Bug fix release 15-Jul-2019

Post by jsachs »

I have posted a new release (15-Jul-2019).

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Alt-click on a thumbnail in the image browser now makes the image current and, if the new image is the same size as the previous current image, also preserves the previous zoom factor and scrolling position. This lets you compare the same area of interest across several different versions of the same image.

File Save As: added code to deal with adjusting filenames to be unique when switching folders or file types within the Windows File Save dialog box. First it tries to save with a version number of “ v1”. If the file already exists, it adds “ v2”. If that exists, it tries “ v3” and so on up to “ v999”. If you type a filename or select one by clicking on an existing file, no version number is added. Unfortunately, adding this feature causes Windows to revert to an older style of its File Save dialog box that looks a little different from the modern version. There is a workaround to this but it involves rewriting a lot of code so this will not get fixed for a while.

The image-last-saved information (the S and M icons displayed in the image browser and the Saved As pathname and date and time in Image Info) are now cleared when loading scripts.

Added new File Collapse command. This is a convenient shortcut for use when you want to save a modified version of a file over the original. Note that this is a form of destructive editing that saves the modified image but does not save the editing steps used to create it. Collapse replaces the entire current branch with just the current image and saves the current image over the top-level image in the branch. The result is to collapse the current branch down to just one image which is saved without any script. See the help file for details.

Monochrome: fixed problems with probe not working when the Curve tab was selected.

Clone: fixed problems with clicking on image and input thumbnails in image browser.

- File Collapse
small problem with the meta-data. They are lost.
My guess: since the source file is overwritten there is nothing that can be copied from the source file to the target file by exiftool.
