1.3.46

I wanted to make a special thanks to qbnu for the new formats, along with optimizations and improvements to existing formats!

(Minor version incremented to reflect the many changes between this and the previous release. It's tempting to keep "waiting for the next feature to be done" before releasing...)

  PR Add libraw #211, thanks qbnu
• Add basic support for PSD (Adobe Photoshop Document)
  • Color modes supported: Grayscale, RGB, CMYK, Multichannel, Duotone, Lab

  • Compression modes supported: Raw/Uncompressed, RLE
    (See PR for detailed supported/unsupported breakdown)

• Add support for reading EXIF data from JXL, HEIF, AVIF, WebP and PNG files
  PR JXL/HEIF/AVIF/WebP/PNG Exif data support #213, thanks qbnu

  • Altitudes below sea level will now show negative
  • Metadata will be shown for either RAW or JPEG, with RAW taking precedence
    PR Add libraw #211, thanks qbnu
• RAW metadata's acquisition date shown in window title

• New INI file setting: WindowAlwaysOnTopOnStartup

Bugs fixed:

• Adjust animation frame times to appear closer to their actual values
  Accounts for time spent processing frame. (Minimum frame time is 10ms due to technical limitations)
  PR Make animation frametimes appear closer to their actual values #205, thanks qbnu
  Changed behavior:
• INI Option: UseEmbeddedColorProfiles=true can be used without losing Animated PNG support
  ICC profiles are not supported for Animated PNG

To make this a "go-to" viewer, I would highly suggest to add the minimum common function of adding a pen tool so someone can add simple drawing on an image, so one can "highlight" an area of an image by drawing an arrow/circle. This is a very common need, not to be confused with more advanced photo editing.
