news
--------------------------------------

  - improved thumbnail generation
  - some minor bugfixes



installation notes
---------------------------------------

  MysticView is meant to be a stand-alone utility, and I really
  recommend to install it in the SYS:Utilities drawer (or any
  other path that is looked up by the Workbench).

  in this case, MysticView can be easily configured to be the
  default tool for pictures and preset files. you just have to
  specify 'mysticview' instead of a clumsy path, such as
  'work:applications/graphics/viewers/mysticview/mysticview'.


recent changes

    - removed redundant modes from the screenmode requester.
    - some minor bugfixes.
