PicShow 4.3 released

A new version of PicShow is available. Earlier versions accepted command-line arguments to specify folder(s) with images to be displayed and options such as whether to show each image file's name, path, date taken, and Exif comments. But Windows shortcut files are limited to 256 bytes of such information, and with multiple fully-qualified folder paths it was easy to exceed that limit and have the arguments truncated. Version 4.3 allows the alternative of specifying a single argument consisting of the fully qualified path, name, and filetype of a .picshow file. If that is specified the program will look solely to the file for startup information. Previous alternatives of specifying command arguments, or of specifying none and displaying a dialog box for selecting a single folder to show images from, are unchanged. The .picshow file can contain arguments separated by spaces or for ease of reading on separate lines. Options like -showdate and -showcomment can be followed by commas as in olden days or not; the commas are ignored. If you want, you can use Explorer to associate the .picshow file type with PicShow, so double-clicking on a file brings up the program and displays the images specified.
