RELEASE NOTES

Distributed are two versions of dUstloop, for Linux and Windows systems. Please find the one appropriate for your system and install and associate it within your file explorer as necessary.

Additionally, the source code for dUstloop is distributed, as well as a makefile that includes a `make install` command, should you want to build it yourself or have a system that isn't Windows x86 or Linux x86-64.

dUstloop uses SDL2, so compiling it yourself on a Linux system should save some space.

Addendum

If you have any features you would like to see, please create a discussion below. I will be adding features that I find agreeable either on my own or from discourse below. This is a tool I use as a well, so I have a vested interest in its development.

*Information on the invidiual sort

How this works: you want to open directories X, Y, and Z; you tell it to do an "individual" or "by-directory" sort by date. 

The program starts with the first directory given (X) and sorts it by date. This becomes the image pool. Then it sorts the next directory (Y) by date and appends it to the image pool: so far, you have all the images in X sorted by date, then all the images in Y sorted by date for viewing. It does the same with the next directories (in this case, only Z) and then allows you to browse the image pool. 

So: [All of X, in order of date] -> [All of Y, in order of date] -> [All of Z, in order of date]  

The use for this feature was in reading downloaded manga, by chapter, but each chapter had the images named the same (1.png, 2.png, etc). This enabled me to view each page of each chapter in order (1.png, 2.png...) and each chapter in order (Ch. 1, Ch. 2, etc.). 

I hope you will find this feature equally useful.
