Default Bitbank Softare Upgrades Pocket QuickView to Version 4.0

"Pocket QuickView is a powerful and versatile application for working with digital images. PQV's code has been optimized to make viewing images on your phone quick and easy; PQV is currently the fastest software available for viewing photos on your Windows Mobile device. PQV is very good at handling large color and bilevel images such as JPEG, TIFF, CAL and MOD:CA files."



With the new version of PQV, Larry Bank has ensured compatibility with all Pocket PC and SmartPhone devices from Windows Mobile 2003 forward. Other improvements include:
� More than twice as fast as the previous version
� Streamlined user interface works the same on & Pocket PC
� Enhanced view of EXIF camera data
� Licensed per user - use on as many devices as you own; a single purchase can be used on SmartPhones, Pocket PCs and Desktop PCs

Owners of multiple devices will certainly find the last improvement a real budget saver. Snag a 30-day trial version or purchase at our affiliate store.

UPDATE: Larry would like to hear from Windows Mobile 6 TOUCHSCREEN devices. Post in the thread or e-mail Larry.

Looks good on paper -- but it crashes my Eten M700 WM6 device when I try to open a JPEG.

It appears that it's having trouble with WM6 touchscreen devices. I don't have one for testing, but on WM6 standard (smartphone) it works fine. Can anyone with multiple devices confirm that it works on older devices?

Thanks,
Larry B.

I'll try it on the HTC 7501 with WM6 and also see if there are any issues with a square screen Treo 700w running WM5. I wish I had brought my Axim X50v with me today to test it on WM2003SE.

Is there a WM6 version of Galaxian and Galaga?

Update:
It installed easily and opened .jpeg, .gif and .png fines easily on the HTC. Slideshow transitions were really jerky though. Setting the Options> Preferences> Slideshow Transitions Effect box to none cleared that up.

I did have a problem starting a show after a soft reset. The program started fine but when I clicked for a slideshow the program closed. This happened a couple of times but once I actually selected a file before starting the slieshow it worked well.

There could be a issue with affecting my devices brightness control. Since installing PQV the screen seems to be in permanent powersave mode when on battery powere. On external powere the brightness level is on maximum and the sliderbar changes the intensity no problem but on battery power the sliderbar has no effect at all. I'll uninstall PQV and see if this really is the culprit. More soon.

See namco's ports ( http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?threadid=6960 ) coded by no other than Larry. I also recommend Hitech's Arcade Park (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...;tb=1&pb=1 ).

Default Good news and bad news

The good news is uninstalling PQV did not fix my on battery brightness issue so I don't think PQV caused that issue.

The bad news is while I had it installed I couldn't get the crop function or Zoom Window to work.

More bad news. After a hard reset and reinstallation I can no longer open files but I can still run slideshows. Good news? It definitely wasn't PQV that caused my brightness slider issue.
