Bug fix release 11-Dec-2018

Post by jsachs »

I have posted a new release (11-Dec-2018) in full installer and executable-only versions. Some changes to help file.

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

File Open: fixed problems with File Open from Default command. Added the ability to select multiple pathnames in the file list – the Remove from List and Run buttons on the tool bar now remove or run all the selected files. There is now a current file (marked with a red dot) as well as a separate set of selected files. See the help file for details. Fixed problem opening files with metadata indicating camera profile which in turn caused Full Screen Display to fail.

File Rename command is now available again within File Open via a button on its tool bar. A full install is required to get the new Rename icon bitmap.

Batch processing: breakpoints now mostly working

Removed the ability to drop files onto File Open thumbnails in the Image Browser as this was not working correctly in all cases. You can still either drop files into the main image area (which opens each one in a separate window) or into the File Open transformation dialog box (which appends their pathnames to the current file list).

Fixed problem with not being able to edit File Open transformations created by selecting a pathname from the recently opened files list at the bottom of the File menu.

Fixed problem with scripts saved without pathnames giving “Missing end statement” error when opened.

Fixed problem in Full Screen Display – it now displays the same image as the main display.

Add Border: changed command line syntax to work correctly when input image is changed. Existing scripts may be affected if border units were not set to pixels.

So the scripts saved with no image names while this bug existed are unusable now? Or can you tell us a simple edit on them, at least for those who can wrestle with a binary or Unicode editor?

As I recall, the scripts were missing a matching triple quote character (‴) at the end of the command.

For example:

image index 2 caption ″Mask1.tif″ saved_as ″″ saved_on ″″ parent -1 bypass -1 same_size 0 size_specific 0 n_inputs 0 n_masks 0 command ‴file_open pathname ″D:\Pictures\IMG\Displace Masks\Mask1.tif″ filetime ″20170521 105541″‴

Following the command keyword (and there are multiple ones per script file), there is a triple quote which must have a matching triple quote at the end of the line. In some cases I believe this was missing. You should be able to cut and paste the triple quote character from this message.
