• Blocks support
  Isaiah has been supported to make my plug-in correspond to the Blocks since last September. (Thanks Isaiah) But I had no time to make plug-in.
  On release version, the SimplerViewer plug-in will support the Blocks.
• No-resize mode
  On bete version, resize function is implemented with NSImage and it's very simple and rudimentary method.
  This method is good enough for generating thumbnail images but is poor to resize main photo image.
  I had a lot of opinions about this matter from the blog comments, the RealMac forum comments and my friend who is professional photographer.
  So I will add the "No-resize mode" on release version.
  If this mode will be enabled, the plug-in will generate thumbnail image only. The main photo image file will be uploaded to the host directly.
  So you have to resize the photo image manually for upload. Conversely you can use more excellent imaging software such as Adobe Photoshop for resizing the photo image. It's good for the person who has a discriminating taste in photograph.
  Also if you disable this mode, you can upload the image file as quickly and painlessly as possible.
• CoreImage support
  Anyway, the resizing method which is used in beta version is poor and slow. So I will re-write this functionality to the CoreImage. That way, I think that it can speed up thumbnail image generating and resizing.
