Despite my programming knowledge not being as good back then, it's still much better than the default windows image viewer and has a lot of nice features I like. The file date metadata is incorrect since it was reset by the file system at some point, it was written in 2016 ish. -The program can be run anywhere by right clicking and opening with this -file. This is a problem because with program requires several .ddls to work. -The solution is to set the program to a run a small script which changes the -cwd to the one in which the app is located (EEHPH2.py) and then run the main -app (EEHPH2_app.py) as a module. However the program doens't know where the -installation directory is. The solution is to use a script (on_install_setup.exe) -which sets the location of the installation directory in -%ALLUSERSPROFILE%/EEHPH2/location.txt. This script was compiled using pyinstaller -and it's source is on_install_setup/on_install_setup.py. There is a another script, -cleanup.exe, which was made in a similar way which deletes this file on uninstall. + -This program in written in Python3, compiled using cx_Freeze, and packaged using -inno. The inno script is at setup.iss. The setup for the cx_Freeze is setup.py. -This was done for the functionality of intallation and uninstallation scripts.

Then it will use the windows API to get the correct icon for a file/directory +- [ ] Reload image size on app resizing (not just maximizing)
