Ever since I got my trusty old Nokia N71, I hated its stupidly-designed gallery program. Luckily, Resco’s excellent viewer program was available - the TamsS60 review can be found here.

Jan Slodicka has now informed me of a major update to the program, adding a huge variety of features. Due to our excellent relationship to Resco, the TamsS60 team proudly presents the full change log below:

Slideshow
a.. Can play background music (Slideshow Options)
b.. The music volume:
a) can be set in slideshow settings,
b) can be changed with dedicated volume keys
c.. Store your own slideshows for later use

GPS tools(Concerns images created with GPS phones/cameras or images with added GPS
information.)
a.. If you have such an image (stored as part of the Exif info), you can use menu to launch Google Maps in the web browser pointing to the related location.
b.. Alternatively the GPS location can be saved in the landmarks database and used by other application such as Google Maps

Other News
a.. Devices without the pencil (shift) key (e.g. N6120 Classic):
Long press of the ‘#’ key is interpreted as shift
b.. Zooming in the preview mode loads full sized image on as-needed basis
c.. Preview mode enables image panning (use shift+arrows)
d.. The Viewer remembers last selected image/folder
e.. Added option for keeping backlight on when viewing images
f.. Improved Exif information dialog
g.. The Viewer can be set to apply the rotation stored in the image (part of the EXIF info)
h.. etc.

A free evaluation version of the app can be obtained from Resco’s web site via the link below:
