PrivateEye is a viewer for Sprites, DrawFiles, JPEGs, ArtWorks, GIFs and
PNGs. It also has editing features including bitmap effects and
rotation.

Version 3.14 is a minor update with a selection of tweaks:

* When loading new images the "Fit to screen" mode will now only ever
scale downwards. This is more helpful than the previous behaviour
which would scale small images up to needlessly enormous proportions.
Note that the "Fit screen" button on the scale view dialogue is
unaffected.
* The data transfer system has had an upgrade:
* An app-to-app transfer won't result in <Wimp$Scrap> used in title
bars now. It'll use <untitled> in title bars, and ImageFile when
saving an image with no known name. Received files are marked as
modified too. This matches the behaviour of standard RISC OS apps.
* Message_DataOpen template mode (when est_size is -2) is supported
(it's not super useful because PrivateEye's not a full editor, but
it is in there).
* libpng has been upgraded to 1.6.37.

There are also a selection of bug fixes.

PrivateEye is freeware.

It's available to install via PackMan, or directly from this download
