All this is very good news. I really wish this were available some months ago: it would have helped me immensely. The old C API was clunky at best.
I really like the idea and looking forward to using it (even if at the moment I do not have the need to) ... |

24 Jun 2020, Stefan Ritt, Info, New image history system available
|
I'm happy to report that the Corona Lockdown in Europe also had some positive side
