My feedback would be to do away with the setup program. I absolutely hate downloads that are simple xcopy of binaries. It clutters the Start Menu, the registry and ARP. Ideally just generate a .vsi to install the visualizer. Otherwise provide just the compressed binary.
Followup feedback – create a VS2010 version. The existing version crashes under VS2010.
Thank you so much. It’s very useful.
Works under VS2010
This doesn’t seem to work with managed C++. In C# it works just fine. But in C++ the hourglass is not present for images. Perhaps this could be because an Image handle, (Image^), in C++ is not properly equated with an Image reference, (Image), in C#. I still love this software, but C++ users should be aware of the limitation. An inflexible work around is to pass suspect images into a C# assembly and inspect them there.
