Any Release coming soon? about jpegview

@sylikc Hey, a bit out of topic but I just want to say thanks for porting the code over to GitHub. I'm not particularly familiar with C++ or any programming language for that matter, but I hope a sympathetic programmer will pick it up and try to work with you on what the original developer left us with.

Needless to say, the current official build is excellent. Never once have I encountered any errors or flaws with the features. Heck, I could forever use this 2018 release as-is until another FOSS image viewer program can compare to its greatness.

@neoOpus I actually don't have much expertise on this particular project. I've not done any low level hardware support. The original author appears to have abandoned the project and I've ported it over.

I plan to at least recompile this in the latest VS 2019, but beyond that, I was planning only to implement superficial things, like options/INI and GUI changes.

I'm hoping someone else can take it and do some PRs and such. I love this viewer, but certainly need quite a learning curve to actually code some useful stuff with it

Looks like I ended up having a build error in VS 2019 Community. I don't have time to resolve it at the moment, might be a few weeks before I can get back to this. If you can get it compiling in VS 2019 let me know.

General Release Plan

The plan is, when I get it compiling to the point I can make a release ... I will look at the original JPEGView Ticket system and merge / look at what issues people are having:

• SF JPEGView - Support Requests
• SF JPEGView - Feature Requests
• SF JPEGView - Discussion
• SF JPEGView - Bugs
• SF JPEGView - Patches

Then I'll decide what I'm capable of implementing...

@nicamoq :) Let's hope someone with more knowledge does come around to pick it up. I went and looked at the cool things it did today and I'm certainly not up to par as a low-level C++ programmer right now.

@neoOpus the first release is out. All I did was get it to recompile with VS 2019 and update the Turbo JPEG and WEBP libraries. I've tested it and will now be using it day to day to make sure I didn't break anything.

Anyways, I opened a discussion on that release: #2

[neoOpus]

Sounds great thanks for the update, I will be testing this now and I will let you know if there is any major issue.

Norton Antivirus deletes all executable files and flag this as bad reputation, even if VirusTotal show it as clean... I think there is something with the compiler you used that make it trigger antivirus (even if it is false flag)

I believe Norton flags executables for signatures it hasn't seen a lot of yet. I didn't do anything special aside from using VS 2019 CE to compile the executables. My Symantec AV doesn't flag it. Anyone else getting a false positive?
