v1.12 (stable alpha)

Expect more breaking changes before ImagePut v2. This release is stable.

v1.11 (alpha)

This is a pre-release to ImagePut v2. It is the last "stable" release without any breaking changes.

Any copies of ImagePut downloaded from the repository from this release onwards will contain minor breaking changes.

v1.10

32-bit stability fixes, ImageSearchAll(), PixelSearchAll()

ImagePutBuffer Changes

• PixelSearchAll and ImageSearchAll can now return multiple matches
• PixelSearch supports searching for a color with 3 variations (red, blue, green)
• Transcolor() and Colorkey() now select the top-left pixel by default
• Add Clone() to create a duplicate bitmap
• [v1] Fix crop method
• Save() now works even if the image width and height is updated

Other Changes

• ImagePut is now stable on AutoHotkey 32-bit versions!
  • Fixed GIF rendering
  • Fixed thrown errors with "cdecl"
• [v2] You can now drag and drop multiple images onto ImagePut.ahk to show them without closing previous windows.
• Dragging one animated GIF no longer pauses other animated GIFs

Note: AutoHotkey v1 ANSI is still supported, although unicode characters will appear garbled.

v1.9

New features:

• ImagePutSafeArray() - Stores the image into a safe array
• ImagePutExplorer() - Copies an image into the last active windows explorer folder

Improvements:

• Major improvements to ImageSearch including the ability to ignore transparency in the search image
• PixelSearch now has variation, and can search ARGB ranges (for each individual red bluegreen alpha channel)
• (v2) Buffers can now be enumerated over with a for loop as in for x, y, color in ImagePutBuffer(0)
• Buffers can save() a raw bitmap
• Monitor numbers 0, 1, 2, 3... now have a higher priority over other image types

Possible Breaking Change

• Filenames now have priority over window titles. This means that if there is a file named "photo.png" and a window title with the name "photo.png" the file will be used. This resolves possible unintuitive behavior where if a file open is in a photo editor, a screenshot of the photo editor would take priority over the actual file.

v1.8.1

Bugfixes for Animated GIFs

• Gifs were animating 10-20% slower than they should have
• Sometimes animated GIFs were not deleted causing a memory leak
• GDI+ was not loaded for the full duration of the animated GIF

Drag and drop functionality

• Dropping images onto ImagePut.ahk now opens the corresponding images

New (and cuter) demo.ahk in GitHub folder!
Better Sample.ahk included.

v1.8

Animate GIFs

• GIFs are now animated by ImageShow and ImagePutWindow
• ImagePutURI produces base64 data with a MIME type
• ImageDestroy supports releasing WIC bitmaps

Improvements

• 10x speed set_hex
• Partial arrays allowed in ImagePutScreenshot(img, [0,0])
• Patched small memory leak with mime type detection
• (v2) Closing one window no longer closes all windows

ImagePutBuffer

• Add ImageSearch, Colorkey, SetAlpha, Transcolor
• Ability to crop and return a new buffer
• show() → ImageShow; show(1) → ImagePutWindow

• Add ImageWidth() and ImageHeight().
• Implement PixelSearch for ImagePutBuffer.
• Extend ImagePutBuffer with width and height properties.

v1.6

DPI-awareness and multi-monitor support.

• Screen capture is now DPI aware.
• Window capture can now capture windows in different DPI contexts.

• wallpaper now captures all wallpapers to the right of the primary screen.
• ImageShow/ImagePutWindow no longer scale their contents to in different DPI contexts.
• ImageShow/ImagePutWindow will always center the window regardless of screen DPI.

Bugfixes

• Accepts Device Context hdc inputs with device independent bitmaps selected.
• hBitmaps that are selected onto a device context can now be copied.

Minor Adjustments

• Cropping to zero width or height correctly returns the original image.
• Fixes incorrect window width and height created by ImageShow().
• Small windows created by ImageShow() were unable to be closed via right click.
• The filepath parameter of ImagePutFile() now accepts forward slashes.
• Cropping no longer occurs when coordinates are identical to the source image.
• Decreased minimum string lengths for auto detection of base64 and hex data.
• Hex string lengths are checked for a divisibility of 2.

v1.5.1

Fixed Image Scaling on AutoHotkey v1 scripts.

v1.5

Add ImageShow()

• ImageShow will display an image without a titlebar.
• Add new Windows 10 cursors IDC_PIN, IDC_PERSON, and IDC_HANDWRITING.
