IntroductionExtremely fast JPEG viewing.
Details
SwiftJPEG uses Acorn's SpriteExtend module in RISC OS 3.6 or higher, to allow access to the extremely fast JPEG display facilities of the operating system.
Because the SpriteExtend module creates a 'Dynamic Area', a concept that did
not exist before RISC OS 3.5, this application normally only works on Risc
PCs. However, it can be run on RISC OS 3.1 - see the dedicated "RISC OS 3.1"
section of this manual for details.
SwuftJPEG is useful because although !Paint and !Draw will both load JPEGs,
they have drawbacks for general picture viewing and don't provide full screen
slideshow capabilities.
RISC OS 3.5 users will need the updated SpriteExtend module, which can be
downloaded if you don't already have a copy. See the SpriteExtend section for
more details.
