appear.
+
+But the most important improvement is the key selection.
+Up to now you were only able to select pre-defined exif keys.
+Since exif values are pretty dynamic, you can now choose an image which has special entries.
+If you click Change Entries, this dialog will appear:
+<img alt="key selection" src="metadata-0002.png" width="100%"/>

+
+in nomacs 3.10.2 we have added a better multi user support because of your feedback.
+
+Basically you can now create default settings that are applied to all user settings after the first start-up.
+Therefore, you have to export your desired defaults by `Edit > Settings > General > Export Settings` and name them `default.ini`.
+If you now replace the default.ini in the nomacs install directory,
+these settings will be applied if a new user starts nomacs for the first time.
+
+– the nomacs team
+
+HINT: the check for updates option is an issue for some large companies. Creating a default.ini with this content:
+
+```ini
+[SynchronizeSettings]
+checkForUpdates=false
+disableUpdateInteraction=true
+```
+
+will disable checking for updates. Additionally, users won’t be able to manually check for updates anymore.

+the new 2.4.0 release is a milestone in our development.
+First, it will be the last feature release which mainly supports Qt 4 (again the numbers align perfectly: 2.4).
+Second, it is probably the hugest feature release ever.
+The most important features include tabs, an all-in-wonder batch processing, and an improved thumbnail preview.
+Good news for all Windows XP and Vista users (who should definitely update their system : ),
+we compiled [nomacs](https://sourceforge.net/projects/nomacs/files/nomacs-2.4.0/nomacs-setup-2.4.0-WinXP-x86.exe/download)
+a last time for these systems.
+Here is the full changelog:
+
+- Batch processing (you can try it by clicking Tools > Batch Processing)
+- Image tabs (open multiple images within different tabs)
+- Thumbnail preview improved (copy/paste delete/rename is now supported)
+- Zoom panel improved (you can now chose a specific zoom level)
+- Olympus RAW added
+- Convert to grayscale added (thanks to [shreelock](https://github.com/shreelock))
+- Faster directory loading (especially if you have many images in a folder)
+- Gesture improvements
+- Saving of images from archives (e.g. zip, docx) is now supported
+- File sorting improved (Unix-based systems only)
+- Stability improvements

+- New Metadata HUD panel (you can dynamically choose entries)

+
+the most important fixes are:

+
+\[EDIT\] thanks to R3gi we have noticed that nomacs 2.4.4 has slow loading times on Windows 7.
+That is why we updated only these versions to nomacs 2.4.5.

+after one year of development, nomacs has become something that we call stable.
+so we released nomacs 0.4.0 Release Candidate today.
+For now it’s just windows – nomacs will be released in the next few days for all Operating Systems supported.
+
+new features include:
+
+- Caching images – results in very short loading time
+- Thumb run-through – fast folder preview
+- Save widget state – widgets remember if they were displayed the last time
+- Additional supported formats – \*.mrw (Minolta Raw) and \*.rw2 (Panasonic Raw)
+- Improved  RAW display – colors are now more intensive
+- Go To – you can jump to whatever file you like using the new Go To dialog (CTRL+G)
+- Unattended installation parameters – improves batch installation for Windows
+
+and as usual we have fixed some bugs:
+
+- RAW images for Linux – nomacs did not load raw images with libraw > 0.14.0
+- Save dialog – is now a native OS dialog -> speed up
+- \*.bmp save – error message removed
+- Transparency & edit – handling of transparent images (e.g. crop) is corrected
+- … and a bunch of small fixes
+
+Please note that the cacher is deactivated by default.
+We did so to save RAM for those who use nomacs in order to display every-day-images.
+Give it a try by changing the preferences: Settings > Resources > Cache Settings
+

+nomacs 3 will be released with a brand new & shiny installer.
+Therefore and for [other](https://blog.l0cal.com/2015/06/02/what-happened-to-sourceforge/) reasons we will leave sourceforge.
+To guarantee fast downloads, we will rent a webspace which costs around 50€ (~56.085$).
+Now we face two options:
+
+1. Google AdSense which adds ads to this webpage resulting in an ugly page
+1. You donate
+
+If you donate 50€ until the end of 2015, this page keeps its simple white UI and no ads are added until the end of 2016.
+There are three ways how to keep an ad-free interface:
+
+1. a rich contributor donates 50€
+1. every 100th download 2€ are donated
+1. every 100th visitor donates 50 cents
+
+be part of it:
+
+thank you
+
+ — the nomacs team
+
+\[UPDATE\]: we have reached our goal of 50€ – thanks to all donators!
+As promised, nomacs.org will remain free from ads and nomacs 3.0 will be hosted on a new server which drastically improves the update process.
+
+Of course we will still appreciate any donations (we are far from being a big corp : )

+
+With the synchronization it is possible that multiple viewers perform the same action (like panning, zooming, etc.).
+This feature is useful when comparing two images.
+
+## Synchronization on the same computer
+
+For synchronization on the same computer at least two instances of nomacs have to run.
+Via the “Sync”-Menu it is possible to connect to all viewers
+or a specific viewer can be chosen by selecting the image title of this viewer.
+Additionally it is possible to connect two viewers by keeping the CTRL and ALT key pressed
+and drag from the image of one viewer to the other.
+For actions which should be performed on all connected instances the ALT key has to be kept pressed
+(e.g. hold the ALT key pressed and use the mouse wheel for zooming on all connected viewers).
+
+Possible actions which can be performed:
+
+- Panning ALT+mouse
+- Zooming ALT+mouse
+- load next/previous File (ALT+right resp. ALT+left)
+- synchronize zoom level and position in the image with CTRL+D
+- overlay the two images and change the opacity of one image with CTRL+TAB
+- arrange synchronized viewers with CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
+
+## Synchronization in the local network (LAN)
+
+First you have to enable “network sync” in the network preferences of nomacs on all computers you want to use.
+To synchronize viewers via the local network one nomacs has to start the server using the menu.
+The viewer on the other computer can then connect to the server.
+Additional to the actions on the same computer (see above) images can also be sent over the network by pressing ALT+I
+(or using the menu:  Sync -> Send Image).
+
+In the settings dialog actions can be forbidden for all clients (see Settings-Network).
+So you can forbid a client e.g. to zoom into your image and/or to send you new images.
+
+Note: If a server connects to another server in the network,
+all clients of this server disconnect and establish a new connection to the target server.
+Also the server of the current viewer is stopped.

+nomacs can turn your photo spheres into Tiny Planets.
+Therefore, you first need to capture a photo sphere.
+Here is how you do this in your camera app on Android:
+
+<img src="photo-sphere.png" alt="photo-sphere" width="100%"/>
+
+In nomacs you can choose Edit > Tiny Planet to turn your favorite photo sphere into a tiny planet.

+we have create launchpad repositories for Ubuntu.
+This will make it easier to install nomacs for Ubuntu and to keep it up-to-date.
+To install nomacs using this repository you have to add “ppa:nomacs/stable” to your list.
+You can do this by typing
+
+```sh
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nomacs/stable
+```
+
+in a console.
+After updating the repositories you should be able to install nomacs using your favorite package manager
+
+You have also the possibility to install the daily builds of nomacs by adding “ppa:nomacs/daily” but these builds are considered as experimental.
+
+Have fun!

+if an image needs to be compressed, webP shows a far better image quality while decreasing the file size.
+note that the jpg compressed image (right) has 16.6 KB while the webP image only needs 6.8 KB.
+another advantage is the fact that webP features a full (8bit) alpha channel and supports lossless compression…
