Hotspot co-ordinates mangled importing SHG image

Unread post by Simon Dismore »

Because SHG images are obsolete this is a very minor bug, at least from my point of view. I can use H&M 6 as a workaround if necessary.

Help and Manual supports the obsolete SHG and MRB image formats, and can import and edit hotspots in SHG files. For example, here's a 256x40 pixel SHG with 28 hotspots. The ? hotspot co-ordinates are (215,0)-(230,19).

When I try importing the same file into H&M 7 the hotspot co-ordinates are reduced to very small values, e.g. the ? hotspot is at (14,0)-(15,1), and no hotspots are displayed in the hotspot editor.

Hi Simon,

We'll check into this. It would be very helpful if you could mail me a couple of these SHG files with the affected hotspots at support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) so that Alexander can analyze them directly. :)

Just a note to confirm that this is fixed in 7.0.5 build 3680, as is the photoshop image support. Thanks as always.
