Help & Manual 3.1.0 build 651 available

Unread post by Alexander Halser »

Not a big thing: this update has only one small new feature - the find & replace dialog box remembers the last search word. So if you are happy with the last version, there is no need to download the new build. Version 3.1.0.651 is available from the download page for registered users.

However, a lot of things are changing beneath the surface. The open/save dialogs in Help & Manual, Impict and the manual designer are all new. We got rid of a 3rd-party component that managed the dialog extensions and developed an internal replacement. It looks identical but is more stable, faster and smaller (even the exe files are about 100 kb smaller).

The next version of Impict will support lines, arrows and callouts.

And during development, we detected an ugly bug in the object structure of Impict. The cursor objects unintentionally had a "shape". This is a bug in the internal object declaration. The shape did not work anyway but as a published property, it creates a serious problem: we needed to remove it, which results in an error when you attempt to load an .IPP image that contains a cursor symbol. The objects cannot be loaded. There is unfortunately no easy workaround for that. You may need to recreate screen shots that include cursor symbols.
