As java-8 is no longer supported/used, we can now use higher level image resizing/rescaling functionality.
Note: This will not work correctly when dropping files from multiple folders on the program, or specifying multiple folders/files on the command line. It already displayed the number of loaded files.
Display the source folder in the bottom notification bar. Next to that: some exiftool commands work faster when done on a folder in comparison to "image by image". Especially when dealing with large amounts of images, this is really fast when comparing it with first loading the images, creating previews. Added option in the "Export/Import" pane and the "Exiftool Commands" pane to specify a folder instead of loading previews. Either the first of the loaded set, or the image selected from the list. When switching off "Create previews", always one preview is created in the bottom-left. This can speed up the image loading 400% to almost instantly. "feature request" #117: Option to "switch of" thumbnail generation and metadata reading when loading images.
"feature request" #156: Create setting where users can define their own font and font size for the application to accomodate higher (hdpi) resolutions. Dropping Twelvemonkeys also means that pgm/pict/tga is no longer supported (but who uses that anyway). Java-11 and up supports tiff out of the box. An external lib (twelvemonkeys) was used to support tif, but twelvemonkeys also moves on and tiff support using java-8 gets more and more cumbersome.
